Reading the former reviews I can't help but notice that the complainers were all part of the same group of people (check the dates). When I see this it raises my suspicion levels to high. They all pretty much said the same thing which might indicate that maybe the owner had a problem with said group! I've been to the bar several times and it did not smell, the bar staff has always treated me well and I noticed everyone else was being taken care of by courteous waitresses. Just saying don't always believe everything you read on the internet.

$30 for 2 domestics, 1 Dos xx and 3 well shots. we are by no means cheap but they are more expensive than downtown prices. the bar tender Jennifer is nice but not enough to keep the bar open. she could make more money elsewhere. the shady lady should thank her for her trouble.

Last time i went bartender was to busy talking to so called customers [more like friends]it took 10 minutes for her to realize we were standing there WAITING to get serviced after one beer we left not so great taking out of town guest that's why i tell people there's always another bar around the corner waiting for your business

I give them one star because i cant give less. mmmmm, well, where to start. maybe by saying that this establishment is a health hazard and probably needs some serious inspections. There is no easy way of saying this, the place smells like urine, everything is dirty inside (i mean wtf??) these people never seen a duster??. the drinks are very pricy and the owner of the bar is very rude (no wonder this place was empty) anyway.. probably if it was turned into a biker joint and marihuana was sold n there they might be able to get away with all the cosmetic problems. this place seems like it has seen better days. Another thing that i need to point out is that the bathrooms lack attention and here is something for the staff to think about (hello clorooooox) so in summary there it is, dirty place, dirty bathrooms, pricy drinks, rude owner, urine smell, health hazard. Save your money or give it to the poor dont go to this place.

If I am allowed to give NO star, I would. That rating of 1 star only exist for the sake of writing. In all unbiased manner, the Shady Lady Saloon is small and dirty, has a really bad stench that smells like no one cleans the place, offers overpriced drinks especially for such a small bar, and to top it off has horrible customer service. The owner NEVER greets anyone- he is rude and curt when spoken to, and does nothing but sit in the corner of his bar pouting all night like an old fart because he is dissatisfied with everything. If you really want to go to a good bar with great service, features, drinks specials, and music- do NOT go here. That is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Ok thought I'd check out this bar with friends after work, never do that again. I'm going to stick our usual places. We walked in and there was no one there except the bartender and one guy that looked like he really shouldn't be drinking anymore. We ordered a few drinks and were surprised there wasn't any specials at all, so we got our drinks which were a bit pricey, it wasn't some fancy bar on the North side. I headed to the ladies room, when I opened the stall door there was a dirty sanitary product on the floor, well we left at that point, never to return. I later found through other friends that had been there that I was lucky the owner wasn't there because he has a horrible reputation and is extremely rude. Thank goodness I didn't have to deal with that also. This place should have been named the Dirty Lady.

This place smells like urine! The owner is very rude and they have no specials. They will only play country music. I am a friend of a DJ that played there one night and he brought a serious crowd as always. The owner was very rude to us and the poor DJ that supplied the whole crowd he had that night.

i was there awhile back. with a bunch of people. I know i had alot of fun and the ber was really good and very well priced and the mixed drinks oh yeah. now that is what i enjoy.

A wonderful get away! Great people, bartenders are prompt and friendly, darts, pool, shuffleboard, jukebox. Depending on the night they have karaoke, food, various leauges.. By far my absolute favorite spot in San Antonio!!
