    a bucket of beer and a glass of beer
    Rodrigo B.

    On any list that describes what you should visit in San Antonio, you'll have the venerable San Antonio Riverwalk, the Market Square, and the UNICEF recognized San Antonio Missions in the Southside. You'll also get lame recommendations like visting the alamo or the nearby Ripley's Believe It or Not, or some other cheesy venue. However, what you should visit are institutions in San Antonio's barrios, and in the Westside of San Anto we are talking about places like Roosevelt Park, Ray's Drive Inn, The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center and Jaimes Place. What sets apart Jaimes Place is it's hold on the heart of the Westside. Although the location was opened during the pandemic, Jaime Macias is following a tradition of his fathers in having a gathering place in the Westside. In essence what is a local dive bar in the middle of several tire shops and convenient stores that pepper the area, it's become a cultural institution as Jaimes Place holds movie festivals, poetry readings, art installations, car club showings, and DJ parties that keeps the spirit of San Antonio intact. It's the music gatherings that truly offer an experience to San Antonio. On any given weekend night, you might have Bombasta, a salsa cumbia brass 8 person band jamming out, a night of cruising classics spun by Crate Royalties, or a local Tejano band testing the bands sounds and you see San Anto at its finest. People dancing, cumbia lines forming, beers sloshing around, and people giving each other smiles and winks, enjoying la música típica. It's on these nights where Jaime's Place captures the spirit of El Mero Weso, where folks in work clothes enjoy a beer at the same time a vato y su hyna are dressed to the nines dance to Sunny and the Sunliners while a group celebrating a cuñadas birthday regal in that warm summer breeze... and you see what San Antonio truly is, beyond those terrible pamphlets and brochures you get at the Hyatt tempting you to visit a nearly 300 year old building. If you want to see, and most importantly feel San Antonio, make the 5 minute drive from San Antonio and get down James Brown to the sound of the Westside at Jaimes Place. Pro Tip: Say hi to Jaime as you walk in, you'll see him checking out the crowd. Tell him you read Rodrigo's review which prompted your visit. It won't get you anything free but at least he'll know I did put the review. Pro Tip: Get a bucket of beers as it's a great deal; they'll let you mix up the beers too so you can try several. Food isn't sold here so come after dinner or order it and have it delivered; plenty or tables to go around.

    Mas California in the westside.

    The drinks and service was great. Was a little disappointed that during fiesta they had a California band headlining. And today I saw a poster with the amazing shirt that says unbow your head but the hat in it is a San Diego hat. Pictures are everything and this place is becoming California based and that's just not the westside. The music and images of our community are everything and when I come here I want to feel at home. Not the California being pushed on us with the music from califas and sports teams. Let's have some pride in where we're from and the artist here. And then I saw more califas being rammed down our throats with future events. Really sad. First the Californians come buy our houses for cheap and now our spaces we thought were built for our barrio.

    Rode our bikes on a Pub Ride on Sunday, 2/20 and stopped here for Aqua Sol Sunday with DJ Despienada who was spinning some great tunes from Tejano, Rock and Funk that was nice on this wonderful winter day. The place had a good local crowd as we all enjoyed food, drinks and music. Service was super sweet and they had a couple crafts on tap (sorry Yuengling isn't craft...lol). Was going to the port-a-potty outside and a gentleman told me there were restrooms inside and I should look around. So glad I went inside to see this old house transformed into a nice area with sitting areas and stairs leading upstairs. This is a great place to enjoy the city feel with beer and food.

    In the heart of the west side is Jaime's Place. Pretty chill west side dive bar with the soul of San Antonio. There's good live music, great drinks and good vibes. I highly recommend their Blue Hawaiian, boozy but not overwhelming. I have yet to try the food so that's for the next visit.

    This place is neat. It's on the west side of town. Deep west side of town. And let me just say this. It's about time someone brings a touch of class to the west side. I mean, charcuterie boards in the west side?? Hell yeah! Let's show them the raza has some class! It's a Large place. VERY well put together and very clean. They seem to have a dj many nights. The only reason I have given them only 4 stars is because they're beer and wine only..... since I can't really drink beer anymore it really puts a damper on the things I can get here. If they will consider carrying some sorts of liquor at some point I know that we would come here MUCH more often especially since they are RIGHT down the street from the house.

