I love visiting here. Looking forward to returning with my coworkers. This place has an awesome atmosphere. Atmosphere and food reminds me of Virginia Beach.

We ended the bachelor party festivities at How at the Moon and it didn’t disappoint! Fun atmosphere, great drinks, and extremely talented musicians! It was like we went to 4 different clubs and a rock concert but we never had to leave! If you have a group of 4 or more I highly recommend getting a package and reserving a table. It was like having front row tickets. All in all- a very memorable experience!

This place will surprise you. There was fast and courteous service. The place has a nice atmosphere. Mood here reminds me of Colorado Springs area.

This place is so much fun! We went on a Tuesday night and it was crazy busy. We had such a good time that we went again the next night and brought coworkers and prospective clients with us. Everyone had a great time and was still talking about it the next day.The drinks were good (ask about the bucket ) and the service was great. Our server dropped by our table often so we could order more drinks.The musicians are truly talented. They rotated singing, playing the piano, guitar, and drums. True entertainers, they encouraged the audience to sing along and dance.We’ll be back whenever we’re in town!!

Howl at the Moon is a must visit! The musicians are INCREDIBLY talented and play such a variety of music, you will definitely find something you like. You can also request songs and there are very few they dont know. Great date night, place to meet people and have an awesome time! Stay for an hour or all night.

Had an absolutely amazing first time here, thanks to a friend who won a VIP package. Music was phenomenal- musicians were so talented. We loved singing all night, drinks were great and atmosphere was fun! Will definitely return.

Just arrived in town for a conference and this was our first stop. Guy at the door, I believe his name was “Eric,” claimed we were too intoxicated to enter. We had not had a drop to drink. “Eric” got his manager “Mark” to come out to back him up when we questioned his poor judgment. “Mark,” apparently attempting to form a sense of solidarity with his staff yet alienating potential clientele (that’s profit, take note owner), ran with Eric’s judgment and backed him up stating that the bartender said we were too intoxicated. We never met the bartender. We had never even been anywhere in San Antonio. Thanks, Eric and Howl at the Moon ( and Mark) for helping me decide NOT to bring anyone here (San Antonio). Little, embarrassing things like this are the things that make an impression, and you did it Eric! Thank you for making this an easy decision Eric. Howl at the Moon already went out of business in my home town, probably because of issues similar to mine and now I know why. Anyone who reads this looking for a good way to enjoy your night in San Antonio without it being overshadowed with an awkward experience should avoid this place, I am dead serious. Ruined my first day/night in San Antonio, I do not recommend to anyone. Thank you “Eric” the door guy and “Mark” the manager. FREE CONSULTATION TO OWNER OF BUSINESS: Fire “Eric” or whoever was working the door on Sunday March 1st 2020 and have a solid talk with “Mark” or whoever claimed to be the manager about how business works. I will never be returning to San Antonio again, that is how disappointing my experience was.

We have been to a few Howls and this one is right there with the others. Only complaint and it really isnt that much of one is that there were only 3 performers where the others we have been to have more than that. The talent did an excellent job though. We did love the variety of songs that were played. You had the musts like Piano Man and Sweet Caroline but other songs that we werent expecting. Would definitely go back if ever in San Antonio again.

Fun girls night out. We reserved seats on the rail and it was perfect. With our reservations we received 2 -$10 dollar gift cards we could use on drinks and it included cover charge. Definitely recommend the reservations and sitting on the rail -gives you great line of sight for the pianos, and everyone in there. Great service. Really enjoyed it.

I went with my girlfriend and some friends. We had some issues with our check the night we went. We went back the next night to speak with the manager, Derek. Derek was extremely helpful with everything that happened. He has done a great job with the everything and was the reason we decided to go back again.

Fun times to bring back times with drinks and love music. Super huge buckets of liquor, and request optional. The only down side, the pricing is a little on the high side, and get there early or you will be standing thought the night. The out side area is really nice as well.

