The Rollercade

The music is the only draw back. sometimes it is good other times it is awful. There is a tall blond lady who works there that plays good funky dance music when she DJs. They should use her more as a DJ, especially so on adult nights.

This was our first time here and my family and I had a great time. Staff was great and the prices were very reasonable. They do have a snack bar which was awesome! Definitely going back

Pretty cool place! Charge for a ICEE is $ 4 though!

This place is so much fun but they have a dress code? Its really stupid. Basically you cant wear crop tops. I was wearing high waisted shorts with a slight crop top showing less than a inch of my stomach and they said I couldn’t skate. Dumb as hell.

The best roller rink ever!!! Adult skate is every Wednesday and the first Sunday of the month. The floor is amazing, the atmosphere is vintage and homely.

I have been here about three times and it has been okay. I can’t say that anything has really stood out for me and I really have nothing else to compare it to since I have not been to any other rollerskating place here in San Antonio. This place reminds me of the roller king we had back home. The place is old and pretty dirty the food is not all that great but the kids seem to like it. Maybe once I try a few other places I can give a better rating on this place.

I totally ate it there. the staff was really helpful and caring.

Very disappointed, Dont do a birthday party here! they make you pay a $ 75 dollar NON-​REFUNDABLE deposit! Just to not do what they say they are going to do, not call back messages you leave, and then when they do answer treat you very rudely because who cares they got your money already! Customer service is at an all time low! Very upset but can’t leave because I already paid money! Then when you show up for the party it’s so crowded you can’t even skate, kids going in all different directions! And pay for this pay for that, they have like 10 parties going on at one time so that’s like over 100 people skating on a super small rink! then they turn the a/​c off when they want you to leave to burn you out! Worse ever! Rooms so small you can’t move, not a fan! Money makes this place mad! They charge for every little thing

Okay, bear with me here. This place is great. I read plenty of reviews before choosing a place to take my 10 year old brother to put his new learned skills to the test (inlines for Christmas). I ultimately chose this place because they rent out inline skates, and I heard good things.
I’m an out of towner, and my hometown rink is where I expect Bow Wow to film a sequel to Roll Bounce. This rink was nice in that it was not intimidating. Of course there were the experienced dancers that you always love watching go in circles, but the place was not filled with arrogant and pushy experts.
We went on a Saturday night, and it still felt very family oriented, which was nice. There was a birthday for a little boy, and the floor DJ/​MC/​music player adjusted his music accordingly. He was very in tune with what everyone was feeling. Top notch! He balanced fast skate, backwards skate, and kid skate very well.
The rink seemed in nice condition. No problems there! The wall that a lot of beginner kids hold onto is made of cinder block, for those that care/​are curious. The bathrooms were nice and complete with a sink outside the bathrooms. The water here is generally gross (sorry, snob Virginian here), so no expectations on their dinky water fountain.
Great parking, okay building, skates in good condition, triangle skating helpers for little kids, kind staff, fair prices, diverse attendees… great place. Will try and return before returning to my hometown night club rink.
The only not so good: Way too bright for me. It was 9:00 pm and the lights were as bright as the sun. I’m used to a very dark rink, so this rink could probably benefit a little from at least dimming the lights. I felt on display all night. Also, Rollercade implies it’s a rink and an arcade. Sorry, but a pac-​man arcade game in the corner doesn’t make you an arcade.
Overall, great place! Take your kids, get back into skating, or just have a fun night out with some peers regardless of age!

As far as roller skating rinks go this one was pretty nice. The floors have been maintained well, and the music system sounded pretty good. The house are not correct on Unilocal and you will either need to call or visit their website. The whole family had a lot of fun and now I’m recovering.

Cleanest best rink I’ve been to in ages. Great skate floor, super nostalgia, spic and span clean including skates, nice friendly help. I went on Wednesday Adult night and had a blast! I even got a gift from Santa Claus!

It’s an old rink, but which ones aren’t? The bathrooms ARE gross. Felt like a campground. The place smelled in lots of areas. Staff is lackluster, but I can’t expect much. I want to go see rollerderby. :)
Hey, music OK, taking toddlers even on the «cheap day» (Tuesday) was good too. The games were dumb, no one really participated. They could cut that out and no one would notice.

