Great bar location. Just happen to find this place while looking for a place to drink in downtown San Antonio. The main thing I liked is that they have pool tables. Their music is great. A good combination of American and Latin music. The DJ was also cool I requested a song and he did not hesitate to play it. It was a great fun for being a Monday night.

Had the best time here! Karaoke was so good! It was my bday and everyone was very friendly, beer was cold, shots were big! Couldn’t have planned a better time. I was so stoked that we literally stumbled across this gem! I’ll be going back!

This place is dope!! They play a good variety of music from different eras. It’s pretty hip hop focused which is a plus for me. They played Pastor Troy, Bone Crusher, Boosie, I was taking a lot of trips down memory road.

Went in with less than 30 minutes remaining. Paid cover for 7 individuals. No problem they wanted to check it out. (Noone had cash, cash only cover as told at the door by a group of 3 apparent workers).Went to bar, ordered 4 drinks for the group. Was given 3, told bar tender I was missing one - said he got it, pay for one more. Okay, one more please. Never came. Told other bartender, can I get one more *xx*.Never came. Screw it.I was charged 2x - amount with tip, amount without tip. 2 seperate charges for one, poorly serviced transaction. TRIED CALLING THEM AND BUSINESS LINE IS A NON WORKING VERIZON CELL NUMBER.I called the bank and disputed.I own a business and take credit/debit cards over 60% of the time. Never once charged someone twice..... and my phone number certainly works.BUT AT LAST! We were walking out if the establishment, and a group of rowdy, fighting, thuglet style individuals were crowding the sidewalk. Ido not want my lady walking in the street, and do not appreciate my city being thugged out. BOUNCERS (DOOR MEN) LOOKING ON!!!! NO BIG DEAL TO THEM! I keep walking ignoring the thug remarks as I make my way down the public sidewalk. Im 64 and 240 lbs, and was repeatedly tapped and heckled at by a 5 foot tall thug. His buddy got him away as he knew what would have happened....This establishment is greasy, sketchy, and I would not take my business there ever again. Absolutely uncomfortable and I have been In San Antonio for 24 years. DO NOT GO HERE SCAMMERS.

Neat place if you like ratchet music but If you you need to make/take a call or smoke and not be put in a choke hold, avoid at ALL costs. There are LOTS of better choices with better rent-a-cops(looking at you Security Texas) too; zero stars if possible

So i bought two drinks and two shot i paid $25 and not even one hour later i ask for the same order and the bartender charge me $43 . I think TABC needs to investigate this location. i cant believe the bartender make their own prices and charge customer random prices.

I would not recommend the basement. I was there for a friend’s birthday. It was crowded and a big girl bumped into me and I fell next to the dj stand. The bouncers came in full force and man handled me out. It wasn’t until I walked back to my car I realized my keys, money and jewelry was missing! I had to pay $350 the next day for a new key, spent $60 on an Uber since I was visiting from out of town. The absolute worst night of my life! I had bruises all over my body the next day and was sore for like a week!

Overcrowded bar with slow service. Found a gnat in my drink as well. Definitely a place that coasts on its good/tourist trap location without really trying to be anything special.

$5 cover. Ac doesnt work properly. Its approximately 112° inside and the humidity is at 100% so you wont be able to stand this place longer than 10 minutes. Save your money man

Bad experience, bouncers jumped a friend of mine FOR NO REASON. It stinks and drinks are way over priced. I recommend going else where, never giving the basement business again.

Unsafe place to go to, on Saturday we saw the employes( bouncers & dj) jump a group of people, they where punching girls and they stole jewelry, shoes & car keys. After the group had left the dj announced that he had all the items and was all happy about it until the police came.

Terrible bar. Was out for a friends birthday and he accidentally broke a beer bottle. We proceeded to be kicked out and 4 bouncers followed us out and 30 ft down the street. The heckled and named called us to fight them. But we just told them over and over to leave us alone as we walked away. They proceeded to shove us from behind and one even slapped me across the face as I walked away. They were truly trying to get me to fight. They would all jumped us if we had even verbally confronted them. The cops would have been called and it would have their word verse the drunk patron. We all know how that would have played out. If we were a true threat I could understand all this- maybe. But we were there maybe 2 minutes before all this happened. I will not return here and obviously the security has a major case of little d!€k syndrome! Ohh, and if you want to inhale the pleasant odor of wet dog all night, its plentiful in this bar. Cheers :)
