The Bonham Exchange

The Bonham Exchange occupies a downtown San Antonio building constructed in 1891 for a German athletic association as Turner Hall, built of pressed Chicago brick, Kerrville limestone, and granite. After serving as a USO office and post office storage facility, the building was converted into a nightclub in 1981 and expanded into a 25,000-square-foot, three-level venue with a large patio. A 2012 renovation restored more than 10,000 square feet of hardwood dance floor throughout the space. Over three decades, the venue has hosted performers including Tina Turner, Prince, and RuPaul, alongside touring Broadway productions. It runs 10+ bars and a surround-sound, lightshow, and video-screen system across its dance floors, and hosts weekly karaoke and drag shows along with private events such as weddings, birthdays, and office parties. Its Rainbow Room offers a private event space with a stage, sound and lighting, a dressing/green room, and its own bar.
