Who does this? Downtown residence for 17 years. We have been going to "Cheers" Sojourn for about a year. We get an email asking us to attend a customer private catered appreciation night dinner. What! A catered meal that had so much to choose from. OMG was it good. Our neighborhood bar has now gone next level customer service, they now created a memory for the days. Thank you Team Sojourn. 17 years downtown and now establishment has done this that we hang out at! What to be part of the family? Come hang out! read more

Recommend: Yes Food: Ordered their margarita and it was the perfect amount of everything. It was so refreshing on a hot night out. Service: Fabulous! Our waiter was so nice, talkative, and made recommendations when asked. Kept tabs on us as we were sitting outside. Ambiance: looooved the ambiance. It felt like a nice cozy bar, with great musics, loved their outdoor seating area. read more

Sojourn is a lively bar in a lovely setting with a great vibe. The cocktails are innovative and the peanuts are absolutely spectacular (so much umami it almost hurts!). Great food, great cocktails, and great company - what else do you need? read more

My husband and I met up with a good friend for happy hour at Sojourn Trading. We don't go downtown too often, but we were happy to find nearby free street parking for "downtown Tuesdays". Cocktails were stellar and made with fresh ingredients. Decor made me feel like I was in a garden. I forgot to take pics of the food, but we enjoyed the bruschetta, chips & guacamole, and Cubano. Bartenders were nice and quick with service. We thought the happy hour prices were a steal for such good quality food and drinks. read more

Once again, this place does not disappoint! Ask for Colton. He knows exactly the perfect drink to make for you. He's one of the best bartenders that we have encountered. This place has a really nice vibe to it and we enjoy coming here. My go to a drink, which I have no idea what the name is, I just tell Colton to make me something with rum in it that's fruity and light and boy does he not disappoint. It is a delicious drink. read more

Sojourn Trading - The view - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

On the edge of San Pedro Creek Culture Park, across from the headquarters of Texas Public Radio, sits this cute little bar. It's got a great mix of antique restoration (high ceilings, stained glass, crystal chandeliers) and laid-back modernism (murals painted on brick walls, a long teal banquette, square blue glass water bottles). I had a pineapple daiquiri and it was delicious. The roasted fava beans were a crunchy treat. The menu is quite varied (charcuterie, bahn mi, wings, empanadas). They have special menus for lunch, brunch, and happy hour. Service was fantastic. They also do parties! read more

Absolutely love this bar! If you are looking for a very hip/vibe bar where you can have a personable experience this is where you want to be!!! The bartenders are artist! We didn't try the food, but the drinks kept us coming back for more! I could tell the bartenders love what they do!!! read more

This place is awesome and I hope they make it since right now there isn't much to attract people to this part of downtown. It was convenient for me to come here since I work nearby. I came here when it used to be Juniper Tar and it has gotten a total revamp and is adorable. I almost felt like I was somewhere more like Miami based on the ambiance. Service was fantastic. I liked that we could choose the items for the charcuterie. The Summer Watermelon salad was delicious. Oysters were good and they accommodated me by not using cilantro water on half of them since I was sharing with a friend that likes that nasty herb. I had two orders of the ceviche because I was hungry, it was delicious, and again they happily left off the cilantro oil for me. I ordered the Sojourn Raspa and I would have liked it more if it had been sweeter like the actual treat. I also had the Mai Tai and it was delicious, not overly sweet and refreshing on a hot day. I also had the Alma de Trabanco and the Agricanto Amaran Bouvery Chocolate Liqueur. Don't expect these to take the place of a sweet dessert. They are move savory and an acquired taste. I preferred the former over the latter, especially since the Agricanto had a taste that reminded me of vitamins. I would recommend visiting here before a show at the Majestic, Empire, annd Aztec theaters for food and light bites. read more

