San Antonio Bars and Clubs - British Pubs

An upscale-casual hangout in San Antonio, the Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille’s unfortunate strip-mall location doesn’t do much to harm its popularity among locals. Good food and ample libations hailing from around the world sate the cravings of the crowds, while TVs tuned to sports, pool tables, dartboards and shuffleboard tables cover the entertainment realm. Later in the evenings, this restaurant and bar near the Medical Center tends to get pretty full with a friendly crowd of (generally) tastefully dressed folks.

As the San Antonio original in the Lion and Rose Pub chain, the Alamo Heights location still has the magic touch when it comes to serving customers cold beer and classic British food. Plasma TVs line the bar and show American and European sports plus there's free WiFi for those that have a laptop. Because a great pub needs good food too, there is a full menu of British food at the Lion & Rose Pub and a few San Antonio favorites also. The shepherd's pie, English pub crock and Piccadilly pasties are all worth trying with a fine imported beer. Nowhere else in San Antonio—except maybe their other locations—can sports fans feel like they're watching a game in England.

Specialty cocktails, live music, live DJs and plenty of drink specials make Mad Dogs a British style pub on the River Walk that's worth the walk. A menu of pub grub makes Mad Dogs San Antonio a great place to start bar hopping from because a bite to eat can be ordered with the first round of drinks. Behind the bar, attractive ladies sling drinks to the crowds of twenty and thirty somethings in attendance for dancing or whatever band has taken over the stage for the evening. Being an English pub, Mad Dogs offers all the essentials with a few other authentic English spirits to sport the British Isle flavor on the San Antonio River Walk.

To bar or to band, that is the question. Sherlock's Baker St. Pub and Grill in San Antonio has two sides, both equally fun, both equally attractive, but a choice needs to be made between the bar side or the band side. It's a tough choice with the bar side boasting pool tables, darts and Golden Tee and the band side promising live music every night. The San Antonio British pub may tip the scale towards the bar side with a grill serving up British favorites like Shepherd's Pie, classic pub food favorites like burgers and Baja tacos like grilled fish tacos. British pub, Baja tacos? It's Texas, okay. The pub offers a huge selection of draught and bottle beers to enjoy on either side. Quieter and darker on the pub side, couches and tables are a great place to watch the current sports game on one of the many TVs. What it comes down to is that bar side or band side, Sherlock's Baker St. Pub and Grill in San Antonio has plenty to offer to anyone looking for a good time.
