50 Best Bars near Kirby

“Great bar to relax at, always a laid back atmosphere, decent prices on the drinks. The food is jus regular bar stuff they can throw in the microwave so nothing crazy there but we came for drinks not food lol. It is a smoking bar tho so if you cant handle the tobacco smell dont do it to “

“My favorite my faaaaavorite bartender! Dezi! Gets it! I love to come here on karaoke nights when she’s working. She makes sure I’m safe and she makes the best drinks. If you want a chill environment and a sweet bartender come to Lojax and see my boo“

“I’ve never left a review on a restaurant’s website but I just have to for this one…. I had the best restaurant experience I’ve ever had at Cappy’s! The waiter was knowledgeable and anticipatory - explaining the menu before I had to ask… extremely kind, cordial, and smart… the FOOD WAS SOOO AMAZING, I couldn’t stop smiling the whole night!? Then they come and tell my husband and I that they’re so grateful we came to their restaurant on Friday night because we could have gone anywhere in San Antonio, that they paid for our appetizer - and want to also give us a dessert on the house!? Little did they know… we were from out of town and had just come to San Antonio for our one year anniversary/babymoon trip/my birthday!!! It was so special and the best service I’ve ever received. I feel bad I am leaving this review 6 months later (sorry it’s so late) but obviously I still think of this restaurant and people. Thank y’all for treating us and we will be back because that night is so fond in my memory and because the food, atmosphere, AND service was amazing!“

“Happy hour if we was on point. Nice, and right with beer. Felt like mom and Pop vibe. the service is quick and friendly. Definitely a lot of room to have the whole Familia. If you know what I mean locals laugh out loud. I'm looking forward to having this spot as my new local plug-in for the family that comes out of town and the food is on point.“

“Visiting from out of town we had a wonderful experience at Bar Loretta. It was great to see a local not on the River Walk thrive. The service was top notch from Ray! We loved everything from the cocktails to the appetizers (recommend the quail, shrimp and scallops), burrata beet salad, and entrees (our daughter said the Loretta burger was the best she ever had). Great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!“

“We decided to stop at SipIt after a long day of moving, and Yoli has made this such an awesome and easy experience!! Super caring and absolutely knows what she’s doing! She is so full of energy and that’s what makes this a good experience. Definitely coming back!!“

“Our favorite sandwich shop now! I usually get the Power Plant with jalapeño hummus though all the varieties of sandwich look delicious! Love the toasted taste and the eclectic vibe of this restaurant! This location has a great patio too, so it's great for meeting with your SO and or a friend group. Also love their baked goodies! The folks who work there give awesome service - they're all friendly and very helpful! I first visited the Austin location with my college student then when I saw the sign here in SA I was super excited! And they don't disappoint!! It's truly an awesome shop! Make it your next stop and enjoy it!!“

“I went last night and my husband went today and we loveeeeeee it! The server last night was amazing! She answered all my questions, wasn't irritated that I asked a lot and we thoroughly enjoyed the drink when we got home. Like I said, we have been back in less than 24hours, we are super fans. The drinks are strong, PERFECT to drink at home and do married couple things lol. Highly recommend“

“We've been here for cocktails many times. We bring our friends here when they're visiting from out of town, and they've all been impressed. We love to sit on the patio and people-watch. We visited yesterday and the server was very attentive.“

“Customer service was great. Host was fast to get us seated(party of 2). They only had one bartender so there was a little wait for drinks. Food was okay, would definitely try some thing different next time. The sliders looked great we saw another table order but we were already full. Would try those next possibly.“

“It's like the White Rabbit reincarnated itself, gained a floor and moved to the Riverwalk. Excellent staff. Great acoustics for a life sound and a super fun, walk right up to the stage crowd.Learn To Swim was AMAZING! That is the lead singer Isiah as the Mad Hatter and the fascinating John Zambrano, San Antonio native and local GQ and Event Glitter.“

“Great little spot for awesome drinks! This was our first time here and the bartender was amazing in explaining how they make drinks. We told her what we liked, and she made drinks accordingly.I ordered something like a Paloma and the rest of my group ordered old fashioneds.The drinks were delicious and the service was exceedingly hospitable!Will definitely be returning.“

