Somewhere to carry on the conversation after dinner: good drinks, room to talk, and no nightclub noise.
155 E Commerce St, River Walk · about 14 min walk from the convention center
The oldest bar on the River Walk, open since 1933, with a 100-plus-foot oak bar and a river balcony. Downstairs is a smaller riverside lounge that suits a quiet nightcap with clients.
Menger Hotel, 204 Alamo Plaza · about 8 min walk from the convention center
A dark, wood-panelled bar from 1887, modelled on the House of Lords pub in London, where Theodore Roosevelt recruited Rough Riders. Most of the original furnishings are still in place, which makes for an easy nightcap with clients.
Thompson San Antonio, 115 Lexington Ave (20th floor), downtown · about 20 min walk from the convention center
An indoor-outdoor rooftop lounge on the 20th floor of the Thompson hotel, with views over the whole city. San Antonio Current readers voted it the city's best rooftop bar in 2026.
