It’s very nice and welcoming. I’ll be back tomorrow.
Historic location and always something going on.
Love this very old bar in downtown San Antonio. I recall this used to be a private social club decades ago, but open to the public for a while now. Beautiful ballroom upstairs with original jars wood floors, a 9 pin bowling alley on the 2nd floor (closed)—so much more potential than what they’re doing with this space, but we had a great time ❤️
