Polly Esther's

I've been to Polly Esther's a few times with my friends and it's always a FUN time. Whether it's the 70s disco music playing or the 80s music on a separate floor, the djs get the crowd going. The drinks are really good as is the general atmosphere. Highly Recommended! Pros: Music, Atmosphere more

My wife and I went here to close out our vacation during Fiesta. We have been to Polly Esther's before and had a very good time. We both graduated in '87 so we really enjoyed the 80's music on the previous trip. This visit was definitely not as good as last year's. We spent all of our time on the "70s/80s" level, except this year about 75% of the songs played were from the 90's. I had a hard time understanding this since there is another dance level that is dedicated to the 90's. There were also no 'as advertised' $2.50 drink specials. The cover charge was jacked up, too, must have been because of Fiesta...we paid $10 each and, that was before 10pm. Everything on the Riverwalk is $$. Saying all that, we still had a good time. I would recommend to visit at least once...I just won't make it a must visit every time we are in San Antonio. Pros: decor, fun crowd Cons: high cover charge and mixed drinks, beer is price avg more

I was very disappointed after going here on a Wednesday night when it was supposed to be "ladies night" with no cover charge and $2 drinks. First, there was a $5 cover charge and the doorman never heard of this "ladies night". Second, the drinks were $7.50 each and not very good. Third, the 3 levels of "fun" were packed onto 1 floor upon which the dj rotated an occasional 80's song (the whole reason I went was for the 80's floor) followed by 4 or 5 trashy modern radio hits. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this place, if you're looking for a fun ladies night of 80's music. However, if you like trashy, bad music and overpriced drinks, this place is for you! Pros: NONE Cons: expensive drinks, false advertising, pay to park more

In the heart of the Alamo city. Has an attractive interior decorated to reflect the respective eras each floors music represents. Very beautiful and friendly staff which is what shocked me the most! Most venues of this stature unfortunately have a "you're here to serve us and we really don't need your business" attitude but not this place from what I've experienced. The drinks we're bad but the shots we're great! Pros: Beautiful Girls, Friendly Staff, Great Musical Variety Cons: Hot Inside, Limited Seating, Poor Drinks more

I have been to Polly Esther's several times since my 21st birthday, and EVERY time I have gone I have had a blast!!! It is probably one of the only clubs in San Antonio that you dont have to worry about getting caught in the middle of a fight, or having to deal with 18 year olds running around. The staff is so friendly. The crowd was also very pleasing to be around. I really dont like 70's music all that much, but the 1st floor plays today's music and we were bumpn' and grindn' all night long!!!! more

I've gone to many clubs, but Pollyesthers is always good for fun! I love watching the people as well as getting the variety of music on the three floors they have. It can get crowed a bit on the Saturday nights I've been, but it's still a blast and the place is huge. Staff was cool & the girls dancing on the bar seem to loosen people up. Pros: Variety, fun more

My wife and I went to Poly Esthers last Friday night. We were to dance all night, (it had been a while). We got in ,had a couple drinks and hit the floor. Not only did we hear great dance music but also a lot of songs we have not heard in a long time. Huge flashbacks of the high school years(83-87). Everyone was cool and laidback, no one was trying to be cool or show off. We will definatly come back. Pros: Choice of music, Speed of service, Very social Cons: pay for Parking more

If you were born in the era of a Baby Boomer, then this plave maybe for you. Or at least that's what I saw the night I went. I personally did not like this place. It had some good ole' time music from back in my growing pains but if I wanted to see waitresses dancing on the bar tops I would have stayed home and rented Coyote Ugly! The night I went they were supposed to have All American Hunks Male Strippers, Sorry Guys but my husband can do better! $7 for a drink plus $7.50 for parking I might as well have taken my kids to Chuck e' Cheese. I have give it a BIG THUMBS DOWN!!!! Pros: On the Riverwalk, No Cover Charge, Good Parking Cons: Expensive Drinks, Not Enough Seating, Expensive Parking more

went there with my wife and we had a wonderful time. 3 floors of fun to choose from and for only $6 each to get in, it's a great bargain. still i think the place is trendy and even though its crowded, as long as you do your own thing you can have a good time. and that's exactly what we got. wish we have polley esther's in tampa, florida. bet we are going back there on our next visit to san antonio.... more

Jeez, some ladies complain about guys staring at them, some complain about getting mauled. This is what you get when you go out---ALL kinds of people. I would say there are nice guys in the club as well----you just ignored them. There is no reason not to have a good time here. The crowds are usually manageable, and lets face it, if you can't find some decent music on one of the 3 floors that you like, you are just too d@mn picky! Great atmosphere and all age groups make for a fun time out. Pros: atmosphere, music, age-mix Cons: bouncers, prices more

This place is so much fun!! My wife and I went last Friday to enjoy a night on the riverwalk, and we had nothing but a good experience. Not only did the atmosphere bring us both back to when we were younger, but the staff was so friendly and helped us out in every way. We both highly recommend this place to any one looking to cut loose and enjoy a night out in San Antonio!! more
