    The bartenders here know their stuff. Want to try something new? Something classic? They're sure to suggest something you'll enjoy sipping. The relaxing atmosphere at The Pearl make this a favorite.

    This trendy bar is great for waiting for your table to open, or for a night cap with pals. If you like this spot, check out Mahoney's other creations at George's Keep & Green Lantern.

    Place gets real busy but the service is still great. Might take a while to get to order your drink, BUT the staff is amazing and will take care of you.

    I'm not a beer drinker, but I have it on good authority that the devil's backbone on tap will knock you on yo ass ;)

    New bar in the Pearl Brewery. No table service, and it takes FOREVER to get a drink. It took over two hours to order and drink two beers. Hopefully it gets better.

    Worst bouncer ever , super rude and disrespectful , for this type of bar there is no need to have people in "line". We are in San Antonio NOT Miami or NYC .
