The Bouncers whom are black or fake security guards need to be fired they discriminate and harass you happened as soon as we hit the bar. We couldnt sit at the bar per the security guard who made us remove the chairs and place them behind us and he just kept looking over at us and talking to another security officer wanting to start a fight. We always recommend this place but after tonight never again. 03/16/24!

2024 Updated Love the club, the atmosphere, and the staff. However Ive been trying to contact them lately about VIP tables, and theyre happy hours they used to have before. The last two weeks Ive contacted through their website and social media for two separate birthday parties we wanted to have there Left my number. They seen that it because it says seen on my social media messenger..And never get responses back. This put me in a bad position on my birthday. Where I even went there during the day to see if someone was there but they werent. So I had to have my party somewhere else at a restaurant. Then we came and the place had several tables that werent even taken or reserved before at mercaba.Govfigure You got a respond to sell tables. They should work on that. I took one star off because I still like the place and had a good history with them but I really felt like taking two. 2018 Great up scale club. I reccomend reservations with Nathan.

I was bar hopping at the river walk and every bar let me in with a tear in my drivers license. The door guy looked at it, scanned it and brought a manager and said no. Atleast they were nice about it.

Not a classy place at all. The guys working the front door are the kids that never made it past high school. Idiots looking for a fight all the time. I highly recommend you look somewhere else. Had a horrible experience here and did not feel safe.

You know I did love this club but the DJ on this particular night was rude as sugar honey ice tea. He took others request but when I approached him for a simple request he just dismissed me rudely. It s funny because this particular nights they were letting people in free when there is usually a coverage to get in but now I know why. Be fair and get it right.

Went to Merkaba last night. Yall this place is tinnny. Its the size of a taco bell. The dance floor is even smaller. If you like dancing while constantly being pushed in the back by people who are trying to walk by then this is the spot for you. The bartenders are awful. Its like they pick and choose who they want to serve. If you want to get a drink you have to wear lots of gold chains or if youre a girl you have to be a 10. I had 3 male bartenders look me in the eye and still go and help other people who walked up after me. I was bouncing around the bar trying hard to get a drink. My friends and i left without NEVER getting a drink. We were in line 40min. If you want to have a fun night with some drinking and dancing this is NOT the spot. San Antonio has way better spots.

First off I would like to say me and my fiance were in San Antonio for vacation and we wanted to go somewhere nice and hip for new years. We went for the New Years party and we had a blast! We had dinner and they had a live band taking requests to sing any song and they were amazing! Our server was extremely good anytime he noticed that our drink was getting low he would ask us if we were ready for another drink. Everyone there was extremely nice and the atmosphere was definitely amazing! I would recommend this place to anyone!

Update: I was at merkaba, celebrating a friends birthday and when we got there we asked if there was any tables and they said no. Then while we were enjoying our time next to a table we waited for someone to leave they told us someone had just reserved a table and they made us move. That is complete BS and unprofessional. After we had just asked. I knew I should have never come back to this bar. Where they promised gift cards and never come through and I have the emails to prove it. Worst place ever ! DO NOT COME HERE, ITS CROWDED, and not worth it!!!!!! Also I have feeling it was because the people who they moved us for were white and we were not. So my friends and I feel racially discriminated against. I went to merkaba because some friends were there and I decided to meet them. It is definitely not like the photos you see online at least not on a Saturday night. However my issue comes when it was almost two and there was a horrible smell, at first it wasn t that bad but then it got unbearable. It was a a mixture of sewer, and stink bomb. You could not breathe and I threw up in my mouth a few times with how bad it smelled. Everyone in there grabbed their stuff and made a run for the door because it was so bad. I am not sure if a pipe burst, someone has an accident on the dance floor or what exactly happens but I know I won t be back here because the issue was not addressed even when half of the people who were inside were then standing outside. I hope you figure that out and maybe get some air freshener.

Me and my friends came over to San Antonio from Dallas and Missouri for Thanksgiving and we decided to visit the city and check out the parade,while our kids and wives waited for it to start,the dads decided to check the bar accross the street after a good recommendation from a local. Merkaba has a good vibe and good drinks,the bartender miss Kaylee was very nice and helpful,the only issue we had was the lady checking our driver licenses,very aggressive in her way to address and speak to us upon our arrival as if we came to rob the place. As my friend was searching in his wallet for his id,he ask her to be a little patient,she literally told she didnt care and that he had to hurry. She made us fell as if we were not welcome in that establishment. As african americans its common to face that kind of attitude,we consumed our beer and mentioned the incident to the bartender Kaylee who understood and apologized for the incident.

We won a party but the invitation stated there was food. In the past the Howl At The Moon parties included food. Merkaba is a sister bar to Howl At The Moon they should have stated they do not offer the same as Howl At The Moon party packages. I give it two stars because the drinks were good. I would be careful with the parties as well because we did not get to choose between the two bars.

My boyfriend and I were visiting San Antonio for the first time. We were looking for another club we googled but couldn t find it. While driving we saw this club and spoke to the doorman Trent who told us we should come inside and he was definitely right! The drinks are fairly priced and made well. The bartenders are great, the DJ plays diverse music, everyone who works there is amazing (especially Trent) This was such an amazing night we came 2 nights in a row! Plus the second night Trent remembered us and came to say hi. We will definitely be back next time we re in San Antonio

We were all good upsatirs but the music was too loud so we decided to go down stairs where the DJ was playing. Emmet let a white couple in that was also coming from upstairs. As soon as we got to the door he stopped us from going in and said that he got a radio call saying we couldnt get in. This was our first time visiting San Antonio and he ruined our night! Mad that I spent money in this RACIST BAR.
