50 Best Wine Bars in San Antonio

“Love this place. Good wine, good food and good service.“

“Food is delicious, bruchettas are great and tomato soup was so good. there's a relaxed fun environment and most of all staff service is just excellent I highly recommend 👌“

“Fantastic wine, food built around the pairings - the grilled cheese is superb - and an atmosphere that makes you want to hang out all night. Yum!“

“If you’re looking for the best wine in downtown San Antonio, look no further! The staff and owner are super knowledgeable, and the wine speaks for itself. DELICIOIS! Plus, the charcuterie and bites are tasty. It’s definitely one of my favorite places downtown and I will be back time and time again!“

“Wonderful little hidden gem (that's maybe becoming not quite so hidden). I attended a special wine dinner here and, even though I don't drink at all, I still really enjoyed the meal. The food was all thoughtfully prepared and felt truly like dining at a friend's home. Everything was so personal and intentional.

I was sat at a communal table with other solo diners which led to some really interesting conversation. We all bonded over our appreciation of the food.

I can't speak to the restaurant's standard menu, but if it's anything like this dinner, it'll be phenomenal.“

“They are a Mom and Pop ownership. Sandra and Jesse are very Friendly but Professional. The live music was good! The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable! I highly recommend this Wine Bar!“

“The ambience was a vibe. Food was amazing.🤌🏽 The surprise of each course made for an experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Highly recommend.“

“Perfect gathering place for friends. Great wine options, great food, and a wonderful space for a fun and memorable time.“

“Great stuff. Josh is the shit and the staff is very nice.“

“Great service very nice warm 💕 place ideal from Romance and great selection in wines 💕 mon amour’s“

“Went to dinner before the Tobin show. New fall menu. The buttternut squash soup was delicious 😋 and served hot. Unfortunately the quinoa harvest salad with roasted beets, butternut squash, pepitas, and goat cheese was only greens…. Minus the other listed ingredients. Our waitress Brook was notified and said the cook staff that made the salad broke up with his girlfriend and sad! 😔 well we were sad and disappointed ☹️ and no compensation offered. The chicken Caesar salad was delicious. 😋 Hopefully no one else will get the same poor quality fall salad ! Beware ! 👻 trick or treat???!!!“

“Zinc Bistro & Wine Bar.💯🙏❤“

“10/10 experience! The pizza was fire, cocktails were on point, and the vibe was unbeatable. Amazing service sealed the deal. Already planning my next visit!“

“Little Death Wine Store.💯🙏“

“My daughter and I had a great experience there this morning. We ordered a Chai tea and a Cortado. Upon tasting my Cortado, I realized that it was not only the best ever, but that I had to post immediately the wonderful taste and presentation. Not all coffee shops are this great. Shotgun House Rasters is a must visit on the Westside.“

“We have used The Board Couple several times and every single time they exceed our expectations. They are easy to work with, ensure quality of their products, are fully willing to work with you on what you want for your board, I cannot say enough positive things. We have used them for both holidays and game nights and there is always so much wonderful food that it lasts for the entire event. Everything they have put together for us has been stunning and our guests always ask for their information so they can also order from them. They are not only a wonderful business, but also wonderful and kind people. We had an unexpected death in the family and they worked tirelessly to help us reorganize our board delivery and set up with no complaints, they were more worried about us grieving than their time and energy! They were unbelievably sweet and we are so thankful. I can’t recommend them enough, truly, wonderful offerings and wonderful people!“

“This place is amazing! I went with a group so I was able to try a lot of things on the menu and everything I had was top notch! Great selection of wines and beers. Fun environment that’s fancy enough for a date but chill enough to bring kids. Loved everything about the place!“

“The drinks and atmosphere are amazing!!“

“Food is incredible! Ambience is relaxing people are friendly and eager to help make your dining experience fantastic“

“the food was amazing as was the staff. it was a wonderful dinner and a wonderful evening“

“We had a wonderful experience at La Frite. They even accommodated our three year old who said his pasta was the most amazing he ever had. From mussels to the chocolate tart everything was amazing.“

“My last visit to park bar i had the best time. I was looking for a place to sit in the hall, only seat was at the bar. Best decision I made. Almareli the bar tender was so attentive, friendly and quick service. Thank you so much Almareli for a great experience in a busy hall! Love park bar and will be returning soon!“

“An impeccable experience!
Our waiter Jesse was perfect. His balance being attentive, without being overbearing in any way made his experience obvious.❤

What a lovely experience.
A big thanks to Chef Stu and Managing Partner Chris Madere.
The NY strip was the perfect temperature and the lobster bisque will be ordered over and over.

