A Hauntingly Perfect Start or End to Your Night!…read more If you're craving a cocktail with a side of dark romance, Near Dark delivers in every way. This intimate, goth-inspired bar wraps you in a sultry red glow, making it feel like you've stepped into another dimension. The drinks? Hauntingly creative, just like the vibe. The service? Almost mystical--like they know exactly what you need before you do witchcraft, perhaps? Ha! With a soundtrack straight out of a dream--from The Smiths to New Order to The Cure, to Bauhaus; every sip feels like a scene from a moody music video. But beware: this spot is small and fills up fast. If you want to soak in the atmosphere without the crush of a crowd, come early. Then again, a little waiting is worth it when the vibe is this good. Whether you're kicking off the night or seeking a spooky nightcap, Near Dark is an experience you won't forget.

Food - there is no food here just alcohol…read more Service - I gave it three stars because the bar staff was too busy on their phones or attending to their friends and/or regulars. So it was difficult to get a drink or their attention for another drink. Ambiance - It's a small bar, although it fits the name, it's difficult to navigate the small corridor to the bathroom. So unless you're planted at the bar with a good seat, it's best not to move because you'll be tripping on other peoples legs to get to the bathroom. But other than that, it's a very punk bar with good music and dim lights, something very chill and cozy that everyone can enjoy. I did enjoy the vibe this bar provided, and I think everyone should visit it, I hope it expands and grows because it has a lot of potential.

Don't even think about it...JUST GO!

They were not busy and perhaps we should have said something but it took them 30 minutes and 2 different people to finally get our 2 drinks. The drinks were not good and considering we had plan to be somewhere when we finally got our drinks we paid the bill gulped down our not good drinks and left. This bar looks like it can be good but get better employees. If people sit at the bar they want to talk if they sit away from bar let them be. Serve the drinks and go away. The lady that kept talking to us was acting as if she ... Maybe this place will get better.

The Study never fails to disappoint!…read more They have a great bourbon selection, and most are very reasonably priced! Bartenders are very knowledgeable and offer great suggestions! They don't do parties of larger than four, so it is always quaint, cozy and intimate. Great atmosphere!

The menu tells a story, and all of the signature drinks are based on writings. The bartenders do more than mix drinks. each of the signature drinks are a true presentation.. if you're looking for something more than just an average bar or speakeasy. this is an amazing place. I recommend reservations because it's small but it's a wonderful experience after dinner or for a happy hour. They definitely focus on drinks, but do offer some bites.

You tell them the spirit you're feeling and the vibe or flavors you're in the mood for, and they craft a cocktail from scratch just for you. Every drink feels intentional, balanced, and elevated. The bartenders actually listen, ask the right questions, and then deliver something that somehow hits perfectly every time. It's not just a cocktail, it's an experience. If you're tired of the same old menu drinks and want something creative, personalized, and next level, this is the spot. Can't recommend it enough.

While in San Antonio for the weekend, my wife and I along with a girl friend stopped into Maverick…read moreWhisky Distillery for a tour and to try out what they had to offer. The tour was very interesting and really enjoyed learning the history of the Distillery. We then sat to try out some Gin, rum, vodka, whisky and bourbon. All were excellent and very unique in taste. All three of us had a great time and enjoyed tasting what they had to offer. We enjoyed it so much we ended up bringing home so rum, gin and a little whiskey. Next time we are in San Antonio area, we will definitely be stopping back in to Maverick and so what else they have to offer.

I definitely recommend the ramen and the edamame. One of the things I love most about this place is the concept. Part of what you spend goes to different charities, which makes the experience feel even better. Good food, great service, and supporting a good cause. Hard to beat that. Definitely recommend checking it out.

This was not the relaxing experience it is marketed as. It was actually quite frustrating. The one…read morepostive was the margarita was a good blend of flavors and strong. I needed it! Saving grace was my Premier Elite status gave me two free drinks. The service was non existent.. the waitress and the bartender looked out at me multiple times and did nothing to cover my table. 14 minutes before someone came to the table and that was only after I got up and asked if I order at the bar. Then 13 more minutes before I had a drink. 22 more minutes before I had my appetizer and 27 more minutes before she checked and gave me the bill. I let it play out cause I was not in a hurry and wanted to give her a chance to recover .. she did not. Btw .. there were only 3 other tables occupied at that time. Now as for the appetizer ... brisket burnt ends. They were quite good .. flavor of the sauce .. tender .. no fat. However, they were brisket cubes and not burnt ends. When your from TX, you know what a burnt end is! It is a beautiful location and could have been a great experience. But this is not the level an Autograph hotel is expected to be.
