    Good spot for a few drinks and had some TVs for sports watching. There was also a good amount of games to play. Good music playing in the background. I got eaten to death by mosquitos! One stall restroom located outside which was completely dark and hard to see even during the day.

    Cheers!

    Ok, so full disclosure... 1. I'm old (take that as you will). 2. We went to this place on St. Patrick's Day. So not sure if my experience was unusual... although, I read several other reviews and I don't think it is. So when we first got to this place, it looked like a pretty cool place. Open air, fun, decently priced drinks. Lots of bars. Service was ok, but in fairness it was a busy night. As the night wore on, it became very clear that this place is a vibe. Think college party. People everywhere. Hyper and frenetic energy. No personal space (especially if you wanted to sit). Always at risk of having a drink spilled on you. And LOUD. This is not a place for a conversation. Or even a place to yell one word sentences at your companions. To be honest, I don't know why anyone over 30 would want to hang out here. One real drawback, cashing out our tab was really hard because there was a massive line at the bar, there was no organization, and it was impossible to get a bartender's or server's attention. That said, if this is your scene... then you will likely have an awesome time. From what I could tell, the 20-somethings seemed to be full-on enjoying themselves. Ultimately, this is why I give this place three stars. I'm not going to trash their rating because a place is delivering on what they set out to do. So, if you like loud, crowded, raucous parties (hey, some people do - that's why places like this exist)... then this place is all for you. Bring it.

    Steadily but surely becoming a frequent hangout for me. Small indoor area. Covered out door area that has heaters. Larger outdoor area uncovered. Always a good DJ playing good music. It's a vibe here. Great place to hang out, catch the game, or whatever with friends. Staff is always very nice. And they have multiple food trucks on site for you to try some really good food. If you have not been GO!! If you have been, GO again and I will see you there!! Thanks y'all.

    The Social Spot is a really chill outdoor bar to hangout with friends. We stopped by this neighborhood bar last weekend to grab a few beers before having lunch at another downtown patio restaurant. I was very hesitant to go there because it was really hot (96 F), and was afraid to melt in the crazy Texas heat. They had 4 giant fans with misters that kept us super cool while enjoying a few beers in their shaded area. They have a wide variety of beers, including a few local ones. They also have a large bar with plenty of choices for everyone. They have two giant murals that are very "puro san antonio". They are also a dog friendly and family friendly bar. I will definitely be coming back to the Social Spot!

    Everything is outside. You aren't allowed to order drinks at the bar the server will come to your table. This was a cool laidback spot. Didn't have a menu available to look at so I came here too see what drinks they had :) Blue Hawaiian was delicious! Service isn't the best considering there weren't a ton of people when we came. We went back a second time and it was PACKED. But overall great prices for drinks, nice atmosphere. Loved all the murals they had.

    Very fun spot on Broadway. Came here to enjoy the outdoor area and great drinks. The drink selection was pretty good but the service was slow. Great place to hang out with the crew.

    The AWFUL DISAPPOINTMENT of a "crawfish party". Started two hours LATE, then ran out of food! Couldn't even serve everyone who came!

    Huge disappointment! I went to this place yesterday for the first time for their "crawfish party", which was supposed to start at 3pm. I got there at 4pm, and they informed me that the chef had "slept in" that day and they wouldn't even be taking orders until 5pm! I waited around, then when they finally started taking orders, they only had ONE person at the register and the line was SO long it took me an ENTIRE HOUR to get to the front of the line. Got the order placed around 6pm, then my food wasn't even ready until 6:45! I'm lucky to have even received food though, because the e people at the end of the line were told that the restaurant RAN OUT of crawfish!!! Not to mention, the entire time the worker was taking orders, the was doing shots (of hard alcohol) with the cook. This is an outside venue, and the music was so loud, you can't talk to the person standing next to you. Plus, lots of nasty smells. I am never going back. This place is a total waste of time. Not at all fun!

    This is a really chill and convenient place to hang out before one of the Fiesta parades start. They have an indoor bar, service is pretty quick and very friendly. You can hang out inside in the shade or hang outside in the spacious outdoor area and enjoy live music. The night I was there, Charlie Bravo was playing. The band was awesome and the sound was good. Charlie Bravo does mainly 80's metal and hair metal rock. It was so much fun. Plenty of tables and seating outside with umbrellas covering the tables. Fun, fun, fun if you are trying to kill time before the parade starts. No cover to get in like some places do during Fiesta. I'm going to try this place out after Fiesta is over - it really seems like a good crowd and a fun place to hang out.

    The service isn't good and drinks barely contain alcohol. Not a good place to have drinks.

    Is food served here?

    We have a food truck that serves food Tuesday-Sunday.

    What time do they have Happy Hour? Friday nights specifically. I can't find a menu or a website anywhere...

    According to their Facebook happy hour is from 5-8. I've gone around 7 and the drinks were super cheap, and the drink specials later on in the evening were great too.…
