    This was a very quick visit. A rooftop bar right in the heart of town. We stopped by had one cocktail that the waitress highly recommended & it was very refreshing & delicious. I wish we could've stayed longer but definitely next time.

    Everything about this place says "high class" casual. Service was incredible. Ask for Sherry if you can. We sat right near the glass railing so we could see the river. The food was great, the atmosphere was inviting, and we loved the way they paid attention to the details. If I'm ever in San Antonio again, I'll be back!

    This bar is definitely at the top of my list in San Antonio. It has a great vibe, and the staff is very friendly. I've been here multiple times and will definitely keep coming back. If you go, I recommend having dinner downstairs at Domingo and then grabbing a drink at the bar upstairs--they're located in the same building.

    On the third floor of the Hilton Canopy hotel and above Domingo restaurant, this is a nice little bar with a small balcony. There's not much of a view but it's comfortable and cozy. Our cocktails were fine but nothing special or especially unique. Service was good. Drinks run about $16 each and there are a few limited appetizers available to order. It's a nice place to have a drink before dinner but not a place I'd go out of my way to go back to.

    Amazing vibes, awesome bartenders & great views !!! My fav bar in San Antonio when I visited. Very open and modern bar, they have little snacks and food too. Drinks were 10/10!!!! I wish we had this bar in Austin overlooking the lake it was such a nice breeze from up top. I will be back!! Best bar in SA

    After seeing cute instagram pictures of the grinch decor, we decided to come check it out and I couldn't believe we hadn't been here before. For starters, the view itself! You see the riverwalk, Aztec theatre and all the twinkling lights at night. Off to a great start! We got two drinks, 1 holiday one that came in a light bulb and an off the menu watermelon margarita. Both drinks were very good and strong. A bit pricey but to be expected from the location. The bartenders were very welcoming and the place was a bit empty for a Friday night, but probably because it was chilly and windy. There are indoor seats which are available if it's too cold for you. Overall, I'm excited to make this a regular place to visit with out of towners or just to hang out. Come check it out!

    tldr- Maybe I had too high of an expectation, lets go with that. Try it out for yourself. I came here because they had been mentioned on Conde Nast Traveler, which first off, WOW, props to yall. My problem was I came here and expected too much and the place, drinks, vibe and service did not deliver. We arrived Friday night around 10:30pm, it was our first spot for the night but it just lacked so badddddd. The server did not want to be there and she seemed to be the only one, which I can have patience for, but her attitude was so off putting. Didn't bother wiping down the tables and when she handed us the menus they were falling apart, literally. This place fronted, I low key felt love bombed. Article I had read made it seem so chill and cool. Anyways, we ordered our drinks, they came out quickly but damn did they suck. Ingredients seemed to clash with each other, they didnt mesh well and not only was it my drink. My husband had asked for water three times until they finally remembered to bring it out for him. I thought it was funny how our time there seemed so bleh, there were actually crickets CHIRPING so loud, and THAT was exactly how we felt. Claims to be a roof top bar, on the third floor? idk. Like another reviewer wrote, "A mix of possibilities."

    A mix of possibilities. I loved the guacamole and chips .. good flavor and some serious heat. The service was fast and friend.. could talk all night. What I do not understand is a Paloma with well tequila costs the same as an old fashion with premium bourbon. Neither drink impressed me. The view is what you come for and it has plenty. Outside. Overlooking the Riverwalk. My real complaint is they have to find a solution for the bees. Oh the bees.

    Despierto - signature cocktail

    Night cap on the rooftop bar. Popped in for one last drink for the evening. It's overlooking the river walk, but removed from the crowds. Their signature cocktails are delicious. Great ambience and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

    This place is amazing! The atmosphere, food, service, drinks. . . We had an amazing experience here & WILL definitely be back!! The Wagyu Flat Iron was pure perfection. The enchiladas were delicious, the ceviche was a perfect starter & the brownie was to die for. CANT WAIT TO COME BACK

    a glass with a drink in it
    Stacey S.

    Stopped here for drinks while in San Antonio. Bar is on the 3rd floor overlooking N. St. Mary's St. Not a bad view. Drinks well balanced and decent variety. Sat inside as the seats at the bar were extremely uncomfortable. It's in a hotel but not a bad spot to have a drink especially as the sun sets or at night.

    a drink with a flower on the rim
    John G.

    The drinks are good I loved the Selena inspired cocktail 'Amor Prohibido.' The outdoor balcony is shaded which is a must in the humid San Antonio heat! The view overlooks the River walk without being touristy. I would come back again!

    Rooftop ambiance
    Albert A.

    Food good (guacamole and chips), drinks top shelf (strawberry and basil along with Tamarind and Grapefruit). Service, top notch. Ambiance at the bar was very becoming (breezy night with rooftop elegance). Recommended for pre-post gaming/show/bar hopping.

    On the bright side the bartender (forgot his name sorry) brought me towels and he had someone else bring me dry socks from the Canopy Hotel that it's inside of!

Morrissey hadn't graced San Antonio in over 10 years, with past cancellations and postponements haunting fans along the way. So when he finally returned, San Antonio Moz fans showed up and showed out. Despite multiple after-party options across the city, fans from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Japan, and all across the U.S. chose Bang Bang Bar as the place to be on a cold Saturday night. Hosted by local emcee Ricardo Moz and Apollo DJ, the night turned into one for the history books. Bang Bang Bar is easily one of Texas' best dive-lounge bars...the perfect blend of gritty and cozy. Great cocktail program, solid beer selection, and a vibe that just works. The décor leans heavy into a 1950s-60s lounge aesthetic, with intimate spaces like the Blue Room and Yellow Room, perfect for groups of 7-10. Low lighting, warm atmosphere, and zero pretension exactly what you want for a night like this. Bang Bang Bar consistently supports local and touring acts, spanning punk, alternative, and DJ-driven nights, and this Moz Smiths Disco was no exception. It was wall-to-wall classics all night long. Major credit to Phanie and the Bang Bang Bar management they rolled up their sleeves, brought in extra bar staff, and handled an overwhelming crowd like pros. Fans waited up to 45 minutes in the cold, with a line wrapping around the building, and the energy inside never dipped. As the host of Panic On The Streets, I'm incredibly thankful to Bang Bang Bar for helping us pull off one of the best after-parties we've done in years. Fittingly, 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of both Bang Bang Bar and Panic On The Streets of San Antonio and what a way to celebrate. Bang Bang Bar has long been one of my favorite bars in town, and after this night, that reputation is more than earned. Can't wait to do another Moz Smiths Disco here. -- Panic On The Streets of San Antonio

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)
