Cassandra Garcia is the best Bartender in San Antonio. Not only does she have great customer service but, she cares about her customers and remembers 2-3 weeks laters what they drink and how we like our drinks made. Absolutely the best in town. Tonic Bar got lucky when they got her!!!

I lived across the street for years and never went, but; I dont drink alcohol anymore and lead me not into temptation right? LoL. They have great music though, I would sit on my balcony and listen to the echos of their luve venues on a Friday or Saturday night.

The guy behind the bar couldnt even pour a draft beer it had lots of foam. When I told him my screwdriver had red things floating in it, he said OH IT MUST BE FROM THE GLASS. Other then that music was great and other bartenders were good.

Its ok but not what my friends and I were looking for. We stayed maybe 30 minutes and then left cause they also were having a band and didnt want other friends to have to pay the cover charge when they got there. The drinks were ok but nothing fantastic.

Looks like a nice, low key place in the on-line photos. Reality? More like a dive. Its more of the loser dive, not the cool and laid back type. Disappointing. Didnt stay long enough to drop it to one star, thus the partial credit.

I used to love coming here, but I stopped because I stopped promoting concerts. I’d definitely recommend this place for groups, though! Sometimes they have great music, and the drinks are cold and strong.