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

“Best place and coffee!! Recommend“

“Such a great restaurant. Great food, service, environment. I’ve had their NY Strip and it is absolutely fantastic. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. HIGHLY recommend.“

“Ordered 4 pizzas from Goldbelly to Tulsa Ok. Absolutely the best pizza I have ever had. Perfect, chewy crust, fresh delicious toppings. Could not ask for anything better. Thank you.“

“Had a very pleasant evening with 4 other family members. Cuisine is a bit unique but all meals were very good and the service was outstanding. It is a real pleasure to sit in a restaurant and have a conversation without having to yell over the din and ask tablemates to repeat themselves.“

“We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and we absolutely loved the food! The restaurant has great kids’ menu options that our son loved, and they also offer gluten-free options, which is a big plus for me. Everything was delicious, and we had a wonderful experience as a family. We’ll definitely be coming back! ❤“

“Trivia night, food and vibes were unmatched at Elsewhere Bar & Kitchen. Definitely coming back!“

“Visited this area on September 27. Parking is always plentiful. There are a few reputable restaurants in this shopping center - Milano's, Tacos-n-Salsa, etc.

I always have a good experience when visiting this area to dine.“

“Great location for Drinks and Live Music!“

“We highly recommend this fabulous restaurant. I began going here just after they opened many years ago and have consistently had a delightful experience there. The service is superb, the food is delicious and the wine selection is excellent, and at a reasonable price! Their Happy Hour is one of the best in town! Don’t miss it!“

“This was our first time to this eatery when we stopped in for lunch. It is located at the corner of Huebner Rd. and Churchill Estates Blvd. So easy to find and parking was not an issue. We were greeted immediately by a very talkative lady who steered us towards the specials of the day that were posted on the black board at the entrance for $11.99. You go through a buffet type order line with desserts, salads, paninis, pizzas and such. She proceeded to show us the large assortment of pizzas offered, which was a good variety of choices and all looked scrumptious. The salad offerings include tossed, veggie, and pasta variations. Since we had a Groupon, we could not purchase the specials so ordered off of the regular menu. We had the Chicken Piccata ($17), a house salad ($1.99 as add on) and came with bread. It was very much enjoyed with the chicken, spaghetti and sauce just right. The salad was a good side serving and the bread was deliciously warm, buttery and soooo good served with a balsamic and oil dip. We were so overwhelmed we actually forgot to order for the other person. But we shared the meal and made for a nice lite lunch. There were no customers when we arrived for an early lunch but it got steadily busier by the time we left but still plenty of table seating. The place was clean and the décor nice. They have a few tables outside. We will definitely need to return, when in the area, to try the pizza and other offerings.“

“Great customer service, wasn’t waiting long for food affordable and overall comfortable environment would definitely recommend.“

“Had an early dinner (5pm) and dined inside on a Tuesday. We wanted to beat any dinner rush that may have shown up. This was my first visit, and with the food they offered, I’d expect they’d have lots of people rushing there for dinner. I had the Pad Thai, which was excellent, but can we talk about their guacamole salad starter?!?! So it’s a bowl of guac with homemade chips and sides of pico (which for me was better than any pico I’d ever had before), a second pico-like concoction made with mango (I was blown away by how delicious it was), and a red salsa (which seemed like a blend of spicy and sweet….so good). Let me put it this way, it’s 11:00pm, I’m getting into bed and I’m still thinking of the food at Pam’s Patio Kitchen. The staff was super nice as well. This hidden little gem really left an impression on me! Can’t wait to go back!“

“The wine!! Absolutely amazing. My favorite pizza was the Bruschetta NY style and the goat cheese appetizer was to die for. Customer service was impeccable. Highly recommend!“

