The Straight Up
$250 for groups up to 6
2.5 - 3 Hours
We will meet in Alamo Plaza for a discussion of all things Alamo before we head to the Menger Hotel (1859) where you’ll belly up to the same bar that Teddy Roosevelt did when he recruited Rough Riders in May of 1898. Drinks in hand we will explore the historic and reportedly haunted hotel as I share some of the hotel’s many secrets that I’ve discovered over the decades of researching San Antonio. We follow that up with a second historic bar.
The Texas Two Step
3-3.5 hours
$350 for groups up to 6
Featuring both Texas’ oldest continually operated hotel bar and saloon this route also includes admission through two museums; a Texas Ranger hall and one of the largest taxidermy collections in the world.
Not for the faint of heart we will spend much of the afternoon discussing hunting feats you truly have to see to believe, exotic and non-typical animals, Comanche and Texas Ranger tactics and Teddy Roosevelt’s very personal connection to both of our featured bars, while covering the Alamo en route. This route is a favorite!
The Nooner
2.5 -3 Hours
$250 for groups up to 6
We will begin by a walk through of Alamo Plaza and discussion all things Alamo before heading to the riverwalk for lunch at a local bistro.
We follow up our appetizer or lunch with a three block walk to the Menger Hotel for a digestif and a chance to belly up to the same bar Teddy Roosevelt did in 1898 as we visit and tour the Menger Hotel and Bar after lunch.
The Classic
5+ Hours
$550 for groups up to 6
The full and original Barwalk Tour Experience. 4 bars, often 5-6 hours.
The culmination of my 25 years of researching, living and guiding I guarantee you’ll come away with a new appreciation for San Antonio and let’s be honest, the booze helps makes these truly magical nights. Some of my absolute favorite memories have been made on the Classic route.
