Great San Antonio bar! I wish there was a dart board or pool table. The atmosphere was great. Super chill spot to have a drink and maybe sing so karaoke!

This is one hidden gem in the south of Southtown. You must meet Ben and Jesse! Wonderful people, fun karaoke, and great drink specials.

Drinks are good, and now they are changing things up a bit, it's not kareoke night every night, just Fridays from like 6 or 8 to 10, and then they got a dj. Prices went up slightly.

Didn’t try any food, but the music was great. The service was A+ and the atmosphere was fun and nostalgic.

I haven't been to El Luchador bar AS a bar in a long time. I usually go on early Sundays where my local church rents it out. I remember the drinks & service were Very Good. Food trucks show up & have menus, but haven't eaten in a while. Always liked the lucha libre (Mexican wrestling) atmosphere since I first discovered the bar.Parking: Plenty of parking, as long as you arrive early. A little difficult to park later next to bar. Free parking across the street in another lot, unless that fills up.Wheelchair accessibility: A ramp to roll wheelchairs into the bar in front. To get to front door from parking lot in wheelchair may be difficult; uneven gravel, not asphalt.

For a hole in the wall type of bar that sits in the low income neighborhood, I believe that prices should accommodate with lower drink prices. The owners are awesome though.

I was asked to leave after the cops showed up and before last call, also a couple days ago i got checked by someone who didn’t want to identify himself after asking for my ID, been to luchador a few times but these recent visits have been super unpleasant and unwelcoming, super sketchy place. I willnot visit this location again, there are more friendly locations near downtown.

I used to love this place but it seems within the last year or so my friends and I (who have never caused any issues) have been treated poorly and been made to feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. And the karaoke DJ with the eyeliner was trash talking another bar? On the mic? Boasting about how he will get everyone in the rotation but throwing himself and his friends on the mic ahead of everyone else for “special requests”.

I've been a patron at this location for about 3 years or so. When I first started coming here, the vibes were awesome, drinks were good and service was excellent. I always come by for karaoke nights.This time around...I felt unwelcome.My friends and I, could feel the vibe was off.We arrived later on, this particular Saturday night, around 12:30 AM or so.We signed up for karaoke and ordered drinks.My friend signed up first for karaoke and got skipped, not until my second friend got called up and let the KJ know that they skipped the first friend.We're all enjoying yourselves, patiently awaiting our turn, to sing, when the clock strikes, last call.I go up to the bar with only one man waiting for his shots to be made.I make eye contact with the bartender. (She has a bold blonde money piece.)We exchange a grin.She acknowledged me and knew I was waiting to be served. As she's done making the 6 shots, she serves two shots to the man waiting and then proceeds to walk around to serve the other four shots to patrons that are sitting on the stools facing the stage. The way she carried the shot glasses was against health code. Her fingers were on the rim, in the glass!! Ewww.She then took a shot with said patrons and hung around for a few minutes, knowing it's last call and has other people at the bar waiting to be served.At this point I'm just being patient, when another pair of patrons walks up and are standing at the well (rail).Finally said bartender resumes their post behind the bar to acknowledge the two patrons that had just barely walked up to be served. I interject and say I was here first and put in my drink order. A twisted tea and two Lone Stars (red) .I suppose, I startled the 2 patrons that had just walked up because I was speaking up for myself and letting the bartender know that I was there first.She pops the top to the drinks ordered and then says "Do I take them or do I not!?" I say I'm going to pay for them and the bartender says again "Do I take them or do I not!?"Again, "I will pay for them " and she says for the thrid time "Do I take them or do I not!?"I believe she may have been intoxicated. I don't know what the policy is for staff drinking on the job.I finally said "Take them!" and stormed tf out.This bartender needs an ego check and perhaps a breathalyzer.I don't know Lucha y'all had my heart and now it's shattered.Yalls bar staff turn over rate has been Hella high.... where are all the OG peeps?
Great drink specials and plenty of options to choose from. Parking on the lot and across the street. Good local bands on the

Fun place for any wrestling fan to visit. So much to look at and take in, always some kind of wrestling playing on the big screen or entrance themes playing over the speakers. Drinks are reasonably priced and great staff working the bar.
