    What makes it fun

    The Sternewirth is a one of a kind bar located in Hotel Emma. The Sternewirth, is named for the Sternewirth Privilege, which allowed 19th Century brewery employees to enjoy the fruits of their labor (free beer!) during their workday. The Sternewirth offers beer, wine, cocktails, and appetizers in an elegant yet cozy environment. Oh and you Harry Potter Fans, won’t want to miss the opportunity to order a Professor McGonagall, a cocktail with gin, coconut rum, honey, lime, and ginger beer. If you’re feeling a little more romantic, you can order the Whispering Angel Rose. Either way, the Sternewirth is a picture-pefect place to propose to your sweetie then celebrate with a delicious drink. Cheers!

    One of the most beautiful and unique places in San Antonio. Perfectly moody and secluded, tucked inside the gorgeous historic Hotel Emma, it’s one of my top choices for staff and client meetings, leisure and relaxation. I absolutely recommend it.

    Inside Hotel Emma. Ambiance was great. Drinks were hitting. Relaxed and Calm environment with sophistication. Visited on a Friday evening around 6-7pm and we were able to find seating after ordering at the bar. Would definitely return on my next trip to San Antonio. So much better than drinking/eating by the Riverwalk.

    Excellent decor, knowledgeable bartenders and amazing cocktails. Wish there was a bit more room, but overall a great place to grab a craft cocktail. Definitely going back!

    Me and my best friend of 35 years came in Friday afternoon as our first spot in the Pearl. What a great bar- James and Nate took incredible pride in their creations which were unfortunately wasted on me drinking beer the whole time. Excellent Gold Export Lager, and great IPA. We were also able to try an Ardbeg that I had never seen/tried before. A complete experience with great recommendations for the rest of our trip. Thanks everybody!
