Incredible spot for a cocktail and live music. We stopped here after dinner and ghost tour. The owner was there clearing tables and helping bar back as it was very busy. You could tell he truly cared. Stopping by tables and supporting the staff. Incredible vibe! Don't miss this gem. read more

I really wanted to like this bar. It looked cozy and inviting from the outside. We were greeted by a nice lady that talked too long, took our drink order and then everyone forgot about us. They were not busy and perhaps we should have said something but it took them 30 minutes and 2 different people to finally get our 2 drinks. The drinks were not good and considering we had plan to be somewhere when we finally got our drinks we paid the bill gulped down our not good drinks and left. This bar looks like it can be good but get better employees. If people sit at the bar they want to talk if they sit away from bar let them be. Serve the drinks and go away. The lady that kept talking to us was acting as if she ... Maybe this place will get better. read more

Yes, yes, yes. My after spot when we go to the Tobin Center. An easy walk. LOVE the professionalism and personality of the bartenders. They gave great recommendations. LOVED the flat breads and my espresso martini. Adult grilled cheese with kettle chips were perfect. Vibe is oh so nice for couples, groups, or solo like me. read more

After a very busy Sunday, my husband and I were looking for some place quiet to grab something light to eat before the busy day continued with a concert at the Majestic. We had almost given up on finding that place when we turned the corner and spotted the Rose. As soon as we went through the door we could sense we had found our place. We were welcomed with a friendly greeting and seated quickly and immediately liked the food offerings. The service was wonderful. We got the 3 meat flatbread and loved it. I had a Pinot Grigio and it was just what was needed to relax after running around so much. The Rose has some very intriguing interior decor, and definitely was the right place to grab a quick bite before heading to the Majestic. read more

This is a great bar to relax with a couple of cocktails. I remember going here on a San Antonio Spirits bar crawl so added bonus that this bar I also supposedly haunted. We went on a Tuesday night before Christmas so there were not too many people there which, at our middle age, we much prefer. I got two lemon drop hibiscus cocktails which were perfectly balanced and delicious. We stayed at the Townplace Suites which was only a few blocks away. read more

Very interesting decor. Great drink menu and delicious snacks. very friendly and efficient servers. An exceptional experience.

Today is The Rose's one year anniversary, so let's celebrate with a review. The Rose is a great bar with lots of charm. Its name pays homage to the country song, "San Antonio Rose." The dim lighting creates a romantic ambience, so it's perfect for date night but also a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy live music. Featured musical acts range from Old School Blues, Rock, Jazz, & Soul. The menu offers a nice selection of craft cocktails and artisan bites at a reasonable price. My friend and I stopped in on a Friday Night. There was a great jazz band playing called Tiny Jazz. Thy were very entertaining, and I suggest catching their next performance. We ordered cocktails and enjoyed their set. I had the Seasonal Lemon Drop, and my friend got an Old Fashioned. Both were expertly crafted and delicious. My friend and I agreed that we would love to come back here. Happy 1 year anniversary! May there be many more. *Live music Thurs/Fri/Sat 8 pm - Midnight *Happy Hour 4 - 7 pm $5 wells, wine, & select drafts. read more

I came to this location last month with my partner after diner for a cocktail. For those familiar with the area, this spot is located in the former Maddy McMurphy's Irish Sports Bar on the corner of East Houston Street. The Rose -- its name is presumably a nod to the country music classic "San Antonio Rose". The vibe inside is reminiscent of an upscale jazz lounge combined with a tapas bar. The night that I was here, the live music from the pianist who played Yacht rock and Yacht soul music (literally my favorite genre of music). I ordered a grasshopper. This drink is made with Crème de menthe, Crème de cacao and heavy cream. However, the establishment didn't have all the ingredients and did their best to make it right. While the drink wasn't exactly right, the fact that they took the time to try to do so made up for it. If in the area and looking for a late-night drink and good music with friends or for a date night, this place is not to be missed. #supportlocal read more

Add this to your best place for cocktails list. After seeing Funny Girl at the Majestic, could not go home. Crashed a wedding at the St Anthony hotel, bar closed, so continued on to the Rose. I think the manager waited on us, sweet guy. It was the end of the evening, so can't list everyone's choice. I had an old fashioned ( or 2) With the big ice cube and cherry. Perfect. Beautiful bar and big windows. At midnight we saw a poor school bus from Goose Creek ISD circle the block several times. That driver needed to come sit with us. Ha. Fun photo ops. Just a stroll from our loft. Fun end to the evening. read more

Heard about this new spot so of course we had to check it out as we walked through downtown San Antonio. I am so glad we did. Warm and inviting with a "fire" going above the bar on the big screen, you want nothing more than to cozy up to the bar as soon as you walk in. Unique seating areas perfect for photo ops and a confidence boost! The craft cocktails are described by flavor profile in a leather bound menu. We had lots of questions since the details lacked a description of the specific alcohol used in the drinks, but this is done purposely. The bartender graciously answered all of our questions. At The Rose you can trust the mixologists to carefully craft and deliver the perfect cocktail designed to your liking. I had one cocktail off the menu, reminiscent of a hot toddy-but cold. It was soothing and a perfect balance of sweet and sour. I also ordered a Boulevardier, a drink off of the menu, and that was perfect as well. Great service, delicious cocktails, and an inviting atmosphere, The Rose is definitely a spot we will return to when we are in town again. Maybe next time we can grab a bite off of their menu and listen to some live music! read more

