Mad Dogs British Pub (River Walk)

A great choice along the Riverwalk! The elevated seating area gives you a perfect view of the river and makes for some top-tier people-watching (yes, it’s definitely fun). It was nice and quiet when we visited, which made for a super relaxing experience. The menu is simple but offers something for everyone. The portions are generous—especially the appetizers. I ordered tacos from the appetizer section, and they were easily a full meal on their own. 🤤 Definitely a spot I’d visit again!

Food was average. Fish and chips were the best thing we ordered, also had spinach artichoke dip and a chicken sandwich. Service was fair because she forgot our drinks, didn’t get the order right, and never came to check on us. Waitress seemed newish so she still got a good tip. The view was what we were there for.

If you are walking the Riverwalk and need a break from the heat (and the Tex-Mex), Mad Dogs is the place to be. My partner Stacey and I grabbed a table on the terrace, and honestly, you can’t beat the location for people-watching and soaking in the energy of the Riverwalk. The atmosphere is fantastic—lively, fun, and just the right amount of loud. The staff really leans into the theme (kilts and all!), and they were cracking jokes and keeping the service fast despite how busy it was. As for the food, the Fish & Chips were the real deal—crispy batter, flaky fish, and piping hot. I washed it down with a cold draft beer, which tasted amazing after walking the river all afternoon. For the Photographers: The terrace here offers one of the best vantage points for getting those classic Riverwa

What a horrible experience. I don't often write 1 star reviews, but I'll make an exception for an experience where I have absolutely no desire to come back. A romantic Riverwalk experience is the wrong expectations for Mad Dogs. That should've been obvious by the uniforms the staff wear. They're really going for bar maiden rather than any sort of decency. We sat outside in hopes to enjoy the Riverwalk atmosphere, but Mad Dogs seemed to actively work to destroy this. Right next door is a lovely jazz band playing where the patio can here it, but inside and just outside at Mad Dogs, they blast horrible music and have huge sports games. The music was a stark contrast with what was going on next door and hearing them both was quite unpleasant. Then at 9pm their musicians started blasting thei

Had a great Reuben at Mad Dogs. Well cooked, good bread, nice corned beef, good thousand island. If I nit pick...maybe need a little stronger sauerkraut. The location is great and nice to sit outside on the Riverwalk. Found it weird they were out of their "signature dish" fish and chips for lunch so that was disappointing. Overall a great place to stop in San Antonio on the Riverwalk.
