Betty's Battalion

I was station at Fort Sam 20 years ago. I loved this bar. The owner made every soldier feel like they were welcome and cared for. Everyone one knew not to mess with her and she always seemed to have our back. When I saw it is still there it gave me a warm feeling. If you have severed this place will seem like home.

Betty's is a fantastic little bar, everyone is really friendly. This place is just what I was looking for on a weekend, great customer service! I was here on a Saturday night and the live music was incredibly good it swapped between traditional Mexican and old country songs all of which were really enjoyable to me. I read alot of reviews on this place before choosing to come here and would like to clear some stuff up. First please do not bring your own liquor into the bar as that is illegal in Texas. Second Betty's Battalion absolutely does have liquor so you really don't need to bring your own anyways. I had a whiskey sour and an old fashioned and they were very well made and delicious.The liquor selection is a bit limited as far as brands but they had the big names. They don't serve food here but you can ask Betty for snacks and she'll get you some peanuts or something like that. They also have a big patio that's great if you smoke or want to enjoy some fresh air with a beer in hand. Overall I really enjoyed this peaceful, friendly, local little bar. For sure check it out while you're in San Antonio, it's peaceful the booze is cheap and the atmosphere is wonderful.
