“ Had an amazing time. Love that there is a jukebox! Service was great. I forgot my jacket that has a lot of sentimental value, I called 2 days later and it was still there. Thank you for holding it to me y'all made my day! ”

“ In the ever changing world of South Town, in a place where people charge 80 dollars for a 14 dollar H.E.B bottle of wine. Or where oysters cost as much as a gallon of gas each, there is a little place called Bruno's Dive bar. A safe haven for our wallets and place to just live a simple existence where people treat you like people and the drinks flow. It's the next best thing to drinking at home, so thank you Bruno's dive bar ”
“ Bruno’s is my favorite spot to relax and have drinks with my dog. Larry makes sure my Olive has water and knows my drinks. Couldn’t ask for a better bartender/spot to hang. Even gives her a bar towel when she gets cold! ”
“ Fun bar. Great prices and service too! They don't have food, but don't worry. "My everthing cuisine" will be there Friday and Saturday evenings!They have delicious ceviche and nachos among other things. It is really good! Come see and taste. You won't be disappointed! ”
“ Really cool and chill space here. You could tell the historic aspect to the small bar with all of the relics around on the walls. They had a complimentary spread of food for the Super Bowl which these days is unheard of. Donny treated us out of towners with kindness...place even had Malort for cryin out loud. Big fan and we will be back when in town next. Thanks Bruno's! EDIT: Back again and loved it. Please don't ever take down this sign. Such a cherished landmark ”
“ Super laid back, friendly bar staff. Fun games to play (basketball, beer pong and a photo booth). Outdoor or indoor tables, and bar seating. There is only one restroom for everyone, so sometimes there is a line, but nothing crazy. They even have a working pay phone that dials out for free. Had a great time with some friends, definitely recommend this place for a drink! ”
“ Great chill place! Great music! Service and price for drinks are very reasonable. Highly recommend. ”
