“YOU MAY ALL GO TO HELL, AND I WILL GO TO THE CROCKETT TAVERN!”Born out of the ruins of The Alamo’s last stand, situated on the El Camino Real Trail, the Crockett Tavern is the real Texas deal.Located in the historic Crockett Hotel, feet away from the perimeter walls of the legendary Alamo, the Tavern exists as a living reflection of the site of the infamous battle of nearly two centuries ago and of Davy Crockett, the storied frontiersman whose life and death provided the most remarkable narrative of it all.The surroundings tell their own tale. Old Bexar rock, repurposed oak and cedar beams create a canvas that harkens back to the days when Texas was a battleground for independence. After your visit to the world-famous Alamo, the Tavern offers a chilled whiskey cocktail or an ice-cold Texan craft-brewed beer, served at a worn and weathered bar that is guarded by Texas’ largest girth longhorn mount.
