    Bombay Bicycle Club is a pretty chill place with a bunk of junk on the walls. If you like bars that are covered in 'stuff on the walls', then Bombay might be the place for you.  I might go here for a cold one or two, but I prefer the outdoor aesthetic of more modern San Antonio bars, or the bleak comfort of a darker place.

    The bar is often infiltrated by old money San Antonio heirs whose parents had to pull strings to get them into Trinity or Incarnate Word. Bombay offers them proximity to Alamo Heights to drive drunk. There are some regulars who get blackout drunk by 1 am.

    The bartender is a HOT red head.

    I'm so glad that I finally made it in here! I had noticed this place many times before but hadn't made it in yet.From the moment I walked into the door I knew that I liked the place. It had that neighboorhood tavern ecclectic antique clutter atmosphere. The kind of look that your TGI Crapplebees tries so hard to emulate. We were warmly greeted and told to sit anywhere we like. We took a booth and our server brought over a high chair for our boy. I asked about happy hour and she gave me the lowdown on drink and appetizer specials. Shiner Bock on tap for $2.25 was good for me. We also ordered the Scotch eggs. I haven't had them in years so I was stoked to see them on the menu. Bombay's are great! For my meal I went with their Bombay Salad, my wife had the salmon sandwich and we got an order of nachos for the boy. The grilled chicken on my salad was wonderful and the lettuce and tomato and everything was very fresh and tasty. The rest of my family was also happy with what they ate. The prices are great too and even better given that it was happy hour. Bay's (so I'm told the students from Trinity call it) has a long-standing history, in which our wonderful server enlightened us. It was the first bar to open when Bexar was no longer a dry county. And the first owner was the man who would go on to create Taco Cabana.
    I really did like everything about the place, I can see Bombay Bicycle Club becoming a regular spot.

    I fail to see why this place is so loved. I guess it's ok for a bar but the food and service seriously leave something to be desired. I had a hamburger and fries but it was nothing wonderful Service was eh. The decor is probably what people love about this place but it's also what you see inside every TGI Fridays. Bombay decor might predate TGI Fridays decor but either way it's the same. I doubt I will be back. Nothing special here.

    If you're stationed at Ft. Sam and looking for a relaxing place not frequented and infested with "Joe", this is a great place to go. Close enough not to be a pain to get to but far enough that they can't walk to it. Good drinks, good food and a relaxed environment. Enjoy...

    I ordered the "Bean Burger A San Antonio original- our BOMBAY burger topped with refried beans and a mound of Fritos- Viva Fiesta ........ 8.50" it was a terrible hamburger, very dry. The beans were too thick and made it more dry with the fritos. No malt vinegar available for the fries. Packed into a tiny booth and could barely move. Would not return even just for the bar.

    Stopped here after a visit to the zoo, mainly because of the interesting paintings  on the exterior of the building, and the delightful name. Something about it sparked my interest & being relatively new in this city, I figured, why not?

    Only had lunch, but it was a pleasant experience. Mostly business people on their lunch hour at that time of day. It was quiet & I enjoyed a great Spinach salad with blue cheese.

    The service was fair, nothing to get overly excited about. What I enjoyed most, other than my lunch, was the eclectic decor. Certainly worth a stop & a look-see :)

    I've tried this place several times over the years and I've just never had a great experience that says "WOW! I wanna go here more often!" Mostly it's the fact that the service whenever I've been there has never been that outstanding. Beers take forever, checks take awhile, and any time I've had food there, it comes out coldish. Usually by that time, I don't even want a reheat or redo, I just wanna eat and get out of there. I'll probably still go there once in awhile if friends want to meet up, but it's definitely not a bar I will frequent on my own volition, just peer pressure.

    I'm rounding up to 4 stars. I am not a "bar person" and the fact that I enjoyed myself here last night says a lot.
    Pros:
    -Neat, eclectic decor. I loved the stained glass and the funky seating. They also played good music. I heard 3 Beatles songs while we were there and a lot of other 60's music.
    -Friendly service. I told the bartender it was our first time in and she welcomed us and showed us a menu. There was also a waitress who checked on us repeatedly.
    -Not stuffy, like I picture most bars to be. And though it was a Saturday night, it wasn't jam-packed and that's a good thing! Eclectic crowd also. Most people seemed quiet and respectful. One group right next to us got clearly hammered and very obnoxious and loud. One guy actually put his feet up on the small coffee table we were using to put our drinks on. RUDE!

