Private Drunk History Tour: Lunch, Libations & History

Overview

Imagine meeting an old friend who is a historian and a great story teller for drink or two and having him show you around. That's exactly what your Barwalk tour will be like.

My name is Emzy. I've been guiding guests around San Antonio for over twenty years and I invite you to join me for lunch, a cocktail and an afternoon of all things history.

We will meet in the lobby of the historic Menger Hotel before a brief walk through and discussion of all things Alamo before heading to the world famous riverwalk for a lunch at a locally owned bistro. We conclude our afternoon back at the Menger Bar for a digestif and private tour of the historic hotel and bar. The Menger Hotel bar that Teddy Roosevelt bellied up to in May of 1898 and recruited many his Rough Riders after a round or two. 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.

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.

Emzy is one of the best tour guides we’ve met. His depth of knowledge and passion for his topic is captivating. Combined with his personality and great sense of humor made for a wonderful and memorable day.

Emzy was fantastic! He incorporated his knowledge of The Alamo, the Riverwalk and the history of the area into a fun and entertaining tour. We highly recommend this tour.