“Parillada Mixta is beef steak, chicken breast, port chop and jalapeño sausage. Each was the BEST I have had in any restaurant for years. Together an unmissable experience.It's worth the few minutes walk out of the ultra touristy River Walk to a truly exceptional restaurant.“

“I stumbled on this place through an Instagram post (which normally is more hype than substance), but dang this place is great. The burger was perfect, huge, and a great price. I got a side of tots that were cooked to perfection. This is my new favorite burger spot in town. Highly recommend.“

“We had a large group and were well taken care of. They have a great little patio and a cute interior space. Our group got everything from intricate cocktails to canned beer. There was a small menu but we were there for a nightcap. They close relatively early so plan to make it an early spot.“

“One of the best ladies and greatest Places to play games card games have fun. Have a drink have a snack. Look at books open up packs. Listen to some great music you can even have your own room. Also they have improv which is pretty great. The community is very nice everyone there is welcome and See you.“

“I've been a few times now and have never had a bad experience. The parking lot's a little small, so that can be difficult on a busy night, but that's probably my only complaint and even then I'll always recommend stopping here on a night out. The drinks are great, vibes immaculate, and the staff is amazing! I typically get the Molly Ringwald, but have tried many of their cocktails and they're all so good. You can't really go wrong. I also love that they have non-alcoholic options as well, so no one feels left out. On my most recent visit, we got a round of shots and I asked the bartender if she could make one non-alcoholic. No hesitation, absolutely, and our DD was so excited and appreciative to be included for once. It's definitely become one of our go-to spots.“

“My friends wanted to do karaoke so we found Zombies Bar! The horror-themed decorations are great! And there's multiple TV screens playing horror movies and even a section for a couple of arcade games if you're not in the mood for karaoke. The environment is super chill and supportive, as I would normally never sing in front of strangers. My friends and I waited about an hour until it was our turn. It was a lot of fun! Taking off one star because I thought the ladies restroom could've been more clean. And the stall door didn't have a handbag hook.“

“5 stars all around! For the drinks, the vibe, the staff. I love coming here bc it feels like you’ve walked into another time period. It makes me want to dress up - are there themed events yet!? :) the staff and very genuine and good at their craft. They pay attention to people, look at you when ordering, and some of them even recognize me coming in a second or third time. It’s warm and oh-so-inviting! I even brought my mom here and she loved it. I haven’t even mentioned how fab the drinks are. I love whiskey and mezcal and they have the best selection I’ve yet to find in the city.“

“Jaime’s is an oasis in the middle of the live music desert known as San Antonio. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you just walked into a happy, family reunion. It feels like a big hug, a refuge from the anxiety ridden existence so many are living with today.Bringing in acts from the best soul labels on the planet (Colemine and Daptone) is a huge gold star for Jaime and his crew. SA has a really hard time bringing these bands in as they most often play Austin, where the bands are easily selling out. The fact is however, that SA has a thirst for latin, blues and soul and someone is finally focusing on introducing us to these genres.Beer by the bucket and pitchers of draft are a steal and a full bar awaits those who prefer something stronger or fruitier. The food is reasonable and Jaime patrols the entire scene like a happy shark. He manages this venue, from bar backing to finding parking spots. He runs a tight ship and it really shows.I can’t think of any place in SA I would rather see a show. Bring your own folding chairs if you like, or come early and grab a seat close to the stage.The only thing I could ask for is that they put out multiple water stations, away from the outside ordering area.Love the Blues and Soul fest and can’t wait to see y’all in a week or so for The Altons and Thee Sinseers!“

