A real stage, a room that sings along

The stage sits in the corner under purple and blue lights, with room for a full drum kit and a crowd that likes to get close. Cover bands, country, rock and acoustic duos all come through, and the regulars know most of the words.

Lefty's is a neighborhood bar in San Antonio first, so the music fits around everything else: the late game on the big screens, a round of cold drafts, and the pool tables.

  • No cover for bands, DJs or karaoke
  • Most live sets start around 9:30 PM
  • Patio seating if you want to hear it from outside

Karaoke nights

Grab the mic. Nobody's judging.

Karaoke at Lefty's runs off a full host setup with the lyrics up on the screen, a proper mic and speakers that make everybody sound a little better than they are. Birthday groups, first timers and the regulars with a signature song all take a turn.

Karaoke and DJ nights land on the monthly calendar alongside the bands, so check the dates and bring your crew.
