The Esquire Tavern

Opened in 1933 to celebrate the end of Prohibition and has been a beloved San Antonio watering hole ever since, with a short hiatus from 2006 to 2011. Dark, cool, redolent with history, and serving cold, cold beer, swanky cocktails, and excellent food. The Esquire boasts the longest wooden bar top in Texas - over 100 feet of beer-soaked wood rubbed smooth by the elbows of a zillion tipplers.

Classic tavern food made with high-quality, fresh ingredients — simple, deftly prepared, and really, really good. We make everything from scratch — Kaiser rolls, burger buns, puff pastry, ketchup, mustard, pickles, ice cream, sherbet, soda water...just about everything but the plate!
