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The Esquire Tavern is the oldest bar on the San Antonio Riverwalk, opened the year, month and day that Prohibition was repealed.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.

Probably has the nicest looking restaurant on the riverwalk. The cavernous space is at one quiet and loud depending on where you sit. Would definitely return next time in San Antonio.

Beginning with a steller greeting from our server Gabriel, we were treated to a memorable meal, one for the record books. Gabriel treated us as family and took time to describe many of the items on the menu. Their bread basket was filled with delicious fresh baked breads and came with salt and butter. We enjoyed the shrimp appetizer in a cheese grit base. The beet salad was amazing as well. We enjoyed the antelope for the first time and it lived up to Gabriel’s recommendation! We also enjoyed the beef tenderloin cooked to perfection, along with amazing root vegetables. The food combined with our terrific server, Gabriel, was an amazing experience and we will be back again soon.
