CVS/pharmacy

It’s a CVS… had what I needed and was near enough my hotel. Staff seemed pleasant enough for a CVS. Prices were reasonable but coming from Boston it’s hard to judge.

My girls & I are soooooooooooooo ecstatic there’s a drug store so close to our hotel (Hyatt). Crazy story (funny… Not funny) my girlfriend had self-​diagnosed herself with pink eye. She panicked for urgent care & ended up finding irritation, goopy eye relief,

Forget what everyone else says about where to get the cheapest beer on the Riverwalk. This place is it. Not very many people know that you can legally buy a beer here, and walk around with it on the river. You can! You can get beers to go here– either singles, six-​packs or twelve-​packs. They’re nice enough to put it in a brown paper bag for you too.
My favorite thing about this place is the fact that the AC is cranked ²⁴⁄₇. It’s always a nice place to get out of the sun for a while.
They also have all kinds of touristy things to buy– magnets, postcards, shot glasses, etc. Just don’t buy the snow globes, since you’ll just be forfeiting them to TSA.
The prices on things here leave a lot to be desired, but you’re paying for the convenience.
If you don’t jive with CVS, there’s a Walgreens over on Houston St. a few blocks away.

The manager sucks. No compassion. I had to go to the restroom in an emergency and was refused 15 times. I understand corporate policies but then there are special situations that call for managerial leadership. The guy on 7÷17÷15 at 6:15pm is the one. Where is the humanity? Especially a store that focuses on health care. I will never shop at any CVS again if they support that kind of customer treatment. Shame on that guy and maybe he might understand when he’s on the other side of the situation. He was the WORST. SHAME ON HIM.

We had spotted the lovely old neon Walgreens sign right away at 300 E Houston and the corner of Navarro, but the CVS was closer to the Drury when my other half had an old ski injury start to bother her knee. So we go to this CVS where they would NOT let her try on the knee brace that we BOUGHT there in their bathrooms or any more private room, that they obviously have. So we hobble home, the brace is too big and we return it and limp back to that cool old Walgreens sign at 300 E Houston.
Abien and all the staff at the Walgreens are great. They not only let my partner try on the brace in the bathroom, they let her try on THREE braces before buying one.
First rate. Patronize that lovely Walgreens at 300 E Houston/​Navarro corner for the kind of service you don’t expect anymore, but it sure is nice to find.
Thanks Abien! This CVS blows, they couldn’t care less about you hobbling around.

Friendly staff. I was in a rush so they helped me find stuff fast and check out fast.

So, I hadn’t packed for a business trip in 17 years. Yeah, I don’t get out much.
But I was blessed to find this cool little CVS less than a block from the convention hotel. It’s tucked into a really tight space, and aisles are very close together. It seems there should be a reduced selection as you might expect with limited floor space, but there’s ample selection. I was even able to find the right color Listerine to compliment my fancy new night guard (colored Listerine need not apply).
There is no pharmacy that I could see, unless it’s up at street level on Losoya, but you can get all the essentials your suitcase forgot to remind you to bring without having to get in the car and drive somewhere. That, in and of itself, is a total win for the weary traveler.

Pit stop for beer, cheaper then buying it at the over priced restaurants on the River Walk. I always stop here for beer and save so much buying it here (CVS), it about 50% cheaper than what the restaurants are charging.
Beer ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

Convenient with pretty much everything you need in a drug store on the beautiful River Walk!

It’s strange to see a CVS along the riverwalk, but it makes sense. You got a bunch of tourists staying in hotels and they don’t want to pay ridiculously marked up hotel prices so they go out here to pick up last minute items. For us my gf needed some toiletry items along with water. This CVS is huge and stays packed. They have multiple registers so the flow is quick.

Aside from river-​walk mark up prices, its a small CVS with no restroom, the selection is slim and the price is far from right… but if you got tourists with no cars, or paying for overnight parking, they’ll pay whatever is asked I suppose?
Anyways, my review was for the manager, who saw us buying a full-​size of something and suggested we save a few bucks and opt for a travel bottle. Service is everything, especially along the riverwalk!

Terrible experience printing enlarged photos here. The machine wouldn’t read my USB drive. So, I pulled up some photos using the link to Facebook on the machine. It took an eternity. Like, maybe 20 minutes for the machine to load the photos, 2 – 3 minutes to process each photo. Then, it printed 80% of them wrong, either by putting a weird border around the outside or by including red lines of smeared ink across the middle of the photo. I asked the cashier if I could just pay for the ²⁄₁₀ photos that came out correctly. She said sure. I went to take the unusable photos anyway, thinking I would cut them up and make a collage or something. She said that she had to shred them. I was confused – they were clearly printed wrong and not worth purchasing, but why did they have to be thrown away? But she insisted. It was so wasteful. She was rude. It was a waste of 45 minutes. The store also smelled foul. It is likely a restroom for inebriated tourists or homeless people.

