    1LB Buffalo Wings

    Dope spot on the Southside to kick it with friends out on the patio or inside. They have a large dance area, plenty of tables, and possibly the best food any bar is putting out in the city! I have come to love their wings, all sauces, and their Steak Dinner! Also really enjoyed their Fried Pickles this last time. Prices are great and portions are large, score! Overall great spot for a fun night in San Antonio. Highly recommend! Follow me on Instagram at @AngelFoodDude for more!

    It was the last day of Burger Week, so we checked the SA Current for recommendations. This dive bar has a food counter on the side, and there are burgers from basic to fancy (fried egg? avocado? peanut butter?) We went basic this time. It was nice and juicy.

    Do not use a credit card to start a tab bartenders do not accurately keep track of what you've had to drink. When you go to get your tablet in the night you get excessive drink charges.

    Laid back bar with a full kitchen. The food l tried was fries and chicken strips, which are great when you're having a drink. The bartenders are all friendly and attentive. They have a podcast set up for rent and there's karaoke on Tuesdays. It seems like they have a lot of events they host. There's plenty of seating at the bar, inside, and picnic tables outside on the patio. Inside also has a large projector screen for when games are on.

    Thought Thinkers and Drinkers was doing trivia here tonight, but, it turned out their do210 post hadn't been updated. We loved the vibe, the diversity of patrons and the tunes. Bartender and grill folks were cool. Had the peanut butter burger arhat can highly recommended. It was cooked well but a bit more plain than I expected. Definitely a decent burger overall. Overall, loved it and will be back

    Cool bar! Divey and fun atmosphere. Every employee I interacted with was amazing. Such a sweet staff!! I actually came for a speed dating event with some girl friends and we had a BLAST. It was the first time they've hosted it, but they said they're going to start doing it more. We had a lot of fun! Liz did a great job facilitating. They had fun on-theme drinks too like the French Kiss (French 75). Would love to go to more events here! They have a good happy hour and kitchen too. This place definitely exceeded my expectations!

    Southtown 101 Fiesta menu is the BOMB! I don't know about you, but these last few days I was having some major Fiesta chicken-on-a-stick cravings. Just knowing that this time last year I was having a blast at Fiesta, made me want it even more and couldn't wait until November. That is why, the esposo and I decided to check out Southtown 101 temporarily Fiesta menu. I first tried to put my order over the phone and NADA. Then tried to do it over Grubhub and again, NADA. I then decided to send them an Instagram message and that is when I learned that they are only taking drive thru orders. They've disconnected their phones because they've been getting slammed with orders (great for them!). The drive thru line was a little long, but definitely worth the wait. Their chicken-on-a-stick are a little bit more expensive that at other restaurants, but they are pretty large. The seasoning on the chicken was PERFECTION! The chicken was juicy, flavourful and definitely better than the ones you get at NIOSA. Frankly, I was really disappointed at myself for not ordering more chickens to take home. Anyhow! I will definitely be coming back for more of their delicious chicken-on-a-stick. By the way, they are also selling turkey legs and corn in a cup. Both sell out really quickly so make sure to get here early, and be ready to wait around 15-20 minutes.

    Came here last Sunday for brunch and it was a disaster. They don't open at 10 am like it says on their website, an older lady outside doing maintenance stated they open at noon but it wasn't until 12:15 pm that someone actually unlocked the doors. When we finally got in, we found out that none of the menu prices were still accurate either, a $10 champagne bucket is now $13. I can understand inflation but it was very annoying that their website is basically trash since that's what attracted us to begin with. The inside smelled like urinals and I was very concerned that the same ice they use for bar drinks goes into the champagne buckets because the ice was BROWN. I can't lie about this, check out the picture. The only positive things I can say was that their DJ was spinning great 90s hits and they had a nice outdoor seating area. Definitely won't be returning.

    First time here...decided to attend during First Friday in March 2023, nice ambience. Love the neighborhood bar feel. Had the munchies so ordered Botanas, chips, cheese and the best steak bits. Yummy. Friends from out of town had the boneless wings, they loved the fries. Just an fyi...HH ends at 8pm, not 9pm as on website. Other than that...great place to hang. Love music.

    Get the steak!

    They have Happy Hour on Saturdays which is pretty cool, and in the kitchen area they have TVs which was a perfect way to catch the Spurs Game.

As I walked in, I was greeted by the lovely bartenders and found a seat at the bar. Inside is decorated very well with multiple TVs playing sports and music playing in the background. This is a full-service bar and remain open until 2am nightly 7 days a week. I went ahead and ordered a tall draft beer from the variety of choices they had on tap and also ordered a double shot of Lalo. The staff was friendly and kind while the operation was impeccable.

    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.)

Upon entering, we were worried that we'd meet the same fate as before as all the tables were filled and there was about 20-25 people in front of us. Fortunately we noticed a couple empty chairs at the bar and the bartender mentioned they were open. Counting our blessings we took em and started looking at the menus. As I'm browsing the menu, the girlfriend and I are intrigued by our surroundings as we saw plenty of tvs showing sports and a lot of music memorabilia on the walls. Made me think this is the kind of bar scene I would like to host at home if I had the space and $$$. But that's why we dine out at places like this. Back to the menu, I noticed a ton of beer taps so after browsing the menu, I decided on the hazy beer hug by Goose Island while the girlfriend ordered a spicy watermelon margarita. As an east coaster, I enjoy anything by Goose Island as they serve several types of beer where I used to live back in Northern VA. So I was happy sipping on it. The girlfriend enjoyed the margarita as it had the right amount of spice. She also mentioned she could hardly taste the booze in it; while this might be a complaint with some patrons, she prefers her cocktail this way. As for food, I decided on the Ultimate Burger with a side of broccoli and she ordered the Crispy Chicken sandwich with fries. The burger is fine; pretty tasty even. But the broccoli, definitely raw with only a brush of butter. It's obvious they did not microwave it in the bag long enough. We ordered a second side of broccoli; and same thing; raw with a slight butter glaze. They also gave me some fries with my burger; I'm not complaining about free fries but kind of odd they were thrown on the plate. Pretty rookie move there. Meanwhile, the crispy chicken sandwich was basic; good texture but not much flavor; could use more spices and flavors in the batter. Both dishes are pretty big so we were stuffed afterwards. I'd be open to returning to try other items or maybe if I'm in the mood for that burger. But definitely getting a different side with it.
