Artisan Craft Bar

Went here for a night out during the Christmas Season. We had no issue finding parking.The place was really well decorated for Christmas. I ordered a Dragon's Breath while my fiance ordered a Lemon Drop Martini. Both drinks were really delicious. The special thing about this bar is that they make their own liquor. Something to consider is that this place does not have any food options. The bartender let us know of a food truck on the street and let us know that we could eat on the porch with food from the truck. The lack of food was not an issue for us, but it is worth mentioning.This place has many events throughout the year. During the Christmas Season, the has showings of Inebriated Dickens. The also had an Alice in Wonderland cocktail experience. My fiance and I once took part in a cocktail experience at the bar where they taught us how to make three different cocktails. They also have anime nights with trivia, themed cocktails, and cosplay. I suggest this place for its great cocktails and their various events that they hold.

I returned for the postponed Tamale festival, this time it was actually raining so only two vendors were here. I had too many excellent tamales and the best Michilada in town!

One of the most amazing bars I've been to in my 60+ years of living in San Antonio. No distractions like TV monitors or games in sight. Just a classy space with a wonderful staff and ambiance! Please support this bar!

Horrible. Owner talked to me reckless in the parking lot for asking a question about parking. Guy was completely toasted and monitoring his parking lot during fiesta with a drink in his hand. He didnt have to be such a jerk. Will never come again

Although maybe not your first choice when selecting a place to go drink when you're in downtown, San Antonio, Artisan needs to be up for consideration for one of THE most Vibey places to be at. First off, let me say, the fact that this distillery creates and serves their own drinks should make you feel like trying their menu alone! Secondly, there's 3-4 different areas to mingle depending on what night you go- Why? Because they also do their own events such as anime nights every other Friday, and an affordable comedy show with up-and-coming artists. Guaranteed there is a night here that you'll enjoy- just check out their Instagram to see what events are coming up! See you there!!P.S. it's down the street from Lucky Duck and Social Spot.

Great place to catch up with friends over drinks. They have whiskey and vodka. You can shoot them straight or grab yourself a cocktail. They have a good range of martinis to choose from. They also have beer available. I had the old fashioned. It decided to keep it simple and do the traditional. It was not bad. It didn't come with the orange peel like I'm used to, but you could definitely taste the citrus. They have inside and outside seating. The night we went, they only had one bartender, so it did take a while to order and receive drinks.

Stopped in for the Tamale Festival on Sunday, December 5, 2021. Nice to see the area's new bars and restaurants that you can walk to from Alamo Beer. We got a couple dozen tamales and order Gin drinks for the ladies and guys got the straight whiskey. The gin drinks were priced at the craft drink price of $9.50, while the straight whiskey was $14. Thought the whiskey was a little high in price, so next time I'll stick with a craft cocktail. Liked the outside patio area as we sipped our drinks and ate spicy pork and been and cheese tamales.

Came for their sip and shop on Sunday. They had an amazing cucumber watermelon lemonade.The venue is very cute and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Very nice bartenders. They have tabletop games you can play which you sip on your cocktail.

My partner and I visited this bar initially to do a craft cocktail class offered there but stayed after for a few drinks. The class was at 4 pm and parking was easy at that time. Their free parking lot fits about 35 cars, other than that there is free street parking and $2 parking under the nearby bridge. The class was very organized, informational and fun. The owner himself conducted the class and taught us about how certain liquors are made, how to use different bar utensils and walked us through making three delicious craft cocktails with his house-made Vodka, Whiskey and Gin respectively. All of their alcohols were incredibly smooth and available to purchase at the bar. After a great class I had a refreshing strawberry Vodka lemonade and my partner had a whiskey cocktail with a cinnamon stick that he enjoyed. They use all fresh Ingredients in their drinks which really comes across in the flavor. The location is cozy, has indoor and outdoor seating, features bands, comedians, Anime nights and vendor nights as well. We purchased a bottle of Vodka before we left and definitely plan to come back again.

Love this place!!!Wish they would have tejano music. Best drinks !!!!Cool bartender!!!