“Nice brunch venue. I went to attend a Sunday morning workout from Camp Gladiator, followed by brunch.After the workout, I ordered off the shareable portion of the menu. I ordered the cornbread, brussel sprouts, a side of bacon, and the breakfast old fashion.The cornbread came in a small cast-iron skillet. To me, it was enough to share with one other person. It served with "jalapeño butter" - chopped (possibly pickled) jalapeño mixed with soft butter. I've never had that, but I know I'm going to look for and request it when dining out. The brussel sprouts were flash fried, which I prefer over oven roasted. Very crispy. It was the best tasting brussel sprouts I've had since I can recall. It was paired with a garlic aioli. The "side" of bacon was larger than expected, five or six pieces. It was well done, but not crispy. Very good. The breakfast old fashion was excellent! As much as I wanted to order another one, or two, I was driving. So I relegated myself to only one.Overall, the staff were nice enough. Nothing over the top as far as service goes. I requested an item, but the young lady working at our table must have forgotten. After some time waiting, I got up and asked someone else.I will most likely return again. Truth be told, it'll most likely be if/when they pair up with Camp Gladiator again.“

“On a nice day it's a vibe, love food trucks and they have a bar so you can chill and enjoy a evening. Ate at Bussin Q which might be considered on expensive side for food truck but you're getting a big beef rib IYKYK, Only bad part is very little free parking.“

“I had the best experience at Kona Grill, tonight. Initially I didn't even want to go eat, I had enough after THIS day. Our server, Marisol, changed all of that. She was exceptionally attentive. Never was my glass empty, we didn't have to ask for anything. Marisol, thank you for turning my night around. I'll definitely be back and request your section. ❤️“

“Love this place ❤️ it's got a great bag of seafood for a great price. Everything I've had here is pretty good and the sat spice is worth a try. I would highly recommend if your looking for seafood boil. The market price is probably one of the best I've seen in San “

“Great bar with inside and outside seating options. Everyone is super friendly! I chose to sit outside because there was a covered patio, live music and plenty of fans to keep you cool. The inside is too smoky for me but it looked chill with plenty of tables, slots and the restrooms were clean!“

“Easy Street Bar is an absolute hidden gem in our local scene! Walking through its doors feels like stepping into a cozy oasis where time slows down and good times roll. The ambiance exudes a charming dive bar vibe that instantly puts you at ease. The jukebox, filled with an eclectic selection of tunes, sets the perfect backdrop for laughter and conversations with friends old and new.The allure of Easy Street goes beyond its inviting atmosphere; their pool tables offer endless hours of friendly competition, making every visit memorable. And let's not forget the food – a delightful surprise that takes traditional bar fare to a whole new level. The menu boasts mouthwatering options that satisfy both cravings and appetites.But what truly sets Easy Street apart is its sense of community. The regulars, the staff – everyone here feels like family, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether you're seeking a chill evening with friends or a solo escape from the daily grind, Easy Street Bar is the place to be. It's not just a bar; it's a haven where music, games, food, and camaraderie effortlessly come together. Cheers to Easy Street Bar for consistently delivering an exceptional experience!“

“Wednesday night, cooler weather in March, moderate crowd, family friendly. The bar stools were all filled, but the single bar tender managed very well. There is a lot of seating throughout the inner building and exterior. There were at least 5 food trucks open, which is a lot more than other places we've been on a weeknight. The food at the "sisters tacos and more" food truck was extremely good. We had the corn in the cup and birria quesadilla, it wasn't the best I ever had, but they did not skimp on the birria! The only thing keeping me from 4 stars is the liquor selection could have been larger. They had the basics and had decent cheap specialty drinks but could expand on liquor flavors and selections. I'd 100% recommend this spot and will be back!“

“Cream is an amazing place to go for goths. Every visit I’ve seen all varieties of gothic subcultures. You know it’s a great place when you see some of the same people each time you go. If you’re looking for a smaller place to lurk at night and be with other goths, this is the place for you.The atmosphere has improved over time with a little more new decor and never fails to be spooky. The staff are attentive to your order and keep it strictly business. They’re not overly friendly, but not rude either, just normal goths.For people who are new to the goth scene or those who have curiosity, Cream and its patrons have given the impression that all are welcome and judgement free. It’s chill with great music to vibe to and get lost in the moment. Drinks are about what you expect at a bar, however their speciality drinks don’t break the bank, I’d recommend giving one a try if you’re feeling adventurous. There a mango one my friends really enjoyed.On that note, can’t wait for the night club to open!“

