Owner of San Antonio bar Moses Rose's says he's suing Texas General Land Office

The owner of Moses Rose's Hideout, the downtown San Antonio bar slated for eminent domain acquisition, said Tuesday that sales talks with the Texas General Land Office (GLO) have failed and he now plans to sue the state. David Cruz, a spokesman for bar owner Vince Cantu, said in an emailed statement that Cantu will argue the state can't invoke eminent domain — the right of a government entity to force a sale of private property — for financial gain. Located at 516 E. Houston St., Moses Rose's sits in the footprint of the proposed $150 million Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, scheduled to open in 2026.
