Getting worse -

   Vangard10 - 07/12/2008

There was a time that Carmen's was an OK - say again, OK - place. You could go, relax, get some good, if not great, music, etc. for a fair price. Nowadays, it is still an OK place - but Holy Moley! Where did these prices come from? By the time you pay the entry fee and the over-the-top prices for tapas and drinks, you are looking at a Ben Franklin for "OK" food and "OK" entertainment. If you are looking for some fun on St. Mary's on a weekend, go to Demo's down the street.

Absolutely THE best hang-out in San Antonio

Carmen's has been a respected restaurant as well as a popular destination for fans of jazz music and flamenco dance since the day it opened. If you are searching for an intimate and personal location, unique to San Antonio, look up Carmen's. It's owned and operated by a friendly mother/daughter team, who will make sure you have a positive experience there. Yes it is small, and yes I wish they would market more to the general poulation of San Antonio, the nation's 8th largest city whose nightlife, sadly, is dominated by chain restaurants and bars and by the reputaion of the riverwalk. But even if you have to sit outside, the funky vibe, the friendly service, and the tasteful decorations of the restaurant make the experience worth the visit...

Great place, but if you sit outside, the doors are closed and you can barelty hear the music.. you are still expected to pay the $5 cover!! Go early so you can get a seat inside.
