The experience I had here was great. Bar staff was excellent along with the band! Buck helped me out as well and made my night. Great place to spend some money. read more

I came here for a bday party . Reserved area or tables is the way to go . If you are coming here plan ahead or you will be standing the entire night because even if you go early the tables are all reserved . Just FYI on that . The menu is pretty good and reasonable . Try chicken on the stick its yummy ! Jessica the party coordinator needs to change the wine menu - it's disgusting . A trip to total wine is free. If they would just get better wine instead of that cheap dark horse . At least $25-$30 bottle range. Versus what they sell -dark horse ($8 at HEB) and sell it for $38. Ughhhhh so gross . We would of bought more bottles if the wine was good. They also charge to take in decorations in . I've never heard of that. Everyone was shocked to hear that . If your customers are paying for VIP that should be included or make it part of the package . It doesn't even make sense to charge for decorations . It's absurd! The waitresses are really good and quick ! They are on it . I think every waitress kept coming to our area asking if we needed anything . They have really stepped it up in that department. My last visit was over 2 years ago due to terrible service but that was not the case this time around . They have improved 100% on that!! read more

Been there 4-5 times, since the owner changed a lot of stuff been changed. Rude customer service at bar , Last Saturday i went there and that would be my last time going there.I see a lot of comments for parking problems but Actually Parking was super close to front door and we tip them $10 is not bad, don't forget you at north side town. read more

I love this bar! Great 80's bands play here! Great wait staff, clean restrooms and even better happy hours.

Picks is a great bar/club/venue. But the band they have tonight the "High Rollers" from Austin,Tx. They SUX!!! Bring back Finding Friday. Your establishment is top notch. Pick is a great place please go the drinks, food & staff are awesome Just avoid The High Rollers!!! At ALL costs. Sorry guys you 2 vocalist Sux. They can sing, in the "SHOWER!" read more

Driving...glanced over at the Ivy Bar...noticed "Picks" and decided to check it out. Sauntered up to the bar. Kelly winked at me, smiled almost condescendingly, and asked "What'll you have?" Me, ever the lounge savant, replied "Hendricks and tonic." So, I order chicks on sticks and gently nom-nom-nom them as she watched intently. "Why," I say,"are you watching me eat?" She thinks for a moment..."Because I find it to be interesting." Sold... read more

Service was substandard. Watched patio waitress go to all the tables around us and ask how they were doing... except for our table with 2 people in it. Had to get up and order our drinks from the bar ourselves. First impression...Not a place I would recommend.... jessica. Thanks for your prompt response.. being from a service industry... customer service should be priority... especially before large crowd got there. Waitress with large hoop earrings on tonight was the server on site I am referring to. read more

Amazing food, great service, awesome music, and the atmosphere is through the roof good! I love coming in to hang out after work and have my usual Turkey Day sandwich followed by their "Pineapple Express" cake..amazing food. Chef Eric can really cook! As for the music: they seem to know of a lot of good local bands like Finding Friday and 4Play now known as Play it 4ward! The place gets packed on the weekends so it's hard to get a drink sometimes, but patience is a virtue, and these bands are entertaining as it is so I don't mind the wait ;P I suggest coming in during the week for their happy hour specials and grabbing something to eat with the co-workers or impress your bosses with the private booths they have and treat them out to lunch! Why wait for this place to get big, let's make it happen! read more

Spent over $200, reserved a table and went on a night with a live band so here goes... Pros: 1) Good sound system Cons: 1) Way overpriced drinks. $4.50 a beer, $10 a shot of whiskey. Thought it was cheaper buying a bucket of beer. Nope... same damn price. 2) DJ music sound level is perfect. Then the band comes on and it's so blaring loud you can't even hear what the singers are saying. Won't come back if it's this loud again. read more

The queso is AMAZING! They put lime zest in it! Couldn't be better! Love the bartenders and the drinks are delicious! read more