    Cons:
    -Bathrooms = disgusting. This made me want to give them 3 stars. No soap, the hand dryer was out of order, and they had a roll of toilet paper on the sink to be used as paper towels. Really? Good thing I had hand sanitizer in my purse!

    We did not go during happy hour and this meant some really expensive cocktails. The cheapest, the Lemon Drop was $7 but it was freaking delicious. Also tried the Pomegranate Fizz which was also tasty. So I won't complain much. I'll have to try to make it during happy hour next time.
    Needless to say though, I had 3 drinks and when I closed my tab out, the cost at the end was a little painful.

    The prices mean I'll have to keep this to a once in awhile haunt, but I'd definitely return!

    One of my favorite patios in San Antonio!

    Bombay's, or Bay's like the cool Trinity kids call it (seriously, my Trinity friends told me this, but I stil prefer to call it by it's full name) could have one of the most cost effective happy hours ever. I think the frozen margaritas and well drinks are $3. Pair that with a solid cup of their famous chili, and you have yourself a party. All other food has just been okay, nothing spectacular, but the chili is certainly something to remember.

    Service has been spotty in the past, but on my most recent trip I was treated to a 5 star server who even offered to charge my cell phone inside for me so I could stay out on the patio with my friends.

    I can see why Bombay's has always been a favorite among the local student population, and now that I'm semi in the 'hood, I look forward to visiting more regularly.

    Was hanging out at Breckenridge Park and decided it was too hot so we looked for a happy hour.  This was close and convenient.  True to the name, there were plenty of bike racks out front when we pulled into the parking lot.  

    It's a large, stand-alone structure with lots of vintage photos and knickknacks all over the walls.  Vines cover the windows and darken the atmosphere.  Someone left their bike in one of the trees by the door.  I felt dehydrated so only ordered water and the cheesy tater tots.  Partner got a couple of beers.  Prices were pretty decent.  The tots were alright, but clearly came from a freezer and drizzled with pseudo-American cheese.  Service was ok.  Patrons were diverse - bikers, hipsters, cyclists, seniors.  Seemed like a no-frills neighborhood joint.

    BARTENDER DID NOT WASH HIS HANDS!!!! BAR TENDER BLOWS NOSE AND CONTINUES TO MAKE AND SERVE DRINKS!
    BEER GULPING WAITRESS WHO CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF TABLES!!

    My friend and I were at happy hour and the service was horrible.  The place was not full of people and it was not busy at all. It took the waitress forever to come by our table and give us menus. After giving us menus, she walked away and did not come back for another 10-15min. She then got our drink orders and walked away.  Another long period of time passed by and finally she came to our table with our drinks. Then she walked away without asking us if we had decided on what we wanted to order.  My friend and I were trying to get her attention, because we had already decided what we wanted to order, but the waitress continued to walk around the bar and stops to take a swig of beer at the bar.  We  tried waving the menus in the air to get her attention, but were not successful.  Finally, we were able to catch her  after she took some menus, by a table close to us, to a couple that entered into the restaurant.

    After the waitress took our order, the bar tender started blowing his nose with his hands into a tissue. After cleaning out his nostrils, he wrapped up the tissue and threw it into the garbage.  Then he turned around and started preparing drinks for the customers. HE DID NOT WASH HIS HANDS. We finally got our food, and when it was time to pay, the waitresses had switched shifts. Our new waitress brings us our check and we noticed that they had charged us $0.60 for a cup of Ranch salad dressing. When I brought it to the new waitress's attention and informed her that our original waitress said that the chips went well with Ranch Dressing and never informed us that it was an extra $0.60, she told us "Well that is what we charge, because we make our dressing." I asked for the manager. When the manager came up to our table my friend and I explained to her about the horrible service that we had and that we would like for the $0.60 to be removed from our bill. The manager agreed to remove the $0.60 from the bill.

    So folks, if you want a drunk waitress and a bar tender that serves you drinks with snot on his fingers!!! Take your foolish ass here!!

    Come here for a tasty burger and nicely priced libations.  Each night they offer different drink specials; I went Wednesday and had all the well drinks I could handle for $2.50 a pop.

    Ideal bar for a group of guys to have a bunch of beers and talk smack about their fantasy football teams on weekend afternoon.  Great patio.  Wish they still had Alamo on tap, but alas, now it's only in bottles.  Later at night, the crowd favors a mix of Alamo Heights HS alums back in town and after-work folk who powered through happy hour.  Cheap billiards in the back is always a fun distraction as well.

