The Bend Sports Bar - Sports bar in San Antonio - 7730 Bandera Rd, USA

Great little place for an office get together, party, or just hang out for a drink. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is on point. Hosted a retirement party and it was a night to remember, able to set up the tables the way we wanted to, able to bring outside food and even cleared a bit for a dance floor. Highly recommend this establishment!

I'm not a fan. So, good things first: There's Jenga. That's kind of it? The people there can be rowdy, rude, and creepy. One guy kept constantly staring at my friend, and she asked him to stop. He kept on, so she told him to stop. Then another guy had the nerve to tell her she was being the rude one for simply telling this other man to stop staring. I can confirm that it was a creepy, non-stop stare. Not like a "Oh, I just so happen to keep looking in your area of direction, my bad." We even had some guy trying to get us to eat brownies, and when we said no, he kept asking why and persisting. One of my friends has a legit gluten allergy, and when she politely said no thank you, he asked, "Why?" And she said she's allergic. Which first off, if someone says no to a stranger offering a brownie at a bar, there really doesn't need to be further pursuit beyond that. Just respect the answer. She's a quieter person, so she isn't very confrontational - to which he took advantage of to keep pestering her with questions until we chimed in strongly. After his several questions, he finally knocked it off- but a bar allowing patrons to give out brownies (while may sound great in idea because brownies 😆) actually says a lot about the bar's lack of safety. Depending on the person, if it were a weed brownie, they could lose their job upon drug testing. If it had something else in it, it could create very dangerous situations. I'm not saying that people are putting roofies in brownies all the time, but it's a crazy world out there in the worst of ways sometimes. Maybe he just needs to go back to Pre-K to learn what we all were brought up learning, that no means no in general. But, who's to say there wasn't a special batch? Nobody would be able to confirm that. While yes, just say no is fine. Some people aren't as aware and may take it without thinking. Younger people especially. I try to give the benefit of the doubt to people, but regardless, the bar doesn't know what's in the brownies or any other food offered by any fellow patrons, so it seems quite a liability to be allowing that. When a bar doesn't put safety in mind, I tend to stay away because what else do they let slide? They have a good amount of seating, but half of it is right up next to speakers indoors, and the other half is outside on the back patio. This would be fine, but apparently barely anyone wants to be seated next to speakers (me too) so everyone opts for outside, which means all the tables and chairs get taken up and it gets crowded. The wooden chairs are majorly off balance, btw. I'll see 1-2 people dancing next to the speakers, but that's it. It makes me wonder if they lessened the tables and chairs of the indoor area, if more people would dance, since not many sit there anyway. The Bend does have a dog area outside - complete with a doggie bag/throw poop away station. Unfortunately, it is literally right beside a picnic table that is on a very weirdly steep hill. Not only do you feel like you're falling when sitting, but you also have dog poop right next to you. Awesome! While I love a spot that allows dogs, the area given to them is not fenced in, so they can't really play in it. It's mainly for pooping, I believe. Which again - not sure who wants the smell of poop near the bench they're sitting at. There's three benches total that are right next to the poop lawn. It seems like that area would be better put to use by allowing more patio furniture or keeping it fenced for dogs to play. Mixing both so close to each other just flat out doesn't seem smart. Drinks-wise, they're pretty watered down and not worth it. I ordered a margarita there, not only was it watered down, but arrived in a small glass (similar to that for whiskey), and wasn't even full! What's the point of any of that? This place has room to be better. Safer practices on not allowing people to hand out their random food, more room for a dance floor, better drink services, and utilizing their outdoor area more effectively for the fact that this is a social location.

Savannah was fantastic. She helped my friends and family have a great time on New Year's Eve. Thank you!

It’s in the name, “sports bar” a relaxed friendly environment. Staff & customers are cool. I hate to dress up to drink & watch sports. Inexpensive drinks & specials w/ shots! You can ride your bike on the trails & hit this bar! Beautiful back patio w/ plenty of seating, fans & games. The bar is a u-shape view for inside/outside service. Clean restrooms & location. Highly recommend!

I try and go there every Monday Tuesday and Wednesday because I love seeing Marissa her smile will make a bad day happy and the other customers are very nice so it's a Funtime it's a big smile on your face 😀😃 Ft

Went to listen to the band … cool atmosphere, super friendly staff! Looks like they only offered nachos?? Had a burger on the way home - lol! Will go back! Was our 1st time! Nice big patio too!
