 Dance (most of) the night away in downtown |
411 Bonham St San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 271 3811 http://www.bonhamexchange.net/ |
The Bonham Exchange, simply known as "The Bonham," is a large and popular nightclub a couple of blocks away from Rivercenter Mall. Although the Bonham still primarily sees itself as a lesbian/gay club, times have changed, and the club now boasts a more diverse clientele. Dance on one of the club's three dance floors and when you are hot and tired, enjoy a drink on the patio. If you are hungry, you can usually find someone selling tacos or hamburgers. There is a small room between the first and second floors of the main dance floor with newspapers, flyers and other information about the lesbian/gay community. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Huge country & western bar and dance hall |
3030 NE Loop 410 (at the IH-35 junction) San Antonio, TX 78218 United States +1 210 646 9378 |
For the ultimate country and western experience, be sure to visit the nightclub that boasts the largest dance floor in Texas. Only 12 minutes from the River Walk, Far West features nightly rodeos and mechanical bull riding and often hosts live performances by national recording artists. In order to look like a real Texan, be sure to wear your jeans and boots and to order an ice-cold longneck beer. Once you take a two-steppin' spin across the sawdust-covered dance floor, you're sure to feel like you grew up here. Customers must be 21 or older to enter. Cover charges vary; call for information and performance schedules. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Every night is Mardi Gras |
111 W Crockett St (South Bank) San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 212 7886 |
Fat Tuesday can best be described as a mini-Mardi Gras every night of the year. Featuring "the world's largest selection of frozen drinks," this is an exotic- drink lover's paradise. On Friday and Saturday nights, the bar is packed to the gills, and a good time is had by all. For those who want to listen to the music and enjoy the atmosphere without being indoors, there is also a patio with tables overlooking the River. Fat Tuesday is not only a daiquiri bar, but also a restaurant. The menu is limited, but what it does offer is palatable and reasonably priced. Live entertainment is provided from Thursday through Saturday nights, and on these evenings there is a small cover charge depending on the featured performer. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A lounge lizard's favorite hideaway |
8507 McCullough San Antonio, TX 78216 United States +1 210 344 4747 |
Virtually hidden in an unassuming strip center behind one of the city's largest shopping malls, this bar is a favorite of young and old alike. Dripping in red velvet, naugahyde-covered chairs and subdued lighting, the small space is filled to capacity by locals who come to see the bar's owner perform on stage. The owner is probably one of the best cover singers around, possessing the uncanny ability to sound exactly like Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson or anyone else, for that matter. This is the epitome of a lounge act, and the Mylar "rain" curtain behind the stage is icing on the cake. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fun and funky dance club |
212 College St (between Presa and Navarro streets) San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 220 1972 http://www.pollyesthers.com |
Totally retro, totally kitsch and totally fun. This dance club occupies three floors of a former office building overlooking the River Walk. The first floor features '90s and current music and is decked up with plenty of mirrors, silver tones and neon colors. Polly Esther's Disco holds court on the second floor and features music from the disco era. The '70s experience is complete with a "Saturday Night Fever"-style lighted disco floor, a Partridge Family bar and a Lava Lamp Lounge. Topping it all off is Polly Esther's Culture Club on the third floor. Take a nostalgia trip back into the '80s, complete with black light bars and a laser-lit "Purple Rain" dance floor. Drink specials, contests and cover charges vary. Review © 2007, Wcities |