We were downtown for another engagement and before we headed back home decided to stop by Sojourn for a quick nightcap. For anyone who remembered the previous bar, which was aging and uber dark, a complete revamp in decor and vibe has occurred. They stayed true to the old bones of the space but opened up the space with a bright and fresh look. Lots of windows and mood lighting to give it an inviting and intimate (dare I say romantic) atmosphere. I felt like I was in a cool downtown bar/Cafe which is not an experience I get often in downtown SA / riverwalk.. Their cocktail menu was quite impressive, libations curated with fresh juices, homemade syrups (tiger's blood cordial?!!), and premium liquors. We had the Sojourn Raspa and the Firefly from their Signature menu. Both were fantastic and had unique flavors. The Raspa (tiger's blood cordial, Smith & Cross Jamaican rum, apple jack, lime, and coconut) was refreshing and bursting with flavor. The Firefly (amontillado sherry, ambrosia aperitivo, red wine reduction, lemon, and bubbles) was light, tasty, and the ingredients balanced perfectly together (especially the bubble effervescence). We also had a Mai Tai from their Classics menu which was fantastic as well (as simple as Mai Tais seem ingredient wise they are notoriously not made well). Now on to what made this place epic - the food! Drinks are great but the food was AWESOME. They have a decent variety of sharing dishes and small bites, we ordered a Cubano and cold cut sandwich. Holy crap were these mind blowing. All I'll say is that you need to go and try it out for yourself. We are pretty picky when it comes to Cubanos and this is probably the best Cubano I've had in Texas - it's that good (and the aioli on the side was to die for). Don't be fooled by the cold cut sandwich name it may sound simple but I was blown away by how delicious and complex the flavor profile was. Quality cuts of prosciutto, coppa, and salami with smoked goat cheese gouda (OMG!), slaw, and an olive tapenade. We took half the sandwiches to go so we could pair with our wine at home. We also got a charcuterie plate to go as well (quality cuts of meat and cheeses with honeycomb and sweetie drops). Rarely do you find places that have food and cocktails EQUALLY delicious at this level and caliber of quality. We are adding Sojourn to our must visit downtown destination list. As our official nightcap we also had the chance to try one of their aperitivo and accoutrement pairing dishes (think of it as a large amuse bouche) - Melon liqueur paired with crispy prosciutto, citrus marscapone, and mint oil. Wonderful! My only comments on challenges are parking (there is no parking so I recommend ride share) and they have a good but limited by the glass red wine list (only 3). read more

Colton & Ivan KILLED it tonight!! Great guys, amazing bartenders. We came in and found a bar with incredible cocktails.

We decided to revisit this place for the second time, primarily because of the reasonable prices we had experienced before. However, this time around, while the drinks were still enjoyable, and the bartender is amazing, we couldn't ignore the fact that the portions were disappointingly small. To our astonishment, when the bill arrived, it totaled $25 for the two drinks (as others mention). Given that this is a relatively new bar in a not-so-busy area/hole-in-the-wall (22 reviews/11 months should tell you that), we had expected more reasonable pricing, especially since during our previous visit, drinks were only $7 each. It appears they may be overestimating their worth. We have serious doubts about their ability to sustain their business with such high prices (78% markup of your drinks in less than a year? Woah there!) and as a result, we don't plan to return. read more

Precious "new" little place for the downtown lunch crowd! Finally, something a little different that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Cute decor, cane back chairs, stained glass windows, exposed brick. (Weird chain hanging from the ceiling in the women's bathroom, but it's a good conversation piece). When we walked in, we were immediately greeted and told we can choose our table. I ordered the grilled cheese, which came with a spicy dressing. It was very good. My friend got the poke bowl. It was fresh and had a nice crunch with the addition of wasabi peas. Only complaint she had was that she wasn't offered chopsticks. If you like Bad Bunny, you're in luck, because they were banging all his tunes. All in all, 10/10. Service was excellent and vibes were great. I will be back for lunch. read more

We literally stumbled upon this restaurant-- and glad we did! We came in during happy hour, and was looking at the menu and thought this was not going to pass as dinner. But I was totally wrong! We were totally stuffed. One dish that stood out to me was the Beef tartare. It was just *kiss*. One of the best I've had. Maybe it was the quality of meat? Or perfectly seasoned? The cocktails were beautiful along with the space. The flatbread was also delicious! That vinaigrette they glazed on top was amazing. Cool spot for a date. read more

This place used to be Juniper Tar a long time ago. I'm happy to see a new place using the space. I was there during happy hour and I had a great time.

We had a large group and were well taken care of. They have a great little patio and a cute interior space. Our group got everything from intricate cocktails to canned beer.

