Greater San Antonio
Mon Ami Lounge
MAP
( 210-822-3253; 4901 Broadway St; 4pm-midnight)
A cozy little lounge in Alamo Heights with
a subtle French flavor and a sprinkling of
savoir faire
. The barkeeps are friendly and they
know their way around a drink shaker. This isn't a place to see and be seen, but rather to
enjoy an excellent cocktail with friends.
BAR
Flying Saucer Draught Emporium
( 210-696-5080; 11255 Huebner Rd; 11am-1am Mon-Wed, to 2am Thu-Sat, noon-midnight Sun)
More than
300 kinds of beer (from Abita Abbey Ale to Young's Double Chocolate Stout) make this
place a beer-lover's paradise, as does the casual beer-garden vibe. It's a bit of a schlep
from downtown - around a 15- to 20-minute drive - but it's a good place to unwind after
a (child-free) visit to Fiesta Texas.
BAR
Cowboys Dance Hall
( 210-646-9378;
www.cowboysdancehall.com
; 3030 NE Loop 410, east of I-35; cover from $5; 8pm-2am Wed-
Sat)
This enormous dancehall packs in a mix of people - the proportion of actual cowboys
is hard to say - ready to scoot their boots to country-and-western music. Check the web-
site for drink specials, teen nights and ladies' nights festivities.
