Private Drunk History Tour: Lunch, Libations & History

Overview

There are a multitude of walking and ghost tours to choose from in San Antonio. Most of which are led by costumed guides, reciting scripts while herding 30 people like so many cattle through ubiquitous franchises.

I offer an alternative. A boutique, historical bar centric lunch tour.

My name is Emzy. I've been sharing my hometown with guests for over twenty years and I invite you to join me for lunch.

We will meet at the word famous Alamo for a brief explanation of the battle then head to an award winning, locally owned bistro on the riverwalk for lunch before heading to the storied Menger Bar for a digestif at the same bar that Teddy and his Rough Riders imbibed. Drink in hand we will then explore the oldest hotel west of the Mississippi and discover it's many secrets including the history behind why it is reportedly the most haunted hotel in Texas.

Food and drink not included.

This was my wife and I second trip with Emzy. We came in 2014-2015 and then now, October 2022. We a great experience both times. Emzy knows his San Antonio history!!!! You will visit the most prominent bars in the area, after all, that’s where famous people hang out right? You will hear stories that are really cool and then the photos to back it up. If you truly like history then this tour is for you. Thanks again Emzy!!

Emzy was so knowledgeable and knew so much history about San Antonio, whether it be music, architecture or just stories that “no one knows”. My husband, daughter (early 20s) and I all enjoyed spending time with Emzy on this “private” tour. He made it so comfortable and customized the tour to our interests. His ability to pull pictures up on his tablet to enhance his stories was amazing. Highly recommended!!!

Very knowledgeable and we loved the history. Great info with research into fact finding. Told us to visit SoHo Bar and Winery to get a taste of San Antonio. Took a LYFT there and there was a sign that said they were closed for business.
