The Garrison
420 E San Antonio Ave · Downtown, San Antonio Ave
Downtown’s most serious cocktail room — a culinary approach to balance and technique, with food to match.
Why it is on the list
- The bar to take someone who thinks El Paso does not do cocktails.
- A short walk from the Plaza Theatre, so it works before or after a show.
More bars
The Tiki Room
El Paso’s original tiki bar: traditional Polynesian-style drinks, an enormous rum list, and Union Plaza outside the door.
Rosewood
A dim downtown lounge that keeps going well after the restaurants have turned the lights up.
The Berkeley
A specialty cocktail lounge downtown — quiet, deliberate, and not trying to be a club.
