  Limited drink choices and shady bar practice by night bartender.
  
  ****Warning*** long rambling post ahead do not attempt unless you have time to read everything.
  
  To start with they did not have any food choices at least on Tuesday nights. As for drinks I realize that a lot of bars do not want to make a complex mix drink at night when they are busy but this place was dead when I was there. Being reasonable I first asked if they had Michelada mix and the bartender said no. Ok, first bar I have been to in San Antonio that did not have Michelada mix but - ok. So then I said let me get a Bloody Mary. The guy gave me a weird look and said “I said we don’t have the mix”. Dude please tell me you know the difference between Michelada mix and Bloody Mary mix. I realize they both have tomato juice as a main ingredient but come on now you are a bartender! Anyways, then I said let me get a Black Velvet until I realized they did not have cider on tap and would be charging me for two separate drinks. So then I just settled for some cheap beer that they had a lot of.
  
  After drinking the beer I went to pay my tab and the guy states you need a minimum of $10 to use your card. Come on man it is 2018 who carries cash. I could pay you with bitcoin if you wanted an alternative to card but that was a laughable thought. He never said at the beginning I needed a minimum of $10 to use my card or I would have never of got my 4th choice beverage. No big deal I said ok let me get my friends drinks as well that way I would have over $10. He said nope already been adding her drinks throughout the night to her card. What really man you charged her card each time she ordered a drink or do you do like most places and close out the tab at the end placing the final charge then. To make the $10 minimum charge he offered to up-charge me for a water making it $5 so I would hit the $10. No thanks to getting ripped off so I asked for the strongest beverage I could get for the $5 and he gave me some old strawberry hot drink. I took it – laughed - paid my bill and started to walk off until he told me friend she only needed $5 for her to close out her tab. As you can tell from my long post I am not happy and will not be returning.
  
  You guys need to get your stuff together or you will be like the last place that hung their sign at that address and shutting down soon!
