Grinners Daiquiri Bar

I went here with my friend. We ordered a total of 6 daiquiris between us. I had three small daiquiris; and she had two small and one large. Our total bill was 25.50. I personally was surprised how inexpensive our bill was. I read a complaint about the price, but coming from Virginia I was pleasantly surprised how inexpensive the bill was. The service was fantastic and they let us try some flavors before ordering. The bar was small and had a few tables and three large couches. The night we went (Saturday evening) was not very busy and the crowd seemed to be a bit older than a college scene, late twenties or early thirties. The bar was clean and modern looking. I will definitely go back on a date night or with some friends. Overall, I think the prices were good, I liked the concept, the bar was nice and service was fast and friendly.

Loved this place!!! Random stop thru town with a few hours and no idea where to go… soo glad we stumbled upon this place!!! Bartender was amazing! Soo bummed I didn’t catch his name! Check it out! Try the jack & coke mixed with vanilla!!!

Awesome! When you walk in it looks a bit up scale. But its causal. I put the bartender to the test. I requested Candy apple, and milky way martinis. She did pretty well. The waitress and day manager were very attentive. If you want to get out without all the drama. This is the place. Casual, no plain t-​shirt. They played the latest videos and even some oldies. From the latest Beyonce to The Beasty Boys. Have fun.

Traveled to San Angelo a few weeks ago for a BBQ competition. Arrived in town late Friday night and headed downtown looking for a drink after the long drive from the Dallas Metroplex. Grinners was the first place we noticed, walked and and was pleasantly surprised to find an upscale, contemporary lounge in a small town. Service was great, energetic atmosphere and drinks were spot on. Tried the frozen Jack n Coke, really good (on the rocks my fav). Went to the Texas Independence BBQ competition on Saturday, good times. Headed back to Grinners that night. Same great experience and the place was packed.

Decided to visit this place on New Years eve. Big mistake. It cost $ 15 for me and my wife to get in the door. This was not no surprise as most bars were changing a cover to get inside. The difference is that usually the money goes to get you something. Usually a band, champagne at the countdown and party favors. The DJ they hired seemed to have trouble with his equipment half the night. The videos they were playing were the best of the worst. I saw videos from milli vanilli, color me badd, and bel biv devoe. Really? I was really shocked the owner didn’t spring for plastic cups and champagne for the countdown. Perhaps they should change the name of this bar to Greedy’s Daiquiri Bar? $ 15 to get in for the opportunity to pay $ 7 for frozen jack n coke. I didn’t taste any jack though. I guess I was the one getting jacked. Next year I will be spending my money elsewhere.

This is a great little bar to go to after work. My girlfriend and i have been here once and the service we got from the bartender was the best. This is a great place to go to to unwind and knock a few back before a great night on the town.

While the bar itself is nice, and the specialty drink I had (cucumber martini) was good once I removed all the salt from the glass, the namesake of the business falls flat. $ 4 for a tiny daiquiri that, while it wasn’t terrible, I couldn’t taste the alcohol in it. It honestly tasted like something I would’ve gotten as a Slurpee at 7 – 11.
When I went to visit my friends in Biloxi, MS back in Apr, we took a drive over to Slidell, LA to a daiquiri place. For $ 6 I got a huge banana banshee that not only tasted fantastic, but I could definitely taste the rum in it. One of these, and I was good to go for a few hours.
So I could let this go… except for the fact the «bouncer» comes over to my friend, who has her Coach sunglasses on her head, and tells her since the sun has gone down they’re «enforcing the dress code.» So while these little douche bags are running around with baseball caps on their head (not to mention the girls that have no clue how to dress themselves… yes honey, your rolls are showing), she has to stow her Coach sunglasses in her purse. Really dude? I’m convinced Texas security/​cops love screwing with women. My boyfriend hasn’t received a ticket yet here. Me? If I’m going more than 5 mph, instant ticket. I don’t even get asked where I’m in a hurry to, nothing. Texas cops must have gotten rejected a lot when they were younger, or think we’re easy prey. Too many goats in West Texas? Awww…
If the daiquiri had been better, I would’ve been willing to overlook this slight. However, since the «bouncer» was such a db to my friend, no can do. While I’m glad something else has opened downtown… yeah, learn to treat your customers better!

A decent bar for a small town. Wish there was a dance floor.
