About

About Waxy O'Connor's

Waxy O'Connor's occupies a storied spot on the San Antonio Riverwalk, offering one of the most authentically constructed Irish pub interiors in the American Southwest. The woodwork, bar fixtures, and decorative millwork were fabricated at the Truwood Joinery Shop in County Monaghan, Ireland, then crated and shipped across the Atlantic to Galveston before being assembled on the banks of the San Antonio River. Stepping through the door feels less like entering a themed restaurant and more like ducking into a centuries-old pub somewhere in Connaught or Munster.

The kitchen takes an equally serious approach to Irish pub cooking. Corned beef is slow-cooked in-house until fork-tender, the Guinness beef stew is built from real Guinness stout and fresh vegetables, and the fish for the fish and chips is hand-battered to order in a house beer batter. Even the sausages in the bangers and mash are imported directly from Ireland, giving the dish a character that domestic substitutes simply cannot replicate. Everything from the bread pudding to the chicken pot pie is made from scratch, a point of pride the kitchen staff maintain with quiet consistency.

Open daily from 11 AM until 2 AM, Waxy O'Connor's serves as an all-day destination — a casual lunch spot for Riverwalk visitors by day and a lively bar with live music events by night. Private party spaces are available for corporate events and celebrations, and the catering team can bring the Irish pub experience to off-site gatherings of nearly any size. It is a genuine rarity in the world of American Irish pubs: a place that earns the descriptor "authentic" without irony.

What makes Waxy O'Connor's an 'authentic' Irish pub?

The pub's interior was built at the Truwood Joinery Shop in County Monaghan, Ireland, and shipped to San Antonio. The kitchen uses imported Irish sausages for the Bangers & Mash, serves traditional Guinness-based stew, and prepares the corned beef entirely in-house rather than using pre-cooked product. The bread pudding and other desserts are also made from scratch daily.

What are the hours at Waxy O'Connor's?

Waxy O'Connor's is open daily from 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM. The kitchen serves food throughout those hours, making it one of the later-serving kitchens on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Always confirm hours directly with the restaurant at (210) 883-5554 before visiting.

How do Waxy O'Connor's prices compare to other Irish pubs?

Waxy O'Connor's is priced in the mid-range for an Irish pub experience. Entrées run $18–$20, which is notably more affordable than higher-end Irish pub concepts like Nine Fine Irishmen in Las Vegas (where comparable dishes run $25–$35) but on par with or slightly above casual pub chains. Given the Riverwalk location and from-scratch kitchen, most guests find the value solid.
