One of the best Irish Pubs in Texas with one of the best pours of Guinness I've had outside Dublin. Sure, the music caters to the American tastes, but he knows his Irish classics if you ask.
Cesar LozanoApril 15, 2015The service was great and the food too. The recommended beer was very good, I had only 2 pints is real beer.
If you are looking for an Irish Pub in SA this is the only place. The others are Irish in name only! Great selection of liquor, a few TV's but not enough to take away from the Craic. Enjoy a pint! - Better Irish Bar on the Riverwalk. They have a great selection of Irish Whiskey including Midleton! (but at $25 touristy price) overall best liq. Selection DT. Live ♪ but usually same guy every night.
Derek R Swartz(FJB)August 17, 2015Great food great beer, great music fun evenings with fellow Red Knights Motorcycle Club during our 2015 International Convention in San Antonio. Thanks for your hospitality.
Jimmy KastnerAugust 7, 2017This is a great little Irish Pub. Lots O' drunks will want to talk to you, but they're mostly friendly until you start playing darts.
Danielle PolkJanuary 15, 2016The spinach artichoke dip is delicious. My fiance and I ordered it every time we stopped by during a week vacation this past holiday.
Alex SalazarOctober 11, 2012Great hang out specially for late night after the office! Try their beer, they always have exports from Ireland !- Heather HaleFebruary 6, 2015The Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake was worth the calories. Try a Fireball cinnamon whiskey (straight, on the rocks or w/7-up).
ᴡ WegenerAugust 1, 2011Whoever said this is an Irish bar done right is spot on. Great atmosphere and staff. Can't go wrong with a Guinness and Fish and Chips.
Wolf HoltOctober 2, 2014Great Irish Pub! Great beer selection and alright prices for the river walk, owner is an old Irishmen :)- Heather HaleFebruary 6, 2015Fish and chips was excellent! Great homemade tartar sauce. Shepherd's pie was okay.
My favorite bar in the country!!! Live music by Joe Walmsley, and the bartenders are awesome!!!
Sandra BaumannMarch 18, 2017Sat at the bar and had to listen to the waitresses bitching about their Job, customers and coworkers the entire time, ugh!- Brett CopelandDecember 4, 2011Great Irish bar, excellent scotch selection. Looking forward to going back and trying the food.
VoniaMarch 18, 2015Fish & chips are pretty damn good, as well as the bread pudding. Sheperd's Pie does not even come with a pie. Fail.
Kelly JohnsonMarch 29, 2016If I could give this place less than 1 star...I would. BEWARE if you go here....KEEP ALL of your RECEIPTS & CREDIT CARD slips!!! The servers seem to like to write in their own tips!!!
TomFebruary 23, 2013Waxy knows how to pour a proper pint of Guinness. If you know what I'm talking about, this is the place for you.
Jacqueline GreenFebruary 21, 2022Wasn’t blown away by flavors. Waiter wasn’t much involved with our table. Had to get up and get salt, drinks and napkins ourselves.
- Patrick O'ReillyMarch 27, 2010Good Irish Food in a Real Irish Pub. Probably the best Irish Pub in San Antonio & It's on the Riverwalk! Read more
Aaron FaucherJune 12, 2010I know it's an Irish pub, but the baby spinach and shrimp salad is very good. Light and refreshing in the South Central Texas heat!
The Most Interesting Man in the WorldFebruary 13, 2014There weren’t as many candles as I thought there’d be.
- Igor VugrinecMay 31, 2016Ok, this is were you want to order french fries if you are European or can't stand the horible, tasteless american french fries.
