Smoke Skybar

Best thing that was ordered was the beans. The brisket was dry and from the photo you can tell it definitely was reheated some sort of way as well at the turkey, that had the consistency of jerky. the brisket tacos were a bit on the greasy side. The upside was the salsa that helped give it more flavor. The corn was watery but was ok from what my wife said. I was surprised for a place that was empty I had to hunt someone down to get a refill on our drinks. I guess playing on your phone is more important than customer service.

So amazed by the updates done to this place. I am absolutely amazed and glad I decided on visiting this restaurant/bar a second time. Food is just as delicious as I can remember it to be. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite or great night out. Bar opens at 7pm and Mondays you can enjoy $3 you call it drinks starting at 10pm.

This place has the “whole vibe” potential which I didn’t get to experience on a Sunday early afternoon. Nonetheless, I can see it. I ordered the 2-meat combo plate — it’s a lot of food for an amazing price!! The brisket was nothing short of magnificently delicious!!! I was nervous trying the potato salad but was scraping the bowl before I knew it! The chicken quarter had a nice smoky flavor. The only item I didn’t care for on my plate were the green beans. I had to talk food first but the service was interesting. I placed my food order at the bar at one register and had to walk around the bar to a different register to place my alcohol order. I was given a buzzer after placing my food order which I had to go pick up at the food pick up area. It was odd because I chose to sit at a table by the pick up area so I could be close to it. The sever paged me, walked to my table without the food and told me that I could go grab my food that was sitting at the pickup area — I was all kinds of complex because I was one of 5 customers in the building at the time. Maybe there’s something I don’t know….. The bartender, Zack, was amazing and gave me the level of service I expected from the server…but again perhaps I’m missing something on how it works here… Based on the delicious food & the exceptional bartender, I will likely return

I came here for the Margarita Festival with my sister and her boyfriend (didn't realize it was a festival until we got there) and we had a blast! When I got food, I ordered the brisket mac and cheese (see picture) and it was delicious! Not spicy at all (I have a very low spice tolerance) and seemed perfectly done, considering this is only the second time I've had brisket. 😆 Everyone was enjoying themselves and the vibe was great! The service in the restaurant was great and the wait staff were very friendly. They're having some more festivals coming up that I may check out just because I enjoyed the vibes of this one so much, despite not being a drinker.

I had a great time at Smoky Skybar San Antonio, recommended by staff at the Kimpton Hotel. The atmosphere leans more toward a bar/club than a typical restaurant—just something to keep in mind. When I visited, there were huge rental AC units set up (the main AC must have been out), so some seating areas weren’t available or as comfortable. That said, I’m not complaining because the food was tasty and reasonably priced, and the service was truly excellent. All in all, a fun spot—would return!

food is AMAZING here! the service is REALLY bad! we walked in and nobody greeted us. we sat ourselves and we asked for drinks and the person who took our order said she did not know where the bartender was. we finished our food and the bartender still wasn’t around. we asked for a box and no box ever came either.

Lauren is an absolute gem! She kept our drinks coming all night and made us feel right at home. Her recommendations were spot on, and she even remembered our names. We'll definitely be back!"

Went on a Saturday night to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The bar wasn’t too packed, which made it easy to get in and grab drinks. I like that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and it feels like a fun spot to hang out with friends and enjoy good music. The only downside was the women’s restroom… there were ladies in there selling toiletries, and it created an odd, crowded experience. Overall though, the vibe, music, and drinks make it worth a visit.
