Hands down one of the most unique cocktail experiences in San Antonio. The Modernist doesn't do…read moremenus and that's exactly what makes it special. You tell them the spirit you're feeling and the vibe or flavors you're in the mood for, and they craft a cocktail from scratch just for you. Every drink feels intentional, balanced, and elevated. The bartenders actually listen, ask the right questions, and then deliver something that somehow hits perfectly every time. It's not just a cocktail, it's an experience. If you're tired of the same old menu drinks and want something creative, personalized, and next level, this is the spot. Can't recommend it enough.

A little bit dark, but you get adjusted. They do have a bar inside and outside. The bartender was able to make a drink for my friend that she actually liked. I can't tell you what it was, but it was good and it had gin. I got a an old-fashioned and it was great.

I heard this was a good spot for black people so I came to check it out. Inside was packed, but…read moreit's so small it packs out pretty easily. The bar was damn near impossible to get to. There's no real 'line' and people just move into whatever space available to get to the front. Then they order, get their drinks, and just stand there blocking the rest of the people. After getting passed up twice I gave up and sat outside. Nice patio area. But they need to spray and prep for mosquitos. It wasn't a good experience. A gentleman came out and took my order- which was top notch and unexpected- but they didn't take cash. I used the atm card- and got a double leguas- and it came to$32!!!! How sway!?!?!? The ambiance was very nice- just not enough room inside. There was a dj in the living room- but their music doesn't play on the patio. It's a boombox out there playing a different playlist.

The service has consistently been exceptional, and I particularly appreciate their impressive bourbon and whiskey selection. Over the years, I've visited for everything from informal business discussions to evenings spent with close friends. The intimate lighting, softly glowing candlelight, and thoughtfully curated ambiance create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Combined with a moderate noise level that allows for comfortable conversation, it's an ideal setting for both meaningful catch-ups and professional engagements.

The menu tells a story, and all of the signature drinks are based on writings. The bartenders do more than mix drinks. each of the signature drinks are a true presentation.. if you're looking for something more than just an average bar or speakeasy. this is an amazing place. I recommend reservations because it's small but it's a wonderful experience after dinner or for a happy hour. They definitely focus on drinks, but do offer some bites.

Food - there is no food here just alcohol…read more Service - I gave it three stars because the bar staff was too busy on their phones or attending to their friends and/or regulars. So it was difficult to get a drink or their attention for another drink. Ambiance - It's a small bar, although it fits the name, it's difficult to navigate the small corridor to the bathroom. So unless you're planted at the bar with a good seat, it's best not to move because you'll be tripping on other peoples legs to get to the bathroom. But other than that, it's a very punk bar with good music and dim lights, something very chill and cozy that everyone can enjoy. I did enjoy the vibe this bar provided, and I think everyone should visit it, I hope it expands and grows because it has a lot of potential.
