Come experience a time before bootleggers, speakeasies, moonshine, bathtub gin, and rum runners.
(1974)

Revered as an ode to craftsmanship, American history, and whisk(e)y, 1919 takes you a step back in time to the era of prohibition. Hidden away in the Blue Star Complex of San Antonio, like most speakeasies of yesteryear, you wouldn’t see 1919 if you hadn’t already heard of it.

Third Thursday Tasting: B**r & Cheese
Thursday, October 15 • 7:30 PM • Bar 1919

B**r and cheese have been sharing a table for a long time. This Third Thursday, we’re giving the pairing the attention it deserves.

We’ll work through a handpicked lineup of b**rs alongside carefully matched cheeses, exploring how malt, hops, texture, salt, richness, and acidity can completely change what you notice in the glass—and on the plate.

Expect a relaxed, guided evening with plenty to taste and a little useful knowledge along the way. No need to be a b**r expert. Just bring an appetite and a willingness to try something new.

As always, we keep these tastings small so everyone gets a proper seat and a proper pour.

THE I-35 BAR EXCHANGE
BAR HACIENDA AT BAR 1919
Tuesday, September 1 · 8PM–12AM

Eighty miles of interstate sit between Austin and Southtown. For one night, they don't.

It is our privilege to welcome Bar Hacienda behind our bar — the Rainey Street lounge with the leather chairs, the Persian rugs, and a mezcal program worth the drive. They know what it is to be found only by those already looking.

Two guest cocktails, poured for one night only:

CARAGIGILO — Reposado tequila, sweet vermouth, miso, Licor 43 & spent coffee

HACIENDA HIGHBALL — Zancudo Espadín mezcal, toasted coconut, clarified citrus & soda

Our full menu is pouring alongside them all evening.

The Exchange runs the length of the day across San Antonio. We are the nightcap. Bar Hacienda pours until midnight. We keep the lights low until two.

No reservations. No sign out front. Down the dimly lit stairs at the Blue Star Arts Complex, the way it has always been done.
