History

Established in 2004.

Leapin’ Lizard Pub was originally started in 2003. After almost a year it was bought out by the current owners in sept of 2004 by two young men from Corpus Christ Texas. You will still find one if not both of the owners behind the bar serving you drinks and catering to your needs every day. Because of this we are able to serve the lowest prices in the downtown area.

Went here for a drink on Halloween. This place is small but they have a great DJ. They were playing great old school jams. Great vibe and great atmosphere. No cover charge to get in and it is near the river walk.

Disgusting ass bar! Smells like piss. Resrrooms are beyond that… ive been to plenty of bars that have shity service but clean restrooms and a habitable environment. This just doesnt do it. You have to be able to stand the stwnch of piss.

Solid little dive bar in downtown San Antonio. A bit overpriced, but when a city’s primary revenue is tourism that’s to be expected. Lots of taps, nobody balked when I asked if they could put the Skins game on (in Cowboy country!). Free BBQ on Sundays, whicb is nice. Basic dive bar with more than the average amount of tap variety.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon as we bar hopped around San Antonio. We were 2 of the 3 people there. Not the fanciest place. Bartender was friendly and beer was cold. Nothing special about this place from what I could tell. Typical dive bar. There are plenty of other places I would probably go before returning back.

If you like dive bars this is the place outside of the tourists. Ryan is a great bartender who takes care of you and gives great conversation. Came back twice in two days. And my bar tab was cheap!

Went into this bar on a Wednesday night on a trip to San Antonio for a food convention. Being in the industry always always make me hesitate to leave Unilocal reviews. But this place was great our bartender was awesome, he knew his stuff and kept a conversation with my entire group. I will be back and if your in town stop in if you need to get away from the river walk for a bit. Worth it

We had a great time here. Our bartender Molly was absolutely wonderful and made our drinks with care in a timely manner. We had a lot of fun consuming into mild intoxication under the glow of neon lights. There are even multiple flat screens available for viewing sports. They also have darts and a pool table available. The bathroom was a bit grungy with a bit of the traditional graffiti on the walls. Really fun night though, thanks again :)

Overall this place is pretty good. I only go here on First Fridays and boht times it’s been pretty busy. The DJ is decent and the staff is good. Beer choices are very nice, I think they advertise they have 13 or so beers on tap? They have at least one pool table in the back that I remember and several tables set up all over the place.

This bar is OK I guess not much to it. The drinks are good but I didn’t really like the environment. Not my type of bar only been there once I don’t think I’ll be going back. My friend invited me but I only had 2 drinks and left.

I love this bar, but the girl bartender was extremely rude! She called in the red head/​magnificently bearded guy bartender to come in so she could go fuck some dude cause it was his birthday. it was this guys day off and even though he’s mad, his service is a million times better! if she’s here, don’t come. if he’s here, stay all night!

Went to see D J Double R and he was amazing and the only reason why this place gets 1!
Ordered a round of drinks and the bartender forgot to put red bull in the jäger bomb and I asked the next closest bartender to add it, she didn’t hear what I said and she replied «u want more jäger»? I said NO and I repeated myself… She says «bitch for the 3rd time that’s what I said»!!! I said seriously??? She practically threw the shot back to me!
The ladies room is a joke… 2 stalls and only 1 with a door!
There was empty cups and beer bottles that never got picked up… A broken bottle on the stairs that wasn’t touched!!!
I will not be going back even for the good D J!!!

Dive bar, bored bartender, not cheap, and goddamn Seven Mary Three greatest hits on the overhead. They did have a couple of local crafts on tap so there is that.

dont ever go there!!! It REALLY is bad. I walked in and the first thing that hit me was a sewer smell. after finallly getting the bartenders attention who was really busy playing darts, I asked for a beer. It was really warm and not very good taste. If i hadnt paid for my beer would have just waked out of there. So yeah Dont go there unless you want bad service and like sewer smell.

Awesome beer selection on tab, great bartender staff, not too crowded, awesome dive bathrooms, awesome internet juke box, and not stuck on River Walk… I call it heaven when I go to San Antonio for conventions

This is a very Texas dive bar. Guys in cowboy hats, some guys in polos watching the game, local and non local beer, and a big dark area with pool at the end.
Very good spot for a quick drink while watching a game or to just chat along the tables near the entrance. Wasn’t crowded on a Saturday night, so a nice step away from the river.

Just another bar that’s on the pub run route. Came here once with a group of ppl. This place was blah. Although I was surprised that there was actually a second floor. Nothing stood out except for the crazy shit about to go down here. Oh, the leapin’ lizard!

This is a small cool spot downtown. I went recently on a saturday evening. They had a pretty cool DJ. There was plenty of room to sit in the front of the bar. But once you make your way to the bar it gets a little tight. Once there the bar staff will hook you up. There was no line and no waiting which made me very happy.

I love the local *#&% show on parade here! Let’s be clear. This place is not your trinkety nightlife of a River Walk bar. This place is kinda gross and the patrons will dry hump each other on what they think is a dance floor (really a walk way) if the song is right or wrong if there is a DJ. True story.
But it’s a gem of a find compared to the tourist traps that you will find perusing the water way. (Although I would urinate in one of those tourist traps before ever letting my laurel anywhere near the bathroom here.)
Filthy, salty little bar with a kinda nasty tasting jalapeño beer on tap with lots of weird folks. You should stop by!

Just another downtown bar, decent service, and decent selection. Nothing to write home about. Beware the restrooms are like a port-​o-​let during fiesta Friday! Staff seemed nice, but I only had 1 interaction with them. This place used to be my #1 on Wednesdays, but that was in the Bush administration, much has changed since then!

Yeah… Ok… I’m going to have to say, this place is one of the coolest yet grossest dive bars in downtown San Antonio.
The bathrooms OH MY GOD. Die right now if you’re female and you have to urinate, because I LOOOOATHE these restrooms.
Then, the staff is like «Can I be bothered to get you a beer?» Yes, please. I have money! HERE IT IS! HERE IT IS! As you wave them down.
Some nights, SOME NIGHTS, this place is AMAZING filled with the right mix of tourists and locals when the bartenders are in chipper moods.
Take a chance and leap on in. If this review scared you off, good because there ARE other bars within walking distance with people who want to serve you and clean their restrooms.
