Bar America started off as Café America in 1942, founded by my great-grandfather Joe Ramirez. In 1957, my great-grandfather made the decision to change Café America into Bar America. Since its inception, Bar America has undergone four major changes.
We've gone from a café to a bar, moved from our original location off Main to S. Presa and moved again from S. Presa to S. Alamo Street. Most recently, after 70 years of a cash- and beer-only bar, we started selling liquor in April of 2014.
After more updates and overhauls to our 80 year old building, we are finally settled at our location today!
Enjoy your drink, have fun and always be respectful of others!