I should have read reviews. The map takes you too the street address not the river walk entrance. I trekked over from the hotel to get a prescription filled but there’s no pharmacy here! I asked the person working if they knew that they were listed as CVS with pharmacy on google and she said yes… Friendly, tiny, not what I needed!

If only I had read the Unilocal reviews before trekking down to this CVS. There’s hardly anything at this store – it’s a lot more kitsch than a drugstore. They had an endless variety of souvenir mugs, but when I went to find diabetic supplies, they told me that they had none. Really? A drugstore that doesn’t carry diabetic supplies? I’ve never heard of that. It’s pretty useless as an actual DRUGstore, but if you’re looking for something like a snack or a souvenir, I guess this is the place to go.
If you DO go here, bear in mind that although the address is on Losoya Street, you’ll actually need to go down to the Riverwalk to enter the store.

Good location if you happen to be on the Riverwalk and need a beverage, OTC drug or a quick souvenir. Like most places on the Riverwalk you will pay for the convenience. I suspect being on the Riverwalk affects hours, so if you are hoping to pick up something you forgot to pack like we did (hairbrush) first thing in the morning, you can’t, as this location does not open until 9AM.
FYI, the Walgreen’s just a few blocks away (
) on Houston St. opens at 7AM.

We were on a mission to get my friend drunk for her birthday. Since it was a Monday night, the bars were completely dead, so we opted to buy bottles and drink in our hotel room instead. Midnight was quickly approaching and CVS was the only place on the River Walk that we expected to carry alcohol. And that they did. There were refrigerators full of wine, champagne, wine coolers, and beer. There was also another entire aisle dedicated to wine. Umm, where’s the hard liquor? I finally asked an employee who directed me to this liquor store that was a 5 minute walk away and on the bottom floor of an underground parking lot. Okay, that’s do-​able. Wait, liquor stores close at 9 in Texas?! Feeling defeated, we settled for some wine and Smirnoff ice; needless to say, I was disappointed. They do have a nice selection of ice cream though. The least we could do was get the birthday girl some ice cream to make up for the lack of hard liquor.
Aside from the lack of alcohol, this CVS is like any other drugstore. Great place for travelers to pick up any essential items they may have forgotten at home.

This is located on the touristy Riverwalk area and seems to have touristy increased prices, but I can’t verify that.
That don’t offer a pharmacy, but rather more of a convenience store. I do believe there are more beer and wine aisles than medication aisles, but they do have the basics. You can also find some cute souvenir knick knacks to take home to the kids.

Unilocal keeps reminding me to review this store, so here goes.
We found this CVS perfectly situated on the Riverwalk and we usually found ourselves in here mid-​day to pick up bottled water for our never ending walks around town or for our hotel room at the end of the day. Even though it’s much smaller than other CVS’ that we’ve been to, it seemed to have all the items that you’d usually find, minus the gardening supplies, lawn chairs type of items.
The cashier we had the first day was very sweet but all others throughout the weekend were cranky. I later realized that the reason why they were cranky is because of the obnoxious drunks that come into this store. I guess I would be irritated too.
A great place to come to pick up basics. Prices are a little high but you’re paying for the convenience.

Forget your prescriptions, unless they include beer and wine. This is the place for the convenience store grab and go when your done paying for those $ 10 margaritas all along the riverwalk. Don’t get all excited yet; they know where they are and what you want.
We grabbed a couple of 24oz Lone Star Lights and a bottle of Sterling Chardonnay for $ 29! The same LSLight in Dripping Springs is $ 1.39. Try $ 2.79 over here; and don’t forget your cork screw like we did adding another couple of bucks.
This place was packed. The line started at the back of the store but they were efficient with three registers going in the front. Near every customer was slurring, yelling, and ready to buy another case of bud light. Pepto shots were also being consumed by the dozens.
You could NOT pay me any dollar figure to work here; and I’m sure $ 9 an hour is not far off the going rate. Yet, I give them props for keeping the beer cold and the line moving.

This is a great location to get cheap bottled water, cheap Crystal Light packets and cash back, but other than that, I thought their socks, sunscreen, a couple travel size items and souvineers were a little overpriced.
I was hoping to find cheap keychains or postcards like 4 for $ 1, but to my dismay San Antonio pens, shots glasses and key chains started at $ 2.99 a piece. You’d be better off getting the 75 cent pencils at The Alamo gift shop instead (plus the money you spend at The Alamo Gift Shop goes directly to the maintenance, operations, upkeep and restoration of The Alamo.)
