    Kurobuta Pork Burger
    Melinda N.

    Ordered the Kurobuta pork burger which was tasty. The blueberry jam was interesting. Service was great. I liked that you can pay separately. Ambiance is what you would expect in a sports bar

    We were looking for a late night drinks option after an event and loved the location and late hours of Yard House. It was physically connected by a bridge to our hotel in the Rivercenter - Riverwalk. Super convenient that no one had to take a Lyft or drive home. I had wings and fries and a margarita. It was ok. Service was good. It served its purpose for a late night meetup that we were looking for.

    Went to Yard House with a group of six to watch the World Cup Final, and despite the crowd, we were seated right away. It was a great spot to catch the game with plenty of TVs and an energetic atmosphere. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries, and they were exactly what I was hoping for--a solid, well-cooked burger with crispy fries and no complaints. It wasn't anything particularly memorable, but it was satisfying and hit the spot. My friends burger came out rare vs medium like she ordered, the waiter said he can have them remake it but she had declined since we were all finishing up. The manager came by to check in and ended up comping her meal. Overall, the service was amazing, the food was good, and the experience was enjoyable. If you're looking for a reliable sports bar with a lively atmosphere, Yard House is a great choice.

    Came here after checking out the Riverwalk cruise which launches from below because it was kinda late and the restaurants were closed and my niece what starving. We came in and they were able to seat us easily. I got chicken wings and she got noodles. Nothing was stellar, but it was fine. I feel like this place is more fun with your friends than your teenage niece, because everyone else, from groups of businessmen to fiend groups seemed to be having a blast, while the two of us were just staring at each other. I've been to a Yard House before and if you've been to one, you've b even to them all and you. Know the decor is clean, dark, and fancy. Corporate clean is how I'd describe it.

    I normally don't visit chains while travelling, but I was pretty impressed with this Yard House location. The portions were great, the food was great and the service was also on point for our large group. They had a lavender cocktail that was also pretty good.

    Lobster garlic noodles were the best! Worth the price. Service was great and we went for lunch during the week so it wasn't too busy!

    Came in to eat as a family of 8 with my son who recently graduated from Air Force basic training. Sarah our server was very friendly, she also gave my son a surprise congrats cake without asking! Such a sweet gesture to end our first time eating here! Thank you for your kindness!

    I came to San Antonio for a conference and stayed at a hotel conveniently located next to the Yard House, which is why I decided to have dinner there on my first night. It was very convenient after a long travel day. Since it was a Saturday night, the restaurant was quite crowded. As I was dining alone, I opted to sit at the bar to avoid the wait and I'm glad I did. My meal was excellent; the salmon was especially delicious and cooked perfectly. The bar attendant was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made the experience feel very welcoming. Overall, I was genuinely impressed by this location. The LA franchises could definitely learn from the level of service and hospitality here.

    Stopping here to eat!

    We were in town for Foursquare Connect 2026 and ended up eating here twice. The first visit was for dinner, and I ordered the burger. It was really good--juicy, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. The only downside was that it took about 30 minutes for our food to arrive, and we were seated right next to the bar during a Spurs game. Let's just say my wife and I learned to communicate through lip reading and interpretive gestures because we couldn't hear each other over the crowd! Our second visit was for lunch, and my wife and I split a sandwich, which was also very good. What really stood out this time was our server. She was outstanding--friendly, attentive, cheerful, and on top of everything we needed. Great service always makes a meal even better, and she absolutely delivered. Overall, we had a good experience both times. The food was solid, the service on our second visit was excellent, and we'd definitely come back. Just one suggestion: if it's game day and you're hoping for a quiet conversation, ask to sit away from the bar...unless, of course, you enjoy shouting sweet nothings across the table!

    visited the Yard House last month during March Madness. It was located across the street from my hotel so that a huge plus. I did not want to have to deal with an uber. The Riverwalk was to packed with tourists. I sat at the bar as i wanted to watch March Madness. The guests I was seated next to were nice enough to let me change the channel to see basketball game I wanted to see so that was a plus. The music playing was great upbeat classic rock. The entrance to the restaurant is one floor up from the street on Commerce. Maddy was very pleasant and provided service with a smile. She was very attentive to all customers. I ordered the garlic shiitake noodles and crispy Brussels sprouts along with a tall double captain and Coke Zero. Everything was great. Before a concert I wanted something that wouldn't mess with my sensitive stomach. I enjoyed my experience so much that I returned the following day and ordered the exact same thing. Enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

    Stopped by Yard House and had a really solid experience. They have a long list of vegetarian options. The Gardein menu can be found online or ask waiters and they have it on their device. I tried the Gardein Orange Chicken along with their pretzel, and both were seriously good. The orange chicken had great flavor with just the right amount of sweetness and kick, and the pretzel was warm, soft, and perfect for sharing. Service was attentive, the atmosphere was lively, and everything came out just right. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    chicken-avocade sandwich and fries
    Timmy S.

