Fiesta 2025 is in full swing, but severe storms might threaten all the outdoor fun. These San Antonio bars are your best bet to keep the party vibes going. Whether pre-gaming before NIOSA or craving a cocktail after the Fiesta Flambeau Parade lights go out, check out these eight Alamo City spots for specialty Fiesta drinks, available only for a limited time.
Agave 210
This hidden gem inside the San Antonio Marriott Airport Hotel is flying high with its Fiesta concoctions. The agave-fueled Fiesta-Rita and the La Fiesta Azul will be available until the Cinco de Mayo celebrations on May 5. Guests looking to take a break from tequila can sip the floral, citrus-forward Lavitar made with gin, lemon juice, and lavender-infused agave nectar.
Aldaco's
Picture-perfect with blue, red, and white layers, Aldaco's' specialty Fiesta frozen margarita is only available until Sunday, May 4. The Stone Oak eatery also has plenty of Fiesta foods, from empanadas to gorditas.
Amor Eterno
The sexy Southtown cocktail lounge dropped its new spring menu on the first night of NIOSA. Enjoy a Tropical Tease with gin and dragonfruit; the famous Noches de Amor with tequila, bubbles, strawberry, and lemon; or take a daq or two to go — after all, many Fiesta events are within walking distance.
Hot Joy
River North's laid-back, Asian-inspired restaurant and bar has fully embraced Fiesta's spirit with limited-time-only specials. The frozen Little Mango That Could, Hot Joy's creative spin on a classic mangonada, pairs with hot fried chicken-on-a-stick, tom yum esquites, or a Korean corn dog with gochujang ketchup.
Pink Shark
Open daily during Fiesta from noon to 2 am, this downtown bar's Fiesta pop-up bar is more exuberant than a basket of cascarones. Drinks include specialty cocktails like Fiesta daiquiris and festive shots and the food specials cover classics like chicken-on-a-stick. And yes, you can take drinks to-go!

Rosario's
The Southtown staple has two contrasting Fiesta margaritas for guests who prefer different flavor profiles. Enjoy the fruit cup or pickle margarita, on the rocks or frozen, alongside classic Rosario's fajitas or a generous helping of chips and salsa.
Tony's Siesta
Essentially Fiesta drink headquarters, the cozy downtown cantina has on-theme drinks year-round. From the famous Tony's Frescas to Siesta Ritas to enough micheladas to keep all of San Antonio hydrated, Tony's has something for everyone. They'll also have food vendors onsite offering Fiesta food specials to keep the party going well after all the parades end.
Zocca Cuisine D'Italia
Don't just order your margs at Zocca — make them too! For one night only on Thursday, May 1, guests at the Westin Riverwalk's in-house restaurant can learn how to craft two to three signature margaritas with Lalo tequila. There will be a blind-tasting contest (the best mixologist will win a prize), light bites, and take-home goodies. Tickets are $50.
