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.

Our tour was wonderful. Emzy knows his history and loves to share it. He has a great passion for showing off San Antonio and it makes for a great tour. Definitely take his tour, you won't regret it. I love asking the local tour guides for recommendations because they know their city. And the drinks are great too!

Had the amazing opportunity to spend the evening with the incredible Emzy of @thebarwalk. We had the joy of doing his drunk history tour, 7 hours later I was basically inviting him to come back to nola with us. Absolutely wonderful, if you have a night free In San Antonio don’t miss your chance to learn the history while drinking around the city.
