Be Kind & Rewind: Reviews & Ratings
I’ve been here 3x and have only gone during Fiesta, so my experience may be different from an ordinary night. It’s always PACKED! Music and vibes are always good. I knew this year I’d want a place to sit (I’m getting too old to be on my feet all night). I rented a VIP booth and it was totally worth it! Ninah took really good care of us! She even ran off some random strangers that tried to be in our booth with us. The booth was a good place to dance once the dance floor was too packed to move. Covid ruined me when it comes to personal space, so I’ll pay for the booth every time I go! I love this place! It’s great for all ages, but the older folks can appreciate the nostalgia.
So much fun!!! Wish they sold snacks instead of having to leave but with no cover it was perfect!
Went on a Thursday in October! The decorations are awesome! The Halloween theme with 80s/90s decor were awesome! The arcade games however are broken, wish they worked! Couldn't play space invaders! It wasn't too crowded and the music was good! Would recommend coming to this place if looking to hangout with friends!
Awesome place! Very unique. Staff was great. Only complaint is they took our chairs from us while we were sitting at the bar. We left after that because there was nowhere to sit.
Be Kind & Rewind Bar in San Antonio is an absolute blast from the past! The moment you step in, you’re transported straight back to the early 2000s, with a vibe that’s both nostalgic and energetic. It’s the perfect spot to hang out with a group of friends, whether you’re in the mood to dance the night away or just chill and enjoy some arcade games. Speaking of arcades, most of them are free, which makes this place even more amazing. It’s so much fun to relive those childhood memories while soaking in the retro atmosphere. The drinks here are simple but spot on—just what you need to keep the good vibes going all night. The ambience is awesome, with a perfect mix of fun and laid-back energy that makes it impossible not to have a great time. If you’re looking for a place to kick back, dance, and have an unforgettable night, Be Kind & Rewind is where you need to be.
This is one of THE BEST places to pop in for an afternoon cocktail or have late night drinks with some dancing to the good ol' flashback music of the 80s and 90s! It's like traveling back through time! DJ & Manager, Adrian Martinez, and his crew always make our visits memorable. It's so fun taking friends and family there for the first time. Private booths available with drink service Drink menus are printed on VHS cases Free video games & pinball machines One-of-a-kind Pac-Man chair (Rad!) Just to name a few fun features! A special shout-out to Be Kind & Rewind for donating gift cards to our recent charity event benefiting "Dress for Success - San Antonio!" We're your biggest fans! Thank you for your Texas hospitality. #AgentVal Always house-hunting & supporting our local hot spots, Val J Aranda & Jennifer Alvarado A Wonderful Life Real Estate Group RE Solutions XV-San Antonio
This place is usually packed with a line out the door on a Friday or Saturday night, so we had never been inside. Thursday night had the doors wide open for us. We immediately fell into our past memories and vibes of the 80s once we walked through the doors. We had a great time taking pictures and videos of all the cool decor. They have plenty of cool drinks for everyones desired taste. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be bringing our friends and family back for future weekend adventures.
You want to talk about a place where everyone is just having an amazing time and the vibes are spectacular? This is it! You get tired of seeing the same old twerking and what not. Sometimes you just want to jump in the air, wave your hands, and feel like there’s no worries for the rest of the night. We went in at 1130ish and didn’t leave until 145ish. Mainly to beat the crowds out. The design of this place is amazing and so fun to look around. 10/10 would do it all over again! Oh yeah, if you go you might want to bring hearing protection. My ears were ringing when we left and I still had some loss the next day. That music wasn’t hitting BLARING!
