Forget the standard, low-energy sing-alongs. At Howdy, Sore Loser, we’ve combined the high-octane energy of a sports bar with the soul of a Texas saloon to create the ultimate stage for your vocal debut. Located at 302 E. Commerce St., just steps from the River Walk, we are officially reclaiming the downtown nightlife scene—one song at a time.

While our upstairs Saloon and its famous "disco horse" capture the spirit of San Antonio, our downstairs level is where the real magic happens. If you’re looking for the best karaoke experience in the city, it all starts with the man behind the booth: DJ Ed.

DJ Ed Delivers a Professional Concert Experience Every Week

We don’t just "press play" on a machine. DJ Ed brings a level of expertise and energy that you won’t find at a standard dive bar. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a first-timer finding your courage, DJ Ed ensures the sound is dialed in and the crowd is hyped.

By focusing on a DJ-led experience, we ensure that the party never stops between songs. It’s a seamless transition from a high-energy dance floor to your moment in the spotlight.

The Ultimate San Antonio Karaoke Schedule

We believe the weekend starts whenever you say it does. That’s why we’ve built a residency for DJ Ed that covers the biggest nights in downtown:

• Sundays & Mondays (Downstairs): The perfect "Industry Night" for locals and hospitality workers to take the mic and unwind.

• Thursdays (The Main Event): Thursday is our flagship night. DJ Ed takes over both bars from 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM. * The Live Band Bonus: For those who want the true rockstar experience, catch our Live Band Karaoke on Thursdays from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM concurrently with DJ Ed.

Fuel Your Performance with $1.99 Busch Lights

A great performance requires the right fuel. We’ve kept it classic and affordable with $1.99 Busch Lights all night long. If you’re hungry, our kitchen serves up the best "pre-show" meal in the city: the Loser Smash Burger. It’s the kind of high-quality, no-nonsense food that San Antonio locals crave.

From the Basement Stage to the Secret Portal

Howdy, Sore Loser offers two distinct ways to sing your heart out. You can join DJ Ed downstairs for the full crowd experience, or you can head upstairs to our "Saloon" level. For those who prefer a more intimate setting, look for the "Secret Portal"—our private karaoke room available for hourly rental, perfect for birthdays or bachelorette parties who want their own private stage.
