Located in the heart of downtown, The Esquire Tavern is the oldest bar on the San Antonio Riverwalk, opened the year, month and day that Prohibition was repealed. Tending bar in the early days was a highly prized and much sought after craft. Bar keeps then created many of their own syrups, mixes and concoctions and used the freshest of juices with the intention of serving the best products. We at the Esquire have taken a serious approach to the old world of bartending and spun it with a modern twist. Combining classic techniques and new world flavors and culinary concepts, our goal is to lead and set San Antonio's emerging cocktail culture on the map.

    I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! First of all, the vibes are incredible. The restaurant is smaller and feels more intimate. The service is wonderful (shoutout to you, Grace). Everything we ordered was incredible, so I don’t think you could ever go wrong. For how nice of a place this was and how good the food is, the price was very reasonable. This is our new favorite place to eat! This is some of the BEST food I’ve had in SA.

    They were flexible with my reservation as our group was running late from a convention. That was great. My favorite feature they offer is half serving sizes for most of their entrees. This was so nice it allowed my wife and I to try different entrees and share.

    Me and my wife enjoyed our 17th anniversary here and the ambience was beautiful!!! Sitting over the Riverwalk looking down on the city was amazing. The drinks were also amazing. The food not so much. We got the brisket queso appetizer and the cheese was so thick and greasy it was unappetizing. We also tried the brisket tacos, which were mediocre at best, they came out medium warm but had great flavor just a little tough.
