    Gosh, such a fun place, maybe we even had too much fun... Drinks are very tasty and unique, you really can't go wrong. And there are even fun options if you don't like rum! The bartender is so nice and we also had conversations with others at the bar. This spot is so fun to hang out at for a couple hours, definitely add it to your list!

    After doing the River Walk cruise and it was a great way to wind down. I ordered the Missionary Downfall. The drink was smooth, tropical, and well balanced without being overly sweet. I love the crushed ice that they use. Easy to sip and refreshing, especially after being out on the water. The atmosphere fit the tiki theme perfectly and felt relaxed without being over the top. Service was friendly and the location right on the River Walk made it an easy stop. A fun place to grab a drink and take in the vibe after a cruise or a long walk along the river.

    For those who know me and see me barely writing this, YES, it is late! ;) We went to San Antonio with a large group of friends and we try to plan events and whatnot. We had just finished a ghost tour and someone mentioned that some of our friends were meeting at this place. I am 99% it was impromptu. The place was amazing and gave us this section. We filled up all the seats and the little love tunnel or whatever that end one was. I will say, being the social butterfly that I am, I was visiting with everyone and EVERYONE was enjoyng themselves. What is it about a tiki place that makes everyone so happy. You just cannnot be sad at a tiki place. I was happy that one of our firends found this plce and truly enjoyed myself. Great drinks and the staff was fantastic! Thank you for being so great!

    What a fun place to grab a cocktail and an appetizer!! We were able to sit overlooking the river and were greeted immediately by Kiara who was so sweet & pleasant!! We ordered the coconut shrimp (delicious) and we each had the Painkiller. The drinks were delivered in tropical glasses and didn't disappoint!! We really enjoyed our time here!!

    We were barhopping along the Riverwalk and came into this tiki oasis. Set up like a Tiki speakeasy. This location is small, but comes with a lot of theming and a cute tropical vibe. There is very limited seating, but we were fortunate enough to be able to grab a spot outside overlooking the river walk. I will say inside definitely has a smell to it. Perhaps the drains haven't been cleaned as much as they need - but a smell lingers in the air. I had the Saint Lucius fashioned and it was OK. My husband got the eight year Appleton's rum with some Coke and it basically tasted like water. So the quality of the drinks is questionable.

    Hugman's is probably one of my go to spots when I'm bar hopping downtown or have out of town friends to show around. Such a cute little tiki bar that immediately takes you to another place when you walk in. It's right on the riverwalk and has seating inside and outside available. They have the cutest tiki drinks and are all hand crafted and made to order. Most come in picture worthy tiki cups and I've even ordered one that came with fire! It's worth noting that the bathrooms are always clean and beautiful decorated. Definitely a regular in my rotation!

    We live in San Antonio and we wanted to go see the holiday lights on the river walk. As we were walking on the river walk we ran across Hugman's Oasis tiki bar so decided to check it out. The inside is not too big so our group sat in the outside area. Beautiful tiki bar inside and out. Super fun holiday drinks. We all got a different drink from the holiday menu and everyone enjoyed their drink.

    VERY AWESOME PLACE! Though small, the place offers a very nice vibe. We were in San Antonio during the coldest week this year and this place was a nice slice of oasis. I can just imagine the patio on a busy day, located at an intersection of the river. Lots of people watching and some great beverages! Come visit!

    This place is fun to just be at. The decor makes a really cool ambiance. The drinks are delicious. They also have food which ive ordered a couple things and they did not disappoint. The bartenders are nice and they make good recommendations for any drinks you might want to try.

    Such a fun spot on the river. Loved the tiki vibes and the Texas Sun was my favorite drink in San Antonio! Don't skip on the fries, they were the perfect snack.

    While on vacation this week we found this gem on Yelp. We love a good tiki bar and Hugmans was great. Our waitstaff and bartender was helpful. We got the chicken appetizer and it was large & delicious. We may go back before we go home.

    Well, the first thing I look up in a city I'm traveling to for work is the local tiki bar! Hugman's Oasis did NOT disappoint. I dragged my team along with me, and nobody was complaining - we had a fabulous time. Cocktails were flawless, and you truly cannot beat an interior by Bamboo Ben. See ya next year, San Antonio!

Light dish. Tc double cheese burger: very strong flavors, somewhat sweet. Dense/heavy dish . Our waiter was quick and friendly. The restaurant lighting was dimmed and gave a more intimate /bar environment. I think the ac was broken here because it was very warm and they had fans going on around the room. I think this place would be good for someone who is prefers an American fusion cuisine that leans heavily on the western style dishes. The fusion elements were cute but I still left unsatisfied but still full. We did not park. We walked here right from the river walk. Not a bad place to go if you arrive in town after 9 pm.

For her second drink, she told the bartender to surprise her. He gave her a look and asked more than once if she was sure she wanted him to surprise her. Instead of making her an actual cocktail, he poured her what seemed to be a straight, extremely bitter liqueur. The whole interaction felt sarcastic and like he was intentionally messing with her rather than trying to make her something she would enjoy. What bothered me most was the attitude behind it. We weren't being rude, demanding, or causing problems. We were there to have a good time and experience the whole "tell us what you like and we'll make you something" concept. I did call the number listed for the business afterward trying to speak to someone about it. The person who answered said I had the wrong number and didn't know what I was talking about. I got angry during that call and said some things I shouldn't have, and I can admit that. But that doesn't change how disappointing the experience at the bar was. We expected a creative and welcoming experience and instead left feeling like my wife had been mocked. I hope management sees this and addresses it, because the concept of the place is great, but the way we were treated completely ruined it for us

There is an outdoor seating area as well with views of downtown. We sat outside, so to order food you have to go to the inside bar. I ordered a mojito, veggie tacos, and the shrimp and artichoke dip. Found seating outside and vibed to the live DJ playing latin music. Food took awhile to come out but we weren't in a rush. The tacos weren't anything to write home about and could've used some spice. The chips served with the dip were crispy and light and yummy. The dip had a decent amount of shrimp and I enjoyed it. The ambiance is giving upscale lounge but the fact that there is no table service outside, it feels like a basic bar. Im not sure if there is table service inside. The DJ really set the vibe for the place. Im not sure if I wouldve enjoyed myself had the DJ not been there.

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.

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)
