Liberty Bar Tribute

Liberty Bar has been a fixture in San Antonio for 25 years, an unlikely and magical convergence of red neon lights, hipster waitstaff, loyal clientele and owner Dwight Hobart’s “serious food” all gathered inside a tipsy 100-year-old building. Last night was Liberty’s last before they move to their new location in Southtown, where they will reopen Wednesday the 26th.

The last image in the above group titled “Liberty’s Final Hour” was a one hour exposure taken from 9:30pm to 10:30pm May 17th. I’ve also compiled a time lapse video of this final hour plus a half hour after closing time during which people shuffled out and the lights and fans were turned off.

    I enjoyed many excellent meals and cold beers at the Liberty Bar in the late 90′s. I’ve heard the new location is nowhere near as good. Scott, any chance you might sell a print of the night shot of the Liberty bar from the outside?

    Thanks Eric, I’d be happy to get a print to you. The new location is fantastic, BTW. I think we all love the old location but the new one has a charm all of it own as well.