“First dining experience in San Antonio was right across the street from the hotel, a place called DOUGH….it’s a double entendre of sorts, the founder is a man named Doug Horn, so it’s effectively his first name plus the initial of his last……it’s also an Italian Restaurant, of which dough is a prime staple and fitting for such an establishment….Doug and wife Lori founded this business yearning for an experience to rival those of southern Italy, with the Caprese themed colors of the Italian flag - red, white, and green represented by tomato, mozzarella, and basil….I found my own inspiration in Italy, in fact, as I traveled there several times while stationed in Germany, and found the hanging sausages of the local salumerias absolutely fascinating….it reminded me of my grandparents’ garage growing up, with the European style landjager dried sausages hanging from wall to wall, an artisanship which joined my great great grandpa Wilhelm on his voyage to the New World in 1898….and at some point, it entered my mind that I wanted to bring that slice of Italy back to the United States with me, as did Doug and Lori, and re-create it on some level here in Thorndale…it took nigh a decade, but our dried sausage program is bustling, even including an Italian Caprese flavor in the lineup of over a dozen flavors we continue to perfect every week…..now, as for DOUGH, it is the real deal….the housemade mozzarella is exceptional, and the Caprese dish with ample tomatoes, big leaves of fresh basil, coarse salt and pepper, with a drizzle of olive oil and dabs of balsamic, is a meal unto itself…..then the bruschetta, with marinated cherry tomatoes, chubby cloves of sauteed garlic, and some handmade garlic-parmesan bread, there was really no need to follow up with a pizza, yet we did anyway…..and the pizza was again a rockstar, the crust is just phenomenal, the marinara sauce is not overbearing, just the right amount and it bursts with flavor, ample oregano, garlic, and basil….we couldn’t finish it all, but I assure you it made for an excellent breakfast the next morning…...it’s a bit loud and crowded, but it is the city, after all, so peace and quiet is not the norm…and it’s hard to beat that view, with the almost-full moon dancing around the lit-up Tower of the America’s…..crowded is a tell-tale sign of popularity, and speaking of busy, it’s a long weekend ahead, triple header style caterings Saturday and Sunday, but we got the full BBQ Lineup today and Saturday, doors open at 1030am….GIDDY UP....“

“First time to San Antonio, first time to Paesanos, and we were delighted by the experience! I have a gluten allergy and I know when a place gets such high reviews on my gluten free app I have to try it. Darren made sure we had a wonderful evening. They had a number of pasta and pizza options, but I went with one of their flagship pasta dishes considering it's what helped put this place on the map in the late 1960s. Considering it was a lemon pasta dish I was kind of skeptical because most I've had in the past felt so lemon forward that's all I could notice. This dish was light and elegant, I enjoyed it so much! The shrimp were cooked perfectly. My husband had the stuffed shells which he enjoyed immensely. He really liked the bread and olive oil as well before our entrees arrived. Anyway, on top of the delicious food we had a very attentive waiter in Darren, who not only had a lot of knowledge of the restaurant's history, but that of San Antonio as a whole. We had a great time talking with him and learning about the city. It was a great experience and we will be back when we're in town!“

“Jerry and Mary know how to cook great Pizza and Pasta! Best spaghetti and meatballs ever!“

“Oh, man! This place is delicious. I try to live a somewhat low carb lifestyle and SoFrio offers some delicious options. I had the pleasure to indulge in their 10oz sirloin topped with garlic roasted mushrooms and a side of asparagus. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. I'm a cook myself so I don't say this lightly. However, when I want to eat clean carbs SoFrio also offers amazing options in that department as well; the Buddha Bowl comes to mind. Wow! It's amazing and lays siege upon your taste buds in an explosion of flavors. It's delicious and the best part? It's light, but not too light to be unfulfilled and not too heavy to leave you unfuctional or lethargic. I also had the pleasure to try the Brussels. I know many people aren't fans of these little cruciferous vegetables, but SoFrio's will change your mind. I couldn't believe they were Brussels. They were roasted superbly with sweet and smokey notes from the cashews that are also an integral ingredient to this tasty side. Yes, SoFrio is located within the Double Tree in downtown San Antonio. Yes, it's open to the public and I hope more people find this gem of a place. I'm personally looking forward to eating here again. The staff is also ace! Very attentive and friendly. Go to SoFrio!“

“Extremely fast service!! Rebekah was a wonderful waitress so friendly and excellent. The Classico was amazing! Pizza was cooked perfectly and fast!!“

