San Antonio’s Newest Hangout: Bar House Opens Its Doors!
San Antonio, get ready for a fresh addition to your nightlife! Nestled in the heart of downtown, a century-old home has been creatively transformed into Bar House San Antonio. This is not just your run-of-the-mill bar; it’s designed to be a must-see destination for locals and tourists alike. Nick Marquez, the mastermind behind this project, has a grand vision that promises to elevate the social scene.
A Home with Character
Located at 820 N. Alamo St., this charming venue boasts a rich history, having been originally built in 1910. After extensive restorations, it now stretches across 10,600 square feet and has expanded from two to three stories. Marquez shared that the vibe here is going to be distinctly different from their Schertz location, creating a unique experience for those venturing into the city center.
What to Expect
Picture this: multiple bars, cozy VIP spaces, and ample seating are just a few of the features that will make Bar House a comfy gathering spot. A stunning rooftop patio invites you to take in breathtaking views of the downtown skyline, while a state-of-the-art wall of TV screens ensures you won’t miss any big game or event. Plus, a designated area for a DJ will bring even more life to the party atmosphere!
But it doesn’t end there! One of the exciting offerings at Bar House will be a food truck, making sure no one leaves hungry. “This is really a large hangout spot — a headquarters for hanging out,” said Marquez, setting an inviting tone for what to look forward to.
The Dream of Downtown
Marquez, who owns several properties in Schertz and Cibolo, has long dreamed of having a presence in downtown San Antonio. With the area experiencing a recent boom, particularly in the River North neighborhood, Bar House San Antonio is poised to be a beacon of nightlife. It will be in great company, with establishments like Lucky Duck restaurant, Bentley’s Beer Garden, and Roadmap Brewing Co. filling the area with energy.
Openings Ahead
While a grand opening is still on the horizon, Marquez is planning a soft opening during the first week of November. This will serve as an opportunity for staff training, ensuring everything runs smoothly when it officially opens to the public. So, if you’re curious to glimpse the venue in its fresh glory, keep your eyes peeled for those first few nights!
More Than Just a Bar
Marquez wants Bar House San Antonio to be more than just a nighttime hangout; it’s intended as a destination for everyone—young and old. “It’s not a beach bar. It’s not a genre bar. It’s for everyone, from 21 to 70,” he explained. The intent is clear: to offer something for everyone, and to keep visitors coming back for more.
To kick off their community spirit, Marquez is planning a Thanksgiving Eve party in the parking lot. Imagine gathering with friends, enjoying good food from the food truck, and soaking up the lively atmosphere.
Look Ahead!
Bar House San Antonio isn’t about fitting into a single category; it’s all about creating experiences and memories. Marquez’s vision is coming to life, and he’s excited to share it with the city of San Antonio. By transforming this historic home into an engaging social hub, he hopes to create lasting connections and vibrant community interactions.
So, mark your calendars and get ready to experience something new in San Antonio! Bar House is on the way, and it’s set to be an exciting addition to the downtown scene!
