    Screen shot of their withdrawal from my bank account
    Jessica R.

    Went to the Rock Box live on Thursday, May 30th and bought a $3 Sprite for my son. I left a $2 tip and the bartender claims to have accidentally scrolled down in error making their POS system changed my $2 tip to $2903.15. . It's been 7 days and they still have not returned my money or helped me. They keep claiming that they didn't withdraw the money from my account but thats not what my bank account says. I am a teacher and a single mom with no money thanks to a Rock Box Live employee. Be careful and pay cash only!!!!

    Don't let the name fool you... formally 210 Kapone's (aka The Hot Box as I called it. It's so funny that they changed the name to the Rock Box, lol, it will always be the "Hot Box' to me!)... Just look at their reviews and you will see what I'm talking about... same owners... https://www.yelp.com/biz/210-kapones-san-antonio?ylist=EFc1RKlt9F_QnInf1I9T0w I have heard that they have not been opening the huge warehouse room next door with no A/C since all the bad reviews and outrage of several concerts held there, so maybe The Rock Box won't get as many bad reviews as Kapone's did for some messed up shows. I also think the promoters heard the Yelpers loud and clear. I went back reluctantly recently... to see some friends play... While I was there, I heard that they just finished installing A/C in the warehouse room next door so they will be bringing large shows back... a year and half later... Yeeppe!!! ~NOT~ why do we need another warehouse for club gigs in this town? ... 1/2 block away is Alamo City Music Hall aka Backstage Live. I was not able to get a straight answer on occupancy rate for this club. Everyone working there should know that number. I also couldn't find an occupancy certificate by the front door. This scares me. I hear they have crammed in over 3K for a show recently... and I couldn't get if that was just in the main room, which I think the he said, or if included the large warehouse room next door. Tobin holds 1750. Majestic holds 2200 (I think). Aztec 1500 (maybe). Alamo City Music Hall 1K (if I remember right.) I'm not exact on these numbers but close. I don't see the main room being bigger than ACMH, and I can not imagine that size of crowd jammed into that space GA/SRO. Oh the horror... and the heat! Parking is not easy. $10 seems to be the usual. There is a little area on the side of the venue. Spaghetti Warehouse across the street is now used for parking. There is a lot on the corner across the street... then some around ACMH... and if you are lucky, maybe you can find some street parking. I don't feel all that safe down in that area so I don't like going down there... and I don't like paying $10 for parking. Wish y'all would take pity on the single ladies and offer free parking for us that go out alone. There were a few bar tables available the last night that I went... as well as VIP seating for an extra charge. Although I do appreciate the promoters booking bands, I will continue to avoid the warehouse clubs as much as I possibly can.

    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!

    This was my first time going to Maeve, but I will definitely be going back. We were having a…read moreChristmas party and at the last minute had to change venues, but the staff handled it wonderfully. The inside/outside feature of Maeve made it perfect and the weather was amazing. We were able to set up and decorate with plenty of time before our party started and the venue complimented the decorations perfectly. The staff that worked our party were quick, efficient, and friendly. Overall, the party was a success and everyone had a great time. I look forward to my next outing at Maeve!

    My wife and I went to The Modernist after seeing it on social media. There wasn't a drink menu, and…read morewe were told the idea is that you tell the bartender what you like and they make something for you. Her first drink was a lavender-style cocktail and was fine. For her second drink, she told the bartender to surprise her. He gave her a look and asked more than once if she was sure she wanted him to surprise her. Instead of making her an actual cocktail, he poured her what seemed to be a straight, extremely bitter liqueur. The whole interaction felt sarcastic and like he was intentionally messing with her rather than trying to make her something she would enjoy. What bothered me most was the attitude behind it. We weren't being rude, demanding, or causing problems. We were there to have a good time and experience the whole "tell us what you like and we'll make you something" concept. I did call the number listed for the business afterward trying to speak to someone about it. The person who answered said I had the wrong number and didn't know what I was talking about. I got angry during that call and said some things I shouldn't have, and I can admit that. But that doesn't change how disappointing the experience at the bar was. We expected a creative and welcoming experience and instead left feeling like my wife had been mocked. I hope management sees this and addresses it, because the concept of the place is great, but the way we were treated completely ruined it for us
