1Watson is a standout restaurant nestled atop the AC Hotel on San Antonio's iconic Riverwalk. Highly praised for its stunning rooftop views and vibrant atmosphere, patrons rave about the unforgettable experience it offers. Brittany Ibarra highlights the exceptional ambiance, especially during weekends when a DJ sets the mood alongside delicious drink offerings. Michael Randall shares that the views of downtown San Antonio from the rooftop are simply unmatched, making it a must-visit spot.

The bar is also welcoming to large groups, as noted by Eric Mercado, who enjoyed a family reunion weekend with a fantastic vibe and attentive staff. While the Sunday brunch is a highlight, some suggest that service can be hit or miss at busy times. Nevertheless, DeQuan Bowman appreciates the array of menu options, catering to both health-conscious diners and those seeking indulgent culinary delights. The overall sentiment conveys a relaxed yet lively atmosphere where friendly service complements the enjoyable offerings.

If you're in San Antonio and looking for a mix of great views, uplifting music, and tasty bites, 1Watson should certainly be on your itinerary.

Great rooftop bar with stunning views and delicious drinks. There was a dj playing good music on a Friday night. I’d recommend making a reservation if you plan on coming here on the weekend. They might even offer you a blanket if you’re really cold. The food was okay as well

One of my favorite spots when visiting San Antonio. The bar is located on top of the AC Hotel on the Riverwalk and has a great rooftop patio with views of downtown San Antonio.

They vibe is vibing at 1Watson. They accommodated our large family reunion all weekend. We closed the bar every night and the staff was amazing. The view's are impeccable and the drinks were fantastic. Sunday Brunch was so good, but service struggled a bit. Thank you for putting up with our group.

Great experience overall with great options ranging from healthy to delicious or both. Our server was nothing short of great with a southern politeness that’s hard to miss. Our family cleared there plates and the rooftop area was amazing.

This was a cool San Antonio rooftop that overlooks, the famous Riverwalk. I got a marshmallow old fashioned off their holiday menu that was sweeter than your average but delicious nonetheless. The bartender Sebastian was very attentibe and friendly. Great service, great drinks, great views!

Sarah with Offline - Can't believe I haven't reviewed 1Watson before now! I've been a couple of times prior and have always loved the food. The interior is just beautiful and if you make our way outside the views of the SA skyline can't be beat. During my most recent visit I enjoyed a delicious clubhouse sandwich that had a crab salad in it (YUM) and a muddled berry cocktail. The service was slow at the beginning but as soon as we got their attention she was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend this place if you have out of town guests or if you just want some good food and cocktails with a fantastic view.

The view from the rooftop is beautiful and the aesthetics are a whole vibe. I enjoyed drinks and appetizers with friends. The SW Loaded Potato Wedges were so tasty! I'll definitely be back!
