What People Are Saying About Polly Esthers

In Short – Located across the street from the Hard Rock Cafe, this Riverwalk club offers three levels of dance music and raucous reveling. This spot includes a '70s disco, an '80s room (Culture Club) and a room with high-energy, hyper-BPM dance music. Expect plenty of barely clad barflies, slick talkers and body-pressing beats. There's always some kind of special for penny pinchers, from no cover nights for Texas residents to $2 drink specials--call ahead for nightly specifics.

FUN PLACE!

I've been to Polly Esther's a few times with my friends and it's always a FUN time. Whether it's the 70s disco music playing or the 80s music on a separate floor, the djs get the crowd going. The drinks are really good as is the general atmosphere. Highly Recommended!
- Pros: Music, Atmosphere

Used to be better

My wife and I went here to close out our vacation during Fiesta. We have been to Polly Esther's before and had a very good time. We both graduated in '87 so we really enjoyed the 80's music on the previous trip. This visit was definitely not as good as last year's. We spent all of our time on the "70s/80s" level, except this year about 75% of the songs played were from the 90's. I had a hard time understanding this since there is another dance level that is dedicated to the 90's. There were also no 'as advertised' $2.50 drink specials. The cover charge was jacked up, too, must have been because of Fiesta...we paid $10 each and, that was before 10pm. Everything on the Riverwalk is $$. Saying all that, we still had a good time. I would recommend to visit at least once...I just won't make it a must visit every time we are in San Antonio.
- Pros: decor, fun crowd
- Cons: high cover charge and mixed drinks, beer is price avg

ladies night? I think not!
by pixiesgirl66 at Citysearch
I was very disappointed after going here on a Wednesday night when it was supposed to be "ladies night" with no cover charge and $2 drinks. First, there was a $5 cover charge and the doorman never heard of this "ladies night". Second, the drinks were $7.50 each and not very good. Third, the 3 levels of "fun" were packed onto 1 floor upon which the dj rotated an occasional 80's song (the whole reason I went was for the 80's floor) followed by 4 or 5 trashy modern radio hits. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this place, if you're looking for a fun ladies night of 80's music. However, if you like trashy, bad music and overpriced drinks, this place is for you!
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: expensive drinks, false advertising, pay to park