“29 Dec 2023 This used to be called the St. Joseph's Society Hall or something close. We had our 25th wedding anniversary at this venue. That was 20 years ago. They still do events in the hall area. Now it's touted as Southtown Joe's, a cute little bar with pool tables, darts, electronic games and several TVs to watch sports. Our bartender Sondra was great. Personable, on point. There is karaoke Fridays at 8pm. Got off on a late start today, though. Oh well. It turned out OK. Go there.“

“Love this place! The entertainment was great, the set up and the stage is nice and easy to see, and the staff is friendly and kind. it's also not ridiculously expensive! Most places for cover bands want to charge crazy money for a table or VIP experience, but this was very reasonable. We had a great table upfront and the table for two was only $50 for really high-quality entertainment. I didn't want no VIP package, I just wanted to listen to some good music, and the band Radio Journey was on point! They sang great rock hits from the 70s and 80s of course from Journey, but also Pat Benatar, Heart, Loverboy, Night Ranger, Van Halen and more!Anyway, great people, good place, reasonable prices; what more is there to say? check them out! You'll be glad you did!“

“I love this place. Reminds me of NYC delis but cleaner and better quality food. Plus, they have some fantastic cocktails so it's a win all around.Happy hours here are definitely worth looking into. The five dollar burger on Tuesday is perhaps the best deal in town- it's cheaper than McDonald's but like actual high quality food and dang tasty.My favorite is Elaine's big salad (or whatever it's called). The ranch dressing is exquisite.Staff is super friendly - shout out to Austin and Alyssa for running the bar like absolute pros while also taking care of tables!“

“Hidden secret. Great pub food, exceptional good-hearted service, fantastic prices, if you don't come here you should ask yourself why not. Did I mention they have Yueng Ling on draft? I'm not special, but I don't review often unless the place is worth it, do as you please.“

“Very welcoming place. I saw folks of all walks of life there socializing in a safe space. Sadly i take a picture but they have a very cool mural. Also at one point the bar tender was playing classic anime theme songs. Really brought my inside kid out while hanging out with friends. Very cute spot.“

“Lots of local texas beers! Texas icehouse vibe with a lot of shaded picnic benches to sit at. Some inside AC'd seating is also available, but I'd suggest the outdoor just for the vibe. Grab a taco next door and sit back and enjoy the Texas summer!UPDATE: still digging the vibe along with the beer selection.“

“Great drinks in a relaxing atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. Bartender was super friendly. I can't remember her name but she had a really long braid. She was the sweetest! My only complaint, and this is very small, is that the stools that make up most of their seating options aren't that comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. Other than that I loved it and will definitely be back!“

“This place was fantastic and a great night cap for our food outing downtown.The venue has ample indoor and outdoor seating, packed full of smiling people. The DJ was absolutely killing it with one turntable, a mixer and Serato/Rekordbox? Either way, highly recommend this place for people who want to make some new friends, get some good drinks and just relax.I was outside having a heart to heart with a friend and when we went inside, it was like the vibe completely changed. The bartenders work their a$& off all night to make hundreds of those fancy cocktails!Anyways, solid spot. Food in front, party inside and you can dance without people getting upset. Spread the love and bring the good vibes.Thank you Amor Eterno for treating us so well ❤️*We Ubered here and did not have anyone underage in our group. We did not order food. This would probably not be kid friendly but what do I know?*“

“I love that I can pop in and it will be friendly faces at the bar and behind the bar!!! Wednesdays and Thursdays are my favorites though!!! Wednesday with Hannah and Danni behind the bar and game night made it even better!!! Thursdays with live music and those tender steaks!!!! I’d like to give a review of everyday but not enough room to do so! Try this place out if you’re in the neighborhood any day of the week to be honest!!!“

“A friend of mine wanted to go as soon as they opened & I had never been. The female working was professional, fast & friendly. I have to give props to whoever designed the place. The vibe, decor, layout & overall atmosphere was ??“

“Didn't have food this time but the Margarita WAS THE BOMB!!! I've had many B4 but dang!!! The mixologist Edward was sweet and the drink was PERFECT!The blue lemon drops were divine on the tongueNice cozy atmosphere and good music.“