Picks Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

***Update*** In response to management comments. Oh Jessica. If you would have read my comments like a grown up you would see that I said " I used to really enjoy it and visited regulalry." I would say even more so with previous management because you didn't get nickel and dimed. I also stated it was still a fun place with good music but that doesn't justify a 5- star rating as you believe. As far as your personal attack on me back in my Current days, which have nothing to do with my review, you signed an agreement of which I was holding my end of the bargain and executing per that SIGNED agreement. You were upset because you wanted more than what was agreed to and were being unreasonable. As a matter of fact, I told my "Supervisor" as you refer to, that I wasn't going to work with you anymore because you were too hard to please and it wasn't worth my time to try and keep the account. Again, the aforementioned previous management was courteous and pleasant to work with and didn't have unrealistic expectations. My review was very unbiased regardless of any previous professional dealings and from what I've seen on other reviews I'm not alone. I wish you the best. read more

Great food & the owner was there working at 1am, which we loved. They don't close the kitchen super early like most places, so this is a definite go-to for an evening out, whether you start or end here. The food is served until 2am! Very impressed. I'll be back! read more

See all

I visited here for the first time and absolutely love this place! It is somewhat small but the it was a great time. First off, Finding Friday played when I was there and they are fantastic! The drinks are cheap which is always a plus. What I enjoyed the most though was the staff. We had the best waitress ever! I did not get her name but she did an amazing job serving our group. She was fun and always had a great smile. This is a great place to hang out, dance and enjoy some live music. I will definitely go back! read more

Wait staff is on top of everything, drinks never ran out and food served hot. Live music all weekend with local bands playing great music to listen to and or dance to. Great atmosphere. read more

Picks Bar - This guy can make a drink! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Picks has the best staff in all of San Antonio. They're all friendly and have a lot of knowledge about drinks. They've always got new beers on tap and great cocktails. When you go early, they have AMAZING specials, but even if you go during prime time their drinks are priced to please. I've never been big on bar food, but their sliders are sooo good. 14/10 would recommend Picks to anyone and everyone. read more

Great service and good music. The bottle service has amazing rates for standard selection. The drinks are extremely good. At the end we order food and it was good. 10/10 read more

I go to Picks when the Band Looking for Friday plays. Always a great time; good & fast service too when you are sitting at a table.

We love Picks for the live music, especially the tribute bands. On entertainment alone I give them a 5-star rating. The waitstaff work their derrières off--they're attentive and Uber-friendly. The only reason I would consider giving them a lower than 5-star rating has to do with their bartenders. By the third round, they tend to send out lower-quality liquor. We only order Glenlivet neat, so when they send us some knock-off you better believe we know it. They'd done this to us on two different visits, so we know this is intentional trickery. However in their defense, when you address the issue they are quick to correct it at their own expense. read more

Fantastic live bands every weekend. (eighties and nineties music) Bar is a popular hotspot, which becomes extremely crowded, and parking can be horrific after 10pm, so get there early. read more

A cool out of they way bar. Live music was what I enjoyed. I had a few Margarita's and was impressed! They were fresh and flavorful. The frozen were even better! Wanna lick my lips to taste the salt? read more

Came here on a rainy Friday night. Arrived at 8pm reserved a table and the fun and excitement ensued. Kristina and Alex did a great job of taking care of us all night. Band, Finding Friday was great, crowd was really friendly till some woman tried to grab me on the dance floor and my girlfriend had to step in and set her straight. She told her to go find her own man cause this one was taken. We met some really great people whom we let share our table and they returned the favor by buying a round of drinks. and we even purchased drinks for fellow from Floresville that had forgotten his wallet. We will definitely be back. read more

Needs new management and staff. Waitress hardly ever tended to our group. Never brought our drinks yet still charged us.

