    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.

    Daniel is AMAZING! thanks for the help and making me laugh!!! Love the atmosphere/vibe.read more

    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.)
