The Davenport — Restaurant in San Marcos

The Davenport is fabulous, their drink menu is extensive, and the experience is immeasurable, but I'll try. I've been here several times and each has come with memories that I'll keep forever. Some memories of bad nights, others of great ones, but either way they make great stories! It can be crowded, but somehow you never have to stand at the bar for long. It successfully prices out most college students (which I think is a good thing in a college town) by presenting itself as a high class cocktail bar, because it is. They fill their glasses to the brim with every flavor of liquid courage imaginable and they have every flavor. Some drawbacks are the limited parking, limited indoor seating, and the outdoor seating is plagued by passing trains and loud cars. I understand that the last one is completely unavoidable, but it is the cost of having any business on Guadalupe. I highly encourage everyone to experience the Davenport for themselves because reading reviews can only take you so far. I hope that I see you...

Took a vacation on search of a specific book for my games that I run. Ran into this small place labeled as a gastropub. Walked in and it is definitely a retro feel with the bar and couches inside. The bartender, I believe her name was Adaline, was the best bartender have had in a long time. She offered ideas on what was the best and even a keto grapefruit vodka that they carry which was perfect. Places like this really come down to the people that they hire. The bartender greeted everyone that came in with a smile and even knew to get the bike riders some waters as they were putting their bikes up on the deck before they even stepped foot into the place. I had a handful of drinks and the tostada appetizers and chicken chorizo paella. The cook was from Louisiana and definitely knew what he was doing! The food was absolutely amazing and they even have sharable sizes perfect for a mid day date. All in all, I highly recommend this place for anyone that wants good afternoon vibes while...

The place is very small and seating is limited. Staff is rude! My wife and I walked in. the bar was cluttered. We asked if a seat was taken because it looked like someone was sitting there and it just wasn’t cleaned up yet. His response was yes it’s taken and we looked around and we said it’s taken? and he said yes by her and he points to the bar back. So the short story is we couldn’t sit down because an employee was taking chairs at the bar. He impatiently waited for us to decide what we wanted to drink. We asked for a menu .He grabbed a menu, gave it to us and turned his back to us and started talking to another patron. We decided what I wanted to order and he contenued the conversation for extended amount of time and would not even look at us. My wife and I walked out.. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I went down there street to another bar. Chances R. We received a very warm welcome by Peyton and his staff we drank. we talked. We laughed and...