The roller rink has what some may call ‘pot holes’. Many kept falling on the same side and I realized it was the uneven flooring, hence the pot holes. Music was too loud and they played way too many games that were not for little ones. Spent a lot of time waiting for the stupid games to end. Use the restroom before heading here. No doors and not the cleanest.

With a groupon, this is the place for cheap fun with a heavy dose of nostalgia. We have been several times, and each time we end up leaving with happy hearts. The rink is well taken care of and offers the typical skating experience, right down to the snack bar. They do games to break up the skating, which is nice. The kids enjoy it. Personally I would have thought all these roller rinks closed down, but the rollercade remains successful even on Tuesday nights when you would imagine it being desolate. Sure you have to out up with teeny bopper music. But you might catch yourself singing along with it. Couple skate anyone?!

Plan on waiting in line? Don’t bother. Whoever asked last is the one who gets helped first.
Beware of the kids with triangles. Those things are a serious hazard!

I can’t even tell you how much fun we had at Adult Skate Night! It was a blast! This place is super cool and the staff was very friendly and laid back. If I were them I would gear the music to a little bit older crowd on Adult Night but other than that I was sold on this place. The neon, disco ball and lights are a great for the ambiance. Everything seemed really clean and the wood skating rink floor just «makes» this place. I am very much looking forward to coming back!

Have brought the kids here twice. Once with a Groupon and once on «Bargain Tuesday» during spring break. Both times I also rented a skate-​mate ($ 5/​hour) for the first hour to give my kids, who are novice skaters more confidence. After these two trips, they learned to love skating and now have skates of their own.
The rink does get pretty crowded but the DJ does a good job of reminding people to keep moving. I’m not a fan of the games and glow skates, but I guess they break up what would otherwise be a pretty monotonous day.
It’s fun to people-​watch some of the experienced skaters, especially during the backwards skate.

Come for half off Tuesdays! $ 3 entrance fee, $ 3 to rent skates (a dollar or two more for special or nicer skates) even better if you have your own skates so you only pay $ 3. I love how this place is a blast from the past 70’s feel to it all the way. Neon lights, some oldies music that plays, and everything pretty much is the same as it was way back when. The bathrooms are clean with doors, but you have to wash your hands outside. they take song requests so you can skate to whatever you want. They play games like four corners, have races, sing happy birthday songs, backwards skating, etc. We had a great time and even on half off Tuesdays, it wasn’t that busy. I love the skate ‘helpers’ that help the little ones skate. They have lockers you can rent for one time for 50 cents to keep your purse, but you can keep your shoes under the ‘benches’. They have video games to play and a mini pool table. I think this place was built in the 70’s!
To many people, this place may look shady, but I think that is them trying to keep the oldies look. I like that they have kept the same look for SO many years.
They actually have drip coffee ($ 1), chocolate chip cookie ($ 1.50), a bag of microwaved popcorn, hot dogs, chips, fountain drinks, large pickles, and more.
The only thing I didn’t like was that they have a glow light part of the night where you need to have a glow light in order to skate. The cheapest glow light they sell is $ 2 so for three songs you have to have it or else you are kicked off the rink. You can buy glow products there, skates, and other toys. There are party rooms for birthdays.
I really like this place and if you want to get a couple hours of skating I would highly recommend this place. It’s where I learned how to skate.

I like to come here to get some exercise skating and it’s a good place for this. I like that they have an adult night on Wed. so I don’t have to dodge little kids the whole time. The only thing I don’t like is that the music is not really to my liking and some adult skaters do there own little boogy skate and dont consider the other skaters around.

The clientele leaves something to be desired. Do not go to this place unless you feel like being assaulted.
A friend and I had purchased a groupon and were excited to put on some skates. We had a great time for the first hour or so of our visit to the Rollercade. However, when an advanced skater bumped into us and knocked us over and continued skating, we were a bit put off. Writing this off as an accident, we continued skating. A second gentlemen rammed into us a second time, knocking my friend and me to the ground. It was clear that we were not wanted on the rink.
This place has potential. The 80s music and neon décor make you nostalgic for your childhood. I went to the Rollercade once before for a private party without incident. However, I will not be going back any time soon…
