The Cherrity Bar

The Cherrity Bar is all about charity. A percentage of everything you order here goes to a chosen charity. Usually, you can ask the staff for the name, or it is posted the name of the charity. Food here was very good, especially for their happy hour. I enjoyed a margarita, some Yakitori and charred edamame. We got to sit outside and, thankfully, the weather was perfect, not too cold not too hot. The bar looks like a little house in the middle of a street, close to downtown. And looks can be deceiving, because it seems like there shouldn't be a bar in this area, but there it is and its full glory. Prices were definitely affordable, especially for their happy hour.

I finally got around to trying Cherrity bar and I guess better late than never. I came in during happy hour and took advantage of their food specials, so I ordered the pickled plate sampler, some yakatori chicken, and a beer.The bar was not full so the bartender was chit chatting with me and was super friendly. After the food came out, I really enjoyed the different pickled veggies as the brine they used was seasoned well and not too salty. The yakatori chicken was nice and tender and crusted with seasme seeds, very tasty. After eating, I ordered an Old Fashion and was not let down. It was made the way is should be and made for a great first experience at Cherrity Bar. Overall, I really enjoyed the vibe and food/drink offerings, so I look forward to my next time here.

So very sad that a bar who supports charity does not support our young entrepreneurs . Yesterday our family was there for dinner which was excellent and when we finished we noticed there was an Anime Conference of sorts on their patio. The teenagers were very anxious to go and look around. When we proceeded to the patio, we were told there was a $5 cover charge per person. That is really awful to charge your patrons after we just paid the bill:( I found out by talking to the vendors that they paid $75 each to display their merchandise and not one person came out to look. The restaurant was packed so obviously the cover charge was the issue.Seems very greedy to me that the owner would not only charge them to display but also charge people to look. VERY FEW came only the few just there for the conference, the restaurant patrons were effectively barred, all the vendors lost money.

We love love love Cherrity Bar and everything they stand for. The ramen is great, and customer service is very good as well. We love coming here with the family, and the location is very easy to find. There is out door seating and making a reservation saved us some time.

They stay open pretty late and we felt like ramen so we walked in over. The server was really cool. He chatted with us and when he realized that this was our first visit, he sent over an order of the Charred edamame gratis for being first time customers. If you bring someone who has never been there they will also do the same thing for them. The charred edamame was incredible. Toasty, salty and delish. We then ordered the Kushikatsu sampler. This delightful dish came with skewers of pork, chicken, and the star of the show, shiitake mushrooms that were amazing. My buddy got the tonkotsu ramen which was pretty good. I'm very picky about my ramen having been in Japan several times but as for the tonkotsu ramen I've had in the states, this was pretty darn good. We had a couple local beers and they were cold and tasty. Overall I was very pleased. Would return if I'm in the area. 4.5/5.

18 Apr 2024My sister and I went here after attending Fiesta Fiesta at the Alamodome. It IS right across the street from the dome. Another draw was the karaoke that starts at 6:30pm. Oh, and it's happy hour until 7pm. A lot of the food (mostly small plates) is half price during happy hour. Our bill was about $21 for two 16 oz beers and two small plates. One plate was grilled slices of mushroom. The slices looked like steak and were very tender. The fried mushrooms were presented as small chicken on a sticks. Also tasty. Because it was our first time, they through in a small bowl of edamame. A sauce accompanied our plates that was also very tasty. The downer was what seemed like hundreds of flies tormenting the customers seated on the porch. One of the porch fans did not work, which didn't help the situation. An employee came out after a time and placed citronella candles on the porch banisters. Helped a little. Then came the mosquitos. Sigh. The server Destiny was great. She brought me a glass of ice for my not-so-cold beer. Checked on us periodically. Did well Thanks. I'll bet this is a great fall/winter destination.

kuriya aka the cherrity bar was an amazing place to dine at. i loved every moment. the place has a distinct aesthetic, it felt i was in a video game, more specifically life is strange. anyways!! the food was outstanding. the ramen was giving, everything had so much flavor. i got the tonkatsu ramen because you can't go wrong with that. every ingredient played a significant role into the dish and i love love love. thank you!!

Looking for a local asian restaurant to take my friend out and Yelp led me to this restaurant. You could dine inside or on the patio. My friend and I ate on the patio, which was very beautiful with the lights and the heater, but not fun with the mosquitoes bitting my feet. If you're wearing open toes shoes and/or a dress, I recommend dining inside. I read through several reviews that raved about the charred edamame. I mean, it's just edamame, what's so special about it. I placed an order for it (and the kind server, upon learning it was our first visit at the restaurant, gave us the appetizer on the house--so kind and sweet!). O..M..G... the charred edamame is just out of this world!! It is covered in this sauce that is comprised of sesame oil and another flavour that I can't quite point out, but regardless, it was super delicious and the charred edamame did not taste burnt. We also got the pork & kimchi dumplings that had great flavours and super tasty. The kashi sampler was a great way to sample a variety of the appetizers. They also have Happy Hour between 4-7pm, which gave 50% off all small things; I definitely took advantage of it. My friend was super addicted to the spicy mayo sauce and we asked for more. Upon paying the bill, I noticed they charged $1 for the extra sauce, so this is a note to y'all that sauces are not unlimited and they do charge you. My friend got the pork yakisoba and I got the vegetable miso ramen. I didn't get to try her yakisoba, but the vegetable miso ramen was absolutely delicious. Flavours were on point and I was surprised at how well done the dish was. Overall, I highly recommend dining at The Charity Bar and have to hit it up the next time I'm in San Antonio! =)

First time dining here and it was amazing!! The happy hour is such a great deal- 50% off small plates and $6 select cocktails (paloma, old fashioned, daiquiri) plus some beers and wines. The paloma was sweet and the daiquiri was more on the sour side. The starters were overall great! Really liked the texture and taste of the karaage, and the slider were very big and filling! The niku dango were also very filling and comes with a side of rice!! My favorite was the charred endamame!For the main dishes, we got the vegetable double miso ramen. The beoth was super rich, and the vegetables were juicy, especially the mushrooms! The pork kimchi fried rice was also filling and tasty!The service was great, and the restaurant itself is very homy and artsy with local art that rotates! They also give each person a coin that you can place for their donation box. They have a ton of games in the corner of one of the rooms too! Overall, a super cozy place and very friendly staff! The parking lot is located across the street (there was no sign but it's on Montana street). You can call if you get lost!

The service and ambience is great! I found this restaurant through yelp and it wasn't what I expected. It's right across a stadium, making it a great place for people to get food after an event. We were a bit skeptical about the parking but you'll be fine as long as you park diagonal from the restaurant in the rocky area. The inside was very American and you wouldn't guess that they serve Japanese food! Since it was our first time here, we got charred edamame on the house! Also during happy hour, all their small bites are 50%. The food was a little more on the salty side but still good! They are known for their ramen, but my dad wanted a rice bowl instead. I would come again to try their ramen.
