My husband and I went to an Asian Whiskey tasting here (about $80pp) and I loved it! I hear they have different alcohol tastings each month which got me excited. I believe the owners name is Don and he was very upbeat and knowledgeable about the different whiskeys that we tasted. We learned about the regions and the processes of each bottle. There were maybe 20-30 people at the tasting which made it more intimate and personal. I'll definitely be back to try more. read more

your door man is the rudest man i have ever meet. will never go back . I had an almost empty water bottle I was about to finish I just pulled a double shift and meeting friends there and he treated me like I was robbing the place. Never will return. read more

We came in for one drink. They have a selection of alcohols that is unsurpassed by anywhere else I have been. Since they had absinthe, I inquired about a green Fairy. They made it specially for me. Heavenly! If you want an exotic poor it can run you over $2500. Be careful what you order. We came on a Friday with a live jazz band. Service was perfect. read more

First and foremost, this place does not take Apple Pay. It was no where advertised and if you say something they will be rude to you and roll their eyes . Mind you no one cussed at them so you perpetuating that narrative is just unprofessional and foul. The bartender who served me remained kind whoever took my bill was rude and unprofessional to me when I was doing my absolute best to get yall paid. So yes that makes them an asshole and you as well for thinking you could spin your narrative and I would say anything . Fkk this pretentious place and I'm doubling down on that . Learn some manners especially when people are compliant. You're also telling me to get a life when you're the one coming on here changing your response to sound more professional and basically admitting you're a liar to make your staff not look so unprofessional. I know for a fact I didn't cuss at your staff your responses show how disrespectful and unprofessional you are as an owner as well and if anyone should reflect on their character it's you since you wanna come on here and straight up lie . I did also see someone else calling you out for being unprofessional and rude . This business is a joke and if I could give it a 0 I would . read more

Love the experience here every time . Nice drinks and great service with quality drinks every time.

I have a video of their bouncers throwing my phone, my passport, my wallet! Very immature. The owner actually sat next to me... kept trying to talk to me Not knowing who I am or where I'm from! Told him to have a good night and leave me alone, didn't want any thing to with him unless it was in my gym! Passport is gone 100$ is gone! we are going to court read more

Always a big fan of Rock and Rye. The bar looks amazing and there is a wide variety of drinks to choose from many of which are very unique. Many great whisky/bourbon options as well. Service is great at this location. Sometimes they have live music and it can get quite loud as the venue isn't super large and they'll bring in drums and conversation gets pretty tough but regardless - still give this place 5/5 read more

Drinks were good. Menu specifically says kitchen closes at 11:30. I attempted to order a Pork Hot Dog @11:20 and was denied because the kitchen was closed. Great drinks... should get their hours right in which their kitchen is open. read more

Rock and Rye - Sunday Tiki Cocktail !! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I used to bartend in dive bars--good times, but nothing like what these mixologists are doing here. The craft, the creativity, the precision... it's on another level. I've had the pleasure of meeting several of the bartenders (BB, David, Dominic, Spencer, and Jorge), and they're not only incredibly skilled but genuinely awesome people. True professionals all around. I'm still learning everyone's names, but every visit just reinforces how great this team is. I don't leave reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves one. After more than 30 years in the service industry and countless visits to restaurants and bars, it takes a lot to impress me--and this spot does it every single time. The drinks are exceptional, the service is consistently fantastic, and the knowledge behind the bar is top-tier. I highly recommend stopping in and trying their spectacular creations. You won't be disappointed. read more

One of my favorite places to be and last night was the perfect crowd not to busy and not to quiet even had a live jazz band which the music was not to bad. Bartenders are quick to take your order and you're always noticed by them so you're not just standing there feeling awkward. For us older guys or ladies ask for reading lamp since the spirit and cocktail book can be pretty hard to read since the lighting can be little dim. They have just about every type of spirit your palate enjoys and can afford as well as some very expensive ones. Crowd has always been good,on weekdays it's more of mature crowd mix with little bit of young people and weekends can feel little bit of college night or hipster atmosphere but nonetheless still cool crowd. I am always take care of my bartenders by always tipping them and you be surprised they'll remember you and always give a more extra pour. Wink Wink. There's Beer on draft and selective beer bottles don't know what they are I rarely drink beer there....oh they have a outdoor patio so you can purchase cigars in the lounge and smoke in the patio or bring your own and the seating inside is really nice. See y'all there! Cheers!!! read more

