Rock and Rye

Rock and Rye is an exceptional cocktail bar that really distinguishes itself in San Antonio. The bartenders possess a wealth of knowledge and create unique drinks that are bound to impress. I particularly enjoy their occasional liquor knowledge classes, where they explore the fascinating stories behind various spirits and provide samples--what a fantastic idea! If you're in search of a place to savor expertly crafted cocktails while gaining new insights, Rock and Rye is an absolute must-visit. I also appreciated the bartender's stylish attire, reminiscent of the classic speakeasy era. I hope to see more bars like this in the area!

Rock & Rye at the Rim exceeded expectations! The hummus and pretzel were the perfect pairing with our expertly crafted cocktails. Sitting at the bar elevated the experience; ideal for date night, with a front-row view of the bartenders' artistry. While the space feels expansive at first glance, the bar offers a cozy, intimate vibe that's hard to beat. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, making it an ideal spot for a Tuesday night out. Can't wait to return!

I love going to Rock and Rye. Overall, it's a nice, classy joint with great food/drink options and a calming atmosphere.SERVICE:Bouncer/security is always nice, personable, and respectful. Bartenders are similar. In all my experiences, they have been knowledgeable and always attentive, though never burdensome or pushy.DRINKS:Fantastic, eclectic arsenal of mixed drinks, beers, wines, liquors, and cigars. I am mainly into mixed drinks, so that's what I'll speak to. I've really been into the Q Cum Cocktail recently, which is vodka with dill, Serrano, lime, and cucumber. A bit unique, but right up my alley, personally. I also thoroughly enjoy the Ukraine Mule (Moscow Mule), Aviation Cocktail, and True Azul. Finally, I've had a few Chardonnays and never been dissatisfied.FOOD:I've only had the pretzel with assorted mustards, but I get it literally EVERY TIME. I love mustard as it is and this little dish (pictured below) always hits the spot.OVERALL:Fantastic bar that is relaxed and perfect for quieter evenings with friends or family.

Amazing whiskey selection with great bar setup! The whiskey sour is made to perfection here. Old fashions are also tasty if you like these drinks, you will love this place. The food isn't bad either which is always nice.

This is my second time at Rock and Rye and, it just keeps getting better and better. I came with a friend and was unsure what I wanted as it's a specialty cocktail joint that steers clear of the usual rum and coke and evolves into a work of art in the liquid form.We ended up with Alex and he asked me a few questions and quickly guessed right on point for what I was looking for. He ended up serving me a Tater Swift...(secret menu item) and it was perfect! It was a sweet potato,coffee and nutmeg creamy type concoction that made my taste buds do a backflip.They also have a great selection of mocktails for the non drinkers like my friend. My friend ended up with a Strawberry delight and was very satisfied with this refreshing concoction.All of the employees here gave top knotch friendly service, and I enjoyed the environment. The bar was spacious and chairs were comfortable. They have a beautiful selection and array of bottles going to the ceiling. I noticed some cuties and pops mingled in there like my boy Grogu (baby Yoda). This place has gone way above my expectations, and I hope to return soon to try some food items. I noticed several sandwiches that caught my eye. Rock and Rye will rock your world! Definitely give them a try.

I went there last night with a group of friends for a birthday celebration. There were 11 people total. We were able to pull a couple of tables together outside and had a great time. Three of my friends smoked cigars outside and they appeared to enjoy them very much. It was a busy Saturday night so it did take some time to get our drinks. One thing to know is that all of the alcoholic drinks on the menu have gin or whiskey in it. However they have a big mocktail menu too. This place is on the pricey side with my drink costing $20 each. But, that is to be expected when going for drinks at a classy speakeasy located at the Rim.

My husband and I came here late night on a Friday but we were able to find a table quickly. You seat yourself. The booths are served by waiters and the high tops are self-serve where you have to order from the bar. Our waitress was very nice and brought me their tacos, that they only serve after midnight, early so that I could try them. The tacos consisted of ground beef, potatoes, and cheese. It was really good. They did have a live band on the night that we went (I'm not sure if they have live entertainment everyday that they're open). The crowd seemed like it was mixed from groups of 20 year olds to seniors.

Large bar area great for drinks and plenty of seating without a crowd. Food is light snacks so not meant for food. We got food way faster than drinks so the bread got cold.However they were nice and brought out waters before my table arrived.I'd go again for just drink.

This is a place my coworkers and I go to after work for a cocktail and a pretzel. The pretzels are some of the best in town, with three dipping sauces. All spectacular. Happy hour here is so great. Every single day from 4-7 you can get what I think is the best drink on the menu (The Waterfall) for only $6. It's cilantro infused gin, with muddled cucumbers, honey, and lemon. It tastes like it's curing you as you drink it, like a romp in a blossoming garden where centaurs Rome. Hahaha. Truly the best. The servers are very knowledgeable and the bartenders are so skilled at their craft. It has an upscale tavern feel and great interior decor. The amount of whiskeys and bourbons they have is impressive!!! You can grab a cigar and take it to the patio if you'd like, as well!
