Description: Our chefs have painstakingly created a menu of wine-friendly fare consisting of old world hors d'oeuvres and regionally inspired tapas. From baked Texas goat cheese with kalamata olives to fresh chocolate covered strawberries, the menu caters to the diversity of the food enthusiasts. Charles Court, at the rear of Zinc, is a truly serene gathering place for a rare outdoor experience. The private, spacious courtyard makes for a quiet sanctuary from the clatter of downtown city streets and the Riverwalk.

The food was very good, wine list was extensive, and good cocktails and sangria. Waitstaff very average, and a little pricey. All in all B+ or A- More

On Saturday nights, the River Walk loop is an absolute zoo. We knew that going in, But we had a hankering for the Guacamole at Boudros. Our belief was that even without a reservation, at least we could sit at the bar for some appetizers - but of course that was foolish. But when we mentioned to the hostess that... More

Went both night we were in San Antonio, once to have a couple glasses of wine and an appetizer, and once to have a couple after dinner drinks and dessert. Zinc is a great spot, with an excellent and very friendly staff. It's exactly the kind of place we like to find when we go out of town on trips.... More

We stumbled across the Zinc Bar waiting for a table at Boudro's on the Riverwalk. The manager asked if we wouldn't mind waiting at their "sister" bar. We walked into the Zinc and immediately fell in love. Wine selection is awesome and the serving staff knew the selection and the taste of each one. My server suggested a crisp dry... More

Atmosphere was dark and cozy. Not a big space. Had requested on our 9pm reservation to sit outside but was not accomodated. Service was friendly and consistent. Menu is limited. Zinc burger was incredible, portabella patty melt was good and the Texas chopped salmon salad was fantastic. Creme brulee was a little dissapointing, but not disgusting. Lots of wine choices... More

I've been here several times, and each time am re-amazed at what a gem it is. It is a block off the Riverwalk, so quieter than usual, especially in the beautiful back courtyard, and easier to get into. I've eaten there on a Saturday night on the spur of the moment twice, without a wait. The food is stellar and... More
