Casa Rio has stood on the San Antonio River Walk since 1946, when it became the first restaurant to open its doors along the river. The building itself is a Spanish Colonial hacienda on land first granted in 1777 by the King of Spain, with original thick rock walls, cedar lintels, and a working fireplace. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership under Los Leones, Casa Rio helped shape the River Walk's early character, from its colorful riverside umbrellas to its river barges. For private events, the venue offers several distinct spaces along the water. The Texas Room, the largest of the private rooms, is furnished in early Texas decor around a century-old solid oak bar and can combine with the adjoining Rio Room and Trophy Room for larger receptions. The Veranda Room is hung with colorful Mexican tapestries and string lights and looks out over the pedestrian bridge and the Torch of Friendship. For a more intimate gathering, groups can book a private river barge for a floating dinner on the San Antonio River. Every private event comes with full-service catering, customized menu and bar packages, and event planning and day-of coordination, along with décor, setup, and breakdown handled by the Casa Rio team.

BENDT No. 5 American Blended Whiskey is the first whiskey blend of its kind. What could be better than a tasty bourbon created by hand? Or maybe a rye? Perhaps a wheat? All of the above is correct. The sweet spot is found by taking the best of each distinct whiskey and bending and weaving each of their flavors together to create something new and amazing, smooth and delectable. BENDT can be found there. The first blended drink was produced in 2017, and our first blended whiskey was released in 2019. This happened after years of experimenting, changing recipes, and preparing whiskey mixes. If creating whiskey was our first love, the art of blending had become our second. BENDT Distilling Co. provides your visitors a one-of-a-kind experience, whether it's a private distillery tour or happy hour for your staff or a fully catered event for your entire organization. We accept groups of all sizes, with inside room for up to 125 people and outdoor area for up to 150. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, engagements, showers, and retirements are all excellent occasions to hold a party, and we would be delighted to host one. Contact a member of our staff to talk about your next event and let us handle the details. For both you and your guests, getting married at a whiskey distillery is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The appropriate setting for your special day is an outdoor or barrel room ceremony followed by an intimate reception in the whiskey garden and/or tasting hall.