Went for pre NYE drinks. Drinks were on point. Good seating and interior decor. Wait service was hit or miss- some attentive, some not. As the evening grew later they needed more staff than they had working. All together good experience. Will come back. read more

Met friends downtown and finally got to try The Rose in the old Ticket sports bar location. It was early afternoon so we got a table right away and since the servers were not on staff yet we had to place our order at the bar. No problem. We ordered some appetizers, the whipped feta dip and the prosciutto flat bread; I then ordered a bullet rye old fashioned. My drink came out first and it was made well and later I ordered another one. When the apps came out, they smelled delicious and tasted as good as they looked, all going well so far. As we prepare to leave and I look over the check, I notice that I was charged $15 dollars for my Old Fashioned then there was an added $4 for selecting Bulleit Rye. When I bring this to the attention of the bartender, I point to the menu which has the price of the Old Fashioned as $12.50 and also note there was no mention of a surcharge for a good rye but not one I would consider premium. The bartender goes on to say, oh, you must have been given an old menu with old prices as they were recently changed. I then ask about the surcharge and they go on to say that is customary when not using their standard. Oh, ok. Overall, I liked the food and the drinks but will think twice about going here again as the only time I've ever paid $19 for an Old Fashioned was in London and NYC. The fact they couldn't make sure all the menu pricing was accurate or inform me of upcharges prevented The Rose from getting the fifth star. If you go be sure to verify what you will be charged. read more

The Rose is hands-down our favorite bar ever. We were in San Antonio on vacation and ended up coming back night after night -- it's got that "Cheers" vibe where everyone, but mainly CJ, knows your name, and you actually want to stay and hang out. CJ is the highlight of the whole place! She's very sweet, welcoming, and somehow remembered our names every single night. Total gem -- we were so happy she was covering someone's shift and got to see her all 3 nights we were in town. Josh was very attentive, and there was this super sweet 21-year-old guy working who chatted with us like we were old friends (wish we caught his name!). Drinks were on point, appetizers were way better than you'd expect at a bar, and the live bands were a whole vibe. If you're ever in San Antonio, don't miss this place -- we'll be back every time we're in town! read more

I have walked past this place a few dozen times and decided to stop in last night. Lou was behind the bar and a solid guy, he makes a great old fashioned. Came back tonight Ximena was behind the bar. She looks like a young Natalie Portman!! She was adorable and made a couple solid Old Fashions and then made a Gin drink which Lou had recommended the night before called a "Chat Me Up". Great experience both nights. Definitely worth a visit whether you're in town for work or looking for that special date night on the Riverwalk. The Rose is definitely on a return visit list for me. read more

Fun bar great bartender. She was very knowledgeable about bourbon. Great live music Saturday night .

This place looked so nice and the reviews on yelp looked promising but our visit was anything but. They had olive music on a Thursday which was nice and it sounded good and the volume worked well in this place. However, we were there for 15 minutes before we were acknowledged by what looked the the manager changing lights on the table asking us if we'd been helped we said no amd he called out to someone to help us as soon as they could. Our server came over took our order which was 2 drinks and an appetize. Our drinks came, we were checked on to see if we needed refills quickly as if we weren't drinking enough or fast enough then we finally order a other drink still waiting for our app and I asked for a whiskey recommendation for an old fashion and the server says I don't know what you like, order we whatever. This is the type of place that looks like it has great drinks, but just went with my usual. After about 20 more minutes, we asked to close our tab but to please remove appetizer from bill, the server said he never even put it in. So if I had the appetizer I probably would have order another drink, then again I only ordered the 2nd drink because I was waiting for the appetizer. I should have gone with my gut when I first arrived at the first sign of this. All in all I had been expectations foe this place and was disappointed amd will not return. read more

Came here to say that the mixologists at this establishment are top tier! I asked if they had pistachio martinis because I saw an article about them and thought one would be pretty tasty, but they did not have them on the menu. However, the mixologist was able to create one and it was so amazing, I savored every single sip! Switched over to bubbles after but The Rose has earned their stars for sure. I wish I could review them higher :) Service was obviously great, and the atmosphere is upscale, calm, and the crowd definitely skews a bit older. All in all, fab date night :) read more

Not quite the best places I've ever been. Was some decent but will not be returning. Drink prices are way over priced in what you actually get in the slim tiny glasses. Doesn't taste like much alcohol is even in it to begin with with. $13 for a standard Long Island ice tea. And minimal pours. Yea that won't happen again at my expense. And the shots might be half the quantity of any other place. Nope not happening. Don't mind paying a little more for the same item but damn sure not when it's less ‍‍ read more

They have a kitchen open late with amazing snacks, sandwiches, and flatbreads. Everyone we interacted with was so nice and took awesome care of us. MJ, Josh, and Rob are rockstars!!
