I know, I know. It looks sketchy. But it's the friendliest place in the neighborhood and very safe. You'll see all walks of life, but you'll also find everything you need. Just walk out the front door and look left. There it is. Say hi to Fred.

The Eifell Tower of San Antonio, the "Power View", the Tower of Americas! Built in 1968 for Hemisfair, you'll see it from the back porch and through the bedroom windows. But you can also take an elevator ride to the top. It's free! You can also visit the bar, or dine as your view slowly changes as the restaurant rotates.

Drinks & Nightlife
Con Safos means "with respect". Vast beer selection to choose from and then carry with you through the park (yes it's legal). But don't leave before you check out the local artwork hanging in the restored historical building. I don't know who the DJ will be when you go, but I can tell you they will be good.
