Evil Olive Elixir Lounge - San Antonio

Had to try after the glowing review in the paper. Evil Olive did not disappoint! Chicken fried steak sandwich is unique and excellent-try the sweet potato fries. Terrific service, bartender and atmosphere.

We found a hidden gem in visiting @evilolive_sa yesterday. Had great service, great food and drinks and great value! When I was searching on Yelp for restaurants with fish and chips, Evil Olive was among the ones with mention of fish and chips. We thought to try it. Dad and I shared a plate and my husband had his own plate. For $11.75, you get 4 pieces of fish! Since we ordered the entrée, adding a side salad was an extra $1! Drinks were all $1 off. Our margarita and well vodka drink were so reasonable. The only slight miss was the fried mushrooms. A bit too much batter there but the gravy was good. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. Kelly and Lisa were great servers. We'll surely be back. My husband wants to try their gator sandwich.

What we found disappointing, has happened when we have gone there for karaoke on a Tuesday nights. Here's a description of the most recent Tuesday night. The KJ that was there told us that he wasn't accepting anymore singers and that the next singer was the last singer for the night. Then he got up and sang a song and then he invited the bartender to sing a second song with him! It was 45min before they called last call. Now I've been at karaoke entertainer for over 25 years and I don't allow myself to sing the last song whenever there's paying customers that walked in to sing karaoke and have a drink before last call. And I certainly don't allow employees to sing over paying customers that come there for karaoke and a drink... Unless that employee happens to be the owner of the venue that hired me. So it was very disappointing! Although we love the employees there and love the food there! Wish karaoke were ran more respectfully.

The wife and I came here for the first time herr and we let the lady know, she didn't take time to give us the whole intro to this place, brought us 1 round of drinks and appetizers and didn't come back we wanted to try the food out but she never came back she stayed the behind the bar, the appetizers were ok and the drinks were not so great. The menu on Google is not the same from what she showed us, really dissatisfied

Evil Olive is a great place to hangout! There's a great selection of beer and the bartenders make so many tasty drinks. Depending on what night you go, there could be live band karaoke, regular karaoke, or live music for your entertainment. The food is delicious! So many choices on what to eat. Also, check to see if they are doing their Sunday Brunch. Very friendly staff to take care of you! See you out there!
