The Bar at Bohanan's

Excellent cocktails and super fast service!! The Crown Old Fashion with extra Orange bitters was fabulous.

We had dinner plans at Bonhanan's Steak House and heard they had an amazing bar with Derrick, being their amazing bartender, so we stopped in about an hour before dinner to enjoy sitting and sipping at his bar.He was quick to greet us, we told him we heard good things and he asked what we liked in the way of spirits and flavors. He then was off to make a couple of outstanding cocktails, some of the best we've had!This place get busy and packed, so get there early if you have dinner reservations elsewhere to ensure you have time to sit and enjoy your cocktail or wine. They also off bar bites and limited entrées here.Highly suggest stopping in, even if only for a drink!

One of our three favorite bars. Another visit this past weekend was wonderful. They take what they do seriously and were able to produce delicious versions of the orders of these craft cocktail enthusiasts. Wonderful evening.

Excellent drinks, service, and atmosphere. You don't have to have a reservation at the restaurant or anything to just be able to come in and enjoy the bar and drinks which is nice. Came here as a first stop to start the night and had a great time. The drinks were smooth, expertly crafted and I left feeling good. It is a bit on the pricier side but you are also at a premium steakhouse place. I always enjoy sitting at the bar to watch the bartenders make drinks and interact with them. They are very knowledgeable here and can make you practically anything you would want. Didn't get to try any of the food the bar area offers this time but good to know for next time! You are able to order small bites from a select menu. There is also loungier seating with comfortable looking chairs. Definitely one of the nicer bars downtown. I will be back!

This is not a normal lively SA riverwalk and I love it for that! They have unique craft cocktails, an extensive wine list, beer, liquor (and more) as well as a unique bar food menu, different than that of the restaurant upstairs.On this particular visit, I was on a mission to get the drink that would also get me their special fiesta medal. (Sorry people, fiesta is now over so you'll have to wait til April 2019 to get one with your drink order!) The drink was made with bourbon, honey and (something else) with a very large ice cube. Perfect for sipping and not overly strong. Great drink! In addition to that drink, I ordered the duck bacon flatbread, which I've had before. Let me tell you, that duck bacon flatbread alone makes me want to come back here. The combination of salty duck bacon with the creamy cheese and sweet pecans all on a flatbread is something I will day dream about later. This place isn't cheap but if you want an experience at a very classy, low key place right next to the riverwalk, this is the place for you.

Bohanan's is already our favorite restaurant in San Antonio, TX. (It's also the best steakhouse in the city).The Bar is just as good if you're looking for a lighter commitment.The menu is smaller of course but of the same high quality as the main restaurant. It's walk-in and first-come -- no reservations.This place is perfect on a late weekday afternoon as a place to relax after work with a little sophistication. It opens at 5pm Tues-Fri and is best in those initial hours when there is a smaller crowd. Since it is more casual there is less of an obligation to dress up so it's fine to go straight from work. Conversely it would also be great as a late night stop for small bites and a quick drink.The Bar is one of the few gems in the city that has a timeless and romantic nostalgia (think Downstairs at the Esquire or SoHo Wine & Martini Bar).We need more places like this.

Whatever you are hoping the bar at Bohanan's to do for you, they will probably do it well. Perhaps you are pregaming for the theatre, or making date night last a little longer after dinner. This evening, we had a sweet tooth, and paired a slice of chocolate mousse cake with a Dominicana cocktail -- an event in itself, with the creamy top, cool sweetness, then a coffee/rum kick. The chairs are comfy, there will probably be jazz playing, and if you ask nicely they might change the channel to the game *you* wanted to watch.

Loved the live Jazz band. Great Saturday night atmosphere with friendly service and impeccable drinks. Night cap...Espresso Martini.

The waiter was fabulous and so was the food and drinks. My husband and I stopped by the bar since their main room was booked. We had a crimson pearl drink and a old fashion. Both were strong and delicious. For starters we had the truffle chips as well as the lollipops. Both were delicious. For the main my husband and I tried the beef back pasta I forgot the name but it was a rich and delicious meal. Lastly the creme brûlée was to die for. Over all a wonderful experience. As for the wait staff they were all very responsive. Our waiter Derrick was amazing and one of the best parts of our meal. He even offered to get us a recipe of the crimson pearl which we also loved. Would totally recommend this place even if it's more causal than the place next door.

Service was good but the Bloody Mary drink was boring. Not very much Bloody Mary mix and wasn't prepared with and celery or olives. Will not order again.
