Reviews Summary

Mad Dogs British Pub on the Riverwalk offers an authentic pub experience with a lively atmosphere and a diverse menu, including highly praised fish and chips. While many enjoy the location, friendly staff, and entertainment, some diners have noted issues with food temperature and quality, alongside high prices for certain items. The service, particularly from specific bartenders and servers, is often highlighted as a positive aspect of the dining experience.

"They had a ton of tasty items on the menu! There are a lot of drink options and some good desserts as well! It’s a unique change of pace to get some British food here in the States! The servers were all very kind and they even have a bouncer which was nice to see for everyone’s security. It’s right next to the river and it was so tranquil and serene to eat here outside!"

Adam White

"Had a great experience. Was out on the town one night looking to grab a nice craft beer. Was greeted and approached by a very friendly hostess while I was browsing the menu and insisted I go in. I said okay and it was wonderful. Very packed and friendly with a band. I Sat at the bar and miss Gabriella was probably the best service bartender I’ve had in years. If you sit at the bar definitely ask for her. Very professional and made my experience a delight by her conversations and knowledge of the establishment. The beer was cold and the staff was friendly even the band shouted me out! I highly recommend this place , they even have food for the whole family. My new go to spot"

"Sabrina did a great job taking care of us. It was our first time there. I went with my friend and her kids to check it out. We love the food and had a wonderful time together. It’s right on the river, got to see ducks and pretty scenic views along the way. Would definitely recommend it. 😁"

San Antonio Live Music

Specialty cocktails, live music, live DJs and plenty of drink specials make Mad Dogs a British style pub on the River Walk that's worth the walk. A menu of pub grub makes Mad Dogs San Antonio a great place to start bar hopping from because a bite to eat can be ordered with the first round of drinks. Behind the bar, attractive ladies sling drinks to the crowds of twenty and thirty somethings in attendance for dancing or whatever band has taken over the stage for the evening.

Why Pearl District Makes for a Much Better San Antonio Vacation Than the Overblown River Walk

The city’s wide-open Pearl District, with its safety conscious Saturday Farmers Market, and plenty of patio dining and specialty stores to peruse is very different from the River Walk.
