(210) 225-5552

Bar/Pub, Games, Games: Video Games, Jukebox, Staff Pick

Downtown happy-hour central, come one, come all. Great conversation hideout, with friendly bartenders and stiff shots. -- SgtCody (10/08)
El Tenampa

(210) 223-8365

General Services, Games: Billiards, Staff Pick

Reyes Bar & Sons

(210) 224-4722

General Services, Staff Pick, Jukebox

Charming, but not for the faint-hearted. The old wooden bar's 20 feet if it's an inch, and tipped on end it might reach the ceiling. The bathroom's in the courtyard, the register predates receipts, and the beer list is three brands long. -- Lyle Rosdahl (09/08)
SoHo Wine & Martini Bar

214 W Crockett Downtown

(210) 444-1000

Bar/Pub, Romantic, Staff Pick

This sophisticated yet relaxing riverside bar really does feel like a big-city hangout in its namesake Manhattan 'hood. The clubby atmosphere is helped along by deep-red walls, stylish furniture, the former bank's original 19th-century safe (doubling as an above-ground cellar), and a horseshoe bar that encourages long, conversation-rich happy hours. -- Lyle Rosdahl (12/08)
