• American • Downtown
Booked 22 times today
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The Esquire Tavern is the oldest bar on the San Antonio Riverwalk, opened the year, month and day that Prohibition was repealed.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.

    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!

    Great place on the river to stop by for dinner, service was good and everything was moderately priced. The third floor rooftop bar overlooks the river, nice place to have a drink.

    My friend and I didn’t want to cook this year and we both didn’t have our kids this year so we wanted to go out for Thanksgiving dinner. Gallery on the Park did an excellent job! Everything was over the top from the customer service to the beautifully Christmas decorated hotel and restaurant. The was delicious too!! We both opted for the braised short rib. Thank you so much for a wonderful Thanksgiving experience!!

    This was one of the best Thanksgiving brunches I have ever been to! A large selection of high quality items with excellent service. I put in my reservation that I would be coming with a one year old in a stroller and the hostess set us up in a nice quiet area with room for the stroller - and room for my 3 year old to run around without disturbing others. They were very accommodating, making our meal more relaxing and stress free. Will be coming back next Thanksgiving!
