The Thursty Turtle — Restaurant in San Antonio

I have enjoyed my visits to The Thursty Turtle. A roomy and nicely kept establishment with friendly staff and patrons the atmosphere is warm and the vibe is welcoming. Gathering with friends or just riding solo the music is good and loud enough to have to lean into the cutie you came in with lol. Young and old balance the ages here. Not one way or the other. It seems everyone blends together well here. Doesn't feel like a judgment zone of any one genre but a sweet mix of everyone and every flavor. Pool tables are open to play without league interference and dartboards to hit the sweet spot of friendly competition. Trivia night. Yummy popcorn too. Enjoy. Located within 410 tucked just enough off the main highway surrounded by residential homes this is a nice spot to be yourself. Outside patio offers us smokers the...

I am adamantly for support of local small businesses, especially local dive bars in town—they’re one of the best places to meet some of the best locals.

So we stumbled upon this bar. Which we actually pass buy quit often. Especially since we stop at the gas station right next to it. I liked the layout. There is bar seating, plenty of tables around, lots of TV screens, a pool area, dart boards, and outside seating. I liked the drink specials! You definitely want to try the Jäegermeister bombs! Throw it back fast. Lol 😂 The pool tables here are different from others I’ve played at. You pay for the amount of games you want to play. For example: 5 games for 5 dollars, but you can also play more such as 10 or 20 games I think. Don’t quote me on that lol. Service was good after we finally got a bartender to help us. The music and atmosphere was very chill which I enjoyed. Be advised the drinks are a little pricey but worth it for a...
