    Very chill bar with more of a Speakeasy atmosphere. Amazing craft cocktails made by very talented mixologists. The go to spot for pre/post theatre performances.

    After dropping off my fiancé at The St. Anthony Hotel, I decided to explore a bit of San Antonio on foot. Just a block away, I stumbled upon a sign that read "The Bunker" with the magic words "Happy Hour." Intrigued, I followed the stairs down and found myself standing in front of an open safe--how could I not check this out? At 5 pm on a Friday, I walked into an empty bar, which was oddly peaceful. As I tried to figure out what to order, I missed my surroundings at first. But after my wine (which may have had a little too much "yesterday" in it), I looked around and noticed the walls were covered in art prints of some of my favorite artists--Klimt, Picasso, Da Vinci, Munch, Goya, and Pollock. Talk about a pleasant surprise! I was told the place transforms into a busy nightlife spot with a DJ, house music, and laser lights later in the evening, but for me, the calm vibe and artistic atmosphere were perfect. I quickly texted my fiancé in case the girls were looking for a spot to hang out later. While the wine wasn't exactly top-shelf, the ambiance made up for it, and I'll definitely be back to see The Bunker in full swing. Who knows, maybe next time I'll stick around and dance.

    Wow, wow, wow! The Bunker Mixology is 100% the best new mixology bar in San Antonio. The Bunker Mixology is located in the heart of downtown right across from the Majestic Theatre. This space has been used for many different things throughout the years, but The Bunker Mixology has transformed it into a whole experience. The whole vibe of the place is very "The Da Vinci Code" type of vibe. It makes you feel like you are part of this little secret and don't know what else is around the corner. The space is surrounded by classic paintings which are also the names of their cocktails. The red light all around the place definitely gives it this unique and fun play to the experience. I am not one to go to clubs anymore, however I really enjoyed their live DJ which brings that club feeling but with a more refined feel. Every cocktail they prepare is truly a work of art. Please don't miss out on the experience of watching the mixologist make your cocktail because it will make you appreciate every sip even more. For the evening my mixologist was Yolanda, and she was not only super knowledgeable about the entire menu, she was also super nice to talk to. If you are looking for something off the menu, make sure to ask because they have full bars and are ready to prepare anything you'd like. Can't wait to come back and try another delicious cocktail!

    This is the place for art and cocktail enthusiasts! If you can navigate your way to the art bunker you'll be treated to high class spirits and hidden art gems. The drinks are inspired by art and the vibe is both modern in the back NFT gallery bar, guarded by red entrapment style lights by the DJ booth, and luxurious in the front main bar. You'll be treated to great service and friendly bartenders who make a show out of creating the cocktails. They have the menu divided into two eras which show the art inspired cocktails and their ingredients. There is also a superb masterpiece list where you can find very high end spirits that can be enjoyed as if you were the first to open the bottle. The have a unique fridge for this behind the main bar which is incredible! The Jackson Pollock Number 5 was really great, had the candy placed as if it was the yellow color on the painting itself! The blackberry and everything about it was really nice. The Card Players is a unique one and they use the torch to light the cinnamon stick...I kid you not you can smoke the cinnamon stick! It was great drink for a ginger tasting cocktail and it was one of my favorites that I will be going back for! Enjoy your trip down to the bunker where you are sure to paint the town!

    The Salvatori Mundi Cocktail

    The Bunker Mixology is a very cool and interesting spot downtown for cocktails. It's the perfect place to grab drinks before or after a show. They definitely have some unique cocktails. I tried three of them and they were all very good. The pictures of the cocktails I tried have the names of them. The Salvatori Mundi was my favorite of the three. It had a grape soda like flavor in a good way. The only negative thing about the place is the very small print on the menu. They need to make the font a lot bigger because it's very hard to read what is in the cocktails. The vibe of the place was great and very fun. The mixologists were talented and very friendly. The place was renovated since it was Jet Setter for the better. It's a more modern design and a lot more space inside. This place is going to be considered as one of the best places downtown to get cocktails when the word gets out. Make sure that you stop by The Bunker Mixologist the next time you're enjoying a good night downtown.

    The concept it very cool. Dark lighting. Very small space. If you want to sit, I'd suggest a small party and getting there earlier in the night. The drinks were awesome to look at, but truly nothing special. Best part was the lit hallway to the restrooms.

    Drinks are amazing as expected with a Mixology drinks are a bit pricey. Good music options. At time the place can get too packed.

    Really neat place!! The bartenders were awesome and contributed to our great experience- I believe ours was named Xavier. Not sure what drink I had but it was delicious and had a bubble on top- entertaining to watch them make it. Bathrooms on site. Perfect space- wasn't too big or small and is well decorated.

    I really enjoy this space and have been here before it was called bunker. We loved the new Art twist and keeping the vintage photos in the restrooms. The restrooms have always been a little creepy as they are way back down a dark hall but adding the led strip lights helps make it less of a scary dark tunnel experience, unless you're into that sort of thing. The DJ made the mood fun and the bartender was friendly and great at crafting some very unique cocktails. We came in a date but are excited to return with some friends to all enjoy the good vibes.

    This was a pretty cool place. We went on a Saturday evening after a show at the majestic and it was popping. People were dressed to impress! The drink menu was fun and unique with lots of fancy cocktails.There was a DJ, lots of flashing lights, and it was pretty loud in there. The red strobe lights illuminating the way to the bathroom was one of my favorite things. Overall, it felt a little flashy and loud for me, but I am glad I got to scope out the place.

    The vibes here first of all are fabulous. The drinks are even better, and the bartenders are out of this world. Treat yourself to a laid back atmosphere and enjoy a delicious drink.

    Dope spot for a craft cocktail. Hidden down the stairs in a speakeasy vibe type bar. Cocktails were delish!

    Amazing mixology. Cool vibes. A little dark. The trip to the bathroom was interesting with randomly blinking lights.

    Daniel is AMAZING! thanks for the help and making me laugh!!! Love the atmosphere/vibe.read more

    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.)