    A friend and I went to BBC for lunch yesterday. We're both new to the city, so we kind of chose the place on a whim, but were glad we did! Happy hour runs from 11-7, which is ridiculous(ly awesome)!

    The food is decent. I ordered the club sandwich and was delighted to find that the bacon was nice and crispy, though I felt that the rest of the sandwich was lacking a bit in the flavor department. The fries were... well, they're fries. Nothing fancy, there, but they hit the spot. My buddy got a burger and he seemed pleased with it, though that could also be because he hadn't eaten a burger in over a month.

    Honestly, though, I think this is one of those places that I'm going to come to for the incredible service, funky ambiance, and crazy-awesome drink specials... food is an afterthought.

    It was my first time venturing into the heart of San Antonio (spend most of the time in the suburbs), and I wound up down by the zoo craving a beer and a TV to watch some NFL playoffs. Bombay was the first place that came up; so I went on over.

    The place was like a ghost town at 3pm when I took a seat at the bar. Around 4 the music shut off as if it were a sign from the heavens for everybody to migrate to Bombay. Within the hour, the place was packed with what appeared to be the "regulars".

    Despite the crowded bar, I received prompt service at the bar and never had to wait for another beer. The beer on tap was not as cold as I would expect, but still drinkable. I tried the chicken sandwich, and it was excellent.

    I will definitely go back whenever I am in the area.

    ------
    I'm changing my rating to a 5. Love this place! I was searching for a spot for the Euro 2012 Championship last weekend, and I couldn't breathe at Lion & Rose. So I hopped back in the car for the short trip down to Bombay where there was plenty of seats with just enough atmosphere. I may have had to explain the game to a few folks at the bar, but this is America...what do you expect?

    I attempted one of the burgers this time, and it did not disappoint. I have yet to order anything here that wasn't good.

    On a plane all day, and ready for a beer and some grub. The dear Yelp San Antonio CM brought me by Bombay Bicycle Club. We had the good fortune of arriving during Happy Hour so beers were on special (and naturally we took advantage!).

    The service was harried. And the food was hit-or-miss. The not-to-be-missed item is definitely the chili. I've been craving it for the past month, and this was my first find on the menu -- glad of that too. It's spicy, meat-y, and perfect. Really satisfied the lengthy longing I've had! Now, the boneless buffalo wings were the opposite. I didn't even want to eat them -- but I was hungry, and hate to waste food. They were these scrawny, sickly looking curly tendrils of meat swimming in a too-tangy buffalo sauce. Don't recommend. I know bar food is generally bar food. But if you're hanging out here, definitely don't pass up that chili!

    This place has a good casual feel.  I tend to see many people from my high school here, but it is worth going still.  The drinks were not priced bad and the waitress was good.  They had a guy going around and selling pizzas.  Good place to go and catch up with friends.

    This is a great place to relax and get together with friends.  It has become a tradition among co-workers to celebrate birthdays and other special occasion at Bombay.  The place is spacious with two main areas: the sit and chill area, and the pool tables and jukebox area in the back.  The decoration is very unique and almost cozy.  They have daily specials including martinis and margaritas, several beers on draft, and some of the best shots I have ever tasted (German Chocolate and Root Beer are two of my favorites).  The bartenders and servers are also very friendly.

    Stop by Bombay if you want to get away for a while and just have a good time.

    You come to Bombay to enjoy the happy hour and the awesome electronic juke box jams. You may not realize they serve some delicious food! While their vegetarian selection is very limited, they have delicious baby spinach, cheese and pico nachos!

    The atmosphere is like something from a Lewis Carroll story, decorated with lots of antique bikes, signs and unique furniture. My favorite spot is at the bar. It has this awesome feeling like I could write a book sitting there observing all the interesting people in the place.

    Its true that you'll find a variety of folks here including college kids, cyclists, business men and folks just wanting to tell a story. Its not too kid friendly, but now that the smoking ban is in effect, its not unrecommended to test it out (its conveniently located next to the zoo).

    Time Travel Machine.....back 16yrs ago this is where I was served my first underage drink....Hadn't been back since.

    This visit was early on a Saturday night (7:30pm) and when my friend and I ordered a drink at the bar we were immediately informed that the kitchen would be closing in 30min. We were directed to the patio/courtyard....The courtyard is magical! We were only one of 3 other occupied tables.Inside I loved the decor and the hidden pool table area and booths that looked secluded enough for a private conversation. The tunes that were being played made us very happy!

