Earlier than the San Antonio Inventory Present and Rodeo get right here in February, a brief rodeo-ready bar is settling in. Each Thursday via Sunday, from now till March 2 (fully encapsulating the precise rodeo’s schedule), the themed pop-up Dusty Diamond is taking on Excessive Reward Rooftop Bar.
The Intercontinental San Antonio Riverwalk debuted in August of 2024, and with it was Excessive Reward. That makes this the “first-ever rodeo-themed pop-up bar,” in line with a press launch — suggesting that this may turn into a practice for the brand new rooftop bar, a moody area with each indoor and out of doors sections.
The Dusty Diamond may have some enjoyable touches within the decor together with cowhide rugs, wagon wheels, and lanterns, however the actual enjoyable is within the actions. Visitors can strive driving the mechanical bull, testing their lasso expertise, and getting their hats branded and bandanas embroidered by Hat Bar San Antonio. Pus, they will choose up jewellery by Kendra Scott, handmade leather-based objects by Tried and True Leather-based, and extra branding by Tecovas on merchandise made by the model.
On the drinks menu, there are 10 particular cocktails impressed by nation hits like “Boots Cease Working” with Tito’s Vodka, Cointreau Orange liqueur, raspberries, lemon juice, rosé, and a rose petal; and “If I used to be a Cowboy” with Pendleton Whiskey, Creole Orgeat, angostura bitters, pecan bitters, and a dried lime garnish. “This One’s for the Ladies” is a pickly pear ranch water made with Surtierra tequila, a rodeo associate alongside Stockman Wine.
Visitors can style Surtierra and Stockman Wine within the foyer of the resort from 7-9pm each different Saturday, beginning January 18. In the event that they purchase a bottle of tequila, all proceeds will profit scholarships for college kids in Texas.
The meals menu has Tex-Mex bites like shrimp-esquites tostadas, deviled eggs, chips and caviar, pulled pork sliders, and hen lollipops with jalapeño honey.