“First time here and I enjoyed the delicious food. They bring you some garlic bread before your food which was great to start off and while you wait. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and shrimp, and for dessert I had the cheesecake. The staff were very friendly and my waiter was very attentive, I recommend this restaurant and I will visit again soon.“

“Frank was an awesome server. They catered well to our first experience and my sons 18th. We had steak with Diablo’s shrimp and seared scallops. Shared sides of crusted Brussel sprouts and lobster mash. Dessert was olive oil cake and crème brûlée.“

“Ruth Chris steak house is the best! We love it and were patrons of the original location in New Orleans (before Katrina). Now that we live in South Texas, the La Contrera location is our “go to.” Friday night we celebrated a birthday and the steaks and the rest were delicious and consistent with what we’ve come to expect over many years! The staff has always been amazing each visit, but I have to say that Hash and KiKi went above and beyond! Excellent, attentive service and great conversation about our history with the restaurant. They did a fabulous job!“

“Genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. The brussel sprout dish in particular is so delicious and full of complex flavors I start floating out my seat from bliss. Service is always so speedy quick and attentive too!! I love it here and will keep coming back!“

“Amazing lunch on Sunday! We started with the calamari appetizer which was delicious and generous portions. My parents both had the bolognese pasta and my wife and I enjoyed the cinghaile. I highly recommend both of these pasta dishes. If you are a GF person like my wife - don't fret, they got you covered!“

“I pull up and there's plenty of parking. At first I could not find the front door 🚪 lol. But I eventually found it. It was my first time there I walk in and I'm greeted and was told I could order on the left side of the bar. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with french fries. My friend ordered a grilled chicken with mushrooms and we got a four-piece egg roll appetizer And two big red's sodas. My bill was $45. I was told I could sit anywhere and they would bring me my food as soon as it was ready. It was nice inside but I decided to sit outside and get some fresh air this evening. 10 minutes later my 4-Piece egg roll appetizer comes out with sweet and sour sauce. It was fresh and delicious. 10 more minutes go buy and my entree comes out nice, fresh And hot. Me and my friend Anna enjoyed are evening and dinner at SouthTown 101. I would recommend SouthTown 101 to anybody who has an open mind because you will see things you usually don't see at other places like men kissing each other and etcetera. If you're not used to that environment this is not the place for you. Very friendly staff.“

“I was in town for a conference and had the pleasure of hearing the Alamo Allstars—they are absolutely phenomenal! Such an amazing jazz band that made the night unforgettable. We were served by Chloe, who was personable, friendly, and incredibly attentive.

This restaurant is a hidden gem—not only is it right on the River Walk, but it also has a cigar deck upstairs with comfortable seating. Maybe one day they’ll even add TVs for sports, which would make it perfect. Between the music, the atmosphere, and the service, you will not be disappointed“

“Sept 2026
Back to celebrate another birthday. Raul did a great job as our server. We requested a reservation for 6 in a quiet area. We ordered beef enchiladas, burritos, nachos, tacos, etc.

Hope you guve them a try.

Feb 2026
Returning to celebrate a birthday. We arrived when they opened at 11 am, were quickly seated, and Carlos was our server. He dis really well. We ordered burritos, quesadillias, and beef enchiladas.

The food was good, and the place was quite enough to carry on a conversation.

All around good times.

July 2025
It's probably been about 6 months since I was last at this restaurant to eat. No reason for not returning sooner.

Today's occasion was family get together of about 5 of us. We arrived at around 11:20 am for lunch and were quickly seated.

Our server, Rau,l took very good care of us and was very attentive to our needs. Our drink and food orders were taken, and the food arrived within a relatively short amount of time passing. The food was very tasty.

I had the beef enchiladas, another in our group, had a beef burrito, and someone else street tacos. All enjoyed a great time and good food, and it was easy to talk.

I hope that should you take the time to visit this restaurant, that your experience is as good as mine.“

“Outstanding food, service, ambience, and...SERVICE! Jansen provided world class service and care for us on one of our very special nights out. Impeccable service and care to attention. The sherry glazed salmon was the best we ever had. We have a new favorite restaurant and service professional in San Antonio. Thank you, Jansen. We look forward to seeing you again soon.“
