Esquire Tavern

Opened the day after Prohibition ended in December 1933, the Esquire Tavern has been going strong – and serving its drinks even stronger – ever since. Famed for its 100-foot (30-meter) mahogany bar, the longest in the state, it also boasts an excellent selection of snacks to help soak up the house cocktails. Look out for the popular live jazz and burlesque nights – and for the famed San Antonio River Walk right outside the back door downstairs.