    Our waitress was a tad pushy about us placing out food order even though we had just sat down after leaving the bar. She smoothed out after sitting down with a friend at a nearby table and smoking a cigarette.

    The nachos were clearly labeled on the menu to inform us that there were going to be 8 chips fully topped would cost $9+. They were good enough, but not worth the price. The beer was on tap and served in cold clean glasses. When it was time to leave our waitress was much nicer! (too late)

    $30 for nachos and 6 beers.

    I'll be back!

    I confess, since this place shares a name with a defunct chain of casual dining restaurants I had stayed away. But Yelp reviews and word of mouth made me give it a try. And what a pleasant surprise!

    Inside is amazing - old worn bar, furniture scattered about, lots of local flair on the walls. Since we were there for lunch on a weekday, we had to settle for hearing about some special drinks (pepper infused tequila?!?) instead of trying them.

    The menu is short, but well done. The salmon is pretty amazing, beating the hell out of any battered fish sandwich. Burger was reportedly very good as was the chicken. Great to see some variety and different takes on bar food.

    Ok, I'm not just giving a good review because this is where I was "officially" introduced to the love of my life!!! But I can honestly say it's awesome here! It's a great little bar with a chill vibe where anyone can enjoy themselves. They have a great happy hour which I just discovered last night, and I hear from a reliable source that the food is wonderful too. I'm planning on giving it a whirl soon! I also love the decor in here, it's the usually vintage finds that you'll often find decking out bars and restaurants, but I love it nonetheless. I catch myself looking around each time even though I've seen it all before. There is also a great patio area outside, I've never actually sat out there, but it looks like it would be great on a beautiful day.

    I would suggest you check it out if you get the chance, you really can't go wrong if you find yourself in the area for happy hour!

    I've been a regular at "Bays" for years. It's one of those rare places that seamlessly pulls of being a neighborhood bar & a college bar simultaneously.

    It has pretty much anything a good bar should have. One of those great wooden bars that would have fit in on the set of 'St. Elmo's Fire' or 'Cocktails'.... Am I dating myself with those 80's hipster flick refrences? Bah, who cares. Moving on!

    Not only do they have the standard issue pool table, juke box & a couple of dart boards, they have a huge liquor selection. I'm told that they also make a tasty burger but to be honest, I'm only ever there for a good drink & to take in the scenery. Also, they have a great bar staff. They remember my name & my drink of choice and in the end isn't that all anyone one of want from a bar we frequent?

    All of this said, there are some draw backs. If you don't get there early in the evening you might struggle for a comfortable place to congregate. That's not to say they don't have plenty of seating available, they do. But if you go there on a busy night it gets full fast.  The only other drawback is the male students from nearby Trinity University. While their female counterparts are generally a fun loving bunch, the males that  matriculate up the street have a general "tool" like quality. So be prepared for that. But that isn't enough of a deterrent to keep me, or you, away.

    As a bar I'm sure it is a good place to hang out.  As a place to eat on the way to the zoo it was one of the worst dining experiences I've had.  We went on a Saturday afternoon, while it was a little less than half full.  I understand that it is going to be bar food - nothing fancy (or necessarily very good).  What I do expect is some kind of timeliness.  It took over an hour to get our food, with the waitress repeatedly apologizing for the delay.  It seems that the cook wasn't too interested in being there and didn't really care if that inconvenienced anyone.  Lethargic is being generous.  Finally an older gentleman, perhaps a manager or owner, came in and tried to get him going, but the damage was done.  

    The food was bad - a total grease-fest.  I'll never be back.

    I have to say I really liked hanging out at the BBC.  As usual "the Dad's" were needing a place to hang out and have some beers for our regular night out away from kids, wives, and general daddy duty.  Previously we have gone to various bars and hang out spots across town, but apparently pool was on our minds and I stumbled across the BBC while googling and yelping for a place to go with billiards.

    The decor is great and that's what first caught my eye.  I knew this was a great hang spot and probably many people's "Cheers".  Prior to coming I called and asked about the pool tables and each time the staff on the phone were very friendly and super helpful.  They were excited that I was bringing a small group of dads and even that small group (10 of us) seemed important to them.  The manager asked what we were doing and who the group was, trying to get a feel for our needs for a bar/pool hall.  He was very welcoming and made me feel like we made a great choice even prior to going.

