Entry No. 3 — the San Antonio file — filed under: speakeasy

Bar 1919

Down a dim stairwell under the Blue Star Arts Complex, vested mixologists pour from one of the country's largest whiskey collections — and pointedly keep the vodka selection almost nonexistent, a house rule they'll happily explain.

The move: Descend the basement stairs after 7pm (closed-toe shoes required by the dress code), order a flight of off-menu bourbons, and let the bartenders build you something custom while you work through the Prohibition-era back catalog.
