What People Are Saying About Cadillac Bar

The Scene
With simple furniture and decor and a long, hardwood bar, this place screams "Texas." You'll probably find some folks drinking beer with their lunch, but not of the sandals-and-black-socks (aka tourists) variety. A block from the courthouse, Cadillac patrons, more often than not, tend to be lawyers and city officials who come for the ale and the patio out back, one perfect for those pleasant Texas evenings. Although the spot seems designed for longneck drinking, Cadillac also offers a full bar. It's more of a hang-out than anything else, although live music occasionally pops up on the weekends.
The Food
As far as eating, Cadillac has the good stuff covered: Tex-Mex, steaks and seafood. Monday through Friday features a decent Tex-Mex buffet, but ordering off the menu is still an option. For late-evening munchies, Cadillac offers appetizers, burgers and the like.

My sisters and I held our parents' surprise anniversary party in one of the bar's party rooms. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful and the set-up of the room was exactly what we asked for. If you are on a budget then this is one place to check-out. There is no cost for room rental, you are only paying for the catering. Linens, set-up, and clean-up are also included. The DJ was a minimal fee and was very good. I was explained up front that my deposit of $200 was non-refundable, but could be used on food or drink if the event was canceled. I do recommend good bookkeeping on the client's part because there is no contract and I honestly don't think a record of the pre-payments I made to the bar were kept. I kept all my receipts and got all the details like cash bar prices and fees in writing. I didn't want any surprises the night of the party. Parking can also be issue, but anywhere in downtown S.A. poses a parking issue.

Ok, so we are from out of town and wanted to book a rehearsal dinner at this Cadillac Bar & Restaurant location. We put down $200 to reserve the place and went by to check it out in person when we were in San Antonio. A red flag should have gone up when the management staff failed to return phone calls in a timely manner. After seeing this dirty, little unorganized place, we said no way on having our rehearsal dinner there. My fiance called to ask if we could just apply the $200 depost to a dinner, the management duo of mom & daughter said no. We didn't even ask for a refund, but rather just use our $200 towards some drinks and dinner. Avoid the terrible customer service and stay on the riverwalk.

Great place to meet after work for drinks. Fantastic place to go to on Friday nights. Various bands play with music for everyone. Great D.J.! Small dance floor though, other than that, it's lots of fun and great place to meet people and celebrate a birthday!!

Speaking of Politicians:
Within walking distance is the old Spanish Governor's Palace, a CitySearch nominee for best historic site.
Dress Like a True Local:
Paris Hatters is another downtown institution. Walk in and get fitted for an Open Road Stetson, favorite among lawyers and politicians—LBJ shaded his head with one.
