    Stopped in for a drink and snack. Seated right away, overlooking the river. Great happy hour prices! Food was great and we would have ordered more if we didn't have dinner reservations later. We ordered the Poke Dog and Spam Musubi. Is it the drive?...yes

    Gosh, such a fun place, maybe we even had too much fun... Drinks are very tasty and unique, you really can't go wrong. And there are even fun options if you don't like rum! The bartender is so nice and we also had conversations with others at the bar. This spot is so fun to hang out at for a couple hours, definitely add it to your list!

    After doing the River Walk cruise and it was a great way to wind down. I ordered the Missionary Downfall. The drink was smooth, tropical, and well balanced without being overly sweet. I love the crushed ice that they use. Easy to sip and refreshing, especially after being out on the water. The atmosphere fit the tiki theme perfectly and felt relaxed without being over the top. Service was friendly and the location right on the River Walk made it an easy stop. A fun place to grab a drink and take in the vibe after a cruise or a long walk along the river.

    For those who know me and see me barely writing this, YES, it is late! ;) We went to San Antonio with a large group of friends and we try to plan events and whatnot. We had just finished a ghost tour and someone mentioned that some of our friends were meeting at this place. I am 99% it was impromptu. The place was amazing and gave us this section. We filled up all the seats and the little love tunnel or whatever that end one was. I will say, being the social butterfly that I am, I was visiting with everyone and EVERYONE was enjoyng themselves. What is it about a tiki place that makes everyone so happy. You just cannnot be sad at a tiki place. I was happy that one of our firends found this plce and truly enjoyed myself. Great drinks and the staff was fantastic! Thank you for being so great!

    We were barhopping along the Riverwalk and came into this tiki oasis. Set up like a Tiki speakeasy. This location is small, but comes with a lot of theming and a cute tropical vibe. There is very limited seating, but we were fortunate enough to be able to grab a spot outside overlooking the river walk. I will say inside definitely has a smell to it. Perhaps the drains haven't been cleaned as much as they need - but a smell lingers in the air. I had the Saint Lucius fashioned and it was OK. My husband got the eight year Appleton's rum with some Coke and it basically tasted like water. So the quality of the drinks is questionable.

    What a fun place to grab a cocktail and an appetizer!! We were able to sit overlooking the river and were greeted immediately by Kiara who was so sweet & pleasant!! We ordered the coconut shrimp (delicious) and we each had the Painkiller. The drinks were delivered in tropical glasses and didn't disappoint!! We really enjoyed our time here!!

    Hugman's is probably one of my go to spots when I'm bar hopping downtown or have out of town friends to show around. Such a cute little tiki bar that immediately takes you to another place when you walk in. It's right on the riverwalk and has seating inside and outside available. They have the cutest tiki drinks and are all hand crafted and made to order. Most come in picture worthy tiki cups and I've even ordered one that came with fire! It's worth noting that the bathrooms are always clean and beautiful decorated. Definitely a regular in my rotation!

    We live in San Antonio and we wanted to go see the holiday lights on the river walk. As we were walking on the river walk we ran across Hugman's Oasis tiki bar so decided to check it out. The inside is not too big so our group sat in the outside area. Beautiful tiki bar inside and out. Super fun holiday drinks. We all got a different drink from the holiday menu and everyone enjoyed their drink.

    VERY AWESOME PLACE! Though small, the place offers a very nice vibe. We were in San Antonio during the coldest week this year and this place was a nice slice of oasis. I can just imagine the patio on a busy day, located at an intersection of the river. Lots of people watching and some great beverages! Come visit!

    This place is fun to just be at. The decor makes a really cool ambiance. The drinks are delicious. They also have food which ive ordered a couple things and they did not disappoint. The bartenders are nice and they make good recommendations for any drinks you might want to try.

    While on vacation this week we found this gem on Yelp. We love a good tiki bar and Hugmans was great. Our waitstaff and bartender was helpful. We got the chicken appetizer and it was large & delicious. We may go back before we go home.

    Such a fun spot on the river. Loved the tiki vibes and the Texas Sun was my favorite drink in San Antonio! Don't skip on the fries, they were the perfect snack.

