    Kurobuta Pork Burger
    Melinda N.

    Ordered the Kurobuta pork burger which was tasty. The blueberry jam was interesting. Service was great. I liked that you can pay separately. Ambiance is what you would expect in a sports bar

    Garlic Beef Noodles

    Lobster garlic noodles were the best! Worth the price. Service was great and we went for lunch during the week so it wasn't too busy!

    Wasn't hungry, but those shortage Shiitake Garlic Noodles are hitting right

    Came here after checking out the Riverwalk cruise which launches from below because it was kinda late and the restaurants were closed and my niece what starving. We came in and they were able to seat us easily. I got chicken wings and she got noodles. Nothing was stellar, but it was fine. I feel like this place is more fun with your friends than your teenage niece, because everyone else, from groups of businessmen to fiend groups seemed to be having a blast, while the two of us were just staring at each other. I've been to a Yard House before and if you've been to one, you've b even to them all and you. Know the decor is clean, dark, and fancy. Corporate clean is how I'd describe it.

    I normally don't visit chains while travelling, but I was pretty impressed with this Yard House location. The portions were great, the food was great and the service was also on point for our large group. They had a lavender cocktail that was also pretty good.

    Stopping here to eat!

    We were in town for Foursquare Connect 2026 and ended up eating here twice. The first visit was for dinner, and I ordered the burger. It was really good--juicy, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. The only downside was that it took about 30 minutes for our food to arrive, and we were seated right next to the bar during a Spurs game. Let's just say my wife and I learned to communicate through lip reading and interpretive gestures because we couldn't hear each other over the crowd! Our second visit was for lunch, and my wife and I split a sandwich, which was also very good. What really stood out this time was our server. She was outstanding--friendly, attentive, cheerful, and on top of everything we needed. Great service always makes a meal even better, and she absolutely delivered. Overall, we had a good experience both times. The food was solid, the service on our second visit was excellent, and we'd definitely come back. Just one suggestion: if it's game day and you're hoping for a quiet conversation, ask to sit away from the bar...unless, of course, you enjoy shouting sweet nothings across the table!

    Salmon

    I came to San Antonio for a conference and stayed at a hotel conveniently located next to the Yard House, which is why I decided to have dinner there on my first night. It was very convenient after a long travel day. Since it was a Saturday night, the restaurant was quite crowded. As I was dining alone, I opted to sit at the bar to avoid the wait and I'm glad I did. My meal was excellent; the salmon was especially delicious and cooked perfectly. The bar attendant was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made the experience feel very welcoming. Overall, I was genuinely impressed by this location. The LA franchises could definitely learn from the level of service and hospitality here.

    Shiitake Garlic Noodles
    Jennifer H.

    visited the Yard House last month during March Madness. It was located across the street from my hotel so that a huge plus. I did not want to have to deal with an uber. The Riverwalk was to packed with tourists. I sat at the bar as i wanted to watch March Madness. The guests I was seated next to were nice enough to let me change the channel to see basketball game I wanted to see so that was a plus. The music playing was great upbeat classic rock. The entrance to the restaurant is one floor up from the street on Commerce. Maddy was very pleasant and provided service with a smile. She was very attentive to all customers. I ordered the garlic shiitake noodles and crispy Brussels sprouts along with a tall double captain and Coke Zero. Everything was great. Before a concert I wanted something that wouldn't mess with my sensitive stomach. I enjoyed my experience so much that I returned the following day and ordered the exact same thing. Enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

    Stopped by Yard House and had a really solid experience. They have a long list of vegetarian options. The Gardein menu can be found online or ask waiters and they have it on their device. I tried the Gardein Orange Chicken along with their pretzel, and both were seriously good. The orange chicken had great flavor with just the right amount of sweetness and kick, and the pretzel was warm, soft, and perfect for sharing. Service was attentive, the atmosphere was lively, and everything came out just right. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Stopped by while in town visiting and met up with my wife's cousins at yard house for a quick bite. It was pretty packed but was able to get a table for all of us. I ordered the chicken tacos and rice and beans which was pretty good and filling. I also had an IPA flight that was pretty darn good. The service was fast given the amount of people we had in our group and the restaurant was packed also. I'll come back the next time I'm in town.

    Chicken Lettuce Wraps
    Kirra A.

    Yard House has the BEST happy hour. Monday-Friday 3-6PM all the appetizers are half off and this is such a great deal. All of their appetizers are so good, I love getting the lettuce wraps but we got a variety of apps for the table and we shared all of them. They also offer half off pizzas during their happy hour as well. Definitely come check out their happy hour if you're looking for some delicious food that isn't expensive!

    Blackened Ahi Sashimi
    G T.

    Cold beer. Friendly staff. Appetizers were delicious. Place was packed. Ordered the edamame flavor was good a little under cooked. Ahi tuna was great. Sliders and truffle fries were the best.

    chicken-avocade sandwich and fries
    Timmy S.

    Tired and hungry, we decided to have dinner across the street from our hotel at YardHouse at the Shops at Rivercenter. I hadn't been to a YardHouse for years and wasn't expecting much, so I ended up being pleasantly surprised. It was a weekday evening and we were immediately seated even though, to my eye, it seemed pretty busy. Our waiter was amiable and semi-attentive (meaning right when we would start to think "where is he?" he'd suddenly appear). I ordered a chicken-avocado sandwich and my wife ordered the Two Pepper Jack Burger. I got regular fries with my order and she upgraded to sweet potato fries. Her burger consisted of a thick beefy patty, roasted jalapeño & poblano peppers, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle ranch. My sandwich consisted of a hunk of grilled chicken with a cumin & chili rub, avocado, Swiss cheese, roasted tomatoes, arugula, and lemon-basil aioli on a toasted brioche bun. We decided to cut our sandwiches in half and share. The chicken sandwich was exceptional. The flavors burst in my mouth. One of the better chicken sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure to consume. The burger was also excellent, thick, tender, and juicy. While she thought the heat was minimal it made my eyes water...but I can barely handle even a tiny bit of heat. Still, I thought it was undeniably delicious. Our fries were also great, as was the sweet tea I ordered. As mentioned, I left with a smile on my face and a very happy tummy.