    Tired and hungry, we decided to have dinner across the street from our hotel at YardHouse at the Shops at Rivercenter. I hadn't been to a YardHouse for years and wasn't expecting much, so I ended up being pleasantly surprised. It was a weekday evening and we were immediately seated even though, to my eye, it seemed pretty busy. Our waiter was amiable and semi-attentive (meaning right when we would start to think "where is he?" he'd suddenly appear). I ordered a chicken-avocado sandwich and my wife ordered the Two Pepper Jack Burger. I got regular fries with my order and she upgraded to sweet potato fries. Her burger consisted of a thick beefy patty, roasted jalapeño & poblano peppers, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle ranch. My sandwich consisted of a hunk of grilled chicken with a cumin & chili rub, avocado, Swiss cheese, roasted tomatoes, arugula, and lemon-basil aioli on a toasted brioche bun. We decided to cut our sandwiches in half and share. The chicken sandwich was exceptional. The flavors burst in my mouth. One of the better chicken sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure to consume. The burger was also excellent, thick, tender, and juicy. While she thought the heat was minimal it made my eyes water...but I can barely handle even a tiny bit of heat. Still, I thought it was undeniably delicious. Our fries were also great, as was the sweet tea I ordered. As mentioned, I left with a smile on my face and a very happy tummy.

    One of our go-to dinner spots downtown! We love that we usually don't have to wait long for a table, which is always a plus. The drinks are consistently ice cold, and the cocktails definitely pack a punch. The garlic noodles are an absolute must every time--we never skip them. My husband always gravitates toward the fish and chips, which never disappoints. On this visit, I decided to try the calamari and... yum! Definitely adding that to my list of favorites. Always a solid choice for a great, reliable dinner downtown.

    Do you do reserved areas for parties of 50-75?

    I'm not sure for parties that large but, they do have an area that may accommodate you. I would just give them a call. The customer service was great!

    I'm still trying to find a place that my 22 mo son can eat at. We're vegetarian, no alliums (onion and garlic family), no peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, eggs, avocado and kiwi. Can he eat anything here that isn't plain rice or a piece of lettuce?

    Do you take reservations?

    Hey Janet! We don't take reservations. You can always call to see if we have our wait list available. Here's the number: (210) 354-3844

    What time do they stop serving food?

    Hey Lily! Sunday - Thursday our food last call is 12:30AM. Friday and Saturday it is 1AM.

    What is the parking situation? Parking lot? Parking garage? Is it in a mall?

    It's right outsize the big shopping center. Free parking is probably a no go but there is a parking garage next door. Although, it is right by the river walk, so park anywhere close by and enjoy the scene

    How late do they serve food?

    12:30 AM weekdays and 1 AM weekends

    After class, I had the bright idea to go grab a cocktail. It was an excellent class--the teacher…read moreand I put on a therapeutic show. So I went to Bar 1919 in Southtown, a tucked-away speakeasy-style bar. I'd heard it could be difficult to find, and that mystery is part of the charm. Once I stepped inside, I was struck by how polished and inviting it felt: low amber lighting, dark wood, intimate seating, and a quiet hum of conversation that made the room feel removed from the rest of the city. The atmosphere was elegant without feeling stiff. The dim light glowed against the bar, and the cozy layout made it easy to settle in. There was something satisfying about searching for the entrance and then emerging into such a carefully designed space. [NAME] took care of me, and the service was warm and attentive. I was there by myself, but I never felt awkward sitting alone. The bartender checked in without hovering and made the experience feel relaxed from beginning to end. He also made me a from-scratch cocktail. [COCKTAIL NAME/INGREDIENTS] The drink was beautifully balanced, with [YOUR WORDS ABOUT THE TASTE/QUALITY OF THE DRINK]. The aroma rose from the glass before the first sip, and the flavors unfolded gradually rather than overwhelming one another. It tasted fresh, deliberate, and carefully prepared. I also had [FOOD], and [YOUR WORDS ABOUT THE FOOD]. The dish arrived [DESCRIBE PRESENTATION OR TEMPERATURE], with [DESCRIBE TEXTURE, AROMA, OR FLAVOR]. Each bite added another layer to the experience, and it paired especially well with the cocktail. Bar 1919 was exactly what I needed that night: a small escape with thoughtful service, a handcrafted drink, and satisfying food. The hidden entrance gives it a sense of discovery, while the intimate setting makes it easy to linger. Excellent idea.

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.

    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.)
