    Dive bar Indie disco Craft beer Pool table Cubist art
    Cowabunga Bar, located at 402 E. Travis St. in San Antonio, is a classic dive bar that transforms into an indie disco dance party most weekends. During the week, patrons can enjoy a selection of bottled beers like Stella Artois, Fat Tire, and Newcastle, as well as drafts such as Blue Moon, Dos Equis, Bud Light, and Budweiser. The space features a U-shaped bar, an elevated DJ booth, and three flatscreen TVs for sports viewing. Entertainment includes a pool table and electronic dartboard, each costing $1 per game. The walls are adorned with three-dimensional, cubist art, adding to the unique ambiance. The crowd is eclectic, ranging from area hipsters to River Walk regulars to longtime locals. Notably, the bar has been recognized as a "neon lighthouse" in the city's ever-changing landscape, serving as a meeting place for a diverse crowd of outlaws, rebels, and misfits.