    Upon arrival I was sure we found our spot.  It's a medium sized bar with enough for a 150-200 people max.  The decor was eclectic and seemed to scream history, fun, and local flavor.  When we arrived the bartender thought we would be most comfortable in the pool area as there is a single row of movie theatre seating lining the walls and would  allow us to all sit together play pool and watch the spurs if we wanted.  She was right, it was a great spot.  Nice and small, but big enough for us to enjoy ourselves be a bit loud if we want and kick back a bit.

    The pool games are cheap (4 quarters is all it costs for a game). And the people who drift in and out for a game or two are as varied as the art hanging on the walls.  We played with a businessman type who had just worked late and wanted to relax before heading home, a hippie-ish student who was a pool shark, and a few other folks around our age (30 somethings).  The drink prices were pretty good considering the location near Alamo Heights, but the draft beer sizes were a bit small.  But there's something to drinking out a thick glass beer mug that makes up for its lack of volume.  The food is good as well, we all ordered burgers and fries and they were well done with excellent those thick steakhouse style fries.

    My group stayed from 7:30-11 on a Friday night and it was never too crowded.  BBC can be a great place to hang all Friday, as a first stop on a pub crawl, or even your last call pit stop.  We had a blast here and I'll definitely be back for some brews, pool, and a few laughs.

    This place is the only place in town where you can get "Scotch Eggs." These delightful nuggets from heaven have to be some of the most unhealthy food that exists. It's a hardboiled egg, surrounded by sausage, and deep fried. nom nom nom.
    The beer selection is pretty great. The service is wonderful.
    They have a few healthier choices if Scotch Eggs aren't your thing.
    I love the decor here. The waitstaff loves it if you go and "Clock in" at the old clock on the North side of the bar. Try it.
    They have games in the back- pool and some video games.
    Their patio is wonderful! A great place to have drinks and quiet conversation under the lush trees!
    Their burgers are phenomenal!

    Bay's has GREAT Happy Hour Specials, some of the best I've found in San Antonio. 1/2 price apps and very cheap margs and beers.

    It loses two stars because the service is downright terrible. The bartender that I've seen there on two occasions is more concerned about chatting with other patrons rather than putting my order in with the kitchen. The waitstaff is rude and just acts annoyed to even be there.

    Bay's has a backroom with a couple of arcade games and plenty of pool tables.

    I don't think I can really add anything that hasn't been said in 5-10 reviews that I read except about the food.  We stopped by on a Saturday for lunch on the way over to the Witte.  I'd driven by their large Burger sign several times and we decided to stop in.

    I choose the Blue Cheese Burger and the wife had the chicken strips.  Both were yummy and good sized portions.  The fries were fresh and the fixings on the burger were basic.  No frills just good down-home ingredients.

    We'll stop back in again in the future and try the happy hour specials or a little pool.

    P.S.  Love their no smoking policy!!

    Its starts with a tweet of "bays call out for...." and ends with "see you at 10:30" every Thursday night.

    Its a ritual that was started by a great friend of mine and the torch was passed on to me to keep it going about 8 months ago.

    Bays...a mix of sports memorabilia, college fraternity-sorrority kids, bikers, locals and us...the newsies.

    The big screen tv is crisp and clear (I would kill to have a flat panel like that in my home), the music is always rocking and sometimes the crowd sings along, the drinks are cheap, the staff knows us - the door man, Tony, just retired about a month ago and we're slowly starting to get to know the new one.

    But whatever the reason for the gathering, Bays is the perfect place to chill. From watching our Spurs kick some Mav butt to yapping about a hard week at work to wishing a friend good luck in a move across the country - our go to place is always the little joint on the corner of St. Mary's and Mulberry.

    There's a fairly friendly setup apparent here upon entry, and were it not for the fact that it's approximately the temperature of the sun outside these days, I likely would have taken Krys T's advice and perched myself on the patio outside. As it was, I've neglected certain opportunities to sweat through my face and grabbed a seat in the corner.

    One thing that's pretty clear here is that there's a regular neighborhood clientele at play, and locals mixed during happy hour to the background of a Mexico-Spain match on the expanded flatscreen overlooking the bar. As was our luck, this restaurant sits near several other local stops, and I've already made plans to stop back by, though perhaps for something a bit more high octane than the happy hour chicken strips and Tecate Light that broke the heat outside. It's not fancy, and that's something to appreciate on these days when the mercury launches toward the stratosphere. See ya soon, Bombay Bicycle Club.

