I love love love Sparky s Pub and the rest of gay strip in San Antonio. Great bartenders (especially, Rolando), and the drinks are strong and affordable. SA is a late night crowd. So, if you are there during the week for work or something, don t expect it to be busy until late. Also, be sure to checkout the King of the Grill food truck right outside. It is open weekends and some weeknights. It s great!

Recently went out 08/14 Monday evening and was possibly drugged or was slipped some kind of stimulant that made me black out. I ordered a diet coke (no alcohol) and that is the last thing I remember. Please be careful if youre going out make sure you have friends with you and a safe ride. I was incoherent and somehow made it home in tact but I am still shaken by the experience. Just be safe. It could have been passed to me at Pegasus and didnt hit until I got to sparkys.

So, the pub itself is good. The service seems fine, and the drinks are on par with other places around it, but it is located in this weirdly sectioned off area. They have an ID check on the way in, but also checkpoints in the middle of the area (because multiple bars share the closed off space). This may sound like a small gripe, and it is, except you can t take drinks between venues. So what s the point of the gated off, secure area? Maybe they don t want to share cups? They should also invest in nicer fences chain link for the prices they re charging per drink is pretty laughable. It gets crowded on weekends, which is a good thing, but don t expect prompt service. Also, they charge for water. Only bottled water is available. I hope they have a good legal team because overserving without giving people access to water is a big risk. Anyway, we had a good time. Just be aware that it s far from perfect. They know that, and they don t seem to care. That said, it s an easy place to have a good time all things considered.

This place is very fun especially after 11:30 pm on weekends starting Friday but when I went early around 8:30 pm there is this short haired Hispanic lady named Mimi who can come across as sour or in a bad mood, I sat on the stool and then she literally just looked at me and I ordered drink and all I ordered was a Dos X and gave her 5 dollar bill and and then gave her a three dollar tip and didn t even say thank you she just took the money and didn t even look at me. Normally bartenders are very appreciative they might even do a sign language kind of gesture if they have a mask on obviously or you can tell by their acknowledgment but at the same time she was just very sour and seems like she had a bad attitude. But overall the club is very nice and it is a nice bar and there s even a very nice wine bar as well and the other bartenders for sure are very sweet very attentive and appreciative for sure.

One of the best bars on this strip. Bathrooms are all genders. Many bars so theres rarely a long wait for a drink. For smokers, theres a back patio and a cigarette vending machine in the front. For coffee drinkers, theres a coffee/snack/wine bar.
