Private Drunk History Tour

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 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 an evening of cocktails and conversation all things history in two of the most storied bars in Texas.

After a few minutes in Alamo Plaza we will belly up to the same bar where Teddy Roosevelt recruited many of the famed Rough Riders in 1898, drinks in hand we then explore the oldest hotel in the Texas followed with a second round at another nearby historic bar chosen on your taste.

Warm welcomes, prompt service, heavy pours, exclusive access, unparalleled research and personalized service await you on the ultimate way to truly discover San Antonio: past and present.

Emzy combines an engaging personality, passion for San Antonio history, and knowledge of excellent bars and restaurants to deliver a one-of-a-kind tour experience! It was our first event, on our first day, of our first visit to San Antonio and it set a high bar for the rest of our Thanksgiving weekend. We highly recommend the tour!

My husband and I were in town for a wedding, so we signed up for a few walking tours as we've never been in San Antonio before. Emzy was such a fantastic guide! He is so passionate and knowledgeable about the city's history. He has done so much of his own research into historical events and loves to share. We did the Straight Up tour and loved it.

Had a great time on our tour. I liked the small group which made it more personal. Emzy was very knowledgeable and well read on his craft.
