Liberty Bar

Came in on a Thursday and it is 1/2 off margaritas all day which was legit.

We shared a chicken salad sandwich and they split it into two plates which was totally appreciated.

Service was on point and happy hour is 3-5pm.

Have been coming to liberty for years and am never disappointed!! We visited on a Thursday evening for happy hour (plus HALF off margs!!) and it was amazing; the food, service, and overall experience!

Ordered a house marg and it was delicious! Not too sweet. The lamb burger was juicy and rich and had many condiments on the side. The fries were crispy and well seasoned! The chapter 2 pizza was sooo tasty with goat cheese, arugula, mushrooms, and parmesean. Chocolate cake was rich and not too sweet!! Apparently the recipe is over 100 years old!

Service was fantastic! Out waiter was attentive and welcoming! The restaurant has upstairs, downstairs, and outdoor seating. There's bookshelves and other homey items that gives the place a casual and cozy feel! Rustic feel too.

Parking can be hard; there's a lot next to it but the covered spots are for the apartment complex. There is street parking across the street though!

Seeking comfort food and going through my mental rolodex, I recalled an old favorite that I hadn't visited in a while so off to Liberty Bar I go. With all the downtown road construction I had to take a few detours so plan accordingly.
For first time patrons, if you enter in through the front entrance there is a large staircase you will have to take to get to the upstairs' tables/bar but on the side of the building there is a ground level elevator that you can take to the second floor. It will open to the upstairs bar where you can enjoy a drink or head the hostess stand and check-in.
After being seated, I review the menu and decide to start off with a Rye Old Fashion (and they ask you what Rye to use and show you what they have in stock), house made breadbasket, and the meatballs. For my main course, I order the Fettuccini Alfredo w/shrimp added.
My drink and the appetizers came out quickly so let's go. My Old Fashion was well-made with the correct amount of bitters and simple syrup along with an orange rind, luxardo cherry and large rock. Perfect!
The meatball appetizer consisted of four pork-based balls that were served in a light marinara sauce. There were cooked well but the marinara could have used more seasoning to give it kick. The breadbasket consisted of their house made sourdough that was slightly toasted/charred on the grill that came with rosemary butter. The butter was a nice touch and the bread was nicely toasted.
Lastly, I decide to have dessert and go and old favorite, their buttermilk chess pie w/Mexican chocolate ice cream. I don't normally order buttermilk pie but I have tried theirs's before and it's a winner. It has a nice custurdy texture that is delicious and the Mexican chocolate ice cream just took it over the top. Well played LB!
Overall, I don't know why it took so long for me to come back but I'll be back soon to catch up on some old favorites and new features, you should too!

Poor service, extremely long wait just to get our drinks and even longer to take order and get food.
Food is overpriced undercooked

"Liberty Bar in San Antonio offers an incredible experience. Jabier's exceptional service elevated our visit. Can't wait to return for more!"

I haven't been to Liberty Bar since they moved to this location many years ago. The restaurant is located in a former convent, so it definitely has a unique atmosphere. Whether you are out for a casual meal with friends, or looking for a unique date night, this is the place for you.

We had the falafel pita and the grilled portobello sandwich.

The falafel pita, was just so-so. The falafel was a bit dry and was kind of on the bland side. However, the hummus and tabbouleh were both delicious.

The portobello sandwich was amazing, and my mouth is watering now as I write this! The mushroom was grilled to perfection, and the toppings were all fresh and flavorful. The sauerkraut added a nice tangy touch, and the gruyere cheese was melted perfectly. I also had the potato salad, which was also great. It was creamy and flavorful, and it was the perfect side dish for the sandwich.

Good food, great atmosphere, and great service.

Javier was great and very patient with our indecisiveness! Great food, old fashions, ambience and service!!!

Interesting place with a lot of history. In town for the Demo Show so a group of 5 needed food. The Liberty Bar was close to our hotel so opted for it. Service was good and attentive. The history of the place was amazing. Beers on tap were limited and no Stout or dark beers. (It is March and there is a significant dark beer drinking holiday coming up.)a couple of us had the Salmon which was very tasty. The green pesto style sauce was great. One had the margarita pizza and it was rated as OK. One had the chicken which he stated was great and one had the pasta which he said tasted good but the sauce was too thin. Overall a great experience and if in the area again will come back.

Popped in for a margarita on a early Friday afternoon. Cute spot - vintage chic vibe with a great bar and decent table seating area. I was quickly greeted and served - the margarita was great! Not too sweet and just strong enough. I didn't end up getting food but the dishes that did come out looked great! Would definitely recommend, especially if you're in the neighborhood already!

What a cute spot! I've passed by this pink house on the corner several times, but never got around to trying it until recently. For some reason, I always assumed they just had drinks but they are a full-blown restaurant and bar. And the menu is extensive!

We started with the meatball appetizer, and... these were maybe some of the best meatballs I've had. It was served in tomato sauce with toast and it was gone within minutes. The homemade fettuccine caught my eye, and I tried the Alfredo sauce and added shrimp. It was tasty and the shrimp were nice and big as well.

For us, the drinks were a little hit or miss. We had a couple of beers on draft which were fine, but they weren't very cold. A friend ordered a Moscow mule and it was served in a glass and not a copper mug. However, I tried a cocktail called the Tango, and it was really good! It was a grapefruit & rosemary drink with tequila and aperol. Next time I come, I'd like to catch the happy hour and try some more appetizers on the menu as well.
