Want to know where to eat, drink and play while you are in San Antonio? The Valero Alamo Bowl staff has complied the below list of places we frequent. We've highlighted the "must-sees" in yellow and put astericks on the ones we save for special times or when it’s on someone else’s nickel.
Since the most popular questions are about Mexican food, dive bars and golf, we listed those first. We tried to focus on downtown, but some will require a car or taxi. To find more details on each entry just click the name and general information about that section will pop up.
Please email us at info@alamobowl.com to let us know what we're missing, where we are off-base and what questions you have (or if you need a personal tour guide as we love showing off the city). We’d advise hitting Riverwalk locations early in your stay as the top places will have longer waits as we get to game time. We hope you enjoy your visit to San Antonio.
