San Antonio's $5 martini hotspot

👋 Madalyn here with a budget-friendly way to spice up your weeknight: $5 martinis at Lunatique.

The vibe: Lunatique is the rooftop bar above Amelia, the cocktail lounge at The Creamery District near Pearl.

• Some nights it's a mellow escape. Other nights, a DJ is spinning early 2000s throwbacks at just the right volume.
• Every Thursday, 4pm–1am, martinis — yes, including espresso and cucumber — are just $5. Well drinks are $4.

If you go: Start with a rooftop round, then head downstairs to Amelia for live jazz. Or walk a few steps to Costa Pacifica for dinner.

The bottom line: A stylish night out doesn't have to break the bank.
