Cheap beer, but sketchy. It reminded us of a dive bar that we have back home. The staff was just two older ladies who were very nice and attentive. Everyone else in there seemed on the older side. There was one lady in there that seemed a little hostile; no one paid her any mind so I suppose she was a regular. It was nothing special, just something close to our hotel that had cheap beer. We had one drink and then left because we just weren't feeling thw atmosphere for a vacation. Ultimately, it's a place primarily for locals. read more

Stop by this location earlier to use the ATM. It is a little hole in the wall place. Literally. Small bar with pool tables. And music. It is a bit run down but has potential. They had a sign that said ATM inside. So that was the only reason why I went in. I guess I took everyone off guard when I walked in. I felt like I walked into an old saloon and everyone looked at me when I entered like I was new in town. I just smiled at everyone as I walked by and went to the ATM. I made sure I check the ATM. I just needed a little cash. Maybe next time I'll stay and have a drink. It is hidden part of downtown. Dark inside. Doesn't look very inviting from the curb. Needs some love. read more

I'm only knocking down a star because, as a woman, I was harassed at this bar two times in a single visit. Sad, because that was only my last time coming here and it was because I was in the company of all females, whereas previously, I had my boyfriend with me. Whatever, patrons are dicks, but a tallboy and whiskey will only set you back 4.50, and that nice old woman behind the bar even came by to check on us. Open, empty and always playing the latest sports? This bar is perfect for me to just sit and hang at all night. read more

Awesome. This is our dive bar hangout downtown. Cash only so you know its good! A wide selection of interesting people at any given time. They have two pool tables, a dart board ($0.75 a player....booo!) and a touchtunes jukebox. Good people watching on the inside and out. frequented by bar and kitchen staff from the area. We love this place. read more

This is for sure a dive bar, so please, if you're looking for something trendy or hipster like, dont bother. My BF and I have a love for Dives. No pretensious A-holes, no groups of broads stinkin up the place with crappy attitudes and no rediculous beer / liquor prices. We found this place while waiting for The Texan to open. I'm assuming the bartender that day was the owner. She was super friendly and very informative about the going-on's in San Antonio. We were out of towners and she was a great help. Made us feel right at home. The place it self is reminicent of a pool hall. Banquet table seatng and 1 or 2 pool tables. A great juke box that we put to use. We went durring fiesta so the place was decorated for the occasion. Everyone in there seemed to be a reqular and basically paid no attention to us, lol. We have a few cups (not glasses, since they serve thier beer in the 16oz clear plastic cups, not sure if it is beause o the fiesta crowd that I'm sure was to come in later) of Dox XX, running us 3.00 a pop. All in all, a great place to come to if you just want to hang, have a few drinks not have to bother with the crowd. If we're ever back in San Antonio, we'll definitely be back. read more

Texas T Pub - Dos XX and Michelada - Dive Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First, and most importantly, Adella is everything that's good about bartending. We stumbled into this sweet dive bar and are SO glad we did! Laid back, homey and fun! In the middle of tourist trap downtown, Texas T Pub is a GEM with better service than all of their neighbors--and the prices can't be beat. Can't wait to come back! read more

This bar is old (the owner told me this bar had been there for about 25 years) but I love that kind of vintage-taste atmosphere. It seems to be mainly for local people, but the owner and customers were very friendly and the owner treated a few glasses of beer although maybe because I am a foreigner (Japanese) and the owner was a little drunk. A can of the Lone Star (local beer) was only $2. read more

A great place to slam back mad $2 Lone Stars and #LSLs. If you are a fan of dive bars that will never be popular because they are massively flawed, then Texas T Pub is the place for you. There is one bartender, a kind older lady and owner who often takes forever with the drinks. But she's so sweet, it doesn't matter. Great place to escape from the 'trendy' bars (mixology or curated dive experience). Just some pure San Antonio (even the dark side). They have a TouchTunes jukebox and plenty of TVs. Yes, you are more than likely to get depressed by some of the clientele, but in a way, you can lose yourself in the masses of people drinking to forget. 0% pretension at this downtown gem. read more

Stumbled in here on a whim. Bartender was welcoming and made me feel at home. Drinks are cheap and they've got a heavy hand.

What a great staple bar in downtown San Antonio. These folks have been here since the 80's, and their commitment still shows.

Young clique-ish crowd. Patrons ARE dicks. Not intentionally, but bike riding, hipster snobs with low wage jobs who don't know better. Which is not a bad thing. Just be prepared to be ignored by the "Plastics" who already have their tables. Like high school. 5 stars because why not? I still grab a shot and run sometimes. read more

Nice place. Good service, selection, booze and occasionally street parking is available. Has a vending machine for food and a decent jukebox. A place to put a bicycle too. read more

If you visit San Antonio stop in to the Texas T Pub. This is where you can take a break from the flashy tourist stuff. Adela the matriarch and deep-tracks Rick provide old fashioned hospitality that is seldom seen anymore. The juke box rocks and with a few cold Lone Star and good conversation the night will go quickly. I visited from Tampa for 4 nights in downtown and 2 nights I ended up at the T. Good, friendly folk and I will miss 'em. Hope to return to San Antonio one day. read more

Great little dive, cheap prices, juke box, plenty of bar sports (pool, darts, etc). Nothing fancy, but comfortable and fun. if you're looking for shitz and glitz, not the place. But if you already have good company and are looking to chill, you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is definitely a dive, but it's great! It appears to be a local hangout, not tourist-y. I think my companion and I were the only out-of-towners there. The staff was friendly, the Lone Star was cheap, the air conditioning was cold, and the bathrooms were clean. Perfect little place to stop in on a hot summer afternoon. read more

THE DEFINITION OF A DIVE BAR. Which I absolutely love and seek out. Two pool tables, one dollar each. Zeigen on draft for $8 per pitcher. Super close to downtown. A little shady but super fun. read more

Not the greatest. There is a weird smell right when you walk in the door. We were suckered in by the high yelp rating but I would give this one a hard pass. read more

Bravo! A true gem walking distance from the Alamo/Riverwalk. $2 Lonestar Tallboys and $2.50 wells. The owner was there and was very nice, explaining some of the bars history. Will be my go to any time I'm back in that area. read more

This place is awesome. I am not from here and was treated as a regular. No credit cards, a true off the beaten path place.

This is, without a doubt, the worst bar I have ever been to. It's worth visiting this place if you're feeling sorry for yourself, because all you have to do is tell yourself, "Hey, at least I'm not the washed up Marine who loves to talk too loudly about how great Pink Floyd is" or "At least I'm not the bartender who wears faded golf shirts and says 'fuck' a whole lot" or "Hey, at least I'm not the 60-year old female owner who tucked her dress into her panties when she left the restroom because she was too drunk to realize it." Seriously. I only ended up here because I was in San Antonio waiting for my friend to arrive and finally found parking and didn't want to venture too far. My God. This place is fucked. I can't even believe they stay in business. Oh, they only take cash and their ATM machine will tack on a $3.50 fee. Whatever. read more

What more could you ask for in a Dive bar?? My grandpa took my dad here when he was about 11 years old. My dad took me here when I was 12(no not bad parenting at all so suck it). Ever since that first time I've always loved coming here. You get treated with respect, you don't ever have to look over your back for a fight, and the beers are always cold. If you're looking for a place to just kick back, enjoy a drama free night, and only have a couple bucks then this is definitely the place to come. The drinks are cheap and the times are great. read more
