New River Walk honky-tonk opens
The former Pat O'Brien's location on the River Walk reopened as The Rowdy Spur, a honky-tonk destination reflecting San Antonio’s evolving nightlife.
The Rowdy Spur's arrival marks a shift from chain establishments to concepts emphasizing local culture. The new honky-tonk aims to offer an authentic San Antonio experience with live music and a vibrant atmosphere. The space was previously occupied by Pat O'Brien's, a New Orleans-themed bar that closed in 2023. The change reflects a desire for more localized entertainment options on the River Walk. The Rowdy Spur is co-owned by local restauranteur Lisa Wong, known for her contribution to San Antonio's culinary scene. Her involvement signals a commitment to quality and understanding of the local market.
