The Porch is downtown San Marcos’ best spot for live music, pool and people watching! Our bar opens onto Hopkins St. so you can grab a beer, listen to some music, play darts or hang with your dog and watch the day roll by. Perfect spot for beating the heat after floating the river. Order burgers, fries, chip & queso, wings and other bar snacks from The Taproom Kitchen while you’re here. Dog & family friendly during the daytime hours. We offer private rentals as well. Let us host your parties! Good for holidays, corporate, birthdays, sororities, fraternities, and more!

Joey and Rachel are the absolute best bartenders! Me and my friends always enjoy the atmosphere they bring to the porch and are regulars at this point. No other bar has the vibes that this place. Towanda must be talking about another bar, because that’s not the porch I know.

While the atmosphere was chill, we witnessed a few disturbing things regarding sanitation/food safety. We witnessed a bar guy (not sure if he was a bartender) place the ice scoop on his personal drinking vessel), and we witnessed a different bar person-younger guy- blow his nose at the bar, and didn’t wash his hands, before going on to touch cleaned dishes, etc. He also didn’t wash his hands when he initially came into work. These things are disturbing amd can affect customers like myself, returning. Thank you

The bouncer was harassing me I am 20 years old and I was going to see a show at this bar the flyer said 18+ no cover and I was still supposed to pay cause I was 20 I was constantly harassed by the bouncer I had to take a phone call and he told me I wasn’t going to be aloud back in if I walked out again and when I was watching the concert almost every 15 mins to ask to see my hands he would grab my shoulder hard it hurt me and I was genuinely scared every time there were multiple people with the under 18+ markings on their hands were never approached I was the only one the whole time who was harassed I’m a female and a big man grabbing me every time aggressively to tug me and tell me to show me your hands is very wired and I get it your a bouncer but when I’m the only male or female in the entire place is awfully

Bartenders are bad with giving the correct change back. I’m not sure if she thought we wouldn’t notice the extra $20 she gave herself, but we did and chose not to say anything to her. She obviously needed the money more than we did but we will choose NOT to go back for this reason. Female bartender on Friday, March 21st mid day.

Genuinely had a really good time here! Live music was nice and the crowd was really cool. My only complaint is I had my service dog with me- and no not just an emotional support animal, a trained service dog to assist with my disability. Since it was loud punk music playing we had already planned to sit on the patio hence why I didn’t correct the door man and didn’t wanna make it a big deal(plus it would’ve been hard for him to hear me over the music anyway), but I went out of my way to tell the doorman “Just so you know, he’s a service animal” and he had a vest clearly marked as such, I was letting him know in case we had to go into the bar to use the bathroom or anything. In response he said “Okay, but all dogs have to stay on the patio”. He wasn’t rude, it was just clear to me he wasn’t educated on the fact service dogs are by law considered medical equipment and have public access rights, including inside bars or food establishments so long as they are not behind the bar or in the kitchen.

Again not at all unhappy! And like I said we were planning on sitting outside anyway, but I felt as if I couldn’t go in and use the bathroom or anything in fear of being asked to leave. He was just doing his job and didn’t know, maybe the bar has had experiences before with fake service dogs and thats why he said that, but it would be nice if maybe the staff had a brief meeting educating on service dog public access, ADA laws, and etiquette 🙂 overall the place had a very nice vibe and we had a good time!
