What People Are Saying About Bonham Exchange

In Short – Since 1891, this Alamo-adjacent building has housed a number of establishments, including a German athletic club and the USO during WWII. In 1981 it became the Bonham Exchange, with five bars and three dance floors--three of the five bars are named after Alamo heroes. Worth mentioning are the Travis bar, which offers a view of the main ballroom's dance floor, and the Gymnasia, which has a capacity of over 1,000 and has previously featured Debbie Harry and Tina Turner.

Can I get an
by nawlinz
This was the first gay bar I visited on my trip to San Antonio. It looked very promising with the amount of space and multiple dance floors. After a while the crowd started showing up and that's when things took a turn for the worse. My partner and I was bumped, shoved, and pushed so much and only about 3 or 4 people said excuse. The dance floors were horrible. Just inside the entrance, the bar on the left hand side was crowded to capacity with great music. The other two dance-floors offered much more space but the music left a lot to be desired. There were way more straight people than gay people in the club the whole while we were there. The rudeness of the crowd along with the majority of straight people made this club experience very uncomfortable.
- Pros: great drinks, grill in the back patio
- Cons: rude customers, more of a straight club vibe

Great music
by iguerra
I Love the music. This is a place you can go if you don't want to be judge. You don't have to worry about any cheesy pick up lines from drunk people,....unless if that's what you like.
- Pros: Great music
- Cons: Having to go up and down the stairs
