Phillip Marable

Richard Dilks

What a view half price appetizers during happy hour is a great deal

Eli Seth

Not worth the time or cost it takes

Matt Wine

A refreshing break after the tower observation deck. Still has great views and a nice cocktail menu.

Lee Fisher

Great place to have a drink and see the skyline! Skip the line and cost of the observation deck. Have a cold drink and see the same skyline!

It's a really great place to come to on a Sunday evening it's a really great atmosphere. The view is absolutely phenomenal, and especially when the suns starts to set in the evening. Really good appetizers. I ordered the calamari, coconut shrimp along with the prime rib sliders and they were tasty. They have also really good drinks also. All in all my experience was excellent I can't really complain. I would definitely recommend this venue.

Great views. Really great atmosphere

Kim Gardner

Not that impressed for a bar that is a center attraction of the city. The wine list is lacking with only a few wines per grape type. The waitress wasn’t aware of the drink characters.

Cheesy. Touristy. Pricey (perhaps). Yes. All that. But overall, fun. And what views! Can't beat the views anywhere else in town. Been here several times. Each time it just gets better. They've changed their cocktail menu recently and it's pretty exciting. Our last outing, we had a group of friends from ATX that never been. We took them up and they loved it. We were pleasantly surprised with their fresh cocktail menu . We had several that were pretty stiff, but tasty drinks. We were mostly impressed by their Cocktails for Two. They bring out this canteen looking container and filled it with fruits and aromatics followed by several spirits which they them proceed to mix. Once mixed, the set 3 shot glasses in front of each person, each glass with its own distinct flavor. They then present 3 low ball glasses to each person and start to pour the concoction into each glass. Finally, the shot glass is emptied into each low ball to make your drinks. These cocktails were outstanding!!! Even after all 6 cocktails are poured, you still have alcohol left to continue to make some more. Definitely go check it out. And ask for the Cocktails for Two. You won't regret it. The only drawback is the parking. If you don't want to dish out the cash for premium parking, your options are to park all the way in China and walk back.

Heard happy hour was best in town...should also mention the worst service in town. Not staffed with enough servers to handle the crowd. Sat for over an hour before deciding to eat apps elsewhere. The elevator ride up was the best part.

1st and last time i will ever eat there. I asked 4water, it took 15min to get it. I asked for a cheeseburger well done n fries, my burger was medium rare n fries were cold. They gave me a free meal next time, but y should I???? Its not worth it 4me.

Valerie Krause

we waited for 30 minutes after sitting and ordering and never got our drinks. The waitress made no effort to apologize for our wait or be polite.

Dennis Narciso

They are often out of the beers on their menu. Also, happy hour doesn't apply on Columbus Day....

Kimberly Felker

Great staff, accommodating for the 5 guests that were in my party. Awesome view of San Antonio...our waitress Kelly was great! Drinks were fair $$ for the atmosphere.

Boots wilkerson

Awesome place , food fantastic!

Kareem lara

Good bar, but slightly over hyped, once getting to the top of the tower, alot of the food is very expensive, and slightly could be better for the price and experience, but a great must stop bar for people who want to experience it!

Wayne Powell

Solid option for drinks even if its coffee. Check out a view of the town and catch a glimpse of the Alamo.

Enjen S

Fantastic views but 30 minutes to get an elevator down and the staff doesn't help

Karen Tucker

Loved the food, great service. Beautiful view. But the air conditioning didn't come on until 6 pm. It was hot and uncomfortable before that. Did not buy many drinks because we were so hot. Stuck with water to cool down.

Steve Cohen

Always fun up there. Happy Hour is the best open secret in San Antonio - free ride to up to the bar, cheap cocktails and beer and apps, and the best view in the city.

Patricio Mac Donald

Great view

David Ahijevych

Thought the reviews were pretty much dead on. Didn’t expect the worlds greatest drinks or service, and the prices were not cheap, but the view and the sunset were phenomenal . Unfortunately the bar does not turn.

Kaitlin Drake

Good food and gorgeous view, but the food takes forever to come out. It took 40 minutes to get just an appetizer. ended up spending an hour and a half for two cocktails and an appetizer.

L.R. Martinez

Small bar, incredible view.
