I came here yesterday. My fiance was getting a soak at Lavender Falls in the same shopping area. Instead just waiting in the car, I decided to try this bar. I was greeted pretty soon after I took a seat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and asked if I wanted a food menu. I declined because I already had dinner plans that involved eating the left over ribs that I made for a party the night before. I grossly overestimated how much people would eat. I plan on trying their food another day I ordered a Blue Moon which the bartender did put a orange slice on as it is traditionally served. As I was getting close to finishing my beer, the bartender asked if I wanted another one so I would say the bartender was attentive. I ordered one more and decided to close out. The bill was pretty reasonable for two beers and only came to about 10 dollars maybe closer to 11. I would say this bar has a Dive Bar feel to it. It is very dark inside and I was kind of surprises how bright it was when I walked out. They do have outdoor seating that I might try another time. I recommend this place if you want a cheap drink. read more

I made a stop there to visit friends. I ordered the Chicken Wrap. Mmmm it was so delicious. Well seasoned. Plus I had a coke a cola large size. The place has multiple TV's for viewing of sports Games plus a Pool table is available if you play Billiards. It's a casual comfortable sports bar. read more

This place was awesome. Great service and everything. Then they got rid of their karaoke and now I can't go back. No bueno

Was really disappointed by this visit. I just moved into the neighborhood and had my eye on this bar for a minute. I thought it could end up being my Go-To bar, which I'm itching to find- having left behind a really nice bar in my old neighborhood. So finally, we strolled in on my birthday. We loved all the Halloween decorations and decided to take a lap before choosing a table. We bumped into the waitress who asked if we needed help. Told her we'd never been in before and wanted to take a look around. She was friendly and said we could sit anywhere we like. We choose a table next to the bar and waited for her or anyone to circle back to us. After 15 mins, no one did. I was FULLY prepared to have some drinks, shots, and my boyfriend was gonna order some food. We grew more and more impatient and decided that after over 20 mins they really didn't deserve our business, and walked out. I've seen other reviews of anyone who's pretty much not a regular, coming in and receiving NO service. Well my visit definitely proved this to be true. read more

Thania and Mallory are the shitttttt, they are the best bartenders in San Antonio. They make you feel like home and feel welcome. The ambiance of the place is like no other, and they create that with the job they preform the best. 100% the best bartenders in San Antonio. Everyone should come here to experience there amazingness. read more

I recently enjoyed my birthday celebration there. Danny and his bartenders on staff were killing it with the service. It's your typical neighborhood bar where the men to women ratio is pretty outnumbered. Nonetheless my girlfriends and I have enjoyed the quaint and relaxed environment. You can 100% tell who the regulars are. Their loaded fries are my favorite food item if you need a buffer for the alcohol. read more

Went to go watch the Longhorns game. No one came to the table so my husband went up to the bar since there was only one bartender so we figured she was busy. She ignored him. She looked at him didn't talk to him. He walked away and she right away helped the people that were sitting there. She was hanging out with her friends and screaming across the bar. read more

We stopped at this new spot in our neighborhood to watch some football games and have a few- the drinks were good, the service was ok (nothing that stood out but nothing bad either), and the place was dimly lit. Wouldn't mind going back to try it again. read more

Their wings are delicious. We have ordered to go meals twice and the food was ready on time!

Teal shorts Bartender was rude about tips and was calling out customers which was weird and inappropriate! Handle your alcohol! Will never come back as a first time guest it was not about me but she made it a point to speak in Spanish out loud not knowing we all understand!! read more

This bar is a great neighborhood hang out! Not sure if Beverly is still there but stay away on days when Darrian works! Every time we've been waited on by her she's RUDE! Entirely too consumed with putting on her, make up in her face, rather than taking care of her customers absolutely unprofessional! You would think when the doorbell chimes she would put her make up down to wait on her customers, but that's absolutely not the case. Somebody needs to have a serious conversation with her about professionalism and respect for her clientele.! This review according to yelp is epic so not that case! read more

