Bartenders are incredible. Drinks are always 10/10. And the vibes are 🤌🏽 I tell the mixologists what flavors and type of alcohol I want in my drink, and like wizards they create the most magical drinks. San Antonio native and this is my favorite bar, hands down.

Wow they really know how to make a drink and ask questions to really get a feel of what you like. Loved the experience. I wanted something with eggnog and it was sooooo good. The color drink I just told them I wanted something sweet, with foam and tequila. 🩷💕

Hands down one of the most unique cocktail experiences in San Antonio. The Modernist doesn’t do menus 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.

This speakeasy is abfab. It's one of San Antonios best kept secrets. They are custom bespoke cocktail bar. It's low key and lovely. Check them.out but don't tell everyone! 🤣 Really great pisco sours and old fashions. Ask for Adan