First time visit with friends. Honestly it was great. They had $1 Sangrias and beers till 9 so we enjoyed the $1 drinks for a hr lucky us. The food was good and the band was great. It was a local band called Taking Friday I think or something Friday. Dance floor was great and they had a patio as well with the tv showing the band playing. Definitely need to visit read more

Who sells tables for $25?! This wack place. Most places are first come first serve. Not this place. Dont bother coming early it even if tables are open they make you pay and circle you like a hawk till you move. Terrible customer service and business practices. read more

Was served a bottle of beer that was chipped and cut my lip. Management wouldn't comp my table for shots that I have been buying all night! Horrible customer service! They said it wasn't enough blood! WTF. Just looking for common courtesy! read more

First time here, first time in a long time really to go out...honestly. The parking lot was confusing because most of it is taped off for valet but we waited & waited and no valet guy so I parked myself. We got there before 9p so we got in free which is nice. Most of the tables are reserved a head of time so the only place to sit down was outside. The patio was nice & relaxing with heaters and TVs everywhere. Cover band was great/played Journey, Van Halen, a lot of great "oldies". It was a nice, mature crowd (35+) which is surprising. The waitresses are great- super friendly and took great care of us quickly even as the crowd grew larger throughout the night. Grab your friends & go -great atmosphere to hang out! read more

My server Alex was absolutely wonderful! She has the best customer service and made my experience so great! She is an absolute gem!

I have been to Pick's bar before and i have always had a great time. The staff was very friendly and found us a table at last minute for my friends b-day party. The only thing that was not good at all was their appetizers, they were super greasy and extremely salty. I think they need to focus on the food they are serving their customers and not rush things to serve us crappy foods. I will go back for sure but will be more careful about what foods to order. Great place to hang out and party with friends!! read more

This place is crowded. And by crowded, I mean to the hilt. Went here to meet some friends and instantly found them. Music is loud making conversation almost non-existent. Music hits from the 80s and 90s. And just about everyone there is into the music just as much as I am. Not a lot of machismo going on here either, which makes it more than a great place to visit. San Antonio has a problem with guys getting "muchos burachos" and then shooting at one another in the parking lot. Not at this place. for certain. read more

Great Bar with live music and their cocktails are on point!! They also have a cute outdoor patio with heaters and t.v.'s!

I love the band that plays here "Finding Friday". The crowd is variety in ages also. The drinks are priced well too. The food is good. The bathrooms are clean. Sometimes it gets way too hot and they'll add.some fans near the stage but if your a lady you have to be careful cuz it will blow your dress right up while your dancing, yikes!!!.... read more

Picks, you used to be great place to hangout and have drinks but not with this valet bs that is going out front/back. The fact that it takes up all the 1st half of the front parking lot and ALL of the back, super ridiculous! I'm really hoping that you will reconsider the layout of the valet parking and at least keep it to the back and let normal customer park, instead out in the dirt. So I got off the phone with Jessica the manager and she advised me on what's going on with valet. There should be a sign saying free complementary valet for Pick's customers and I suggested to promote on their website and as well as facebook. She took my advice and was working on the email as we spoke to get the website updated. Wonderful lady, so my rating went from a 1 star back to 4 stars. Just because of Jessica! read more

This place is awesome. Great live music and service is amazing! Love the house shot made with fresh cucumber.

Music venue 4 stars, drink service 1 star. Very nice sound stage and lighting. Bartender gets F-. A well whisky sour sold for 7 bux, and then took 10 minutes to make change, and barely tasted like a cocktail. I will only go with bottled beer from this point forward. If the service staff wants s##### reviews and below average tips, keep up the substandard service... read more

*update * You left out how you were directly rude to my wife, and not to the stumbling drunks who were literally falling on her, hands out on girls' bodies as they fell down, and that is why she didn't tip you. Grow up - when you piss off a customer you get no tip... no reason to have added insult to injury. I am happy you will fix all the problems that you defend as not being problems. read more

Beautiful Bar. They have a great selection of spirits and awsome mixed drinks. Defiantly the place to be, for live music.

Good service, very friendly bartenders. Didn't understand why a bar called Picks with Rock and Blues musicians on the walls is playing top 40 on a Saturday night? read more

Great music with a fun atmosphere to hang out with some friends. The parking sucks in the shopping area.
