I figured I proved my Passive-Aggressive point last week with Helobious. I'm over it now. Been too goddam busy coming back to Dallas to be a 1%er to comment further.
However...for those that gave a damn...let's continue on our adventures.
On Saturday morn, we arose from The Westin and wandered The Riverwalk down to Boudro's right at 11am. Got a table on the patio. Ordered Prickly Pear Margaritas, Mojitos, and the tableside Guacamole with extra Serranos, and then we sat and watched the world go by. It was lovely. When it got crowded, we left.
We relocated to Waxy O'Connor's. Walked all the way to the back bar. Inquired about allocated Bourbon (which they no longer tend to receive...at all...), but then we stayed for a few rounds anyway until the sports crowds got thick.
Popped into On The Bend. Sat inside because the saxophonist was meh. Their cocktail menu was awesome, so was their seafood.
Popped into Mad Dog's. Goddam, I have hated that place since the mid 90s. I just want it to be better each and every time. I'm not even gonna share our experience there. Fuck that bar.
Went to Otro. When the weather is good, this is an amazing place to hang out. Great Riverwalk hangout with truly talented bartenders. We stayed there so long that my wife didn't give a shit about going to the downstairs Esquire (which was her original goal).
Along with all the other places I mentioned in previous posts last week, there are many amazing places to hang out on the Riverwalk with your girl and just enjoy life.
The Riverwalk gets a bad rap. Sometimes, rightfully so. Buncha fatasses roaming around, buncha hawkers, and...make no mistake...THE MEXICAN FOOD SUCKS..., but that doesn't mean there aren't great places to eat and drink.
And I guarantee that Helobious hasn't heard of a single motherfucking one of them.....
We didn't make a dinner reservation because I only packed 2 black t-shirts into a back-pack, intending to enjoy a Heavy Metal weekend, despite Helobious not hearing of any of the bands. Maybe next time I'll pack more into my First Class carry-on so I can live up to Surly's expectations.
If we had made a res, it would have been at Nonna Osteria. Fuck Paesano's. Just sayin.
When we did stagger back to The Westin, drunk and almost ready for watching reruns of The Office in the room, we bellied up to the bar at Zocca. Once again, their bar and food menu are awesome, but we already know that. I'm sure Helobious doesn't
For anyone bringing a wife to San Antonio, I hope this is helpful.
Too lazy to write more. Gotta add another 0 to my portfolio.
