The Amp Room

Stoked to come to San Antonio and find a place that offered kind of a goth/rocker atmosphere. We came in from California looking for something fun to do in the area, and this place had a great DJ, decently priced drinks and it wasn't too packed. I had a cider, the wait wasn't terrible. We came back for Halloween and it was pretty packed at that time but that's to be expected. All in all we enjoyed our time here

Cheap drinks and good music. I went on a Saturday night with the family. They had a DJ. They had happy hour till 9. Drinks are pretty inexpensive. The bartenders were awesome. They were fast and even modified a drink for our group. They have a pool table and darts to keep you entertained. That night, they had a few people selling crafts. The crowd is a mix. Anyone fits in. It's pretty laid back. There's a food truck outside and your able to bring the food in. Parking is available behind the mix which is right next door.

I'm only giving a star to be nice. 0% in my book. Customer service is key. Word of mouth is so important. The bartender was rude & lacks customer service.

Wow did my two friends and I really stick out like sore thumbs here during Emo night. After The Growlers concert at Paper Tiger across the street, one friend suggested we head over here (where there was air conditioning) for a drink and just to cool off.All three of us are in our early 30s, and the crowd that night looked very mid-20s-ish, despite listening to a lot of music that was big when WE were in high school. My bleach blonde pink hair stood out amidst a sea of black hair and even blacker eyeliner (and some guy-liner, too). My friend's pink and white striped button down also made him easy to spot in a sea of black shirts and fishnet stockings.Nonetheless, we had a good time there, much of it spent catching our breaths, recuperating, and playing some fun "guess that band!" mini-trivia as song after song from our olden days filled the room.

Had never been here before but came through to see Saturday Night Shockers. We found a seat at the bar and were tended to quickly. The staff was friendly and the venue was clean. I enjoyed my time here and can't wait to come back.

Great place to hang out especially on a Wednesday and Thursday night when they are playing 80s and 90s new wave, rock and dark hits!!The bartenders are very accommodating and personable.I recommend the amp shot and a great cocktail!We will always be back for more fun!

Get Amped! This is a great place to catch a live show on the St Mary's Strip. Located between Joey's and Chisme. I enjoy the intimate feel of this place- a small stage with plenty of lounge-like seating- sofas, easy chairs, etc. Lots of places to gather a big group around and take in the tunes. It's cool how the bar has coins lacquered into the bar top so you can check out weird currencies from foreign lands. A numismatist's dream! The bar service was rather slow, and I got overcharged for my drinks/cover. I feel a bit like I got hustled a bit on the bar tab, and if I had paid cash I'd have had less problems. But I should give the benefit of the doubt, and maybe I just wasn't paying attention. The place was clean, and the restrooms were nice. Parking is easy with a lot shared with the other businesses around.

Went there for their 80s night. FALSE advertising. DJ GenX can't transition from one track to another to save his life. You can hear very song that's coming (not in a good way)...might as well just put on YouTube and let people pick their own songs. He played a couple of 80s songs then tried to get away from it by playing modern dance music. I asked if he took song requests and he said he did, asked for Erasure...easy right? Nope. Never got played. But he did play stupid crystal castles and some other dance music...in fact, he completely steered away from 80s altogether and played electronic dance/techno music. Why have an 80s night when you don't play 80s? The drinks were ok, vodka cranberry was very diluted and Dos X were overpriced. The vibe was nice. The music selection by the dj really sucked. They need a better dj that knows how to transition from track to track, cuz that shit was whack af.

A cool spot in SATX. This seems very hipster and trendy from what I could tell. The decor had various music equipment on the walls. There was a band, but oddly, very few people on a Saturday night. That said, we went around 8:30PM...maybe not the coolest time - perhaps it's hoppin' later on? The bartender was attentive, friendly and chatty. I liked the atmosphere. The other folks in the bar seemed friendly. I was mistaken for Jessica.

This bar sucks, this picture of the bartender is the POS that couldn't serve us but looked past us and served other people. 30 minutes waiting is not acceptable by any means.
