San Antonio, Texas
We did a lot of urban exploring during our stay in San Antonio. The riverwalk was a fun area! Here are our top spots:
The Alamo - the area is pretty busy, but it is a well-known piece of history that is worth seeing
Durty Nelly’s - amazing piano player
On the Bend Oyster Bar - live music and nice upstairs patio
Mad Dogs British Pub - great service and live music
Waxy’s - great dinner
Rewind - fun nightlife and wonderful staff
Other places around town that we enjoyed were the Big Bang Bar, the Japanese Tea Garden, and the Pearl Brewery. Pearl Brewery was an operating brewery, but it is now a complex that houses a beautiful outdoor area, multiple restaurants, shops, weekend market, and Hotel Emma. The bar at Emma Hotel is a must see. There are booths made out of the old boilers. We loved seeing the history of the hotel and the creative effort put into the atmosphere.