    I love coming to Jaime's place. The food is good, drinks are cold and the music is immaculate. Jaime's Place is the heart of the west side, championing traditional Latino culture which has built the area and sharing it with other members of the community. It's a good place to come back to your roots and always feel at home. The wings and burgers are really good and always cooked to perfection. The outdoor patio is my favorite place to sit but there is indoor availability as well. Inside you will see San Antonio history , specifically as it pertains to the Macias family mixed in with some awesome artwork. The staff is also very nice and friendly. You always feel at home at Jaime's Place.

    Jaime's Place!

    Jaime's Place is the perfect place to go to listen to some good old Chicano Soul and Tejano music! It was a bit cold but they had affordable beer buckets and food specials! The kitchen closes at 10, but they had a little market in the inside of the area. It's an all outdoor venue but it's a great place to have family and fun. Great music to dance to!

    Such a fun place to hang out!! Beer menu longer than food menu. Not much on food choices but otherwise a great friendly place to hang out

    Jaime's Place is a great local bar and hangout spot for everyone. Children are welcome and you're always guaranteed a great time, a cold drink, and some great music! I enjoy visiting Jaime's place at least once a week and make sure to order the wings or the nachos every visit. I recommend Jaime's Place, which is located on a property owned by the family for many generations. They really do take pride in their work and hospitality.

    Great place to enjoy live music and get a feel of San Anto! Outside is spacious and all around a great feel. Enjoy art work inside and outside of Mexican-American culture!

    Is Jamie's place dog friendly?

    I would think so in the outside area, though I don't recall seeing any dogs the last time I was there.

    If you're looking for great wings in San Antonio, Fried Hard is a must try. The wings were…read moreincredibly fresh and fried to perfection. Crispy on the outside while still juicy inside. What really stood out were the flavors. Even the hotter sauces had amazing taste. Too many wing spots seem to think "hot" means sacrificing flavor, but Fried Hard nailed both heat and taste. Our favorite flavors were the Hot Lemon Pepper and Memphis Bold. Both were packed with flavor and easily some of the best wings we've had in a long time. The food was so good that during our 4th of July weekend trip, we ended up coming back two days in a row. That's probably the best compliment I can give. If you're a wing fan, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

I felt like I needed to check my sodium level afterwards. So I'll ask for seasoning on the side next time.

There was a guy there that was picking up wing and he stated that they were the best and big pieces. So he showed me how to order. And I place my order as it was Wednesday dollar day for wings so I order wings. I had the parmesan garlic, lemon pepper. Let me tell you they were so good, the wait was too long but worth the wait. It best to order online then go pick up. The restroom were locked so that is why I gave 4 and we weren't able to speak with no one. If you need any special thing or extras please write it I. The space provided because they don't give you anything but what you order no napkin just nothing else. Enjoy and hope the you didn't forget to order anything special or extra as you won't get it.

I was torn between three and four stars. I decided on the fourth star because I didn't feel it right deducting a second star just because I may have made the wrong decision on a sauce. I got here right about the time they opened. Seated right away and read a book while awaiting a friend to join. Ultimately, my friend stood me up. I was waited on at perfect intervals during my waiting period. This place is nicer inside than you'd expect just seeing it from the outside. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. I ordered the Banban and opted for the Smokey Mayo. I also ordered the white garlic fries, which I found bland, which was surprising given the amount of sauce. Fries came out first. I would have preferred the fries come out with the wings, but the wings took FOREVER. I literally finished my fries before the wings arrived. I think the waitstaff knew it took too long given the apology received when the food arrived. Wouldn't do the Smokey mayo again I just didn't like it. Borderline too spicy (listen to the on the menu) for me. The original was okay. As a matter of fact, I think I enjoyed the wings more as leftovers than I did in the restaurant. Overall: it's okay; I'm glad I tried it. I might go back if a friend wanted to try it. I found the $45 tab kinda high for just me. And to the young employee who decided to do her eye makeup while standing behind in the middle is the restaurant but behind the register, I couldn't care less, but some people might find it unprofessional. This isn't Sephora.

There was no check-in between. Having ordered Parmesan and spicy wings (which were shaped more like fast food nuggets, oily, and over cooked), I waited the better part of 10 minutes to request a refill. By the time she came back with my water I was over it and requested the receipt and a to-go box for the wings I had left. Nibbled on my soggy but clearly frozen fries for another 10 minutes with no to-box having been received. Having wasted my time and about a third of my meal, I saw myself out.

The batter tasted like flour and that's it. I don't understand if the owners have their flavorful tenders at smoke shack why aren't they to the same standard here .
