Vbar

Place is located on the second floor of the Hotel , only reason I found out about it was Yelp didn't see a sign for it outside the hotel. Hotel is very nice and upscale, had a DJ there but the place wasn't very busy. Seemed like it was mostly hotel patrons just chilling on a Saturday night grabbing a relaxed drink and cigar and maybe some bar snacks before going out, Their beer and drink selection is pretty decent, good selection of imported beers and IPA's, cigar selection was nice and ranged from about $10 to $50 a cigar. Very comfy lounge chairs and candle lit atmosphere, service was horrible though. Sat out on the balcony overlooking the street and enjoyed a cigar and some whiskey, asked the bartender for an ash tray and told me someone would bring one out, asked another one of the ladies working there and she never brought it either, so we just smoked and let the ashes build up on the cement floor of the balcony. Overall, nice for a quiet drink and cigar before going out to the club.

Really nice bar. Lot of seating an very freindly bartenders. Drink prices are compariable to waht you would pay at a similar bar. Very romantic with lots of candle lighting and pleant of couches and lounge furniture to mingle. Decor is minimalistic but still gives you a classier feel. There seems to be no real dress code obviously, but the two night we stood that the Hotel Valencia, we noticed that ladies were dressed to impress. All in all, if we ever come back to San Antonio, we'd come back.

Stayed in the Hotel Valencia for one night with my boyfriend during a short trip in December. The bar was quite the gem. The indoor seating was nice, bartenders were friendly, bar food menu looked yummy (but we had just gotten back from dinner), and drink selection was good.

We took our drinks outside, to sit on the terrace overlooking the Riverwalk -- what a great ambiance for chatting/relaxing over drinks!
