    Absinthe Green Fairy
    David R.

    We came in for one drink. They have a selection of alcohols that is unsurpassed by anywhere else I have been. Since they had absinthe, I inquired about a green Fairy. They made it specially for me. Heavenly! If you want an exotic poor it can run you over $2500. Be careful what you order. We came on a Friday with a live jazz band. Service was perfect.

    Excellent craft cocktails. High-end cocktails made with top notch ingredients. This place has a large menu with sometime for everyone.

    First time I caught the live music and it was outstanding! Thought I was at The Bluenote for a New York Minute I continue to educate my palate with hot bourbons but the cocktail prowess of David , Nathan , Dominic , Dalton , Bebe , Victoria - Incredible Cucumber vodka , cocktails and a tiki will not disappoint you Don and Stephanie always the perfect hosts !! Hospitality is always top notch. Still Austin Tanager is what I had and the results were excellent!

    One of the reasons we're coming back to San Antonio! The atmosphere is wonderful. Clean bar and excellent drinks! Bibi, David, and Lance made us feel at home. Plus the whiskey sour made by David was soooo good! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    I used to bartend in dive bars--good times, but nothing like what these mixologists are doing here. The craft, the creativity, the precision... it's on another level. I've had the pleasure of meeting several of the bartenders (BB, David, Dominic, Spencer, and Jorge), and they're not only incredibly skilled but genuinely awesome people. True professionals all around. I'm still learning everyone's names, but every visit just reinforces how great this team is. I don't leave reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves one. After more than 30 years in the service industry and countless visits to restaurants and bars, it takes a lot to impress me--and this spot does it every single time. The drinks are exceptional, the service is consistently fantastic, and the knowledge behind the bar is top-tier. I highly recommend stopping in and trying their spectacular creations. You won't be disappointed.

    One of my favorite places to be and last night was the perfect crowd not to busy and not to quiet even had a live jazz band which the music was not to bad. Bartenders are quick to take your order and you're always noticed by them so you're not just standing there feeling awkward. For us older guys or ladies ask for reading lamp since the spirit and cocktail book can be pretty hard to read since the lighting can be little dim. They have just about every type of spirit your palate enjoys and can afford as well as some very expensive ones. Crowd has always been good,on weekdays it's more of mature crowd mix with little bit of young people and weekends can feel little bit of college night or hipster atmosphere but nonetheless still cool crowd. I am always take care of my bartenders by always tipping them and you be surprised they'll remember you and always give a more extra pour. Wink Wink. There's Beer on draft and selective beer bottles don't know what they are I rarely drink beer there....oh they have a outdoor patio so you can purchase cigars in the lounge and smoke in the patio or bring your own and the seating inside is really nice. See y'all there! Cheers!!!

    There's some fucking kid in this bar that makes the most unbelievable drinks, fantastic customer service, but he likes Tottenham, so that's just automatically makes the worst human on the planet, but his drinks are amazing. And the vibe here is great. Phhukk Tottenham GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED

    I asked David for a cocktail with green Chartreuse, and he absolutely nailed it. He knew exactly how to balance the flavors and created something unique and delicious. Super attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. Highly recommend!

    Service is always excellent and drinks are amazing! David did a great job with recommendations!

    Beautiful bar and great selection. Wonderful service as well.

    This is my second time at Rock and Rye and, it just keeps getting better and better. I came with a friend and was unsure what I wanted as it's a specialty cocktail joint that steers clear of the usual rum and coke and evolves into a work of art in the liquid form. We ended up with Alex and he asked me a few questions and quickly guessed right on point for what I was looking for. He ended up serving me a Tater Swift...(secret menu item) and it was perfect! It was a sweet potato,coffee and nutmeg creamy type concoction that made my taste buds do a backflip. They also have a great selection of mocktails for the non drinkers like my friend. My friend ended up with a Strawberry delight and was very satisfied with this refreshing concoction. All of the employees here gave top knotch friendly service, and I enjoyed the environment. The bar was spacious and chairs were comfortable. They have a beautiful selection and array of bottles going to the ceiling. I noticed some cuties and pops mingled in there like my boy Grogu (baby Yoda). This place has gone way above my expectations, and I hope to return soon to try some food items. I noticed several sandwiches that caught my eye. Rock and Rye will rock your world! Definitely give them a try.

    Pretzel with assorted mustards and a Q Cum Cocktail to drink
    John M.

    I love going to Rock and Rye. Overall, it's a nice, classy joint with great food/drink options and a calming atmosphere. SERVICE: Bouncer/security is always nice, personable, and respectful. Bartenders are similar. In all my experiences, they have been knowledgeable and always attentive, though never burdensome or pushy. DRINKS: Fantastic, eclectic arsenal of mixed drinks, beers, wines, liquors, and cigars. I am mainly into mixed drinks, so that's what I'll speak to. I've really been into the Q Cum Cocktail recently, which is vodka with dill, Serrano, lime, and cucumber. A bit unique, but right up my alley, personally. I also thoroughly enjoy the Ukraine Mule (Moscow Mule), Aviation Cocktail, and True Azul. Finally, I've had a few Chardonnays and never been dissatisfied. FOOD: I've only had the pretzel with assorted mustards, but I get it literally EVERY TIME. I love mustard as it is and this little dish (pictured below) always hits the spot. OVERALL: Fantastic bar that is relaxed and perfect for quieter evenings with friends or family.

    Updated review: 1/23/26 we had the privilege of being served by Laila and Caitlin. They were super…read moreattentive and patient. We ordered a pizza, fries, and the spicy Alfredo. Everything was delicious and the service was great. No complaints only happy customers. Thank you girls! Okay. This is new spot that definitely is worth waiting for. My husband and I came to celebrate my graduation (MS degree) and his belated birthday. Upon arrival the place was already quite Bucky. They told us it would be a 40 minute wait. We stayed since we figured everywhere would be busy. We waited less than thirty and were seated inside. The servers and staff and constantly checking on things and work so well together to get things out. We ordered the soho veggie (yum!), parmesan fries, jalapeño and cheese dip, and we got a free order of parm bread bites. (You receive a free app when you sign up for their rewards program.) The fries were good, but the cheese was a little heavy handed on that. The parm cheese took away from the fries that tasted so good. The pizza was beyond delicious. Everything was a perfect ratio to the bite. I'd definitely order the dip again. It was so hard to stop stuffing my face with all the yummy food. We ordered the ultra that was on draft and Ugh, so refreshing! This place is a nice spot to relax and have a couple of drinks and food. The place has so many televisions that whatever you're in the mood to watch I'm sure they have it on. Tiffany, our server, was pretty attentive. Considering the place was so busy, we were not ignored at all. I would recommend but skip the fries. An

    Used to be a big fan of this location. The visit started off great because the front staff was…read morefriendly as always, but the service from our server was rough. We waited way too long for him to come by, and every time we needed something it felt like we were waiting forever. He eventually brought the check, but then disappeared again, so we were stuck waiting even longer just to leave. What makes it more disappointing is that we brought an out-of-town guest with us, and this was their first experience here. I've had much better visits in the past, but this one was frustrating enough that we'll probably stick to the location closer to home.
