How do you get into No Vacancy?
We have not confirmed it. No Vacancy is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at No Vacancy
How the venue describes itself: “Experience the best of San Antonio at Aiden Hotel. Our prime location in the charming St. Paul’s Square places you in the heart of the city’s vibrant downtown, and steps away from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Blood and Sand, Bobby Burns, and Rob Roy are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Texas
Texas did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1918, two years before the Eighteenth Amendment came into force nationally on 17 January 1920. By the time the Volstead Act was being enforced across the country, Texas already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
