After we stumbled out of Roadmap, we saw their sign outside and figured we should add them to our crawl. It has a thick party atmosphere to it, with swings for barstools and ample room for a lot of people. Reminds me of an outside Puerto Rican or Cuban club you'd find in Miami. As soon as I walked in, I could feel the party vibes. It has a big dance area, and a large stage for bands and DJs. There was a food truck, but we didn't peek in on it. Both our bartenders were really cool and talkative. Maaaan, I bet this place gets wild at night. We did feel a little confused, though. When you see a sign saying "beer garden," all other factors considered, you know there's going to be at least one thing you enjoy, regardless. However, I'm not quite sure I'd call this a beer garden. They had no taps! Like zero! I spoke to the bartender and he said they were planning on putting in a 16-tap area in the back, but that it was still under construction. For us, as beer connoisseurs (pinky in the air whilst I down my Martin House), I felt I could get their selection just about anywhere in town - but clearly there's a lot more going on here than beer. If I were young again and looking for adventure, I could definitely see us coming here more often. I was going to give them 4 stars for misleading me on their craft selection, but I'm going to bump them up to 5 for showing me a new mingle location, if I'm ever down for that sort of thing in the future.

So much door security will tell you all you need to know about the types of clientele they're used to getting. It's a great sports bar, good number of TVs, and good music. Increased individual awareness is required but it's a good spot nonetheless.

A pretty cool place to sit and have Drink. Prices are really good but selection on drinks is limited. The bathrooms are not working or under construction, so porta potties are available. Atmosphere at night does drastically change and music gets louder.

Music ? was pumping, beer was cold!!! This is my go to place now. Other place don't serve this beer, but when I asked the bartender do u have "Angry Orchard" and when she said yes I was a happy camper all through the night. Thanks Bentley's.

I was there on a Saturday afternoon around 03:00, the vibe was good but if your going to open up during the day in 100 deg weather, you have to mitigate it. Maybe put some water dispensers over the whole bar. Also need to fix the restroom. I know I was there about a year ago and they haven’t done anything with the restrooms, don’t want to use porter potties in hot weather. Also the music, maybe play like a top ten list channel music, playing house music or dance music in the middle of the day is not what I was in the mood for, maybe I’m getting old but I hope this helps management. One last thing is draft beer was missing. When the name beer garden comes to mind, you expect a lot of craft beers available, good example is the beer park at Paris Las Vegas, they had a lot of craft beers available, didn’t see it yesterday.Overall good atmosphere, good vibe, unfortunately for me the cons out weigh the pros.

Friendly staff, good music and the Crawfish from Kendrick Poole aka Mr Batonrouge is on point!!!

I love this place! The girls and I always hit this place up on Friday and Saturdays to dance. They play a mix of hip hop, cumbia, bachata with a DJs mix. Bartenders are nice but lines can get long on really busy nights. Worth the wait tho.

Very nice downtown bar. The band playing, Smokewagon was outstanding last Friday. I was impressed with the level of security. The available of parking is a challenge. You must park in the lot across the street that requires you to only pay with a cellphone. The parking is $5.00, but there website adds a $0.90 fee. It looks like they have future plans to offer food.

Great vibe, great music! There is plenty of room to enjoy friends. We LOVE IT THERE!!!!

It was a blast! We love the staff, and door security. Thank you so much for a fantastic evening, a wonderful DJ, lots of dancing and good drink specials. Crayfish night, San Antonio birthday fun. I can't wait for my next SAtrip. We will see you soon.