My husband and I recently moved back to San Antonio and have been on the hunt for cocktail spots around San Antonio. Sojourn is definitely a great place to sit down and enjoy a well made drink, but the food was just as good! Ambiance is great, drinks were great (Oaxaca Old Fashioned, Outlier's Poetry, Champagne Cocktail, and Alter Ego), Candace the bartender is super attentive and friendly, and the empanadas + spicy tuna hand rolls were delicious. Make this a stop on your places to eat/drink in San Antonio! We'll definitely be back read more

Sojurn Trading is an incredibly unique place!! The drinks are a hidden treasure of ingenuity & are incredible!! The food is excellent with a very simple approachable delicious menu!! The staff was incredibly accommodating & friendly!! The restaurant renovation from the previous owner changed quite a few things about the restaurant but it's feel is still of a very trendy place!! I think truly Sojurn Trading feels like a one of a kind restaurant in San Antonio!! Definitely recommend checking it out soon!! read more

So..... The cocktails, craft cocktails made with an attention to detail. It's about the taste of the cocktail, not how much booze is in it. Food..... Had the wings. Over the top tasty. Oysters. Dressed. A bit spicy but not burn your lips off. They're served with a shot of Modello beer. Flash back to the Mexican Rivera... recommended. The Cubano Sandwich was .... Well. Excellent. Jack and Al at the bar are engaging, smart, know what their doing and are well frankly..... nice guys. House vibe.... Chill. No one is in a hurry, music isn't over powering, not a big place which lends itself to a intimate atmosphere. People here are gracious, and respectful. Plenty of seating, but remember it's a small place. Some outside seating on the side walk. It's a stones throw to the main river walk, but without the crazy tourist crowds. Come here. Insider hint: ask for the basil gin giblet. It's not on the menu BUT so worth it. read more

Walked in on an early Friday evening and within an hour and half every seat was filled. The staff was attentive nonetheless and served beautifully crafted drinks and made even a cup of roasted fava beans look magazine worthy. The decor is cozy and charming and the colorway hints at a hip coastal vibe. Parking is easy with the Frost bank garage across the street and the bartender can give you a $5 code for 3 hrs. read more

Reviews are from friends. This wanna-be Los Angeles speak easy is a joke. Appreciate the back of the house, but the front doesn't do it justice as a whole. Got charged $100 for 2 beers and a cocktail because I'm not a local. If you're visiting this isn't the place to go to. Went to four brothers and had an amazing time I suggest you go there instead. read more

Excellent food and friendly service. The sous chef delivered our plates and gave great descriptions of what he was dropping off. Cocktails are super well done and yummy. The oysters were amazing and a great price at happy hour. But mostly I like the vibe of the place - feels like you're in Cuba or someplace tropical. read more

Second time here and this place is such a gem! Their menu rotates which every time can be a new experience. This time around I ordered the matcha appreciated and my oh my this drink was soo good! It taste like a matcha latte with a dash of cinnamon. This drink does have almond milk but it has a great kick! This drink is probably my favorite drink this far from this place. The service was great, I had the same waitress both times and she is very knowledgeable and friendly. This place is very good for a date night or even a catch up with friends. read more

If i could leave a thumbs down i would, this place is horrible! Service is worse! First of all, the ladies working there have attitudes and dont want to be working there like as if they hate their jobs.... second they are not making your drinks they are talking to each other and customer service is the last thing on their mind..., third it takes 20min to even get a drink! When beer was served it was warm as hell! Tried a different one it too was warm.... so This place serves warm beer, mediocre cocktails, and prices are high not worth going to this place. I would skip it! read more

Awesome food and cocktails. Great environment especially when their is live music. Great place for a date night.

This was an interesting space. I never went to it in its former incarnation but we loved the old stained glass but didn't think it quite fit with the new decor. I liked the vibe overall, the drinks were ok and charcuterie board was awesome. A little on the pricy side. Nice staff. I would go again but I wouldn't be in a rush to circle back. read more

I ate here last week when I was in town and the high reviews on the food is why I came. The 1 star is for the horrible bartender and has nothing to do with the food. The bartender, who I believe is name Adam, is the reason I would never visit this place again and would tell all my friends, especially female friends, to stay away from this place. He kept making nasty comments about females and their body. I recall him mentioning how as females get older no one will want them but as a man gets older, they can always get young females. He was bragging about how he sleeps with young girls who around 19 years old, while he appears to be in his late 30s. Having to hear these disgusting things while trying to enjoy my food ruined my entire night. No matter how good the food is, I can never step foot into an establishment that employs someone like that. read more
