This past Saturday I took a group of my family to Bar America that came from out of town. There were 9 of us. The night started out great. The bartenders were quick but depending on which bartender we got the prices were different. The atmosphere was nice, but the manager, Michelle was extremely rude. One of my family members had just turned 21. She had too much to drink and got sick in the restroom. She came back to the table and we called Uber to come pick us up. While waiting, she went back to the restroom with another person from our group. She came back to the table and a minute later the manager approached her and told her to follow her. She followed her and two other people from our group also followed her. Michelle, the manager proceeded to berate and humiliate my 21 year old family member instructing her to clean up her own mess. At that point she began to cry. Her mother in law took the mop from Michelle and began cleaning and Michelle began scoldi g her saying that the 21 year old needs to clean up after herself and was fully capable of doing it herself. She began lecturing my 21 year old family member and continued to embarrass her I. Front of other customers that were in the restroom and waiting in line. Needless to say, we left and none of us will ever be back. No one should be treated the way they were treated. I have seen many people get sick in a bar establishment and NEVER have I witnessed a manager or employee make someone clean up their accident much less talk to them the way Michelle did. If you do not like your job, LEAVE. Do not mistreat people because you do not like your job and all that comes with it!

Bar America is a total dive bar with cheap beers (no liquor) and a great atmosphere. My friends and I like to grab the booth by the front door and watch people as they walk by. The waitresses are attentive but not overbearing. The juke box is the biggest bang for your buck in town and full of dope old school hitmakers, like Frank Sinatra, Bob Wills, Ray Charles, Freddy Fender, TX Tornados, George Strait, and even some Tejano artists. There are also a few pool tables, which are also cheap. I love that I can have a great time for $10-20 tops. If you like hoity-toity bars, this place is not for you. Otherwise, grab a Lonestar and enjoy a good time with friends. Parking can be challenging, although you can sometimes find a spot on a nearby side-street. Avoid this place on First Fridays though, as parking is a nightmare and its packed to the gills.

Went here to celebrate my brothers birthday on Sat 10/29/16. (BIG MISTAKE) Although the staff were dressed up for Halloween and the DJ that played later on in the eve was good. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK!!!!!!!!!! The service SUCKED and the drinks didnt seem like they had alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We kept trying to flag staff down to order drinks, they would look at us and kept walking or doing nothing! Most of the time they would be behind the bar talking. I finely had to go up to the bar and DEMAND service. This seamed to help but for only about 30mins. to an hour and it was back to being ignored! Worst service EVER!!!!!

I liked this place when I got there first time but the second time when Ive been there, I left my 3/4 full glass of drink at the Bar to smoke a cigarette outdoor, when I got back, my glass was not there anymore!! I asked bartender about it and she was like you shouldnt leave it here without letting us know that you would be back!!? I was like what do you mean? There is an almost full glass of drink and you just cleaned it up?! And she was like well, when there is no one there well take it away! You should have told us that youll be back for it!?! And that was the most wired thing Ive ever hear from a bartender!!!?!?!

What happen to bar America?? It used to be so chill and had that hometown feel. Now the place sucks. Super packed in there and you cant go up to the bar and get a drink. You have to be in a certain spot to order a drink. Im literally right in front of the register at the bar and they tell me I have to move over two feet to order a drink. The place is ridiculous now. Never going back. Its a shame cause it was a nice spot and there must be a different owner cause its being ruined.

I have lived downtown for 5 years now and this has been consistently one of my favorite places to visit. The beer is always good and cold. The food is always hot and tasty. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. This is a staple of the Southtown community and continues to be the best place to stop in any day of the week. If your ever close by you should check it out (and by close, I mean within 100 miles)!

This place has $1 lonestar tall boys for happy hour. Crazy! When you want to switch it up, they have about 10-15 beers on tap. Their food is also good. Everyone liked the brisket nachos. The only downside is the limited seating in the indoor area.

Gathering place for neighborhood OGs and recently arrived hipsters, and everyone in between. Friendly blue collar types mix with friendly white collar types. Its not unusual for someone to tell you her abuelo used to drink here back in the day.

Been to lots of places in San Antonio and this place is by far the best! Staff is excellent, place is always clean, and the music is great! Oh and btw the food is a must have! Dont take my word for it stop by and try it for yourselves!!

Bar is usually pretty busy on the weekends. There are plenty of beer choices and the prices are pretty fair. Theres even a back patio with a cash only bar that has tables to sit. Only downside is the bathrooms are pretty small.

Used to be an amazing dive bar, but lately it has exploded in popularity. The ambience was replaced by a crowd of wannabes and poorly executed drinks. I ordered an old fashioned and got a cup of pure whiskey without any flavor.

Definitely a stop you want to make while visiting the King Williams area ! Great bartenders and all the beer selection makes for a great night! Love the atmosphere... Put this one on your list on your next Pub Crawl!

TINY 6oz CUPS !!! Little bitty tiny 6oz DISPOSABLE cups for mix drinks, yet same price as other places for 12oz. Also theres no wall in mens RR stall. Poor guy was taking a dump when I walked in and saw everything

Pretty loud crazy group of people there, but they are definitely enjoying themselves. Fun place if you want to go somewhere where you cant hear anyone talk but you just want to drink and dance and be stupid.

Good place to watch soccer, but weirdly large signs are hanging in front of the television obscuring the views. There is outdoor seating, but youre trapped in an enclave that you cant see out of.
