About The Esquire Tavern

The Esquire Tavern offers a cool ambience and excellent service, making it a popular spot in town. Known as the oldest bar on the Riverwalk, it features a long wooden bar, claimed to be the longest in Texas at 100 feet, which adds to its charm. The menu showcases bar food favorites like deviled eggs, Tavern Chicken, and BLT, along with special dishes such as Pork Belly Torta and Mussels (Moules Frites). The bacon egg salad is also highly enjoyed. The atmosphere is relaxed, with an old-world charm and a darker, mysterious vibe, often requiring a phone flashlight to read the menu. The tavern's location near the river walk provides a picturesque setting, especially from outdoor seating overlooking the San Antonio Riverwalk. Customers praise the friendly service, even on busy nights, and highlight drinks like the cognac French 75, regarded as one of the best in San Antonio. With a Speak Easy in the basement and mixologists offering fresh takes on classic drinks, it’s an incredible place for adults to relax and enjoy good food and drinks. Nearby paid parking or rideshare options are available for convenience.