Latest brunch spot to take the cake for me. Build your own omelette station, $3 BUILD YOUR OWN, bloody mary station with a large assortment of things to decorate your bloody mary with. The bartenders are very good at making drinks and funny/full of spirit. The art and deco of the restyling of this former hangar location gives a hipster feel, but also art deco bar. I really enjoy the beers available, more cans than draft, but the selection is VAST! The music on brunch days is loud and wakes you up with the delicious food and drinks. I heard Juvenile back that A** up and knew this place wasn't the normal brunch place, but wayyyy cooler! read more

Came in and I was hanging out at the bar being cool with the bartender. Then out of of nowhere- about 2 hours later- some lady comes out and tells me something about Something and apparently being too loud. She told me to pay the tab and I couldn't get another drink anymore- her name was Daniele. I just think their racist because I'm Hispanic. Any one else experience this at this bar? read more

Terrible service! Got thrown out after having the worst service ever. It was busy due to St. Patty's Day which was understandable. Everyone was having a great time-- our bartender was drunk, very drunk, and was being rude to a lot of the customers which we found pretty amusing and perhaps so did the other customers. We ordered pickle back shots for 4 of us and a beer. Later, my boyfriend ordered 4 shots of Jameson and the bartender started tumbling it with ice and something else. My bf told her that's not what he wanted and she told him that she doesn't take criticism and basically said too bad. The shots came out light colored and when my bf mentioned that they might be watered down she grabbed some ice from the mat on the table and threw them in our drinks and then called him a "bitch" and walked away. I don't understand how this place can hire people who not only get drunk on the job but would blatantly call their customers names. I told my bf we are not paying for those nasty drinks with dirty ice and asked another bartender to close out our tab and to not include those shots because they were disgusting. We were understandably upset and for whatever reason this new bartender that just came on shift was also upset. We had tipped a few bills at the bar during our first round and then some man with a green wig outside for what we thought was for the crawfish. Anyway, when we got our tab I told my bf not to tip because: 1) our bartender was unprofessional and rude 2) we didn't even drink the second round 3) we had already tipped IN CASH the first round as well as for the crawfish The new bartender started to hound on my bf for not tipping and when he explained that he did before the whole ice situation, she basically called him a liar and even stated that there was no man with a green wig, that it must be the molly talking (WTF????) and then told us to get out of our seats so that other customers can sit. At that point I had had enough and told her that we were pissed off about what the last bartender did to our drinks and the bartender started yelling over me telling me it was an accident and I had to yell over her and say no, it wasn't-- it was malicious and purposeful and that they needed to train their bartenders better. We were getting ready to leave but then she made her way to escort us out which made me absolutely livid and I had a few choice words for her. If you want terrible service with nasty bartenders that have deplorable manners then feel free to come, otherwise stay away. read more

The Hollow - a tray of cooked shrimp and potatoes - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Got to the bar at 11:45pm, the female bartender was beyond drunk. Ordered shots, she tried giving them to other people and then was asking around - "who ordered the shots?" Gave us our beers & shots then went around the bar to make out and dance on some guy. Whoreable. read more

I randomly popped in for an after work drink. Never been here before. Both of the Womens bathroom stalls do not lock. The place is crawling with men. I saw two other women aside from the bartenders working. Not safe or welcoming to women. Seems like a good place to get date r*ped in the bathroom. Bad vibes. read more

The Hollow - Cosmo !!!! Yummy good !! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Awesome neighborhood bar. Amazing staff, service and food. Best place for a weekday HH or any sports event. We'll be back!

Just left the hollow. Was satisfied with the service until I got my bill back and I was charged for a round of shots that I did NOT order. My total was about $75 and I tipped almost $50 dollars. Then the bartenders came up to me and complained about my lack of tipping. I gave more than a 50% tip and regret it. I was yelled at for no reason, being accused of only tipping $3. Will not be returning. Also the jukebox is a scam read more

Awesome bartenders! They take care of you here. John makes awesome wings! Great music on Thursdays with a DJ.

