Seafood, spirits and song |
16084 San Pedro Ave (between Brookhollow and Thousand Oaks) San Antonio, TX 78232 United States +1 210 496 3386 |
Crabby Jacks is a popular place with the happy-hour crowd, the dinner crowd and the late-night crowd, and it succeeds in catering to all three. With its weather-beaten wood and tank of live lobsters, this bar/restaurant looks like it belongs on a beach more than it does fronting a strip center. The atmosphere is dark and cozy, accented with red lights and lots of beer gear. Pull up a stool at one of the three large bars or grab a booth for drinks and dinner. The menu is laden with seafood items including steamed, fried and broiled selections of fish, crab, shrimp, lobster and oysters. If you don't like shellfish, you can choose from several beef, chicken and pasta entrées. Live singers are featured every night; a DJ takes care of the tunes on Sunday nights before the live performances get started. 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 |

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 |

A favorite place for locals |
8134 Broadway San Antonio, TX 78209 United States +1 210 320 4091 |
A friendly atmosphere with a unique design. Twisted metal and a lounge like feel make this place a favorite of the Alamo Heights crowd. The bar is almost always packed and has a great outdoor patio where one can sit back with a cold beer and enjoy the crowd.Whether you are inside or out you will not be disappointed.

Restaurant by day, bar by night |
7300 Jones Maltsberger Road (near the Alamo Quarry Market) San Antonio, TX 78209 United States +1 210 828 3508 http://www.stonewerks.com |
The décor here is something between a rustic ranch house and a polished hacienda. The interior is fairly standard, with booths and tables, but the wrought-iron tables that dot the patio add a comfortable charm. Strategically placed heaters keep the patio warm and wonderful year-round. A full bar serves several draft and bottled beers as well as a good selection of wine. If you are hungry, drop in for lunch or an early dinner. Start with the divine artichoke dip and then dig in to the pecan breaded chicken. Note that the kitchen stops serving food two hours before closing time. Review © 2007, Wcities |
