Terrible terrible club. If ur under 21 don’t go anywhere near anyone who had or has alcohol because they assume the worst. Got thrown out with my bro cuz he was near me when I was drinking and I’m of age and he wasn’t but he was near me so he got thrown out. Even though I didn’t give him any alcohol and he was completely sober. Asked for a sobriety test for him and they wouldn’t breathalyze him, just straight up kicked me and him out. Security guards are super rude, stuck up and wouldn’t let me leave until I signed the “banned for 30 days” paperwork for providing a minor alcohol, and threatened to all the cops on me if I didn’t sign the paperwork. When I asked for the camera footage on his body camera of me giving him alcohol he said “it wasn’t recording” so it’s his word against mine. If you are underage don’t even show up it’s not worth the 20 dollars, you’ll get kicked out within minutes even though it’s 18+
I have been going here for the last 6 years with my best friend and we have both had an amazing time EVERY SINGLE TIME WE GO!!! By now we have made some amazing friendships and connections with some of the staff and by far one of the best experiences here has been with one of the bartenders Fernanda!!
This place is one of a kind…if you want to dance around 50 year old men and obese women this is def your scene. $4 doubles on a Friday night, so no complaints there…but omg I feel like I’m in a dream here…I’ve never wanted to throw up but simultaneously party more at the same time in my life, but here’s the spot
We unfortunately attempted to view a much anticipated drag show. We were not advised that we would be limited to where we could stand upon paying for admission. Upon entering area where admission was held there were numerous empty seat and areas - we stumbled upon an area where a pillar blocked and provided access to us viewing the upcoming show. We were then advised we could not stand there after paying $20 per person =$80 — we were refused a refund and stated we should know where we could stand 🤣 — please do your homework before visiting
INCREDIBLE. Just incredible. Anyone who walks through the door of the Bonham Exchange is a part of history. And besides that, the drinks are cheap!
It was my first time their and it’s okay just expect to stand in a long line which lasts about 15-20mins.Music is pretty good just a really awkward crowd. Drinks are good for a fair price. Overall I think it’s overrated been to better clubs.
I started going to the Bonham Exchange at 18 years old. Since then, Ive been to nightclubs all over the US, in Asia, and Europe. The Bonham is absolutely one of the best. I got a chance to go back last night. Its been 18 years and its still magic. And the DJ played my song!
Great music. Danced all night long. Drinks where tasty. Parking is $10.00
It can be hit or miss but thats any club or bar, even the most popular ones. Check their socials for events if you want to know when things are happening, pretty fun spot.
Far too loud. Rude people. Wouldn’t recommend... and the roaches aka the men there 🤢 not a fun time.. but if you want to electric slide with roaches, it’s just for you
Drinks are a lil small for the price so come pregamed but a great place to explore and dance with friends (or make new ones)
The security guards at this place is gonna end up getting this club shut down and their security company in trouble. There are things security guards can and cant do, they arent police officers. They cant legally ask someone for their ID and if that person refuses, security cant do anything but escort them out and thats it!! Security cannot ask for ID because they have no business asking anyways, they cannot hold onto anyones ID, failure to ID with a security guard is not a crime. Another thing is that security guards need to actually see something happen THEMSELVES! They cant go based off what an employee says, otherwise they cant legally do anything. Theres no probable cause, Get better security that think they arent cops, at the end of the day its all about observe & report. Another thing when it comes down to security doing pat downs on males and having bags searched, the establishment needs to have signs posted stating bags will be searched and guys will be patted down
A San Antonio stapel when it comes to night club life and a strong LGBTQ supporter.
This club is a move!!! We came here for my bachelorette party (were from out of state) and there was plenty of different rooms! We also didnt get any creepy vibes, which was obvi a huge deal for us. Awesome experience all around.
If you want to dance and have a good time, this is your place.
Great on Saturday nights. Live from the radio station. Great drinks great dance floors lots of women. Buffet. Definitely recommend
Went here to watch some drag shows.
Surprisingly, as busy as the place is they really keep up with keeping those bathrooms clean and stocked. The music is top 40 and NEVER CHANGES. Same songs every single time. Every room is the same kind of music. For a gay club there isnt much fun music like 80s or techno. Just the same thumping jump music. One Calvin Harris Feat after another. Also for a gay bar I like to play a game called Spot A Gay Person. I usually average about 4. NO LIE. Mostly a lot of Middle Eastern dudes trying to grind up on any female in sight. Go with a posse. Drink before you go because the drinks are only strong if you order it that way. No Dress Code. DJM3 is the best.
