The Original OKRA Charity Saloon

What could be a better combo than an old fashion and a good old fashion chocolate chip cookie! Honestly not sure that I’ve had a better cookie. I love that they give back to nonprofits and the bartender was kind and attentive.

Great downtown bar. It's awesome they donate profits to charity. Drinks were excellent and the service was friendly and quick. The glass ceiling gives it a different atmosphere than other bars which was nice as there was some lightning when we went.

First time here and it was a great time! Kira was such an amazing time and very knowledgeable and personable. The vibe and atmosphere was so comfortable and I’d definitely be back to make this my “go to” bar. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and the positive atmosphere!!

The atmosphere was a breath of fresh air compared to the other bars nearby. It's definitely a "chill and sip" bar and not a "dancing/nightclub" bar. I had the hummus plate, corn dogs, and cookies. SO DELICIOUS! Kitchen closes at 12 am btw. I loved that we get to vote for a non profit and on the right wall are organizations that benefited from them in previous years. I had the immaculate conception and pomegranate sparkler (both non-alc) and they were sweet like juice. The bartender was on her A-game. I don't remember her name but she was awesome.

The bartender with the pink hair and Milwaukee shirt was very rude about my group asking questions about different whiskies we wanted to try. We're not bartenders so we don't know, and we weren't trying to get free samples like he was implying. We were trying to figure out what we wanted to order because there were whiskies we hadn't seen at the bar we usually go to in San Antonio. We were recommended by a previous worker we met that it's a great wedding venue and were trying to scope it out for that. It was nice looking, but that guy wasn't very cool or welcoming. My friend won't be booking this venue. We tried to get information because we know angel share does private events but we couldn't hold the bartenders attention to get information tho we were one of the only groups at the bar, because he wanted to get his photos taken by his friend that was there. I think he thought we didn't have money like that, which is insanely rude. You can't tell based off looks. My buddy would have, but because this is how the staff treated us we made him keep looking. We learned from other bartenders on main street the owner doesn't even donate monthly like they say, and that sealed the deal for him. Scam bar. Go to Captain FoxHearts if you want bartenders that treat you like people. They have a better selection and better prices anyway. I don't think they do weddings, they were too busy to ask, but at least the bartenders are polite. I'm gay, so he can't say it's because he is too by the way. It was a very weird experience. I've been treated nicer in small country bars than here. Food was good when it finally came out, even if it was cold. Not the worst for a bar.
