Good Time Charlie's Bar & Cafe, Texas diner in Alamo Heights, San Antonio, United States
Good Time Charlie's Bar & Cafe is a corner restaurant located where Broadway and Mulberry intersect, housed in a building with multiple functional spaces. The kitchen prepares American fare, Mexican dishes, and homemade desserts daily from scratch.
The building started as a fish and chips restaurant in 1969 before being converted into a pool hall. It reopened in December 1979 under its current name as a bar and restaurant.
The restaurant was founded by two former high school friends who actively support local organizations in the community. It functions as a neighborhood gathering place that reflects the owners' commitment to the surrounding area.
The establishment features outdoor seating areas and operates on a cash-only basis for all transactions. It is practical to bring cash and take advantage of the outside seating when weather permits.
The name comes from the song 'Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues,' reflecting the founders' vision of creating a space combining food and entertainment. This choice of name captures the relaxed and social spirit the venue has maintained since opening.