My jacket was stolen together with my passport and ssc and and the establishment did not help me get it back.
Have always had a great time at the Bonham. Prices are reasonable, crowd is fun, and the music is great.
Don’t come to this place it’s infested wit roaches 🤦♂️😱
I was patted down by armed security prior to entry and counted four armed guards patrolling the inside. Ive been to gay bars in NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, San Francisco, Detroit, Milwaukee and Dallas. This was the first time Ive ever felt unsafe inside an LGBT bar.
Absolutely love it here. Great people awesome music and really good drink specials!! The bonham is like family and place where you can go and feel comfortable. Their security is amazing as well and they make sure everyone is safe. So if your looking for a new Saturday night spot this is definitely the place to be!!!
Last weekend my friend and I got wayyy overcharged on our drinks, altogether we payed 400$ together… how can 3 people drink worth of 400$ ? Never gonna return back to bonham even tho it’s my to go to spot won’t do that mistake twice
Had fun the dancers were cool they had something for everyone it was a good experience will be coming here soon with my crew
💕
Fell down the stairs completely sober! Just vibin’ too hard to the music - 10/10!
This place is amazing but today for some reason i got banned entry supposely for sonething i never did.the black girl working at the entrance so rude and no help whatsoever too bad for this place to lose costumers just like this
Best club in San Antonio!!!
I always have a blast when visiting the bottom. If you want different music and options, what better place to go than bonham.
Dancing is a lot of fun here!
My husband, cousin & several friends enjoy going. We have friends who just moved back to Cotulla, Texas from Chicago. We are planning to go. We cant wait. My cousin Cissy, my husband & I have celebrated our birthdays there & love it🦋🌈💚*;0)
Awesome 😎
3 floors of music... Outdoor patio... Good people.
Great experience place is so big hard to meet people 😂
Cool place, cheap drinks
Rude staff at the entrance
Cant wait to come back!
Pathetic, they said they were closed to improve this place, but I didnt see any improvement. All the opposite Stuff extremely rude, and security guard treating people as if they were at jail. Congrats the night was ruined for me and my friends.
It was pretty decent. I went with a friend last Friday during fiesta. It was fun as a minor and i didn’t feel like I needed to drink to have fun. It did kinda feel dead until after midnight and didn’t really feel like a *gay* bar because every guy had a girl he wasn’t grinding on but. ¯_(ツ)_/¯. There also didn’t seem to be anyone my age.
The bouncers and security guards are extremely rude and unprofessional. I went one night and had my 1.5-inch pocket knife with me. Threw it away, UNDERSTANDABLY. Safety first. That’s extremely respectable. When leaving the club, I was looking at the top of the trash to see if the knife was still there to see if I could snag it. The bouncer began SCREAMING that I was “reaching for the box cutter! He’s reaching for the box cutter!!!” Causing a huge scene and being extremely dramatic and unprofessional. The security guard gripped his gun on his belt and told me to step away from the trash can and patted me down, then told me to leave or I’d be arrested. Really? It’s one thing to be safe and protect patrons. It’s a completely different thing to cause a huge scene in front of other guests entering the club. Absolutely appalling behavior.
If you like good house music and, do you like to dance this is a place for you.
I love this place ❤ I just wish theyd open already
Visited Saturday 12/28/13. A 15 year New Yorker, I grew up in San Antonio and remember the Bonham as a laid back, welcoming club with great music for dancing, not for posing and looking good. The welcoming, laid back part is still true but I was very disappointed with the music. All three rooms felt like mostly rap/hip-hop. Why have 3 rooms if youre not going to vary the music. When the DJ would mix in good music, he would play maybe 20 seconds of it, then switch to 20 seconds of another song. Yes, your mixing skills are impressive, and very welcome when switching songs. But how about you play the whole song?I dont think its just that Im old (44). When I was in the front room, where the dance floor is smallest but the music is best, when 80s music came on, everyone got on the floor, including girls who had to be in their 20s.Great venue, cover and drink prices. Too bad about the music.
