New nightspot The Rose has opened in downtown San Antonio

A new downtown nightspot called The Rose of San Antonio is slinging "handcrafted cocktails and delectable small bites" in the space that formerly housed Maddy McMurphy's Irish Sports Bar, according to social media posts from its management. The Rose — its name is presumably a nod to the country music classic "San Antonio Rose" — officially opened April 23, according to the business' Facebook page. In addition to serving beer, wine and cocktails, the venue includes an area for live music.
