    indoor bar
    Ethan Z.

    My friends and I came here on Sunday night during president's day weekend. The business covers a small space with both Indoor/outdoor area/lounge area. There is a food truck serving noodles and other Asian bites. The indoor bar is fully stocked with liquor, beer, and non alcoholic beverages. The inside is styled with pink interior/led lights perfect for an intimate experience. While we were there, it must have been karaoke night as many people were using the microphone to sing familiar tunes ranging from norteños, to pop and even rap. Some singers were good and others not so much lol. Normally my friend DJ's here with a wide range of music selection. The drinks were very reasonably priced and the bartender was extremely efficient and sweet. She was the only bartender but got people their orders very fast. I really liked this westside gem, it's on a semi-main road with a good amount of close-by street parking around street lights. The late night atmosphere/crowd was not chaotic here at all, I was visiting my hometown (San Antonio) from LA but would love to come back here to run it back on my next visit with my friends again.

    You'll like the way they work it (no diggity), no doubt. This place isn't fancy. It's necessary. Chifladas is the life of the west side, a literal diamond in the rough. On a corner on W Martin you'll have a chance to listen to some amazing jams (how do you want it? how do you feel?), hang out under bistro string lights, use a vintage photo booth, drink your drink, and feel right at home. Sitting at a table out back feels like we're just hanging out at a friend's house in the backyard. You have to stop in to appreciate the genuine warmth of this homegrown local spot. Highly recommend.

    It's a super cozy friendly neighborhood bar. They have cute and festive drinks and mixed shots. We had an upside down fine apple shot and it was a dream. I like that they have a period pantry available to the community. So much it made me look into volunteering for those how made it happen.

    Fun bar on the west side!

    Tucked away on the Westside of downtown, this place is a true hidden gem, nestled in a well-established neighborhood.

    Live in Tulsa and have one of the best cocktail bars in the country out there (believe it or not),…read moreso I'm particular about cocktail spots nowadays. That said, this place is great. Had the Wild Duck which was the experience the bartender who came up with the drink said it would be. Can tell they were true mixologist that are serious about their craft. Was kind of busy and loud but it was Friday night so what else would you expect. Definitely coming back.

    Take me to the underground to a hidden place next to the river walk!…read more It's a speakeasy so you shouldn't notice it right away but if your looking for it go to the back parking lot of where the address takes you close to the river walk look at the building that's right next to the parking lot a bit away from the road then look below and you'll see some tables and a door go down the stairs to get inside! They had a bunch of different cocktails inside lots of unique options and some not so much but where it was all about was the specials one in particular the Dunkle Sandwich as it tasted like Peanut butter and jelly like it was soo good up there with one of the best shots I've ever had soo flavorful and just good like this was by far my favorite thing I drank this night! Our other drinks were yummy too don't get me wrong as each of them has key components that made them taste amazing while I did forget the names just know that each one of them was yummy! On this particular night they had a mentalist wondering around doing magic he was fun and added to our evening here so that was a nice touch! Our bartender was awesome and quick to get us our drinks and I must say everything was mixed very well! Overall awesome spot for date night we both enjoyed our time here and hopefully we get to make it here again at some point because you can't go wrong with a chill speakeasy!

    OMG I cannot say enough good things about this place! We were in San Antonio for a conference and…read morewanted to get out of the hotel for a dinner. Firstly, we had trouble getting an uber at first and when I called the staff was very friendly and were able to hold the table a little longer which I appreciated. The menu is a mix of Asian Fusion small plates and I would have loved to have had more of a sampling of the menu but it wasn't that large of a party. The cocktails were not too sweet and perfectly balanced. The Fist of Fury was so refreshing and the Yuzu margarita was delightful! The plates come when they are ready and I have to say the food came really quick! All of it was fantastic! Surprisingly the shredded vegetable salad was amazing and one of my favorite dishes! The tamarind glaze on the Chicken Karaage was not overpowering and so tasty. The service was amazing and the vibes of the restaurant were a lot of fun. The bathrooms were down the stairs and there was a little bar off to the side. Would definitely go back! I couldn't stop talking about it the next day to anyone that would listen.

    Great food, although the salmon was not as fresh as I'd hoped... Appetizers were excellent... Fast…read moredelivery... However, the hostess was so focused on keeping nine empty tables for reservations yet we finished our dinner by the time those guests arrived and she put us next to the AC vent where it was extra hot with the outdoors of 90°F... That is, don't go if you don't have reservations.

The food was not the best especially for the price. The drinks on other hand were amazing. My server Marah toke great care of me. Attentive, funny, and well knowledgeable. She helped me pick an outstanding bourbon due to having so many I couldn't decide. She's impeccable at her job didn't have to write anything down had multiple tables and was very efficient. Would come back for the drinks and her service. The food on other hand definitely could use some help.

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)
