Private History Pub Tour through the Menger & Buckhorn Saloon
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
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, personalized, historical bar tour. Imagine having an old friend who has spent their entire professional life researching their home show you around all washed down with craft cocktails.
My name is Emzy. I've been researching and guiding guests around my hometown professionally for twenty plus years. Most over them washed down with craft cocktails, it's been a blessed life. While I have had many magical moments with guests over the years, I've also spent hundreds of hours in the archives and libraries for proof of the history I share on tour. I believe that passion shows.
I invite you to join me for an evening of drinks and conversation of all things history in two of the most storied bars in Texas. Join me and Drink up the history!

5.00I guarantee there is no bar in the State of Texas that has more history than the Big Horn. If so, I’d like to see it.
Don’t hesitate! Best experience!
