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.