I haven’t been in there since I was 18 and that’s been ages lol but it’s always crowded with wait at door. I drove someone there since they going to drink plus my son and told him it’s a place to have fun he agreed saying it wasn’t just fun it was going to be a great memory for him. Everyone should have it once and they’ll love it
Awesome dance club
Very cool indeed!
A very fun place to party. The atmosphere is phenomenal. Three levels all with their own dance floors. Huge patio. With a food truck on the weekends. Very popular with the locals and the tourist. Very affordable drink prices.
Usually go with friends at the end of our night from 12-2am on first Fridays. The place is always fun and they have great music on all the rooms. Has never let us down as our go to spot, drinks are really good too and decently priced.
Best dance floors in SA
Weak drinks
Always fun, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. During the week only the down stairs bar is open. The old guy taking the money on the weekend though, seems to have a bit of an attitude. The door person outside of the club checking IDs told me to show the guy inside, taking the money, my Texas Drivers Licence showing Im a veteran. On Fridays there is no cover for veterans and military. I did as was told and the guy still charged full price. He says, I cant see that, besides thats not a military ID. My thinking was, Im just doing what your door person told me to do?! And its not like someone can forge their Texas License to say youre a veteran. I ended up showing him my military ID and he gave me cash back. The whole thing though was just real aggravating, and not a very good first impression. Besides the grumpy guy, it was a blast. Karaoke on Wed is nice and relaxed as well!
This is the best place to have fun! You dont have to be gay to have fun at The Bonham! You can feel free to be yourself and enjoy great music and awesome drinks in a great environment!
On Friday july 12 at midnight. There was a 10 minute wait to get in. Most of the crowd was under the age of 21 or barely over. The place was huge, many different themed rooms, but was not the type of crowd for dancing your face off. If you prefer a crowded dance floor, this is not your place. If you dont mind being in the spotlight because so few people are dancing, then this is your place.
I went on one of their Thursday retro nights and wasnt really amused. No retro music, the place had an obvious mildewy odor, and doesnt looked very well taken care of. I know its a historic building but it could be revamped.
Recommended from 3 differnet strangers. We came here and Love it!!! Drinks were really inexpensive and there were multiple dance floors to pick from!!! Coming back!!!
How do I say this.... this place ROCKS! I have been going there starting at age 18. This is one of the best clubs in SA, it is part of our LGBTQ+ 🌈community. However anyone can go here and have a blast, primarily club mixes but they have other rooms hip hop and 80s
Unusual and adventurous is the best way to describe this night club. The music is trendy and there are choices depending on the floor you go the music changes. Well worth the experience.
You take vacation in San Antonio TX hoy Need take party here Bonham exchange terrace, electric music pool tables ,5bar in one
Lots of fun, so many different rooms with different vibes. Youre sure to find some place you like!
Drinks priced decent. Several dance floors. Great music! Great vibes
Its a pretty cool club, weird set up and the same songs were playing over and over. Id go again if I was invited but I wouldnt go out of my way to return.
Great place to go especially if youre 18 and up. But, if younger than 21 there is a 15 dollar charge which is kinda high. But, theres music for everyone from EDM to Rap to Latin. Really good set up and meet a lot of fun and interesting people. The only thing is restrooms are kinda small and packed but what club restroom isnt.
One of the better establishments in San Antonios nightlife scene. Great drinks at low prices and great service at the bars. The club has multiple levels so you can move about and not be stuck in one spot.
Its always a good time at the Bonham if you go late enough. $3 for a vodka shot and pretty ok music on the first and second floor. Also, they often have make and female go-go dancers which is fun to watch.
My FAVORITE club. Music I can actually dance to & live it up with my best friend, as often as I need and want! 😍
Nice place to get sum drinks maybe dance without any hassle. 😉😱😊Some nights not too crowded but still a very fun relaxing place. Great attitudes for fun times.
Always the best time no matter when you go: music is great, multiple rooms with multiple choices! 5 star atmosphere every single time. Totally worth waiting in line.
Just love this place never a dull moment and I feel so safe here! We use the same bartender every time he is the best and I always am excited to go back!
I went a couple years ago for the masquerade ball with my girlfriend and I had the best time ever. Shopping for the outfits was just as fun as the club. I would do it again. Somebody please let me know when they will be having another one. This time I will be taking my fiance(a guy). Lets see how this goes.It was just way too crowded, and lots of stairs. I was way too intoxicated for heels + stairs. That = exhaustion + shoe removal
Bonham Exchange is my favorite club in San Antonio. I enjoy going here because the mix is very eclectic and friendly. I usually like to sit back, have a few drinks and observe what is going on around me. The music here is really great and the drinks are STRONG!
