    Brisket rangoons
    Lisa R.

    This is the restaurant-bar in the Marriot River Center lobby, nicely set up with plenty of seating around and at the bar. You can seat yourself and be waited in quickly, eat in the restaurant or take your food and drinks back to your room, the service was great. I had a coupe of the small plates, the brisket quesadillas were amazing! Lots of flavor and the radish and pickled red onions added just the right touch. The rangoons were just okay, kind of dry and over cooked. You will pay hotel prices so a little more expensive but not unreasonable, definitely worth a try if you stay here.

    Birria quesadilla

    Ended up eating here twice. One to go at the hotel room. One down in the lobby. It's a nice clean ambiance and look. Waiters and bar top employees are great. Very nice. The burger was pretty darn good. Now I'm a sucker for a in n out 3x3. But this was decent. Good price and the duck fat potatoes were awesome. The quesadilla was decent. Very cheesy and oily but the Birria and sauce was delicious and rich. The second dine experience was even better. Probably because I grabbed the 8 oz filet mignon cooked medium rare. It was near flawless. I've had some great steaks and this was one of the top

    Hugs fresh wings.
    Loren R.

    Best wings I've ever had! Why? Large juicy fresh as large as my wrist wings. No breading, all wing. Light traditional buffalo sauce. Dusting of chives. House ranch-ish dip. Plenty of celery and carrots. It was a meal. Fast and friendly. I wanted to eat drink and get to bed fast. That happened. Friday during the dinner rush. Good job Alex

    The Wedge Salad
    Winfred S.

    We decided to eat here after we checked in to the hotel. It was pretty busy but they did get to us relatively quickly. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. We have eaten at other hotel restaurants on the Riverwalk and this definitely would end up on our Top Five List. We had The Wedge Salad, Smoked Chicken, and The Brussel Sprouts. We finished with The Sweet Potato Cheesecake. The service was prompt. The atmosphere is busy and a little noisy. This is expected of a restaurant lounge. The food was very tasty. We are planning on stopping by tomorrow evening again.

    Barbacoa nachos
    May G.

    I went here during San Japan with a group of 8. We were seated fast, though the food took a while to come out. The barbacoa nachos were able to feed several people and tasted pretty decent. The pepperoni flatbread was good too. It wasn't particularly spicy tho. We ordered for the whole table and it ended up being almost $15/person, not bad.

    Barbacoa Nachos were huge, and very delicious. David G. Was an amazing server, very personable.

    Was here for an event and decided to grab a bite with a co worker. We split the Brussels sprouts and I got a burger. The Brussels sprouts we way too large a quantity. They could halve that portion and price. But I liked the sweet flavor and the savory blue cheese on it. The burger was as I ordered it. It's like a smash burger- more thin patties versus one large thick patty. It was good. The onion rings were ok. The service is worth mentioning. They were slammed with our event upstairs in the ballroom and hustled the whole time. We were never forgotten.

    Tributary Burger and Fries
    Joanie G.

    My Son had an event in San Antonio and everyone pretty much stayed in the same hotel. We arrived late the first day, so I was so grateful to see a small walk in bakery/convenience store and full service restaurant and bar inside the lobby of the San Antonio Marriot Rivercenter Hotel. It was packed the entire weekend we were there! So the big and popular restaurant was Tributary, located right when you walked in the hotel lobby. Since it was late and I hadn't had dinner, I decided to order something and take it up to my room. I decided to go with their Tributary Burger. It's a 2 patty smash burger with all the fixings plus cheese slices and bacon. Of the sides I chose their potatoes fried in duck fat. Oh my gosh, when I picked it up, it smelled so good, lol. I was so exhausted, it didn't even occur to me take a picture, but I posted one, so you can see how yummy it looks! Their burger is SO good, I had one the next night too. After being on my feet all day walking up and down the Riverwalk, then going to my Son's concert, I wasn't going anywhere else, but up to my room. Their burger is THAT good! So are their fries, and you get plenty of fries to share for sure. So if you're ever in downtown SA, stop in and have a meal at Tributary. I'm sure anything you eat there, will be good!

