Was staying at hotel next door and had just walked back from hemisfair park..I was tired and just wanted to get some food and go to sleep..Didn't feel like driving anywhere so I went here and when I walked in the guy just looked at me like who are you?Like he couldn't believe I had money to pay or something..I mean I was dressed casual but there were patrons there that were less dressed..Anyways I ordered a burger to go and while I waited also ordered a margarita..Quickly he said uhmm I'm gonna need you to close your tab.I was like ok..Usually I just open a tab and cash out on my way out..I guess he thought I didn't have any money..Maybe I'm wrong but that's what it felt like.I still left a 30 percent tip and was on my way..I didn't feel to welcome here..maybe because I was the oldest person here IDK..🤔
Update::October 1 2025

We had dinner here while we waited for a comedy show and WOW! The burgers were AMAZING! Excellent service, too! Will be coming back!

After a long evening of walking around town and having a very poor experience elsewhere, we walked into this sweet pub called Fancis Bogside. The waiters and the manager were both very friendly and accommodating towards my family. My son ordered a delicious pizza that they provided from the wine bar/pizza place next door, I ordered a yummy Caesar salad with fried shrimp, and my husband got the fried shrimp, as well. Great texture and flavors across the board. And the karaoke was fun for all of us, too! Thanks again, guys!!

Thanks for stopping by and the kind words. Glad we were able to make your visit to San Antonio a little better. Hope to see you again soon!
Came to Francis Bogside for a dinner date. At first a little unsure because it was new but was pleasantly surprised. Aaron, our bartender was so helpful to decide which foods we should try. We ordered the pretzel by his recommendation and it did not disappoint! We ordered the fish and chips, steak and fries that Aaron recommended and it was absolutely delicious. While we waited for our food, sitting at the bar we ordered several house cocktails. We order the “Sea gets hotter”- on the spicy said if you like that but with a unique flavor. “Forget me Nots”- if you like grapefruit (doest’t have grapefruit lol but absolutely delicious and my faves for sure!) “Arrack The Casbah”- very refreshing, “Ain’t that a Peach”- on the stronger side but one of my faves as well!
We will definitely be back to sit at the bar and enjoy more drinks from Aaron.
If you’re looking for chill vibes, good conversation, delicious food and uniques cocktails! Visit Bogside and see Aaron!

Thanks for the kind review. Hope to see you again soon!
Ridiculous service. Went in on the promise of a comedy night, thought why not. Went in and eventually found out it was down stairs, not a problem. No bar down stairs, ok back up to the bar. Barman was more concerned with training another bartender, drinking and flashing cash about rather than serving paying customers. Left and got a pizza elsewhere
