Great bar! My kids had fun with the old-time phone booths. We did not see any ghosts in the second floor scary mirror but not for lack of trying.

Very cool place of historical significance. One bullet hole in the wall near the mirror is from Teddy Roosevelt, from during the time he recruited the Rough Riders.

Supposedly the most haunted hotel in San Antonio. Was next door to an undertaker when first built.

The Menger Hotel has a number of interesting features, including an elaborate stained glass ceiling and lighted columns in the lobby.

Hotel and bar built in 1859. Bar modeled after bar in the British House of Lords. Teddy Roosevelt recruited Rough Riders here. First bar in Texas with ice... Several bullet holes by the bar and cattle deals still done here.... Great margarita on the rocks.
