My wife and I have lived here for three years now and unfortunately we are about to transfer back to Seattle, WA. but we have really enjoyed our visits to Durty Nelly's Irish Pub and we will never forget it. I would take a vacation just to come back. By the way, the piano player who looks like Bruce Willis's name is Kevin. Great place, great guy! Everyone who has come to visit us during our stay in San Antonio has fallen in love with the place including my in-laws (in their 70's). It's a bit raunchy sometimes but I think the piano player knows every fight song from every college in the nation and every military theme song. If you are here, visit, stay, drink some beer, have some peanuts but above all, have fun!
Pros: Definitely Thumbs up!
Cons: A little slow in the mid afternoon

Irish pub, with piano music you can sing along to. Peanut shells cover the floor, and you can expect your usual pub brews. Its right on the riverwalk, so your bound to run into other people you know that are cruising the riverwalk. Come with some friends and have a great night as you drink and sing.
Pros: Beer, Music, Atmosphere

We love this place. It is the best bar we have EVER been too. We live in Austin and whenever we get a chance, we make a trip to San Antonio to Durty Nellies! Usually on fridays they have a piano player that looks JUST like bruce willis who is awesome and plays all the crowd favorites plus a few new ones. Usually on saturday nights they have a guy who is more into doing 'durty' jokes. We always call ahead and make sure the bald 'bruce willis' guy is there. He is absolutly awesome. We can spend the whole night there without a problem at all.... there is NO REASON to go anywhere else! If you are in town, this pub is an absolute must!
Pros: Great atmosphere, great drinks, great food!
Cons: Nothing!!

I have never had more fun at a bar before! The piano player rocks and everyone is so friendly on San Antonio's beautiful riverwalk. Next time I am in San Antonio I will be back..
Pros: Great Music, Friendly Staff

Durty Nelly's is the best piano bar I have ever been to. I never go to San Antonio without stopping there. Unfortunately a lot of other people feel the same. It does get crowded!
Pros: Atmosphere, Live entertainment, Peanuts

Durty Nellys is truly one of the best piano bars in the country. We've had more fun there over the past 20 years than in any other bar in San Antonio. Bill Bailey and Steve Palmer have played piano there since the 70's, now joined by Don Johnston and Jeff Spence. Check it out. Fun bar !
Pros: Great location, talented entertainers, good food & drink
Cons: parking, rowdy weekends

My wife and I have enjoyed visiting Durty Nelly's pub since we first found it about 2 years ago. Steve, the Piano Man, knows us and plays our songs eveytime we request them. Of course, he won't do it witout the tip. If you want to gather some friends together for some sing alongs Irish style, this is definetly the place to go.
Pros: Close parking
Cons: A little too tiny
