Jaime's Place — Restaurant in San Antonio

We did not eat food at Jaime’s because we had “reserved VIP seating” which when we arrived we were placed in a non VIP near the street which were added after purchased tickets were bought for the special event of Little Joe 85th birthday. My son paid in advance and reserved through event rite on July 11, 2025 first day of purchasing. He bought ViP seating, bought 6 tickets, over 300 dollars. We arrived and we were seated near the street.( Not VIP) Added seating. 😡We were given a verbal the the owner would compensate 60.00 back refund for the issue and he offered shots which were never received… This was my first time going to Jaime’s and I understand it was a big event but if you pay for a reserved spot you should get a reserved spot. My son reserved it on the first day of the event. For the owner to say he would do something then not follow thru is bad business. My opinion he is not a good business man. So, my point is… there are many venues around San Antonio and if the owner is willing to take your money but not be held accountable for what he is promoting on that ticket then why put them there. He just took the money and didn’t give a shit when you arrived or what you paid for. I personally will never go to Jaime’s again. I didn’t appreciate our special occasion to be mishandled by all the incompetence of his door greater, his bar tenders were rude. I asked for a mango bottle drink with Taji and the thin woman with dark black hair put salt I told her I had asked for Taji and she wiped it off with a dirty rag. I gave no tip. The owner bring nonchalant about the whole issue. Is not good as a business owner. I spoke to other people that were screwed with the same issue. The young girl helping was arguing with her about the birthday shot she was entitled to. VIP ticket holders were to get. Jaime never brought and I ask young girl for and we never received from the owner as mentioned. I am told his business has been there 5 years, I for one never went there and will not go again. I believe with all the people that were there he was over capacity putting everyone at risk for a...

Jaime’s is an oasis in the middle of the live music desert known as San Antonio. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you just walked into a happy, family reunion. It feels like a big hug, a refuge from the anxiety ridden existence so many are living with today.

Bringing in acts from the best soul labels on the planet (Colemine and Daptone) is a huge gold star for Jaime and his crew. SA has a really hard time bringing these bands in as they most often play Austin, where the bands are easily selling out. The fact is however, that SA has a thirst for latin, blues and soul and someone is finally focusing on introducing us to these genres.

Beer by the bucket and pitchers of draft are a steal and a full bar awaits those who prefer something stronger or fruitier. The food is reasonable and Jaime patrols the entire scene like a happy shark. He manages this venue, from bar backing to finding parking spots. He runs a tight ship and it really shows.

I can’t think of any place in SA I would rather see a show. Bring your own folding chairs if you like, or come early and grab a seat close to the stage.

The only thing I could ask for is that they put out multiple water stations, away from the outside ordering area.

Love the Blues and Soul fest and can’t wait to see y’all in a week or so for The Altons and...

I don't write many reviews, but I just felt like I had to share this piece of information. Don't get me wrong Jamie's Place is a real nice place to hang out the atmosphere is really nice especially for being in the hood, But you may want to take in consideration any sold out event or overcrowded event control your drinking because the bathroom situation is VERY VERY POOR, We were there last night for the EZ Band sold out show and we had to stop drinking because of the bathroom situation, there is only 2 Port-a-Potties on that property and the line is overwhelming, I don't know what the capacity was, but there should be a rule on how many Port-a-Potties you should have to accommodate your guest, I'm almost positive & sure that there is a rule or a ordinance, but Mr.Jaime that's not an area you would want to cut back on funds. You got room on that back fence to put 10-15 stalls. I strongly recommend you do that on the next event. otherwise you lost two good clients. Just be a little considerate I'm sure you have your private bathroom inside that building, On the next sold out event midway through the show why don't you go and sit down on one of those port-a-potties & see what it's like and see how these ladies are getting humiliated at your place I...