“Food is always the highest quality and at a reasonable price. Excellent Enchelada special on Wednesday for $6.95. Quesadillas are always good. Have never had a bad meal here and have been a regular since their opening six years ago. Service is always friendly and attentive.“

“I took the wrong bus one night and ended up spending a few hours at this dive. They were understanding and let me charge my phone since I didn't have a portable charger and even bought me a couple of beers on the house.Before I had to catch the last bus on the line-up to head home I had a enlightening wonderful conversation with the head bartender who gave me a portable charger that was a life-saver! Thank you so much for your help, conversation, and the charger!“

“I was just walking around on a Wednesday evening and came across, Pink Catrina Taco Club. What a great find and everyone at the club was very friendly. Drinks, music, comfort vibe, and exceptional staff and customers. I'll definitely be going back and try the food. Good time memories at the Pink Catrina Taco Club.“

“Absolutely love this place! It's in an amazing location and is truly a hidden gem in Southtown! There's something for the adults and children! The flavors are absolutely amazing ?? You need to be sure to there quick before it's sold out! Check out their Instagram to stay most up to date on limited edition flavors!And if you love a certain one, ask about purchasing pints to take home!I always can't wait til "YETI TRACKS" comes out! I usually order 3 pints to take home!“

“We are from Rhode Island and we wanted to check out a local bar. We were told to try the Lonesome Rose, and it didn’t disappoint. The doorman was super friendly and the bartender was great. He made a tasty margarita. I love this atmosphere, and wish that we didn’t live so far away.“

“The cafe is ok. The museum was kinda expensive but you can save a little money if you eat there as well. We probably spent 90 minutes wandering around looking at all the taxidermy, it was interesting. Not something I would need to see more than one but definitely worth it for a hot afternoon.“

“Let me tell you about Pigpen in San Antonio - it's the kind of place that steals your heart faster than you can say "oink!" The first time I waltzed in, it was like stumbling upon a hidden gem - fairly empty, which I secretly loved. But let me warn you, every other time? Jam-packed, and for good reason!Now, onto the main event - the food. I dove into a plate of wings and a chicken slider, and let me just say, yum, yum, yum! It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth that makes you want to dance a little jig of joy. Finally, a spot serving up killer bar food that isn't just another taco joint - Pigpen, you're doing it oh-so-right!And let's not forget about the libations. We sipped on classic cocktails and beer all night long, thanks to the fabulous Courtney, our bartender extraordinaire. She's not just attentive, she's like your long-lost drinking buddy who knows exactly what you need before you even ask.But here's the real kicker - the nachos. Oh boy, oh boy, were we in for a treat! Brisket on everything? Yes, please! Pigpen knows what's up, and let me tell you, it's a flavor sensation you won't soon forget.So, do yourself a favor and trot on over to Pigpen immediately. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you later!“

“My boyfriend and I stumbled across near dark randomly recently. We walked in and Jenn was so attentive and made us a special drink upon request! The playlist was top tier. My boyfriend and I jammed out and knew every song! 10/10 would recommend! Coffin coffee was outstanding! Sweet but still strong. Aesthetic is everything and more you would want.“

“Came here for some ramen and was NOT disappointed! The ramen broth was perfect! And as a bonus because it was my first time, I was given the house edamame which was super delicious. The staff is so friendly and attentive! I will be coming back!“

“Recently came here twice and it is just a very chill place in general. They have a front patio and a back area. It's a hole in the wall type place but that's more so why I liked it. The bartender however (sorry I didn't catch her name) was amazing. I ordered and old fashioned and she went all out. Couldn't ask for better. I frequent a lot of bars and alot of them either can't make an old fashion or can't make a decent one yet her's was perfection down to the luxardo cherries. She was very nice and told me about the bottles they had and suggested a great bourbon. Love the place. I'll be a regular from now on, thanks girly“

“Frank and Heather are awesome and have always made my time here very fun! The cocktail list is always very creative and tasty! Karaoke on Wednesdays are not congested so going up to sing is always easy and fun! No pressure!!! Nice, cozy little bar in the heart of the neighborhood! Check it out!“
