Bar 601 — Restaurant in San Antonio

🍸🍹🥂Bar 601 at Tower of the Americas – Drinks with a View! Address: 739 E César E. Chávez Blvd, San Antonio, TX 78205

Perched high above downtown San Antonio inside the iconic Tower of the Americas, Bar 601 is a hidden gem offering sweeping skyline views and an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re stopping by for a cocktail or staying for a full meal, this bar delivers on all fronts.

The tropical cocktail I ordered was not only refreshing but also beautifully crafted—topped with frothy foam, fresh mint, pineapple, and a cherry. It’s the kind of drink that feels like a mini vacation in a glass. Presentation was top-notch, and the flavors were well-balanced and vibrant.

For food, I tried the Fish Tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned blackened fish, generous slices of avocado, and a creamy drizzle wrapped in warm tortillas made this dish a standout. The portion size was satisfying, and the ingredients tasted fresh and thoughtfully paired.

The ambiance at Bar 601 is elevated (literally and figuratively). With a sleek bar setup, attentive service, and a classy vibe, it’s a great place to relax, catch the view, and enjoy a moment above the bustle of the city.

Highly recommend this spot for date nights, special occasions, or anyone visiting the Tower. A drink at Bar 601 is a must-do experience in San Antonio! 🧉🍷🥃🍺🍻🍸🍹🥂🍾 I ❤️...

Cheesy. Touristy. Pricey (perhaps).

Yes. All that. But overall, fun. And what views! Can't beat the views anywhere else in town.

Been here several times. Each time it just gets better. They've changed their cocktail menu recently and it's pretty exciting.

Our last outing, we had a group of friends from ATX that never been. We took them up and they loved it. We were pleasantly surprised with their fresh cocktail menu . We had several that were pretty stiff, but tasty drinks. We were mostly impressed by their Cocktails for Two.

They bring out this canteen looking container and filled it with fruits and aromatics followed by several spirits which they them proceed to mix. Once mixed, the set 3 shot glasses in front of each person, each glass with its own distinct flavor. They then present 3 low ball glasses to each person and start to pour the concoction into each glass. Finally, the shot glass is emptied into each low ball to make your drinks. These cocktails were outstanding!!! Even after all 6 cocktails are poured, you still have alcohol left to continue to make some more.

Definitely go check it out. And ask for the Cocktails for Two. You won't regret it.

The only drawback is the parking. If you don't want to dish out the cash for premium parking, your options are to park all the way in China...

Really cool bar that is at the top of the tower of americas. You get a nice view of San Antonio city!

Our server was very nice but I think the service could have been a bit better. For example, we weren't given or offered any waters. We didn't have any napkins so the server put my drink spoon on the bare table which grossed me out.

I ordered the espresso martini which was really pricey but they prepare it on a cart in front of you which was cool. The drink was very strong and sweet.

We also ordered the meatballs and hummus. The food was decent! But I'm not sure if I would have a full on dinner here.

Overall it was cool to experience and a great way to see the San Antonio city line so if you are a tourist I would consider checking...