    Great SA staple and perfect central location to meet up with friends before moving on to other festivities, or not.  Great mix of old school bar/eclectic haunt/saloon/pool hall styles.  Also, a great mix of people and demographics which adds to the comfortable feel of the place.  There's no smoking, which is good, but there's an awesome brink wall enclosed cozy patio to smoke and relax.  Highly recommended!

    Sit on the patio!!!

    This is a great bar.  Its central San Antonio location makes it a prime location for lots of different kinds of people to come together.  I don't know many places like it.  It's the kind of place where everyone is welcome and everyone mingles.  It's not uncommon to see a middle-aged man in a suit making jokes or playing darts with a college kid covered in tattoos.  It's great!  I feel like I always make a new friend when I visit this place.

    The patio is a lot of fun.  It's closed in by very tall brick walls covered in ivy so you're kind of in your own world out there.  Many of my friends have had birthday and going away parties here and the staff always does very well to accommodate the large groups.  

    I've also been several times with a couple girlfriends to just have a quick bite to eat.  The burgers here are so good! Get the Patriotic Cheeseburger (made with American cheese, of course) and fries for only $6.95 and if you go early enough during the week, you'll get 1/2 price appetizers and there's always some drink or another on special.  $20 is MORE than enough to have a great night at Bombay's.

    It gets crowded often, so be prepared for that but there's plenty of parking around and the crowd is always friendly and fun.  If you can't find a place to sit, head back to the pool tables and take up a game and you might even make some friends!

    I love me some Bombay Bicycle Club! Not only is the HH great (1/2 off apps), not only do they have quality drinks (lots of beer on tap and Black Cherry Margaritas for you ladies), but in a town which might be the only city in the country on the Top 10 Largest Cities list without a smoking ban, there is absolutely NO SMOKING inside Bombay, and that helps me rest easy at night--literally. Smokers, don't fret--there is a patio sufficient to fill all your smoking whims. Just leave us non-smokers out of it. :)

    This modern day saloon provides a laid-back, cozy atmosphere for all who frequent it - from the bourgeois to the bohemians of San Antonio. On any given weekday, you'll find CEO's on business lunches rubbing shoulders with Trinity students grabbing a burger before their next class.  

    What I love most about this gem just north of downtown, is the fact that the fare, while mouth-watering, is as unpretentious as it's friendly staff. I recommend the Blackened Salmon Sandwich, cooked to perfection and served with a spicy mayo dressing. Not only delicious, but large enough to split with a friend.

    You'll also find the decor to be as eclectic as it's patrons. The chotsky laden walls are a perfect compliment to the booth lined interior of mix-matched couches and armchairs.

    With a happy hour that runs daily 11a -7p, I have a feeling I'll be spending much of my summer relaxing on Bombay's tree-covered outdoor patio, listening to jukebox tunes with a Raspberry Margarita in hand.

    I'm on the fence about this one.  The food is really good - had a blackened salmon sandwich and it was excellent.  It was enough to split with a friend as well.  The service, considering it was one waitress in the whole of the restaurant, kept up fairly well with refills and making sure we were okay.  What's my gripe?  The fact that you have to bring your ticket up to the bar to pay and the bartender just took his sweet time in getting to me.  No acknowledgement, no apologies... just took the ticket when he felt like taking it.  Agitated?  Ya think???!??

    For the life of me, I can't figure out why everyone calls this place "Bay's."  It's not Bombay's Bicycle Club, the Bombay part isn't possessive.  Hell, it isn't even plural so there's no excuse for getting confused.  Whatever.

    The chili is good and the drinks are cheap.  There's crazy shit on the walls that lends to a college bar type atmosphere.  They have one of those awesome jukeboxes that's hooked up to the 'net and can download a whole bunch of obscure music.  The service usually sucks and there have in recent months been break-ins to the cars in the parking lot, so watch out for that.  Also, there's a patio, but it's quite small.

    "Bay's" is a really fun place to hang out. As with any place within a mile or so of Trinity University (where i went to college), it gets swamped with students on weekend nights, and since im not a huge fan of the crowd that goes there, it can be a bit of a hassle.

    However if you go around happy hour time, or during the afternoon to pick up one of their fantastic burgers and a beer, you'll avoid the student rush and discover this place for what it was meant to be: a casual, laid back place to grab a beer and relax.

    When i finished up my senior engineering project, meaning that all the work i ever had to do in college was complete, where did we all go to celebrate at 4:30 in the afternoon? You guessed it, Bay's.