Great drinks and specials!! Fun atmosphere and the best music!! Love it!! 👍🏼🎉🎊
So much fun!!! Good beer prices and fast service! And the variety of music and different rooms was awesome. I think its supposed to be a gay club but honestly there was a huge mix of everything.
This place has gotten a lot better. The bottom floor for dancing is the best. Good upbeat stuff
Went Saturday & I had so much fun ! Everybody is so nice & the venue is big . I was expecting more hip hop & spanish but wasnt very much , I went to every floor . The bottom floor is my favorite over all !
A lot of fun! Lots of positive vibes! Drinks were great! Good music!
Entered near ten, it was not crowded. Definitely worth a return trip. This place has a good design.
Three stories full of fun and merriment! Theres literally something for everyone! Dance floors, a pool table room, another dance floor, AND an outdoor space? Plus $3 dollar happy hour drinks ( $6 for top shelf?!) Who can beat that? Great for a night of lgbt fun! Theres also a bag and coat check in, so theyll guard your stuff while you enjoy yourself.
This place is awesome. I loved the room that played only house/trance/other EDM. I was very happy to find a place that played our kind of music. Especially on our first trip out on the town. We tipped the bartender fabulously and our service went from good, even though she was pretty busy, to fantastic. I will not just be back, but will frequent this place as much as I can.
The music was good and the drinks were not too expensive. Its a three story building with multiple types of music. Overall it was fun but not an every weekend type of club. At least not for me
***disclaimer: do NOT try to bring your eye drops in here. They will freak out on you. According to one employee, “3 drops could kill someone.” Expect to just have dry eyes all night long.Now, if you’ve accepted you won’t be able to see most of the night because they took your eye drops, this place is pretty neat. There are tons of rooms, three floors, tons of bars. It’s cool that this place has such a long history in San Antonio.Vicki in the Wonder Woman bar is awesomeeeee. I love her.
This place was so fun! It was within walking distance from our hotel and the streets were well lit. The music is lively and you are never in want of a dancing partner.
I went for $3 cocktail night and the bartenders were so good! The the three stories have me plenty of room to explore and the back patio is so nice!
Fist time there will be again tomorrow. This place is fantastic if you love to dance.
Great drink prices and an exciting layout and dance floor. Like an old school house. Lots of security which wasn’t a buzz kill but it’s not a place to be too rowdy
I enjoyed this place. Been living in SA my whole life and went here for the first time last night. We got there at 8, so glad we did because when we left around 11ish there was a line to get in! We didnt have to pay cover.I like that its lgbtq+ friendly, I didnt notice any fights or aggression. Security patted down my male partner and used a wand on me.We liked the floor at the top, the DJ was good and theres plenty of space for everyone.Next time we will visit the game room.
This place was rocking all night long and I enjoyed it, my 1st experience in a club and people were getting down, I felt safe here and did not worry about anything but enjoying the night
One of the Best Clubs in San Antonio. The Mix crowd, and friendly people draws my friends and I here at least once a week. Hot guys, and Major babes, of all sexual orientations groove out on the 3 floors plus The billiard room.
This is my “must go to” place when I am in San Antonio! Marcus and the crew are fantastic! The service is good and the drinks are good for the price.
Been here twice to party with my wife and cousin. It is very secure, security is always patrolling. I love the different rooms for different sounds. Drinks are inexpensive as well!
Awesome place. Big space. Lots of people great music. Must go!
Love the music!!
Leddy is the best bartender ever! She’s on the patio in the back and she’s now my new best friend in San Antonio! Best drink special ever!
Needs to go back to the way it use to be when it was Gay. Now its mixed with more straight ppl. Ugh go find your own bar to go to. Take all those wanna be straight men with you
This use to be an awesome place to go to when i was younger. This was my 1st gay bar/club. It has pushed out so many gay guys. Now all I see are a bunch of straight perverted men ruining the vibe trying to hook up with the girls. This is not a gay bar anymore. Sad.
I really liked the different types of music they had to offer, great sound system and I like the way they have there lighting set up. This will always be one of my favorite places to go.
