Secret Garden, an immersive springtime pop-up bar at High Praise inside the Intercontinental Hotel, is open through June 29.
The vibe: It's like stepping into a flower shop — faux blooms, sure, but still dreamy, with colorful buds cascading down the walls.
- The indoor patio furniture creates a cool cabana feel that made me think of the "outside is the inside" club idea from "A Night at the Roxbury."
- Given how brutal real patio weather can be in San Antonio, it works.
- And it makes for really pretty pictures.
What to try: The Morning Sunshine ($16), which has tequila, Ancho Reyes, pineapple, lime and Tajín. It tastes like a spicy margarita with a tropical twist.
- If you're snackish, the cheese plate ($22) and chips with French onion dip ($9) made for the perfect girl dinner.
