Located in the heart of downtown, The Esquire Tavern is the oldest bar on the San Antonio Riverwalk, opened the year, month and day that Prohibition was repealed. Tending bar in the early days was a highly prized and much sought after craft. Bar keeps then created many of their own syrups, mixes and concoctions and used the freshest of juices with the intention of serving the best products. We at the Esquire have taken a serious approach to the old world of bartending and spun it with a modern twist. Combining classic techniques and new world flavors and culinary concepts, our goal is to lead and set San Antonio's emerging cocktail culture on the map.

    The best steak we've ever had. They didn't need any sauce or glaze added. The bread service was yummy. The pretzel sticks were perfectly soft and the cranberry toast had a nice sweet crunch. The scalloped potatoes were a favorite of our meal. Didn't need to order the additional sour cream potato puree, which was good but the scalloped potatoes were better and each were definitely enough for two. Pricey meal but well worth it for the food. Service was wonderful. A little noisy but not bad.

    We had a great experience at this location. Definitely recommend getting a reservation ahead of time due to how many people were wanting a table.  the service and food were phenomenal and we will definitely be returning. We had the chicken Parmesan lobster, ravioli, and a side of mozzarella sticks. Very yummy!

    We were pleasantly surprised! Right in the Riverwalk, obviously a popular place, but everything works well! Food was delicious, our server was cute, gracious, and attentive. Even though we mixed up our reservation they found a table for two on a busy Saturday night. No complaints. We'll be back.

    I so love the menu choices at Bigas, especially how you can choose the smaller portion entrees which still have all the goodie sides and sauces. It's hard for me to pass up the lamb chops they are so good. This time the veal?/wine reduction sauce (my favorite part) kinda got all soaked up by the grits which were surprisingly a bit dry. I could drink that sauce! Of course we got the wild game packets for appetizer (always) and so good, fresh perfect leaves of radicchio and Bibb lettuce wrapped around delightfully seasoned ground game meat. And of course the bread basket a must, the 3 breads all are great, hard to pick a fav. My partner had the Prix fixe menu which unfortunately for him had subbed out his choice of beef tips with short rib roast which was not trimmed to his liking (fatty surround). The romaine Caesar salad choice was ok, the cheesecake desert so good (oh that caramel sauce!!!) and his wine pairings were also very good, especially the sauterne dessert wine that we had to go out and buy a bottle after! You cannot get better service anywhere than Bigas, and the corner two top table by the window with river view at Christmas, we just can't go anywhere else!

    From the moment we walked in, we were treated like rock stars. The service is wonderful and friendly from everyone; it’s like they are actually happy to see us there. If you are thinking about getting the tortilla soup, just go for it—AMAZING! The appetizer dish of cheese and jalapeños was excellent, but save room. The steak was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were delicious. Only wish I had room for dessert—next time!
