Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Esquire Tavern is the oldest San Antonio bar on the Riverwalk. It is famous for having the longest wooden bar top in Texas featuring 100 feet of elbow-rubbed, beer-soaked old wood. The Esquire Tavern is a real, old-world bar, cool and dark, with lovely old wood paneling, a favorite watering hole for downtown patrons looking for cold beer, hot food and interesting conversation. The bar opened in 1933, just after Prohibition ended.

The food is mostly Texan, a bit Mexican and fairly spicy. Draft beers are mostly from Texas microbreweries, but they have everything else too, including a nice wine selection and original cocktails that will put you in the right mood for food. For a snack to go with your beer, try their chalupitas, pork belly rillettes or shrimp campechana. They have great burgers and sandwiches and their plates are Texan, big and awesome.