You go way to the back and down a steep flight of stairs. My son, his wife, and I left my wife and grandbaby in the saloon and headed down. When you get down there, you are suddenly in a beautiful Tiki bar with so many amazing things to gawk at. It sort of felt like waking up in OZ. We were the first people there, so we got to sit at the bar and watch our drinks being made. They have about 15 or so different specialty tiki drinks. Each one comes in a particular piece of glassware. I don't know how the bartender keeps them straight. He was constantly pouring different things into a shaker. Then he would shake it and pour it into the glass that was already filled with crushed ice. One of the drinks even had a smoking cinnamon stick. My drink was really good. It was the Three Dots and a Dash. It came in a barrel and was decorated with a skull toothpick that had three cherries and a piece of pineapple to represent the dots and dash. It was super strong! I was ready to risk it all and go for another drink, but it had gotten packed inside the bar. We could tell the bartender was stressing. They really need two for times like that. My wife spends the night at my son's house in New Braunfels every Thursday to give them a date night. Evidently, this is where they always go. I can certainly see why!

So I went to Bar 1919 in Southtown, a tucked-away speakeasy-style bar. I'd heard it could be difficult to find, and that mystery is part of the charm. Once I stepped inside, I was struck by how polished and inviting it felt: low amber lighting, dark wood, intimate seating, and a quiet hum of conversation that made the room feel removed from the rest of the city. The atmosphere was elegant without feeling stiff. The dim light glowed against the bar, and the cozy layout made it easy to settle in. There was something satisfying about searching for the entrance and then emerging into such a carefully designed space. [NAME] took care of me, and the service was warm and attentive. I was there by myself, but I never felt awkward sitting alone. The bartender checked in without hovering and made the experience feel relaxed from beginning to end. He also made me a from-scratch cocktail. [COCKTAIL NAME/INGREDIENTS] The drink was beautifully balanced, with [YOUR WORDS ABOUT THE TASTE/QUALITY OF THE DRINK].

The service has consistently been exceptional, and I particularly appreciate their impressive bourbon and whiskey selection.

Combined with a moderate noise level that allows for comfortable conversation, it's an ideal setting for both meaningful catch-ups and professional engagements.

Our waiter, Matt, seemed extremely inattentive throughout the evening. We waited approximately 40 minutes just to receive our drinks, followed by another hour before he came back to take our food order. By that point, the long wait had significantly affected the mood of the evening, and I found it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. Fully understand that wait times vary but we were there very early evening and the place was not packed at all. Also, we were 1 hour before happy hour ended, and planed to really enjoy the special but because Matt's inattention to us were only got one drink in before the end of happy hour. It would have been great to have him stop by the table at least once before happy hour ending to remind us that the happy hour is almost near close what we'd like to get in another drink order....or even just come back by our table to see how we were doing! All together I think we were there for three hours mainly waiting on Matt. Meanwhile he was spotted several times on his phone or hangout at the front. The food itself was good, and the drinks were enjoyable once they arrived. However, attentive and timely service plays a major role in the overall dining experience, and the delays overshadowed the quality of what we ordered. We left feeling frustrated and disappointed rather than impressed. I would consider returning to The Esquire to give the restaurant another chance, since the food showed promise. However, I would specifically request a different server next time. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously because with more attentive service, the restaurant could provide a much better experience.

This is a true speakeasy-style lounge that's easy to overlook from the outside--it looks like a regular, unassuming place. But once you step inside, the atmosphere completely changes. The interior is cozy, intimate, and has that hidden-gem feeling you want from a speakeasy. The staff members are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I had the pleasure of having Adan behind the bar, and this guy knows how to make a good drink! As always, I started with my go-to Old Fashioned. I have to say, it was easily one of my top two Old Fashioneds I've ever had. Then I told Adan to surprise me, and he came up with some kind of peanut butter chocolate martini. Let me just say... it was a true pleasure. Rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. What I really liked about The Modernist is that it feels like a place the locals actually frequent rather than just another tourist spot. I genuinely had a great time here. If you're visiting San Antonio and find yourself downtown, give The Modernist a try. Step away from the River Walk for a little while--you might just discover your new favorite spot.

For her second drink, she told the bartender to surprise her. He gave her a look and asked more than once if she was sure she wanted him to surprise her. Instead of making her an actual cocktail, he poured her what seemed to be a straight, extremely bitter liqueur. The whole interaction felt sarcastic and like he was intentionally messing with her rather than trying to make her something she would enjoy. What bothered me most was the attitude behind it. We weren't being rude, demanding, or causing problems. We were there to have a good time and experience the whole "tell us what you like and we'll make you something" concept. I did call the number listed for the business afterward trying to speak to someone about it. The person who answered said I had the wrong number and didn't know what I was talking about. I got angry during that call and said some things I shouldn't have, and I can admit that. But that doesn't change how disappointing the experience at the bar was. We expected a creative and welcoming experience and instead left feeling like my wife had been mocked. I hope management sees this and addresses it, because the concept of the place is great, but the way we were treated completely ruined it for us
