The Scene – "Thom McAn Shoes" is still etched into the stone entryway, but the only shoes you'll find inside are attached to young professionals on the prowl. Big windows allow passers-by to browse the merchandise before entering. A long, curved bar and curvy furniture break up the boxy nature of the space. Colorful paintings of women in sunglasses dot the walls. Downstairs, a DJ spins a dreamy variety of world music. – – The Draw – The eight-page drink menu offers the first hint that tippling is serious business here. If the Flirtini originally created for Sarah…

Best bar in San Antonio.
by barmaster
Hands down the best bar in San Antonio. A bit smoky at times, but hey it's a REAL bar. Stay away if your looking for some cookie cutter national chain. Here you get great service, the biggest selection I have ever seen, (and I've seen many), and great drinks.
Downstairs is open nights from Wednesday through Saturday. Dance down there if that's your gig. Upstairs stays chill. Nothing else in this town is even close.
- Pros: Selection - Service - Location - Drinks
- Cons: None

VERY DISAPPOINTED
by larjay62
Previous reviews rated this a top martini bar, but that is far from it. Sits on a downtown corner, barely the size of an average living room. Upon opening the door we were greeted with the most aweful smoke smell I've ever experienced in a bar or restaurant. It was so strong, it stayed on our clothes despite the brief time that we stood in the doorway. Either their smoke eliminators were broken, or they didn't have any. Smoking doesn't bother me much, but this place did. That being said, the place also looked unkept and dingy, not at all as described in other reviews. We will not return.

Davenport has it all
by lday_wi
Great place to unwind with friends after work, or to head to for a night on the town. The upstairs offers areas to sit and chill out with friends. Downstairs has a full service bar with a larger area that turns into a dance floor by the end of the night. What I like about this place is that it is definitely not as pretentious as some bars try to be, has a great variety of music and drinks, and I always have a great time here.
