    Great outside bar at the Plaza - San Antonio. Lots of seating under a huge patio cover - or outside…read morein the open with TVs to watch the game. I think all the drinks come from the same bar so you we had to wait a little, but the atmosphere was nice. Great for hanging with your group! Jacob was our server this evening and took great care of us!!

    This was not the relaxing experience it is marketed as. It was actually quite frustrating. The one…read morepostive was the margarita was a good blend of flavors and strong. I needed it! Saving grace was my Premier Elite status gave me two free drinks. The service was non existent.. the waitress and the bartender looked out at me multiple times and did nothing to cover my table. 14 minutes before someone came to the table and that was only after I got up and asked if I order at the bar. Then 13 more minutes before I had a drink. 22 more minutes before I had my appetizer and 27 more minutes before she checked and gave me the bill. I let it play out cause I was not in a hurry and wanted to give her a chance to recover .. she did not. Btw .. there were only 3 other tables occupied at that time. Now as for the appetizer ... brisket burnt ends. They were quite good .. flavor of the sauce .. tender .. no fat. However, they were brisket cubes and not burnt ends. When your from TX, you know what a burnt end is! It is a beautiful location and could have been a great experience. But this is not the level an Autograph hotel is expected to be.

    The Study never fails to disappoint!…read more They have a great bourbon selection, and most are very reasonably priced! Bartenders are very knowledgeable and offer great suggestions! They don't do parties of larger than four, so it is always quaint, cozy and intimate. Great atmosphere!

    Our initial visit to this establishment presented some unique circumstances. On that occasion, the…read morevenue was exceptionally busy, and the sole bartender on duty informed us he was covering for an absent colleague. Despite the staff shortage, we placed a significant order for at least ten drinks. My husband had made a reservation for 6:00 PM. However, at approximately 7:30 PM, after we had already placed our drink order, a staff member informed my husband that our table reservation was only valid for two hours. Concerned about the impending two-hour limit and the delay in receiving our drinks, which had still not arrived by 7:45 PM, we inquired with our bartender about potentially canceling our order. He reassured us, stating that other tables were available should additional patrons arrive. Our subsequent visit, on Saturday, July 25, 2026, was solely with my husband. We arrived punctually, approximately five minutes before our 7:30 PM reservation. A female bartender directed us to a small, two-person table, despite the presence of two larger, seemingly more comfortable, unoccupied tables nearby. While initially assuming these larger tables might be reserved for a bigger party, the selection felt somewhat restrictive given the availability. Our seating unfortunately placed us adjacent to another patron who was using an additional chair to prop up her footwear, which contributed to an unpleasant atmosphere. The bartender then approached our table and asked if it was our first time, to which we replied it was not. She then asked if we knew what we wanted to order. We requested a brief moment to review the menu. However, we then waited for approximately fifteen minutes for her to return. Eventually, my husband had to actively call her over to place our order. Our initial drinks arrived after another ten to fifteen minutes. Subsequently, my husband attempted to catch the bartender's attention to order another round and request water. However, she was engaged in a lengthy conversation, estimated at ten minutes, with the neighboring patron and proceeded to walk past our table without acknowledging us. This extended period of being overlooked led to considerable frustration for my husband, who then felt compelled to approach the main bar directly to place our order and obtain water from a different bartender. It was only after this that the initial female bartender finally approached our table, asking if we needed anything. Considering the relatively small size of the establishment and the fact that there were only three occupied tables at the time, the level of inattentive and delayed service was particularly disappointing and, frankly, perplexing.
