What People Are Saying About Durty Nelly's Irish Pub
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Despite the name, you don't have to be Irish to enjoy Durty Nelly's. This drinking establishment is widely known for having one of the best beer selections in San Antonio. Situated on the Riverwalk, Durty Nelly's attracts quite a bit of pedestrian traffic ready for a cold one; consequently, it can be very busy during the tourist season. It also fills up quickly on regular weekends, so be sure to get there early.
Be Careful!
by RachelRedding
We love the idea of a piano pub. Just be careful of when you visit. We have visited several times a year for the past 10 years. In the early years the piano players didn't change much. It seems over the past three years they keep changing piano players (makes you wonder why?).
Some of the piano players are more risque than the other ones. We have NO problem when songs or jokes have sexual innuendos but when they are blunt and disgusting and then you throw in some cursing the piano player has crossed the line.
Calling beforehand to see whose playing. Avoid going when Keith is playing.
And the Guiness flows freely here so try it - it won't be staggnant like other places.
- Pros: Live Music, Right on Riverwalk, Flowing Guiness
- Cons: Adult Material, Sometimes NC-17 Rated
big let down

We came from out of town and went because it was St. Patrick's Day. Smelled like poop-can't imagine anyone actually eating here-especially since the menu I saw listed $15 for a burger! We just wanted to sing one song with the piano player...which we did as we drank overpriced, weak drinks. Loved the handlebar mustach on the waiter! Sorry, that wasn't enough to get over the smell of feces.
- Pros: right on riverwalk
- Cons: smelled like sewage! 'nuff said