This place is awesome! Its got friendly staff, the musicians are talented and entertaining. Its super clean and the overall environment is fun. Theres no smoking so the air was breathable. Plus the place has security so you feel super safe being there. Expect cover charges that range from $7-10 dollars. I went for two nights, Thursday and Friday. Thursday, I bought 3 of the small buckets, which is what theyre known for, each one cost $24.00! I dont even know how much the bigger one costs but I imagine it to be in the $50.00 range. They are pricey but super delicious! Friday night, I ordered Dos Equis, thinking beer would be cheaper but drinks like beer and regular size cocktails cost $10.00 each! Therefore, I suggest maybe drinking a little before you get there or go and have a few and then go somewhere else if you plan on drinking a lot. If not, then have a few drinks and enjoy the show! Oh and also try the shots, the jello shots are good and there was also another one but I vaguely remember the name. I wanna say it was called the buttery nipple or something like that. It basically tasted like butterscotch and it was super delicious. Overall, we had fun nights at Howl at the Moon and I will definitely be going back!

Super cool atmosphere! I love the live music! Drinks are pretty pricey, and there is a door fee. Specialty shots about $9, but really good! Id say over all worth it if youre looking for a fun night! If youre ballin on a budget, maybe not for you

This place is pretty awesome. Ive gone quite a few times and they always seem to have live entertainment. There usually is a cover charge, $5-$10 depending. The drinks are bomb. They have special mixed drinks that can come in 12oz, 32oz and 60oz if I remember correctly. Definitely give this place a chance if you have the opportunity!

The cinnamon churros and light buffet they had for our bicycle tourism group was filling! Drinks were as expected. Except the “Get Lit” for $30+ to share among friends with lighted ice cubes was pretty cool. Great service offered us the mini 24 oz version than made it with whatever we wanted.Awesome fun place.

Love this place. My partner and I always have fun at the Houston and San Antonio location.Very talented entertainers. Only downside is you need to teach your door guy at the SA location some manners. He is the first and last impresssion and he was very rude 11/28/19.

Review №38

Was very disappointed with the bartender service, drink price and extra charges placed on my credit card. The extra charges did go away and the manager was quick in responding and answered my questions.The 32 oz bucket was roughly $25 and specialty shots were about $10 each, I do not have the exact price on receipt. If youd like a sweet drink to enjoy a bucket is good, it did not seem to have high alcohol content. The pianist was great, did not seem to play a lot of rock music though.

Thank you thank you for having an attendant in the bathroom on a Tuesday night! This is something I became accustomed to in New Orleans. Its so amazing to know the bathroom is clean & small things are provided from tampons to cigarettes.The cocktails & shots were great! It would be nice if they had any Belgian style beer, but I made due with Miller lite.The musicians were great! It was a rotating cast & all were talented. Hubs & I had a quick overnight trip to SA. This was our evening entertainment & we were not disappointed!!

A fun, if pretty cheesy, time. Sing-along bar classics, current pop songs and some throwback hits. The musicianship is varied but good enough. Drinks are a little overpriced and service can be slow. Its loud, high energy, fun.

I coordinated a client appreciation event for our company while we were in San Antonio for a conference. It was a great experience.The process of booking was really easy, and Whitney was always quick to respond.We were really impressed with all the branding they did for our company the evening of the event, including the custom wrap on the piano!The entertainment was really fun and several people stayed until it closed.Overall, it was a great night. The only negative, thats not really a big deal, is there is no food on-site, so you need to make arrangements with them ahead of time if needed.