    Shiitake Garlic Noodles
    Nancy M.

    One of our go-to dinner spots downtown! We love that we usually don't have to wait long for a table, which is always a plus. The drinks are consistently ice cold, and the cocktails definitely pack a punch. The garlic noodles are an absolute must every time--we never skip them. My husband always gravitates toward the fish and chips, which never disappoints. On this visit, I decided to try the calamari and... yum! Definitely adding that to my list of favorites. Always a solid choice for a great, reliable dinner downtown.

    Do you do reserved areas for parties of 50-75?

    I'm not sure for parties that large but, they do have an area that may accommodate you. I would just give them a call. The customer service was great!

    I'm still trying to find a place that my 22 mo son can eat at. We're vegetarian, no alliums (onion and garlic family), no peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, eggs, avocado and kiwi. Can he eat anything here that isn't plain rice or a piece of lettuce?

    Do you take reservations?

    Hey Janet! We don't take reservations. You can always call to see if we have our wait list available. Here's the number: (210) 354-3844

    What time do they stop serving food?

    Hey Lily! Sunday - Thursday our food last call is 12:30AM. Friday and Saturday it is 1AM.

    What is the parking situation? Parking lot? Parking garage? Is it in a mall?

    It's right outsize the big shopping center. Free parking is probably a no go but there is a parking garage next door. Although, it is right by the river walk, so park anywhere close by and enjoy the scene

    How late do they serve food?

    12:30 AM weekdays and 1 AM weekends

    Recently we hosted our Morrissey After Party at Bang Bang Bar, following the former Smiths…read morefrontman's sold-out January 10th performance at the Boeing Center at Tech Port and honestly, we couldn't have written a better script. Morrissey hadn't graced San Antonio in over 10 years, with past cancellations and postponements haunting fans along the way. So when he finally returned, San Antonio Moz fans showed up and showed out. Despite multiple after-party options across the city, fans from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Japan, and all across the U.S. chose Bang Bang Bar as the place to be on a cold Saturday night. Hosted by local emcee Ricardo Moz and Apollo DJ, the night turned into one for the history books. Bang Bang Bar is easily one of Texas' best dive-lounge bars...the perfect blend of gritty and cozy. Great cocktail program, solid beer selection, and a vibe that just works. The décor leans heavy into a 1950s-60s lounge aesthetic, with intimate spaces like the Blue Room and Yellow Room, perfect for groups of 7-10. Low lighting, warm atmosphere, and zero pretension exactly what you want for a night like this. Bang Bang Bar consistently supports local and touring acts, spanning punk, alternative, and DJ-driven nights, and this Moz Smiths Disco was no exception. It was wall-to-wall classics all night long. Major credit to Phanie and the Bang Bang Bar management they rolled up their sleeves, brought in extra bar staff, and handled an overwhelming crowd like pros. Fans waited up to 45 minutes in the cold, with a line wrapping around the building, and the energy inside never dipped. As the host of Panic On The Streets, I'm incredibly thankful to Bang Bang Bar for helping us pull off one of the best after-parties we've done in years. Fittingly, 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of both Bang Bang Bar and Panic On The Streets of San Antonio and what a way to celebrate. Bang Bang Bar has long been one of my favorite bars in town, and after this night, that reputation is more than earned. Can't wait to do another Moz Smiths Disco here. -- Panic On The Streets of San Antonio

I also enjoy how each couch area is its own living room setup (think of what you see when shopping for couches/coffee tables) and feel/vibe. I make it a point to come and visit this bar any time I'm in San Antonio. We love supporting Phanie and her bands in any way possible. Girl in a Coma and FEA 4ever!

    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.)

The only…read morething to keep in mind is that you have to order at the designated lines at the bar, which helps keep things moving once you get the hang of it. Their Steak Friday specials are excellent, and I'm pretty sure the steaks are cooked sous vide, which makes them consistently tender. The oysters are also a standout at $1.50 during happy hour. It can get a little loud when the place fills up, but overall it's a very comfortable spot to enjoy drinks. They validate two hours of parking at the Rand Garage behind the bar, but be aware that the validation is exactly two hours.

We asked for someone to clean a table for our party and waited quite a while before anyone came over. My party even asked if we could just clean it ourselves. When a staff member finally came over, she didn't seem happy about having to do it. She didn't greet us or say a word. She quickly sprayed the table, wiped it down, and flopped the food around with the rag instead of actually cleaning it. She didn't bother to pick up or sweep the food and crumbs off the floor either. I had already ordered food and drinks for my party, expecting the table would be cleaned quickly. We ordered two alcoholic drinks and two soda-based drinks, but the sodas were flat. The food came out one plate at a time, with the quicker dishes served first while the rest of our party waited. We didn't want to start eating until everyone had their food. Food was decent. We had an event to attend at the Majestic and didn't have enough time to go somewhere else, so we stayed. We've eaten here several times before and always had good service, which is why we chose to come back. I haven't been to a restaurant in a long time where the staff dragged their feet this much just clearing tables for the next guests. You're in a busy downtown area with venues and events nearby bringing in customers. Keeping tables clean and turning them over promptly should be a priority. This visit was a huge disappointment, and we won't be back.
