Sit at the bar and sip on a specialty cocktail. The team at Supper is great and it's a nice place for a night cap or pre-dinner drink. Sometimes it's nice to go during the day too, to ensure you get a seat at the bar. I love the Bee's Knees!

This is not technically a street market - but rather a food hall at The Pearl. I love the Ramen shop! The Pearl often puts on live events and music on the green space in front of the food hall. You can also grab a drink there!

The River Walk is famous in San Antonio - but don't just do the touristy part. Walk the entire River Walk, or at least a section of it. Starting at the house, you can walk to the access point at the Pearl and go South. Stop along one of the many bars along the way and grab a drink - it's legal to take your drink with you on your stroll. Be mindful of runners.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is the best, best, best wine bar in downtown San Antonio. I love asking the sommelier, Scott, what to drink. Tell him Ariela sent you. :) If you like wine or beer don't miss this spot - it's at The Pearl. You can also hop across the street to Cured for dinner.

Great jazz bar beneath the Bottling Dept at the Pearl. They have two showings and the earlier show is usually no cover. You can order food and drinks while there. It's worth a visit - it's a fantastic venue!