Very old vibe. It was kind of high school mood.just two big space and some bar. But drink is cheap.
Its technically a gay bar, but you will find all sorts of people here. Like a lot of clubs in general, there is a mix of girlfriends who get dressed up to go out on the town, guys on the prowl, and people who just like to drink and dance. Sometimes, it can feel slightly ghetto, but the cool architecture and renovated warehouse feel is unique to San Antonio clubs in this area.There are several different rooms, so you can choose where to hang out based on your music (and crowd) tastes. Note that it is not really near a strip of clubs, bars, or restaurants, so you will probably need to taxi/drive.
Def the best club downtown. Its got enjoyable music for everyone. Some of the bartenders make skimpy shots so access every bar in the joint and find the best one. Theres about 10 different bars inside! Sometimes people selling tacos and pizza will be coming through later in the evening. They dont close until 3am on weekends, although bars legally have to close @ 2 in Texas. Its definitely a favorite between me and my friends so go have yourself a good night 💙😁
Went here late with friends from out of town and had a blast without breaking the bank
Awesome crowd and the drinks were tasty. Plenty of room for dancing or take a stroll to the different dance rooms.
Great staff and management.. I love this historical place
Everyone is so friendly. The only place I go to dance. It its safe, and Im free to dance and dress as eccentric as I want. Open to gay, straight, all races, all gender variants, all ages.I wish they played more EDM. I normally leave at 11 or 12 as it gets too grindy and ghetto.Gogo dancers seem to push me off the stage to stretch. I highly enjoy dancing on the stage.
Always a blast to come here when PAX south is in town. The music is great and the bartenders are super helpful.
I had been going to this place every weekend untill one of the barrenders got my friends baned because she “saw all of them in a stall (they are very small stalls) consuming drugs” I called the manager and she was very rude calling me a liar putting words in my mouth that I never said! I’ve met some very great people here but never again going back! Horrible staff 😢After reading a few reviews the real problem is the bartenders!
Many years hav passed since I was last there. when it was all gay. I believe it is unrivaled.It has been the best bar in south then and now.
Its an okay club with many different kinds of people, but there were several fights. One of them including a bartender there. Other than that it was good music and an okay time.
Nice place to go for in Downtown for three different floors with different levels of music. The best thing about this place is ‘All are welcome’. Happening place in town especially for tourists to enjoy san antonio at its best with multicultural crowd.
I heard great things about this after hours club. A friend of mine & I got there at 2:27 to finish our last night out in San Antonio, the door man said no one else could come in and that we were to leave immediately. Very rude & unfriendly. My friend and I were going to purchase non alcoholic drinks inside as well as the cover charge. It is advertised online that they are open till 3am, not 2:27. Won’t be going back. I am a bartender myself, we don’t close down the bar early; we stay till the end. Very unprofessional.
Put the hours of operation on here, & maybe you wont get so many pestering calls from people who just want to know when yall open. Just some friendly advice
This place needs more security, the lesbians fight men a lot and no one tells them anything.
Went on a Friday night. 3 levels. Yes there will be gay ppl, but its a mix per level. Music is good club mixes. Crowd kinda young. No dress code. Everyone waa in comfy clothed (shorts, tanks and sandals) Overall I enjoyed my visit. Definitely will be back.
Three different levels to enjoy and dance to , plus the cover wasn’t too bad . Will be returning very soon !!
I loved this place! Its huge! And the music! God! What a wonderful place to dance and meet people.
Went to the HOTTEST spot in San Antonio last night and it was poppin!!! I personally love the ball room with the best bartender Danny hes fast, service with a smile, and very enjoyable to watch while waiting.
They dont play the best music seem to stay around the same genre most of the time , but with the right crowd youd have fun . Theyre in between very pricy and Inexpensive. On certain nights not sure about every night but the night I did the bathrooms of course were digusting makes you scared to sit down or touch anything . Its not nearly perfect , but it has it fun outgoing experience to make up for it .
Bartenders are amazing! Drinks are always delicious and at good prices too!
The most amazing club that I have ever been to the music is always great the environment is awesome because he does not like partying with gay people Ive never given a place 5 stars but this place does deserve them
AC dont work properly but great music.
