The Watering Hole

Avoid. nothing about this place is worth visiting. The staff, the atmosphere, the pool table, the chairs, the drinks,... ALL TRASH

Your bartender Sofia blows. Non attentive. If you guys just wanted to cater to the regulars you should close off the bar to just that.

We were bar hopping in the area the other night and this bar was the bottom of our list. As soon as we walked in, it smelled like someone had done a poor job of cleaning up vomit. The bartender was sweet- one of the stars is for her! While she may have been sweet, the drinks were too strong and the coke in my drink was flat to boot. We stayed outside to consume our drinks. I was ogled by middle aged men the whole time I was walking in to use the facilities (very clean in there, another star for that) so, ladies- don't come alone. It looked like it could be a really fun place but I could not get over the stench and the bad drinks.

Going to give it to you straight. I started coming here about a month ago and I loved it initially because the bartenders were so nice. I live in Austin now, so when I come to San Antonio I love to visit dive bars. Today, I went to The Watering Hole.... it's a Saturday.... it's dead for a Saturday. There is music on the Jukebox and I decided to play music and pay extra to put my music next in line. My songs get skipped mid song and the bartender (woman) plays it off like I didn't understand the process. The jukebox doesn't skip songs mid song! You skipped it. You lied AND you tried to make me feel like it wasn't a big deal. I paid extra money to have my song next. Fuck this place. :-) Go to Fourth Quarter, which is in the same area. They have great drink specials and their bartenders welcomed me with open arms.

Cool little bar the wife and I tried out last night. I'm kind of an anal bartender so this may not seem important to some but I noticed the following: I ordered a Lynchburg lemonade (the bartender didn't know what that was so I had to tell her) & wife got a vodka cran. First, she scooped ice with the glasses. You NEVER scoop ice with the glass the drink will be served in. 2nd, she held our glasses by the top of the mouth of the glass. You NEVER do that. Nobody wants your germs. Not huge deals but it's just common sense. I'm on vacay so I probably wouldn't come back but I have to say the only things that impressed me were how they dont charge cover for fights and coronas on bottle are only $1It's just another bar.

I love going in after a crazy day and feeling at home.! I love the staff always a fun time..!!!!

Bartender was very attentive! This was a great place to escape the crowd and enjoy a great drink and shots ! If you go ask for dorian or kate

I enjoy the watering hole very attentive and friendly staff with great environment. Reminds me of a hometown bar. I enjoy steak night and karaoke on Saturday nights

this is hands down the best bar in San Antonio . I've brought friends here from out of the country and they say it's the best bar they've ever been to. this bar has the best looking bartender's , 5 star service , and top of the line drinks . i would recommend this bar to my great grandparents if they were still alive . come check it out , you won't regret it

I love the atmosphere and the people here, june has been serving me lately she is a new bartender and she is AMAZING !!!!! best service I've ever gotten from here. Ask for the drink "bend me over" she makes it the best!!
