Avis sur The Drinkery San Antonio
These pics are an example of how awesome this place is. I just found it a couple months ago. Such hospitality! They fed many and of course a few drinks were had by all. Being a rando in an obviously regulars bar can be uncomfortable but the staff made me feel so welcome! Thank you Casey, Brit, Hillary, Andrew and all the rest I'm forgetting.

Always a fun place for drinks, friendly people and staff. Music rocks, plenty of room for darts and pool. Tucked away in a corner so that everyone knows every one. A great place for drinks after work or just a night out with friends.
Unassuming, humble, and friendly. The drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. If you're looking for an upscale hipster alchemy bar, this is NOT it. But, if you're looking for a comfortable night out in a bar that feels safe and friendly, this the bar for you. I keep coming back :)
This has been my go-to bad decision spot for the last few years. I'm moving out of state soon and I'm gonna miss all the folks here dearly. Cheers from Florida. ❤️
Badass place, new favorite place on the north side 👌 Scott a boss took good care of everything and everyone 🙌
When the have food either a food truck or homie making burgers and hand cut fries it's been good.service is always cool. And the atmosphere is laid back n chill I love it karaoke on weds is usually a great time. I don't sing but if I did here would be where I'd do it
Really cool spot to chill with friends. Came here during vacation and was pleased to see that there were pool tables,karoake,and a darts game. Bartender was very kind. Didn’t catch his name at all but he was very pleasant. Service here was excellent and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It’s dark and lit with purple LED lights creating a relaxing and fun atmosphere. The drinks were also amazing and if im ever on this side of the river for vacation I’ll be stopping by again.
No food that I know of but I didn't ask. Great service and super welcoming even to people who don't drink. And you're not spending a whole lot. Definitely recommend.
I love Hillary even though she is A Green Bay fan. She is a perfect complement to Sunday football. Excellent bartending service and good conversation. A lot of regulars go by there and they always seem to have a good time. They've done a great job selecting their staff. Brittany is also one of my all-time favorites. You can't go wrong.
This bar is perfect. I've made many memories here. The service is always great. The crowd is so welcoming to everyone and makes us all feel like regulars. I will definitely be back the next time I'm back.
The staff are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. This was the favorite hangout of a good friend of ours who recently passed away. A lot of friends and family stopped by to have a celebratory drink and good food and they made us feel so welcome.

This is a nice location to sit down for some good drinks for a reasonable price. It's a little difficult to find and it's simply labelled as "the Drinkery" outside. If you're just looking for a place to chill and shoot pool in the neighborhood then I would recommend this place. And to be honest the only reason this is getting a 4 star is because the size of the establishment is very small, clustered, and awkward.
I really enjoyed the Jenga and other games they had set up for the guest to play, as well as the projector screens to view sport games etc. Service at the bar was pretty legit. Good place to go sit down and have a few drinks, watch some sports, and play some games with some friends. The past five times we've visited It's been drama free

Solid 3.5 stars! If you have never been here, this is towards the back of the strip mall and best approached from a side street. Very cool and dark interior which can be case described as eclectic greets you. It’s essentially a nicer level of a dive bar. Pool tables and dart boards are well priced !Bartender was responsive. Prices are a bit all over the place, but a fun time nonetheless! Worth a visit or two for sure!

They have good food for a bar and many fun little activities for you to do to keep things fun. One issue I had was that I had MANY employees confront me about my service dog even though she wasn't causing any trouble, I had all her paperwork with me, and I kept her away from the main room and bar and kitchens out of courtesy for the establishment.

Thursday night and the terrible food vendor outside wants to act his wage and try to fight customers.... wow! Already had second thoughts about meeting friends here but having to deal with an entitled contract worker selling hot dogs is crazy. Bartenders were focused and got drinks in a timely manner but this place left a bad taste. Way better places to go in the area.

This happened months ago and I realize I never left a review, so hopefully these bartenders are no longer there but I won’t be coming back to find out. My husband and I live walking distance to this place and we love stopping by local bars and thought this location was perfect. He ordered the drink that was on special for that day, the bartender said it was 2.50. He got 2 doubles and i got a ranch water. When we got our check though our total was $30. We had to wait so long for the bartender to come back, obviously hoping that we just pay and leave. We asked him about the cost considering a double that is 2.50 should be $5, so $10 total, and no way is a ranch water $20 dollars? Our check didn’t have individual prices and he went to talk to the other male bartender, they looked like they were doing math trying to figure out how to convince us we weren’t getting scammed. Finally he comes back with the math they wrote down together saying that the drink special was actually 3.50 (even though he told us 2.50 when we asked earlier) and that the drinks should be x5 (why x5 if it’s a double? shouldn’t that be x2?) and then says “i’m not trying to scam yall, i can give you a discount if you want. i’m not a bad guy” we just rolled our eyes and paid. In what universe is 3 drinks, two on special, $30 dollars? We really wanted to make this our regular place since it’s so close by but we’ll just drive to Oak Hills Tavern or Slackers instead where they don’t try to severely overcharge you, try to ignore you for 10 minutes hoping you’ll just pay, then gaslight you saying that the price is totally normal. Could’ve had weekly regulars but choose to scam people instead.
Hadn't been here in quite a while. It was terrible. The bartenders had a rude attitude towards us, they kept thinking we were talking about them. They started making snide and inappropriate comments towards us. I didn't appreciate that at all. I'm severely disappointed with my experience here. I used to love going here but I definitely won't be returning.
Scott was a d bag. I did not like my drink the original “blue Hawaiian” not a new drink so I know whats in it and what it is supposed to taste like. I told him he poured way too much pineapple juice and he just got cocky and pretty much said deal with it. Could not get another drink had to pay for a cocktail I did not even like.
Place is over priced, always mess up on credit card transactions. They Say one price and then two days later charge you more than they said. rude service and won’t give out receipts