I really don’t like the idea that men are the only ones being patted down. I asked the Female security why they didnt pat down women and she said because men wear heavier clothing . I guess next time im gonna wear a short dress and see if that is really the case. Sexist
Best club. Been going here since the 1990s. Gay club but heteros welcome!
This is a very nice club with a really good drinks and awesome people you should check it out if you want have a good time.
My friend and I went to this club and we went to the restroom (they weren’t labeled) at least from what we saw, but this bouncer came up to us immediately as we entered the restroom and started harassing us telling us a ‘woman’ can’t be in the restroom I went ahead and explained to him that I thought this was a ‘gay’ club and the I thought the restrooms were gender neutral and he started arguing with me, trying to fight me in the club! People even got involved because of how much of big deal he was making it was extremely embarrassing and insulting. I even told the man that I was not trying to argue with him but he proceeded to try to fight me even told me to ‘shut up and get out of here’ he followed me all the way down and I went to speak to a ‘manager’ who was no help at all. Very upsetting that this club does not care about the LGBT community. The only care about taking your money. Please take your business elsewhere.
I really like the verity of music. The overall place is ok, not bad. Definitely not nice.
Nice place except that I couldnt stay because the music was too loud. Really wouldve enjoyed it otherwise!
If you look for a fun place to go this is your best choice. We go with my friend, good music, drinks.
Well i am not sure what the problem is but the manager lee every tiime i visit he always gives me a mean look likes he wants to fight me i dont know why perhapps that is his sad personality or his sad life overall get over it lee and move on life is too short enjoy it
Very hot even during the winter you have a choice to pick what type of music you want to dance to with the different rooms
This used to be primarily a gay club but because the dancing space (3 floors of it with different music on each floor) and music is so awesome, it has turned into a mix of heterosexual couples, singles and gay people.Ive seen all age ranges there from 20 somethings to 40 somethings and everyone seems to get along. We have ended more than one pub crawl at this place and have never seen or experienced any problems with staff or other patrons.Its REALLY a fun place and great for dancing!
Someone needs to let the restroom attendant know that tips are earned, because it is absolutely ridiculous to ask for a tip for ONE MINT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER! As I grabbed one he AGGRESSIVELY grabbed my hand and FORCED ME to drop it. Idk if he was homophobic or what, but ASKING for a tip and being UNNECESSARILY AGGRESSIVE, WONT GET YOU ANYTHING.
It used to be my favorite club. I still go often. The shots even though they are not super expensive the quantity is less( smart way of screwing up people). Music is good and their non gay dance floor is nice.But lately I have been hearing some credit cards gets declined. Looks like they have been cheating with the amount charged to the card. One of my card got declined and I used a different card which went though. But sad thing is the amount charged were different on both cards.I think next time if I have to go I will use cash.
Im in my fortys and it was my first time to the Bonham and it was awesome ... made me feel young again music very upbeat and definitely going back with my wife and do some dancing....
The staff is wonderful! They took such good care of us. The one bartender was working really hard, it took him about 10-15 minutes to get our drinks but he was fast and made sure he got the customers according to who came up first. We had so much fun. The club itself is awesme. Theres three sections and each was playing a different genre of music. Well definitely be coming back 😊
I was asked at the door by security how many drinks I had before entry and I responded enough then he asked how many drinks to be specific, so I told him I had just arrived from the Marine Corps ball so I had about 4 beers and he said Im gonna deny your entry. Shocked. Im dissapointed I came here. He probably doesnt like military or maybe he was just bothered when i said i had enough. I definitely didnt mean it in a bad way though
This place is great especially on a Saturday night. We always go here for birthdays and just to hang out.
Yall this club is so dang lit! So many different kinds of scenes for whatever youre feeling for the night. If youre into EDM, Rap, of whatever then youll find it there.
Great atmosphere people were very friendly
It was a fun experience! I don’t go there often but I enjoyed myself.
The manager the gm the Dj..they all went out of their way to make our anniversary night special..thank you! Awesome night!
From my own personal experinces...best bar and dance bar in San Antonio. Lgbt friendly. Its consider a gay bar...but on average its mixed. But dif consider one of the main gay bars in the area. Has a huge dance floor...in addition 2 more dance area on 3 levels. The best drink special. Hip hop latin on top level. EDM on 2nd level and more EDM and some top 40 1st level main dance floor. 18yr welcome.
Luv luv luv the club great door staff . ...
