This is a family go to place for us. The kids (8 and 10) bring quarters and play the games. The warm Brussels salad is the best thing on the menu, but if that isn't your thing, the pizzas are great too! The staff is always friendly and as prompt as possible with all the staffing shortages. The bartenders make solid drinks.

We went there to enjoy a live recording by KNBT hosted by Ray Wiley Hubbard with guest Mr Russell of Shinyribs. The pizza called the split was delicious. Our area waitress Molly was horrible and needs to shadow talented wait staff or find a career in another field. I had to go to the bar to receive immediate and professional service. I'll go there again but might leave if Molly is our waitress.

We had a group of 40 who were scheduled to come here after floating down the river. We arrived and started ordering drinks and waters. We then started to order food and one girl had not received her drink. She asked and the server said she was refusing to serve her: mind you the girl who ordered had done NOTHING to make this happen. She wasn't intoxicated and no one had done anything. After that the service went to crap. She never brought any other drink and never checked on us after our food was brought to the table. The service want good and it was disappointing because the food is actually

Perfect spot for every text in regardless of age. You'll see folks better happy and enjoying life in their '80s and kids playing on the arcade games. The pizza is definitely worth stopping in even if you're not a social person. Did I mention they have an arcade and a bowling alley! This is the place to be and if none of that caught your attention a patio that it's connected to has live music.
You'll never want to leave!

Excellent service every time I come. Hosts are super friendly. My server David is always on point. And Bartender Liz did not disappoint with our drinks at all. Prefect place to bring the kids to distract themselves during the afternoon and great place for dates at night time. The chef and his team never fail. The specials are to die for and the normal menu is great as well.

My husband & I each had a different kind of hamburger. I ordered medium, and it was a little over cooked, but flavorful. The large French fries were enough to share. It was nice with great ambiance. Fun games, bowling, shuffleboard, pool, and ping pong were available. It was a Thursday night, so it wasn't very crowded at all. I would recommend.

One thing I learned in our visit, do not go when they have trivia, unless you want to play! The sound system is SO loud, from the guy MC'ing to the intermission music, you can barely hear yourself think.
I have been to DS a few times, but mostly for drinks. They have a large bar! Other features include bowling lanes, arcade games, a sitting area (for casual drinks with friends I assume), a large stage (I'm assuming they host some concerts?) and a decent dining area.
The servers were all over the place, so I was sitting for a while before someone finally decided I was in their section

Horrible experience with the food. Had to order extra sauce to try to make it edible for our table, and they refused to do anything to make it better or even offer to make something else instead because each of us had tried a slice.
The server was super sweet, but the manager that she brought over was horrible. He basically told us they could do absolutely nothing for us, and walked away.
Wish it would have been better, but we would have tried it again in the future if the service had been nicer.

They need more social bars like this between Cibolo and New Braunfels. I'm not a fan of going downtown anymore or down St. Mary's street. It must be my old age talking! Haha Cool place time bring friends and meet new friends.
The Pour Haus is cool too, but the DT social is nice for heat and AC to hangout. Arcade games, bowling, and ping pong. Great drink specials and performances. So, check their calendars for events.

Place just awful with bar service !!
Here watching the game the place has about 15 people at the bar and I sat for 15 minutes before I could get my girlfriend a drink. Didn't even know who the bar tender was! 3 of them some girl would leave and come back about 15 minutes so in 45 minutes was able to get my girlfriend 2 drinks .
No structure whatsoever!
Leaving right now

Fun place. No Minors after 9:30pm. Service was great tonight. Wings here not that great because I like them crispy but the chicken strips and fries are just okay, nothing too fancy here. Bowling is $40/hr after 7pm on the weekends so make sure you have at least 4 of ya to split that up. There is a shoe rental fee as well.
Easy access from the street. Parking can be a challenge so be prepared to walk a block or two on weekend evenings.