We like this place and the vibe and selection. We come here often. Today was a first though. Found it very odd though that I have cash and want to pay cash and am told it's mandatory to open a tab with a card and Incan use cash later. Why on earth?? Also on the online menu the summer series of drinks only shows pictures of pretty drinks with no names or ingredients. Edit, I was willing to cash out on the spot as I ordered, so the credit card was unnecessary. But I understand your comment for most situations but it shouldn't have applied when I was ready to cash out after just one. read more

There's some fucking kid in this bar that makes the most unbelievable drinks, fantastic customer service, but he likes Tottenham, so that's just automatically makes the worst human on the planet, but his drinks are amazing. And the vibe here is great. Phhukk Tottenham GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED read more

This is my second time at Rock and Rye and, it just keeps getting better and better. I came with a friend and was unsure what I wanted as it's a specialty cocktail joint that steers clear of the usual rum and coke and evolves into a work of art in the liquid form. We ended up with Alex and he asked me a few questions and quickly guessed right on point for what I was looking for. He ended up serving me a Tater Swift...(secret menu item) and it was perfect! It was a sweet potato,coffee and nutmeg creamy type concoction that made my taste buds do a backflip. They also have a great selection of mocktails for the non drinkers like my friend. My friend ended up with a Strawberry delight and was very satisfied with this refreshing concoction. All of the employees here gave top knotch friendly service, and I enjoyed the environment. The bar was spacious and chairs were comfortable. They have a beautiful selection and array of bottles going to the ceiling. I noticed some cuties and pops mingled in there like my boy Grogu (baby Yoda). This place has gone way above my expectations, and I hope to return soon to try some food items. I noticed several sandwiches that caught my eye. Rock and Rye will rock your world! Definitely give them a try. read more

Rock and Rye - Beautiful bar and great selection. Wonderful service as well. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I love going to Rock and Rye. Overall, it's a nice, classy joint with great food/drink options and a calming atmosphere. SERVICE: Bouncer/security is always nice, personable, and respectful. Bartenders are similar. In all my experiences, they have been knowledgeable and always attentive, though never burdensome or pushy. DRINKS: Fantastic, eclectic arsenal of mixed drinks, beers, wines, liquors, and cigars. I am mainly into mixed drinks, so that's what I'll speak to. I've really been into the Q Cum Cocktail recently, which is vodka with dill, Serrano, lime, and cucumber. A bit unique, but right up my alley, personally. I also thoroughly enjoy the Ukraine Mule (Moscow Mule), Aviation Cocktail, and True Azul. Finally, I've had a few Chardonnays and never been dissatisfied. FOOD: I've only had the pretzel with assorted mustards, but I get it literally EVERY TIME. I love mustard as it is and this little dish (pictured below) always hits the spot. OVERALL: Fantastic bar that is relaxed and perfect for quieter evenings with friends or family. read more

Rock & Rye was a very fun bar to visit. I went with a party of six, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxed. It wasn't overly loud, so we were able to easily hear each other and enjoy conversation. I really enjoyed their cocktails--especially the Northern Exposure. I would definitely go back again! read more

Great space, amazing cocktails! David, our bartender, was knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely a Speakeasy feel!

The best whiskey selection on the northwest side of town. Good service, but Scottish pronunciation throws them for a bit of a loop - very understandable in South Texas, but maybe something that can be worked on. read more

Pretty busy for a Wednesday night! The place is clean, our waitress Monica knows so much about the drink menu and she is pretty awesome. This is our daughters hang out with her friends and she thought we would love the drinks and she is absolutely right. The booths are super comfy and everyone is there for a good time. My daughter ordered my drink so I don't know what it was but it had fruity pebbles in it and it was fantastic. Everything everyone had was sooo good. I can't wait to go back. read more
