House Notice
The house rules and the terms of using bandida901.com. Short, plain, and meant to be read once.
Using bandida901.com, booking a table, or stepping through the door at 901 N. Alamo means agreeing to what follows. The rules are the bar's. Anyone who would rather not be bound by them is welcome to close the tab or step back out of the room.
La Bandida is a cocktail bar at 901 N. Alamo St., San Antonio, Texas, operated by its ownership. In this notice, references to the bar, the house, or La Bandida mean the business; the loft means the upstairs floor; the site means bandida901.com and any subdomain or page it operates; guest means the person reading this — at the door, at a table, or on the website.
La Bandida is a bar that serves alcohol under a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission license. Guests must meet the legal drinking age of twenty-one to be served alcohol. Valid government-issued photo identification is required, every time, regardless of appearance. An ID that cannot be verified will not be accepted, and entry can be refused on that basis alone.
The site is not intended for, and the house does not knowingly serve, anyone under twenty-one.
Reservations may be requested through the site or, when an embedded booking platform is in use on the reservation page, through that platform under its own terms. A reservation request is not a confirmation. A booking is held only once the house — or the booking platform, on the house's behalf — sends a confirmation in writing.
The upstairs loft is reservation-only. Booking confirmations carry the name on the reservation; the door recognizes the name. Reservations are released in two-week windows. Parties cap at six. Tables do not move together: if friends arrive separately, the host seats them separately.
Late arrivals lose the table after fifteen minutes. The bar pours for the line, not the calendar.
Buyouts of the loft, full-floor closures, and tasting menus are arranged through the private-events inquiry form on the contact page. A signed event agreement supersedes the general terms on this page for anything it specifically addresses. Until that agreement is countersigned, any quote, hold, or date discussed is informal and not a confirmed booking.
La Bandida is a candle-lit room that runs on quiet confidence. To keep it that way —
The number listed on the site — 210-439-0832 — is a text-only line. When a guest texts the bar, the house may text back about a booking, an event, or a question that was sent in. Standard message and data rates from the carrier may apply. Reply STOP at any time to end SMS contact. Reply HELP for help.
Newsletter subscriptions are voluntary, sent only to addresses that asked to receive them, and every message includes a one-click unsubscribe. Details of how that information is handled are in the privacy notice.
The name La Bandida, the bandida mark, the typography and layout of the site, the photography, the menu copy, and the wordmark are property of the bar's ownership. They may not be reproduced, printed, embroidered, or applied to merchandise without written permission.
Personal, non-commercial use — a photograph posted to a guest's own social account, a friend sent a link to the menu — is welcome and encouraged. Use that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation requires written permission.
Anything sent through the contact form, the reservation form, the newsletter, or the text line — including notes written into the What are we celebrating? field — may be retained as part of the booking record and used to answer the message, fulfill the booking, and improve service. Submissions are handled as described in the privacy notice. The house does not solicit, and is not responsible for reviewing, unsolicited creative ideas, recipes, or business proposals; anything sent of that nature is shared at the sender's risk and without expectation of confidentiality or compensation.
The site uses a small number of outside services to function — typography via Google Fonts, a map via OpenStreetMap, SMS via Twilio, and, when in use, a third-party reservation platform. Each operates under its own terms and privacy policy. The house is not responsible for the practices of those providers, but selects them with the same restraint applied to everything else on the site.
The site is offered as it is. Hours, menus, prices, and event listings are kept up to date, but a particular cocktail, spirit, or seating may not always be available at the moment of a guest's visit. Typographical errors, the rare misprice, and changes to the program are corrected as they are found; they do not create an obligation to honor a stated price or detail that was published in error.
A guest agrees to defend and hold harmless the bar, its owners, and its staff from claims brought by a third party arising out of the guest's breach of these terms, the guest's misuse of the site, or the guest's conduct on the premises.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute that is not resolved informally shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Bexar County, Texas, and both parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in force. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with the privacy notice and any signed event agreement, are the entire understanding between the guest and the bar regarding the site and the visit.
If these terms change in any meaningful way, the new version is posted here with a fresh effective date. Continued use of the site or a future visit to the bar after that date means the new terms apply.
