UT fans know how to have a good time when they watch the game.
At least three local spots are planning epic watch parties for the matchup, which will pit the No. 20 Texas Longhorns against the No. 12 Washington Huskies.
Smoke BBQ + Skybar will host the official Texas Exes San Antonio Alamo Bowl tailgate and watch party event at its sprawling downtown location. The party will start at 4 p.m., ahead of the 8 p.m. game time, and the venue is urging folks to arrive early to ensure a seat to view the action. The venue will serve its barbecue and specialty drinks throughout the event. 501 E. Crockett Street, (210) 253-9919, smokedowntown.com.
Downtown’s Maverick Distilling will offer gametime food and drink — including specialty cocktails made with spirits distilled onsite — while the Texas Longhorns and Washington Huskies battle it out on the football field. The game starts at 8 p.m., and the distillery will have first-come, first-served seating available at tables or at the bar inside the historic tasting room. 115 Broadway, (210) 447-7010, maverickwhiskey.com.
Hotel Contessa’s Ambler Texas Kitchen + Cocktails will erect a jumbotron inside the Riverwalk-level atrium for attendees to watch the game live. Live music by The Chris Cuevas Project will begin at 5 p.m. and conclude at the 8 p.m. kickoff. Ambler will feature two themed drinks for the occasion, including the Purple Reign for Washington fans — gin, citrus, honey and lavender — while Texas fans can sip on the Burnt Orange Old Fashioned, made with tequila, mezcal, sherry and bitters. Ambler’s full drink and food menus will also be available. 306 W. Market St., (210) 298-8040, amblersanantonio.com.
