About:When you think of San Antonio, you don't necessarily think of an Irish pub, now do you? Well, think again. Durty Nelly's, located on the River Walk on the river level of the Hilton hotel, is a rollicking good time. Pull up a chair, order a beer (or two, or ten) and sing along with the pianist. A versatile guy, the pianist takes requests and can play just about anything. Probably the most fun thing to do is munch on the peanuts and toss the shells on the floor. Yes, it is allowed!

    We love the idea of a piano pub. Just be careful of when you visit. We have visited several times a year for the past 10 years. In the early years the piano players didn't change much and they played traditional Irish pub songs with a few contemporary ones. It seems over the past three years they keep changing piano players (makes you wonder why?).

    Some of the piano players are more talented and more versatile AND more risque than the other ones. We have NO problem when songs or jokes have sexual innuendos but when they are blunt and disgusting and then you throw in some cursing the piano player has crossed the line.

    Calling beforehand to see whose playing. AVOID GOING when Keith is playing.

    And the Guinness flows freely here so try it - it won't be stagnant like other places.

    Edited part of the review

    I just looked at the pictures on this website. Under the picture with the piano player it says his name is "Wayne". We though it was "Keith". AVOID GOING this one plays whether his name is WAYNE or KEITH. The guy who plays later in the night, Joe (I think), is SOOO much better.

    Great place to go for fun. Nelly's has the piano bar with amusing piano players. Fun really starts about 8 p.m.