    Great place for food and drinks. We had a large group every evening for several evenings and for the most part, service was good. They were very busy due to two simultaneous conferences going on. The place was packed.

    Barbaccoa Nachos

    The food was amazing and the portions were huge! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Food came out a little slow for our lunch hour at conference but we made it back in time. Super comfortable chairs and environment.

    Sat in bar area after checking in. Me and my cousin ordered two beers. The bartender was not friendly at all towards us. Took her time even taking our order I had to wave her down multiple times. She finally comes takes our drink order and when asked to open a tab my cousin gives her his AMEX and the attitude instantly changes. Checked on us multiple times. Energy definitely changed. My other cousin got off his work call came down and sat next to us. He asked if he can put in an order of fries she gives him a hard time says Kitchen doesn't open until 4pm it was literally 3:57. Very weird. We finished our beers and left. We usually go rounds but the nasty service had us get up and explore the downtown area near the river walk.

    Recently we hosted our Morrissey After Party at Bang Bang Bar, following the former Smiths…read morefrontman's sold-out January 10th performance at the Boeing Center at Tech Port and honestly, we couldn't have written a better script. Morrissey hadn't graced San Antonio in over 10 years, with past cancellations and postponements haunting fans along the way. So when he finally returned, San Antonio Moz fans showed up and showed out. Despite multiple after-party options across the city, fans from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Japan, and all across the U.S. chose Bang Bang Bar as the place to be on a cold Saturday night. Hosted by local emcee Ricardo Moz and Apollo DJ, the night turned into one for the history books. Bang Bang Bar is easily one of Texas' best dive-lounge bars...the perfect blend of gritty and cozy. Great cocktail program, solid beer selection, and a vibe that just works. The décor leans heavy into a 1950s-60s lounge aesthetic, with intimate spaces like the Blue Room and Yellow Room, perfect for groups of 7-10. Low lighting, warm atmosphere, and zero pretension exactly what you want for a night like this. Bang Bang Bar consistently supports local and touring acts, spanning punk, alternative, and DJ-driven nights, and this Moz Smiths Disco was no exception. It was wall-to-wall classics all night long. Major credit to Phanie and the Bang Bang Bar management they rolled up their sleeves, brought in extra bar staff, and handled an overwhelming crowd like pros. Fans waited up to 45 minutes in the cold, with a line wrapping around the building, and the energy inside never dipped. As the host of Panic On The Streets, I'm incredibly thankful to Bang Bang Bar for helping us pull off one of the best after-parties we've done in years. Fittingly, 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of both Bang Bang Bar and Panic On The Streets of San Antonio and what a way to celebrate. Bang Bang Bar has long been one of my favorite bars in town, and after this night, that reputation is more than earned. Can't wait to do another Moz Smiths Disco here. -- Panic On The Streets of San Antonio

They were happy to answer my questions and I was never made to feel rushed. The bar itself has an awesome vibe. It's divey but offer fancy drinks. The bar has a stage (we've seen FEA perform there) and they have ample seating (tables, couches, stools, etc). I also enjoy how each couch area is its own living room setup (think of what you see when shopping for couches/coffee tables) and feel/vibe. I make it a point to come and visit this bar any time I'm in San Antonio. We love supporting Phanie and her bands in any way possible. Girl in a Coma and FEA 4ever!

    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.)

    We are here before going to a show. They have two entrances, one from the river walk where you have…read moreto go upstairs and another where you can walk in from the street. However, if you come in from the street, you need to walk to the other side of the restaurant to get a table.. We ordered a limonada with prickly pear, fried quail, lamb burger, and bison burger. The burgers were quite big and taste really good but the bison burger meat kind of fell apart too easily. The ricotta cheese on the lamb burger was quite strong. They came with a few spicy pickled veggies as a side. The limonada was as expected . I highly recommend a fried quails legs. We enjoy eating quails, but it's usually bittersweet relationship because of all the small bones however their appetizer for fried quail legs is super user-friendly. If you are scared of choking on small bones, these will not give you that kind of worry at all. We were impressed on how well-made and easily eaten they were. Our waiter was very friendly and he checked on us a few times. He was also the one that suggested the fried quail legs. We walked here .
