The Straight Up
2.5 -3 Hours / 2 Bars
$150 for groups up to 4
(+ $30 per additional guest)
My most popular route! We will meet in the lobby of the historic Menger Hotel and after brief introductions we will head off to the hotel’s famous bar. You’ll belly up to the same bar Teddy Roosevelt did in May 1898 when he recruited cowboys out of it in 1898 to become Rough Riders. After a discussion all things Teddy and bar related we will then explore the lobby of the historic and reportedly haunted hotel drinks in hand. All while you’ll enjoy exclusive personal research, photos and context.
We follow that up with a second historic bar and storytelling San Antonio centric tailored to your interests. Guaranteed to exceed your expectations! -
The Nooner
2.5 - 3 Hours / 1 Bar & lunch
$150 for groups up to 4

You’ll see the riverwalk, Alamo Plaza and the Menger Hotel in this afternoon delight! We will meet in the lobby of the historic Menger Hotel before heading off lunch at a local bistro on the riverwalk.
We follow up our appetizer or lunch with a three block walk to the Menger for a digestif and a chance to belly up to the same bar Teddy Roosevelt did in 1898. We conclude our afternoon with a private tor of the Menger. -
Texas Two Step
3.5 - 4 Hours / 2 Bars
$200 for groups up to 4( + $35 per additional guest)
My personal favorite route but not for the faint of heart, this route features a guided stroll through not only Alamo Plaza but two of the two most storied bars in Texas, The Buckhorn (1881) and Menger (1859)
The Buckhorn Saloon features a separate massive and very famed taxidermy collection which as well a Texas Ranger museum which will have us discussing Comanche and Ranger battle tactics, weapons as well as firearm development. Bonnie and Clyde and the men that hunted them down as well as Teddy Rooselvelts connection to both bars. -
The Classic
5+ Hours / 4 Bars
$300 for groups up to 4(+ $35 per additional guest)
The full and original Barwalk Tour Experience. 4 bars, often 5-6 hours.
The culmination of my 25 years of researching, living and guiding.
From the Alamo, riverwalk history, true crime, brewery history, celebrity connections, Spanish, Mexican and Republic of Texas, San Antonio’s red light district, Teddy Roosevelt’s time in San Antonio and perhaps even a ghost story or two.
This is a full evening of storytelling, libations, laughs and honestly some of my favorite memories have been made on this route.
Give the gift of good times…
The ultimate gift. A memorable night of epically good times while discovering San Antonio on your own Barwalk Tour. Your adventure awaits.
