I really liked the place. It was very laid back and comfortable with a bit of a dive bar atmosphere. The seating included sofa areas, small table, and larger tables. It was not brightly lit, and the music was nice. We went to the counter to place our orders. They had sandwiches already made in an icebox. When ordered, the guy put them in a waffle iron before serving. I had the Cubano, and let me tell you- it was the best one I have ever had. It was so crispy and delicious. My only comment is that it could have used a bit more mustard. I also had an iced Americano with Como La Flor syrup. That was a blend of lavender and blueberry and was house-made. It sounded awesome and delivered awesomeness in every sip. I will definitely be back. I have to try the waffle pressed peanut butter and jelly!

It's a fun place even from the outside! They have coffee, beer, and wine. The barista was friendly and answered our questions. I did a nitro brew with their homemade Mexican vanilla syrup. I do not like sweet coffee and told the barista that. She said they do 1.5 oz of syrup. Which is a lot for my liking. I asked her to put .5 an oz only and it was perfect! They have events here too. Tandem is a place I would put in my rotation!

They were not busy and perhaps we should have said something but it took them 30 minutes and 2 different people to finally get our 2 drinks.

This bar looks like it can be good but get better employees. If people sit at the bar they want to talk if they sit away from bar let them be. Serve the drinks and go away.

I love the vibes here on Thursdays so let me share a few pointers:…read more -Parking: if you arrive at a decent time before most people you can park in their lot but I don't recommend it because once it gets packed you will probably get blocked in AND it gets super dusty -Food: there is a food truck inside and another outside. I tried the one inside and although it was on the pricier end, the shrimp quesadilla was really good! -Drinks: also can be on the pricier end depending on day. Look at your receipt carefully because they did add 20% gratuity to mine last night. Overall it's a clean and spacious place but once it hits 11ish they will start labeling and adding more tables for sections (booo!) so it gets more crowded. The DJs are so good too. Bathrooms are typically clean. Funny reminder: come ready with bug spray because them TX mosquitoes were OUT!

It's a classic hole in the wall but it gives a homie not aggressive spot, if that makes any sense. The parking situation is not the greatest as you will have to park along the street 80% of the time lol but nevertheless it's a vibe. There's a cool outside area that has two food trucks and plenty of seating as inside is mainly for standing. The service there was good I had been asked if I needed help which was shocking as most places do not care until you go up to the bar.

Whichever exit we took off the river walk, we would check out the first bar we saw. As fate would have it, we found ourselves walking into Bond's. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the smell of fresh popcorn and a welcoming ambiance from both the patrons and staff. The pool tables, extremely amazing daily happy hour, and chamoy shots confirmed my suspicion - this is hands down - the best place in San Antonio.

Lots of free Parking and golf carts to help get you to the theatre…read moreLots of restrooms and upgraded out houses This historic theatre was well worth the visit before its renovation Open and beautiful. Like older theatres, it's bumpy if you try to come in a wheelchair and it's not very accessible to even those with walking limitations The seats are nice and spacious for your legs Stage is not very big, poor musicians looked crammed in They have done their best to update Would return but being outside, weather is a def factor to be aware of Btw they do bag checks even tho I read online there was no bag restriction

Sunken Gardens Theater is one my favorite music venue ever!…read more I give 5 stars to SGT for what it used to be and for what it can be again. I just hope and pray that the City of San Antonio and Brackenridge Park Conservancy (plus maybe the Tobin Center/Tobin Foundation) can restore this theater to be the best venue for it's size in the state... ... and that we can find the promoters that will have respect the bands and their fans to book their concerts here instead of free space in warehouse which is horrible waste for us all! Honestly, I haven't been to Sunken Gardens in probably a decade due to the fact that no bands that I really want to see are being booked here... and I heard last night that it has been 5 years since SGT last hosted a rock concert. Hats off to Twin Productions & Paragon Presents for bringing Primus Fri 20 Oct 2017... a 5 star show! The security line went quick, plenty of port-a-potties so no need for long lines in the regular potties, with a great selections of beers and food trucks. Just as Tina said in her review, "Those were the days!" when KISS and KZEP radio stations would sponsor the shows. We also had promoters like Stone City Attractions aka Jack Orbin and Lone Star Attractions aka Bill Lee that knew the music SA liked and how to make a kick ass show happen. Bill Drain and Greg Wilson are two others great promoters in SA that I have to give a shout out as well... which all have retired. Sunken Gardens Theater is not to be confused with Japanese Tea Gardens which is next door... as I am seeing way too many pics as well as reviews of JTG on this page... you can find the page for JTG here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/japanese-tea-gardens-san-antonio History http://www.sanantonio.gov/ParksAndRec/Parks-Facilities/All-Parks-Facilities/Parks-Facilities-Details/ArtMID/14820/ArticleID/2913/Sunken-Garden-Theater "The City of San Antonio leased its hard rock quarry in what is today Brackenridge Park from the middle 19th to early 20th centuries. Alamo Roman and Portland Cement Company, later called Alamo Cement Company, used the quarry from 1880 until 1908 when it moved to a new facility with rail access north of the City limits. The abandoned quarry was adjacent to Brackenridge Park that had been donated to the City in 1899, and to a tract owned by the Koehler Family [Pearl Brewery] that was donated to the City for park land in 1915. As early as 1914, the city's cultural leaders and park officials began to discuss new uses for the abandoned quarry. Some saw the unique, natural setting of the quarry's deep excavations shaped in a huge semicircle as the backdrop for an open-air Greek amphitheater. Observing the site, the manager of the Boston National Grand Opera Company urged the city to consider such a facility, saying that, "It could be made one of the show places in the country." It was Ray Lambert, appointed Parks Commissioner in 1915, who transformed the City's old quarry into a civic attraction. On the northern portion of the site where the Cement Company's kilns had been located, Lambert built a lushly landscaped lily pond that he named the Japanese Garden. Newspapers as early as 1926 refer to the area as "the sunken garden." The natural acoustic features of the quarry drew local performers to the site, and in 1926, the Chaminade Choral Society's president, Mrs. Eli Hertzberg, urged that the area be considered for outdoor musical and other events too large for the Municipal Auditorium. In late 1927, Mrs. Hertzberg suggested that such a theater be named the Tobin Memorial Amphitheater to honor Mayor John W. Tobin who had recently died while in office. Mrs. Hertzberg estimated that an outdoor amphitheater at this location could seat 50,000 to 60,000 people. [I have the same dream 90 years later!] The Sunken Garden Theater facility as it appears today was completed in 1937 as part of the Texas Centennial celebration. Renovation and additions at that time included dressing rooms, stage improvements, and a concrete floor for the theater seating area. A bronze plaque installed on the east wing wall read, "1836-1936. Sunken Garden Theatre, a memorial to the Heroes of the Texas Revolution.""
