Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 21, meaning the time to make plans for spoiling the dad in your life is ticking down.
Good thing San Antonio dining spots are offering everything from grilling classes and spa specials to decadent brunches and deeply discounted Old Fashioneds to make the day special.
Cavalier
The InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk’s signature restaurant has dad’s favorite things to eat and drink on special throughout Father’s Day weekend — and by that we mean steak and potatoes along with $1 Old Fashioneds. Reservations are available online. 111 E. Pecan St., (726) 238-4660, cavaliersanantonio.com.
Refuge Coffee + Beer Garden
Looking for something different for the dad who’s seen it all? Sign him up for goat cuddles at Refuge Coffee + Beer Garden. Each ticket gets you one free coffee or a beer plus guaranteed cuteness from onsite goats. 11011 Shaenfield Road, refugecoffeeandbeer.com.
Omni La Mansion del Rio
Omni La Mansion del Rio’s signature restaurant Four Brothers has a special for hands-on dads: Executive Chef Robert Cantu will offer an immersive grilling workshop. Taking place on Father’s Day from noon to 2 p.m., the experience will feature a demonstration where dads can cook decadent cuts such as a reverse-seared Picanha while enjoying handcrafted Garrison Brothers cocktails and more. The experience includes two ticket tiers, and guests who purchase the $250 grill master package get to take home an Even Embers portable charcoal grill. 112 College St., (210) 518-1000, eventbrite.com.
Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar
This La Cantera spot has a Father’s Day brunch that leans into its coastal theme. Available only on Father’s Day weekend, the limited-time menu includes highlights such as Kurobuta pork katsu with peach tonkatsu sauce and the Loco Moco, consisting of veggie fried rice with pecanwood bacon and roasted mushrooms. 15900 La Cantera Parkway, (210) 587-3660, tommybahama.com.
Roca & Martillo
Enjoy buckets of beer deals and a $45 slow-roasted prime rib special with Dad at Roca & Martillo on Father’s Day. The concept by chef Jason Dady is situated in the heart of the Rock at La Cantera, which also will host a Father’s Day Fairway Party. That means Dad can eat, then enjoy the U.S. Open afterward. 1 Spurs Way, (726) 224-2927, rocaandmartillo.com.
Hotel Contessa
For the dad in need of a self-care day, the Hotel Contessa has one-hour spa windows where dads can try out 10- to 15-minute mini-treatments on Sunday. Afterwards, take dad to the Hotel Contessa pool for a curated poolside beer tasting experience from 4-5 p.m. 306 W. Market St., (210) 229-9222, eventbrite.com.
Burger Showdown at Pearl
If Dad is into friendly competition, here’s an option: take him to the Pearl Farmer’s Market, then head over to the Burger Showdown, where local chefs vie for the title of Best Burger in San Antonio. Even more fun? Each ticket gets the holder three votes plus unlimited burger samples from participating contestants. 303 Pearl Parkway, events.atpearl.com.
