This place is way overpriced!!!!!!!!!!!. My wife and I went to this bar for drinks and karaoke last night and were greatly disappointed. I drank two double gin and tonics and my wife had two fuzzy navels. I ordered double tank and tonics and it tasted like there was no gin in my drink at all. I finished my watery drinks and went to pay the tab, when i was slapped in the face with a $44 bill. I think it is pretty bad when the drinks here cost two dollars more then it does at the ATT center when watching a spurs game. A double tanqueray at the games cost about $12.50. The Karaoke was ok if you dont mind too much treble and a hissing sound coming from the speakers. My wife and I went to a small bar by our house after and I ordered the same drink. The cost at this bar was $8 and it tasted like a double tank and tonic. In all, I would not recommend this bar to anybody, unless you want to get ripped off with overpriced watery drinks and a slow staff with no enthusiasm. The bar we ended up at seemed like a little hole in the wall from the outside, but we were welcomed with a smile and got our moneys worth for what we ordered.

Rip off servers. Servers charge 1 extra dollar per drink just to bring it to your table....then expect a tip. For instance: If you go to the bar for a white wine and a red wine you will be charged $12.00 if a server brings it to the table for you the same thing will cost you $14.00. And after that they expect a TIP?

Still the best bar in San Antonio!. A large group of us essentially lived at Martinis on Friday and Saturday night during law school. We've been in Dallas for the last two years and recently made a last minute trip down to SA specifically to see Wayne and the band. The experience was just as incredibly fun as it used to be. Wayne even pulled the wife and I on stage for our anniversary and gave us a shout out for coming in from Dallas.

I wish there was a way to recreate this bar near our house but Wayne is the bar. Here's to Johhny Cash, the Beatles, Neil Diamond, Steve Miller, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Jerry Jeff Walker, Elvis, and on and on and on . . .

As for the service, we have never once had an issue in the sixty or seventy times we have been there. In fact, the service is usually quite excellent.

For anyone complaining about drink prices, take note that there is no cover for what amounts to an incredible musical act.

There is more than 1 Martini's. From some of these "Review's" discriptions, I think they are talking about "Martini Ranch" not "Wayne Harpers Martini's". Some of these people are confused.

Martini's is in a shopping strip, behind North Star Mall.

Fri and Sat are Wayne's night, there is no karoke, they don't have food, what they do have is wonderful entertainment in which you cannot sit still or resist singing along....Loudly!

No review has mentioned that the songs he does are not only very good, but he is doing the impressions of the original singer (ie Willy Nelsion, Neil Diamond). It is really cool, when he does a song that was originally recorded by many artisits and he changes the voices as he sings.

Yes, I do agree their drink prices are a little steep(watch for specials!) and you do have to watch your tab (but you should watch it anywhere). And, if it is any indication, you do need to get there before eight thirty to get a seat or table, the place gets really, really packed.

This place is much more fun and exhilirating on a date than dinner and a movie! And costs about the same for a longer period of time!!

Took Forever to log on here. This is the concept of the best entertainer in San Antonio. A Vegas lounge show and San Antonio prices!

Wayne does his show on Fri and Sat. But there is entertainment every night.

My friends from La Hacienda Los Barrios often stop by there after work.

I have nothing but admiration for the club. (Check it out for yourself and you'll be hooked. :)

This is "Vegas Baby Vegas" right here behind North Star Mall.

Rip off bar should be the name. Don't take my word for it. Walk inside and see the hustle of barely covered waitresses. If they don't make their sales, they get fired.

Someone called Annette is in charge of them. You get the feeling she'd like all the waitresses to be topless. But not herself. She's a little to proud of her implants.

The music is tired, the band looks tired.

Nothing wrong with old guys playing music, just be honest about it.

Awful Experience!. This is the worst bar! The management was rude and ugly with my party when we asked about our tabs. First off, the martinis were 10.50 each, then when the tab was reviewed, I found drinks added that were not ordered by us. The bartender was rude to us and she allowed our waitress to charge what she wanted. On top of all that, we were charged 25 for gratuity. The entertainment was mediocre, not worth the the trouble. Never come here!
