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.
