We don’t know about you, but when we turn 88, we’re going to follow The Esquire Tavern’s lead and celebrate with half-naked ladies, jazz and booze.
That’s right, the River Walk staple will celebrate nearly a century in business Sunday with live music by the Dirty River Jazz Band and a performance by Stars and Garters Burlesque.
The storied Tavern’s birthday falls on the anniversary of Prohibition’s repeal, Dec. 5. Back in 1933, patrons bellied up to the 109-foot-long bar minutes after the law banning the production and sale of alcoholic drinks was lifted.
The party will take place Sunday, Dec. 5 from 6-9 p.m. The bar will offer “throwback cocktail specials” to celebrate its birthday.
So many restaurants, so little time. Find out the latest San Antonio dining news with our Flavor Friday Newsletter.
