The Dakota East Side Ice House

A tucked gem in San Antonio. I usually go for the Jazz jams Thursday nights and find myself wanting to stay longer. At a fair price, and with a good mix between regulars and new comers, the Dakota has always been a great place to hang out. In addition, the walls have so much personality you could talk to them.

Absolutely awesome bar, and awesome staff. The patio is relaxing and nice, with a great vibe inside as well. I even accidentally ordered a bunch of non-alcoholic beers to take with me. When we went back the next day, they said I could bring them back and exchange them. Really great service, and OH YEAH the food is awesome. The brisket biscuits are insane, the pizza is delicious, and the whole place is very friendly. If you’re near here, it is worth the stop by!

Dakota Ice house is a great place to catch up with some friends. The music is not so loud that you can't hear the person next to you. The patty melt was superb. Everyone was gracious and treated me, a police woman, so graciously. I'm not getting the comment by patty Tom stating if you're a, "Make America Great" person, this place isn't for you. I believe it's a bar thriving on capitalism which is contributing to making America great. We need more of these. Planning on going back.. this time in my civvies and enjoying a cold one.

We went on a really busy night. The bean and cheese nachos were good. they just need more beans. The chips and queso were really good if the chips weren't so stale. Staff was all over the place a bit. Staff on the outside trailer was on point. We will try again. Again. It was a busy night. Other than that, beer was cold in the buckets and yummy!!!!!

We love our local Eastside bar! Do not leave there without ordering a Hackberry Express. Thank me later. Also, the nachos are simple but perfect like from your childhood latch key days, and the sliders are addicting. Beer on tap is always cold and perfect. The team is always on it, attentive, but also cool af. I'll say this about the crowd there, if you're a make America great again kind of person, this 100% is not the place for you. You're welcome to go, but you won't like it, which is one of the MANY reasons why I love it. This place feels like home with the theater kids, misfits, nerds, artists, creatives, musicians, and local folk who make our city a better place. They also just opened a coffee shop on the property and I can't wait to try it soon. There's an outdoor area and indoor area. It's dog friendly, as long as you have them on a leash. It's LGBTQIA+ friendly and if you're a "we are the weirdos mister" kinda vibe, this is your spot. Most of the time, it's all ages, which we love with our teen.

Have been wanting to check this place out since they opened, so a group of us decided to head out early on a Saturday and enjoy some food and drinks at this Eastside Neighborhood Bar on a nice SA winter day. The patio area is large and great for groups, while the inside is a bar going down the length of the inside that started to get packed with people as we ate and drank outside. They are really a beer and wine bar, with lower alcohol (like wine vodka). Beer selection was good and they pour a large pint + of draft beers. The bartender was friendly and gave some recommendations for food (I will have to come back for the carnitas!). We decided to go with the Sishitos & Sausage and the Nacos for my vegetarian friend. It was a good start for our night to hold us over for our bar hoppin' night and got a Snoop shirt with a purchase of his sparkling wine!