Review №46

This dueling piano chain has been in SA for so long that I’m not going to explain the concept. I’m sure there are PLENTY of other reviews that delve into that. I’ll just tell you that this place is an ABSOLUTE BLAST!They open at 6PM and charge a $10 cover charge and the performers start about 6:30pm. Drinks are $$$ - someone had a Margarita, and another had a Moscow Mule and they were $15 each (remember it is a tourist spot). There is a parking garage and a couple of surface parking lots close by.I was fortunate enough to attend with a friend who won a Happy Hour Package there. There are cards at the tables that you can fill out to enter to win one for yourself. I’m pretty sure if you fill out the card and give them your digits, you win, because my friend is just not that lucky (that’s right D, I’m talkin’ about you – LOL).The happy hour package let’s you invite an unlimited number of friends who get in for NO cover charge, each person gets two $1 drink tickets (but there are only a handful of drinks/beers to choose from with these tix – scroll to the end of this review if you want the deets), and an A-OK buffet of taquitos, nachos, chips and queso, etc.There must have been 6 or 8 performers that night (pianists, singers, guitar players, drummers) so they were able to rotate in and out all night long without a break in the entertainment. They were ALL top-notch entertainers.Everyone knows that you can put song requests in (and if you include a tip they will probably play it) but make sure you take advantage of what I call “The Mirror Tips.” You can tip them to write anything you want in shoe polish on the mirrors for all the world to see. It can be a silly statement, a congratulatory statement for a friend, or something to humiliate your friend (I chose the latter of course). The comment stays on the mirror until someone tips more than you paid to have it put up there. LOT’s of fun at this place – but pricey and crowded.I’ll stop rambling now and include the $1 happy hour party drink list as I promised above:Lonestar/Lonestar LightMiller LightCoors LightWell DrinksBarefoot Wines

Always an awesome time when I come here! Love how they do requests and have us singing all night. I really enjoy the large drinks they serve and the bar tenders are always prompt and friendly. Eat before going though as they don’t have a kitchen. If you want a good time this is definitely a good spot, especially if you have a group !

Review №64

We had fun while visiting the area at this place, but beware...the waiter who was all fun and games, brought us a $300 check for one round of drinks. He apologized, then brought a new bill for over a hundred dollars. I would not recommend the bucket drinks the waiters push on you. They must have cost over $30 each, and they were extremely sweet, I couldnt finished half of mine. A friend sent his back, but bill was still over a hundred for 5 drinks. Also my cousin got double billed and is checking I to that as she saw on her bank statement, and is checking into that.

Review №75

Weve been here a few times. Musicians are always very good and talented, no complaint there. The place had good specials for drinks in the past. Now not so much. Normal drinks are $12, so the crowd is sitting sober watching the band and no one is dancing half of the night. The place used to be packed at 8 and the dancefloor was crowded with people.

I usually don’t come on here and complain but this place was the worst! And I tried to speak to management and all complaints fell on deaf ears! So my experience was I took my mother and sister to this piano bar. Granted we came on a Friday so there is a cover charge... fine whatever no problem $10 per person. Honestly, the best thing about this establishment was the bouncers! They were the most friendly people. Once we got upstairs we found a table to sit at. As we all know at a bar people are always trying to grab chairs, so I had my foot on a chair for my sister while she went to the bar. A server came to my table ripped the chair from under my foot, I said oh we have one more person with us. She told me, I need to straighten up the chairs, do you understand me? Followed with a dirty look. She proceeded to come up and place menus on the table and slam down the napkins looked at my mom and gave her a dirty look also. She came around again asked if we needed anything I gave her a smile and thumbs up said we are good thank you and she once again gave us a dirty look. At this point I’m beyond upset with paying $30 to get mistreated. We have only been in the bar for maybe 10 minutes!! So I went to complain to a manager. When I asked someone for the manager I again got attitude from yet another staff member. Told em I had a complaint. When I told the female manager what happened and how I should not pay $30 to be mistreated she smiled at me and said sorry I’ll get you another server. I said no we closed our tab and don’t want to spend another moment here and she said oh sorry just let me know if you decide to stay. So needless to say, spent money just to get mistreated and management could care less. I left upset and could have spent that money somewhere else with better staff on drinks. Please do yourself a favor and never come here.
