Gospel is up for grabs, too, but night-owls beware it's a Sunday brunch affair. Kick back with some nachos and enjoy the show!

210-223-4361 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. The Menger Hotel, built in 1859, has hosted scores of well-known figures. As a result, its bar is full of historical references. Tradition says that in 1898, Teddy Roosevelt rounded up men to be part of the Rough Riders at this watering hole. In the early 1900s, temperance crusader Carry Nation wielded her axe and destroyed approximately 3 feet of the bar. Ike Eisenhower also brought Mamie here during their courting days. It still has tons of character and is a great place for a drink. Good food too.