Ill just start this from the first moment I walked into the door. I had never been here before and didnt know the rules so I had a cigarette in hand. I was rudely yelled at that, You cant smoke inside. So i was going to exit and finish my cigarette, but being the gentleman I was raised as I held the door open for the women entering the building. I was rudely yelled at again that I could not even smoke on the porch and I needed to go outside. Naturally I oblidged. All I can say is, theres a better way to talk to people than like theyre garbage.
First time here and hadnt been to a club in a minute. My hen and cokes....consistently strong! Music....ehhhh, but that didnt stop me from bustin a move or two. Really enjoyed the Mexican music and seeing the dancing and excitement that was displayed. People were uhhhh awkward or on their phones on the side all night. I was super confused by this...come out your house to then just sit on your phone?? OK? Most other people drunk and happy. Atmosphere felt safe. Id visit again.
Hit or miss, too many people. Security needs to be more involved since there is too many people there. Always extremely dirty in there too. Nothing is clean. let that be a warning. The front staff is horrible at everything they do, when you are about to go in, let that really be the first impression of this place because your impression based on just the front staff alone is really going to be the reality of this hyped up place.
I love going on the weekends. Saturday nights are really fun.
I liked dancing and having fun here. What I didnt like was that I felt really ignored and almost discriminated by a bartender. Im not gay and was ordering a drink for my husband and I and tried getting his attention several times, he just looked at me and then went on to serve other people that came in after me. I couldnt believe how he was being so nice to everyone else but a total douche to me. It was already 1:55 and I knew he was not going to serve me, I tried smiling, asking super politely..nothing. After a while when no one was ordering he said what? And took my order. When my husband paid him the exact amount he gave it to him kind of folded in half , the bartender got PISSED. He yelled for everyone to hear: dont f&$+ing fold your Fu&#ing money! While he straightened the dollars very vigorously and threw them in the register. What the hell???? Oh and he was giving a lot of limes to everyone, like more than needed. We ordered 2 tequila shots and got no limes , and as I was about to ask for some he looked at me straight in the eye and said no more limes, while the bucket beside him was full with them. Seriously??? What did I do to him to be treated that way? I will definitely come back here to dance but I will make sure to stay away from his bar.
Awesome music, great crowds, as soon as you walk in music just makes you wanna shake your butt! Always an awesome time there.
Great time! Not really gay. More of both! Great time!
ITS A GREAT PLACE TO HANG OUT AND HAVE A BLAST FROM THE PAST
I loved it went there last year with family and friends! Best club ive ever been too
Great club with a easy going atmosphere. Nice sound system.
There bartenders are so amazing nice, talk about service with a smile it was refreshing
Crappy employees, very rude. By far the worst club in San Antonio. Definitely do not recommend.
Weirdest place ive ever been to..but I had fun
Absolutely love this place favorite bartender would be rachel and danny badass bartenders ..
Nice place, way too crowded though and not nearly enough bartenders for the night.
Love it every time I go to this place is fun fun fun whit variety of music and bars plus I didnt know it was a guy club doesnt feel like that at all 👍
What ever you do, make sure you don’t stumble. My wife accidentally knocked a drink over when she went to hug me and they had our eye on us pretty hard after that and shortly after, they actually kicked us out. Drinks are really small compared to the price and crowd is awkward when it comes to dancing. Garbage place and bar, save your money and don’t go.
3 floors of fun. My favorite dance room is the basment.
Great people, great drink specials,and good music.
I wish I could leave 0 stars because we came for my littles cousins 1st club experience my older cousin who was over 21 got stopped and we got thrown out because she was stumbling but I m pretty sure they have never walked in heels this was her first time walking in heels and they threw us out with attitude might I add so I will never be going back to the Bonham ever and I encourage you to not go either rude people
Had a great time with hubby :) we will be back
Loved it!
Music good just to many teens some drinking .. To big for small croud i went 2 weeks i like it but need more adult ppl i wanted to go tomorrow for my bday but seen teens was not to much to choose or dance or just stand there looking how do the get the alcoholic beverages nd then the officer do nothing
Drinks are a bit pricey, but surrounding bars are about the same. Will definitely come back.
Great venue. Get in early for no cover
Clean beautiful peaceful atmosphere 😍😍😍😍😍.
You will find all types of people here.
It was just a different kind of club in my opinion. The building could of been a church before for all I know.