Another exceptional Monday at the hollow. Beverly busting her ass to make each and everyone of us feel welcome and more importantly served promptly with a smile and a snort. Great music great drinks and she even makes the warden feel welcome. read more

This is my "5 minutes away from home" bar and I always have a good time. It's never too busy during the week, they have two dart machines and a pool table, there are several televisions for sports games, and the service is decent. They also have a snack machine inside if you get the munchies after the kitchen closes at 11:00 pm. I do wish the customers could control the music sometimes. Every time I've been, somebody has their iPod connected. Overall though, a solid bar with a small patio. read more

Went there the Conor/Mayweather fight with some friends that had been before. It did not disappoint. The staff know customer service. As packed as it was I still was able to get to the bar and get reasonably priced cocktails in a timely fashion. I'm happy I don't live close to this place because I'd be there too much. I will be back. read more

dirty , smelly, looks like it. Has never been cleaned - bathrooms are unusable - does anyone know how to clean in this bar - no thanks - I will go to a bar where at least I can use the bathroom read more

Made reservations to watch the World Cup Final, got here this morning & they lost the reservation. I gave the waitress her coworker's number who had called me from to confirm the reservation, she didn't recognize it, I then gave her the business number to confirm I called the right one & she didn't even recognize their own number. She was very rude about the whole thing, I get that if someone else made the mistake it's not her fault but she at least could have been nicer about it. Won't be coming back. read more

The bartenders were really nice, however, it's pretty obvious that something is missing from the establishment whether it's training staff properly on how to make drinks or scheduling enough staff in general for the shift. First off, I ordered a skinny margarita and it was very much so a regular - no biggie honestly. My boyfriend ordered a blue moon which they said they had only to come back 10 mins later saying they were out - again no biggie, he just ordered something else. Here's what was a problem for me. We ordered the fried pickles when I ordered my margarita, so should come out fairly fast, right? I mean they should "technically" be prepared already and just thrown in a deep frier. I'm a server, I get it. Places get busy, cooks get backed up, etc. But it wasn't busy at all, we were here on a Friday afternoon just stopping by for a drink before we had to pick up a friend from the airport. Again, I get it things do happen! But we did leave paying for everything including the fried pickles which were never brought out to us, after reminding the bartenders several times. The only reason for the 2 stars is that the girls serving us were very nice but everything else was terrible. We overheard 2 other groups complaining that they also hadn't received their meals. So if the owner is reading this: do better! Get enough staff, have enough cooks and bartenders for the crowd! And if you can't, get your ass on the floor yourself or your establishment is going to remain 3 stars on google/yelp until you can't stay in business. read more

WARNING!! ONLY FOR THE LOCAL COOL KIDS!...Albeit 40 years old, the regulars and bartenders still remind you, due to their inhibiting hungover conversations, of how cool they still are! If you're lucky, show up early enough to watch the bartenders check their moral compasses! Too cool!! If you were bullied in high school... great place to find your bully! read more

Great bar, good specials and SURPRISINGLY FANTASTIC FOOD. Oh and they have an awesome Aerosmith Pinball machine!

An ok place to grab a drink. Just be advised, they don't have food! Don't come hungry. You will be disappointed.

This is a cool little hole in the wall place. So, if you're looking for something like that I would highly recommend here. Friendly staff and there are also darts. I give this place two thumbs up. read more

I would say this is one of the best neighborhood bars on this part of town. The specials are always on point and the bartenders always attentive read more

So, popped in for a quick beer. Got my beer quickly even though it was Monday night steak night and the bar was slammed. The bar tender was a waitress, bartender and over all bad ass person. Nobody waited. I personally love a sense of urgency and was amazed by the effort set forth. Monday bar tender rocked!! read more
