Serna's Backyard Sports Bar

About the Company

rating: 4.3

Neighborhood sports bar. Live entertainment: karaoke, DJs, and live music. LARGE outdoor deck (40 x 50) shaded by our large oak trees. We show all the big games from each major sport (with sound for the REALLY big games/fights & Cowboys games). If you aren’t from our area, that’s ok! We’ll do all we can to make sure you can see your favorite team. No food here 😞 but you can feel free to bring/order whatever you like and have it delivered (plus a bbq pit you can use upon request!) Children (under 21) aren’t permitted UNLESS they are with their PARENT or LEGAL GUARDIAN and can provide identification (And for the sake of the kiddos, they can’t drink & we ask that you have them home by sundown). Nice dogs are allowed out in the deck on a leash.

This place is the perfect combination of gritty charm and laid-back vibes. Whether you ride a Harley or just appreciate the culture, this bar welcomes everyone with open arms. The drink selection is solid and affordable, and the staff is friendly, while the music keeps the energy just right. Its the kind of place where you can have a great conversation or just relax after a long ride. Definitely a hidden gem for anyone looking for an authentic, no-frills experience

The bar was decent, had a couple drinks, but i recommend using cash only. 37 minutes after I left someone tried making a $150 purchase with my card. I guess they thought i was going to be too drunk to notice.

Now, if you re looking for a hole in the wall bar, this place is pretty cool. At night there is a more of a younger crowd that s rowdy, we re not really into that because we re older people however, the drinks are made well when they are given to you and the owner is the best person. He is so sweet and he offers you food. What a generous thought to do for your customers. I can t always say the same about the bartenders. Every time we go in there there is a bartender. Really nice and attentive and are meant to be bartenders others look like they hate being there and they barely give you any customer service until you ask. I need to start getting the bartenders names that way I can complement the ones that are actually doing their job.

This place is really chill. They have pool tables and music inside the bar. On occasion they have an outdoor band and it is really fun to relax outside with some drinks while listening to the bands. Parking: This place is could use some more parking considering how many people visit here but unfortunately there isn t space to make more on their property. We usually park across the street in someone else s business

Not sure why there s so many 5 stars. Makes you wonder who s writing the reviews. Serena s is a dive bar. It s dark and dirty. Pool Is free but they re missing pool balls. Also the staff is rude and incompetent. The owner Dan, what a joke. He s drunk and obnoxious. I used to go to Serena s a lot since it s so close to my house but it really went down hill. I also make sure to tell friends and family not to go there, it s not worth your time or money. Honestly if they got better staff and cleaned up the place it wouldn t be half bad.

Almost no parking so it s visit at your own risk when having to park across the street and crossing over a busy street to grab a beer. Super laid back vibe. Outdoor patio is cool when the Texas weather is cooperating but if it s not, there s some pool tables, dart boards, and some tables inside. Very neighborhood vibe. Everyone seems to know each other and if you re not a regular- they know it. Good to know this bar is in my backyard but it probably won t be my first stop.

Great place, great bartenders, great atmosphere and awesome locals. Love this place. They even have a great deck in the back of the bar. Only two things I have to say bad about the place. Is they dont have any speakers on the deck to hear the music from inside. And the parking needs to be worked on. Other than those two things. Its a great little dive bar to hang out at. I also think that the beer and drinks are very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place.

If I could give this bar no stars I would. The owner Dan likes to offer all the pretty ladies free drinks to get them on his drunken level. And when you refuse he becomes angry and loud and puts his hands in others personal space. The bartenders are no help since they keep serving him and think its a joke how he makes people feel uncomfortable. Worst bar experience in san antonio. Save yourself the trouble and discomfort. No free drink is worth it.

This is the only bar within miles of our house. Its your average dive bar. Sad the beer taps arent working. Prices were pretty average. We were there on karaoke night, which was fun. Parking is definitely an issue. We tried going again last night, but there was no where to park so we went somewhere else. They have a nice outdoor area with corn hole and a stage. Id like to go some night they have live music. Crossing fingers therell be somewhere to park.

Free pool and u can meet new friends since the place is small everyone is approachable. Im going there for the next cowboy game. Everytime they score they charge a dollar less for ur beer