Big place with multiple djs. Usually pops around midnight. I wouldnt recommend minors trying to drink in this establishment as they are very good in catching them. It is 18+ but of course minors have to pay more id think its $10 and 21+ is $5. You follow them on fb they usually have ways for you to get in free with a passcode. Fav bartender is david z. Makes awesome shots. There is an outside patio for drinking amd smoking along with an outside bar.
STUPID FRICKIN SECURITY LIKE THIS ISNT A HIGH SCHOOL PROM. After spending 20 bucks on a drink which Im sure the chick was charging others with it... I let my GIRLFRIEND have TWO sips but she was underage.... sorry, arrest me for two sips... She didnt want it anymore, but the Securtiy was not having it. With a full jack and coke I insisted on tossing it away and just having the rest of the night with her with no drink. We ended up getting kicked out anyway. Seriously needs to loosen up...
Bonham charges and auto of $50 to ur bank account if ur here using a cc. Ive been here b4 and done the same ish w/o a $50 ish on my account.
Very nice atmosphere, but drink service is very slow
Cheap really strong drinks great crowd and awesome music
Let’s goooooooooooooooooooooooo😜👅👅👅
Nice place to dance. Cant have a First Friday without it!
Crowded diverse and fun
Very fun atmosphere, drinks are also pretty cheap.
So I went here the other night I had a freakin blast!!! I made new friends and the bartender Jake was amazing !!! Definetly going again :)
The bartenders here add fake charges to your ticket so be careful dont leave tips on your card and keep your receipt. We had a 19 ticket and the bartender added a zero to our tip after being rude and lying to a member of our party. Now we have a big bill and we never even had an open tab.He had longish hair and a mustache he needs to be fired for being fraudulent he was working the front left room on Friday August 7th so if u remember him keep in mind he is a theif . We usually enjoy going there but never again. Be careful out there.
Had my 21birthday at the bonham exchange had last of fun
This is one of my very favorite places to dance in downtown San Antonio! They always play great music
Weird building.. lots of room to dance
Female bartender got upset because I didnt tip her enough. Tips are based off customer service from my experience. If she dont like her job then she needs to find other employment.
My receipt was 16 dollars and I checked my account this morning and its showing 50 dollars... never coming back to this place again.
Always have a great time here 😗
We always have a blast, Roberto is an awesome bartender,
This place is so much fun! Although its very crowded.
Cmon, its the best club in San Antonio.

2022-04-01Awesome place to go dance, drink and hang out with friends. First time seeing a drag show upstairs and it was fabulous!! Good to see that the dance floor is open again.

2022-05-25A super fun and safe environment! As a woman I had the most fun here and felt the most safe. I appreciate that there is security that checks everyones bags and pockets. I also appreciate that there are security guards/officers within the club. It makes a night out more for fun and carefree for women.

2022-07-10It was my first time at this club, loved it so much… until a security gard pulled my friend and I aside and told us “give us ur id & come w me” all bc our M’s on our hands we’re wiping off, keep in mind we were there literally 3hrs dancing, sweating, and washing our hands constantly… ofc our M’s are going to start to come off slowly! So disappointed with the staff, so rude to my friend & I for no reason!

2022-04-11A historical mansion turned into an absolute hangout. They certainly know how to get down and wild at Bonham. They had a club scene downstairs and with multiple hang out rooms. Upstairs they were having an all out drag contest party

2022-03-08Very fun atmosphere! If you like to dance go here. There’s a lot of options with a variety of music which is great. The cons are that there’s a cover charge and the food that is provided by the vendors in the patio is expensive.

2022-04-05An all inclusive club, meaning everyone from all walks of life are welcome! The female bartenders are always great and know how to make awesome drinks. Fair prices for the mixed drinks. Three floors, each playing something a little different so you get choices as to where you want to be. Great atmosphere, just be careful, I’ve been plenty of times but on of those times there was a few weirdos I noticed following me and my friends all night, and my drink was spiked. Thankfully my friends were around and I got home safely.Although I had ONE bad experience, (not the clubs fault) I would still give this place 6 stars if possible :)

2022-02-06Went for the first time last night. It was very fun. I’m definitely going back. Good music good people. The drinks are a little pricey. Paid $24 for two drinks but other than that it’s a great place to have fun
