Enjoy a glass of wine at Copa Wine Bar, a local venue in the Stone Oak area of San Antonio that grew out of the owner’s former business, Wines Etc. This San Antonio wine bar offers an expansive list of wine varietals from around the world, plus some flavorful tapas to go along with them.
Whether your taste in wine runs to Prosecco from Spain, Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington state, or Pinot Noir from California, you’re sure to find something delightful at Copa. Pair your glass or bottle with a tasty small plate like Fire Roasted Chevre with crostini, Hummus San Antonio with warm toasted pita, or Albondigas – meatballs simmered in wine demi-glace. A meat or cheese plate is always a good choice for sharing at the table. Panini, Pommes Frites – crispy, Belgian-style fries, and Pizzettes – small, hand-tossed pizzas, are also on the menu.

La Cabana is a well-known Mexican restaurant in the Universal City area that is perfect for a casual lunch or dinner out. While it doesn’t serve the usual Tex-Mex fare that many similar nearby eateries offer, it does boast a large selection of Mexican-American dishes, like tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas.
While many local residents consider this a great lunch or dinner option, La Cabana also offers an impressive full bar that creates zany cocktails, such as the slushy margaritas with an ice-cold beer bottle tipped inside. Stop by for a $3 margarita during the weekday happy hour, or just take advantage of the everyday low prices at this local favorite.
Inside, La Cabana looks a bit like a log cabin, with exposed wooden beams and an A-frame style. The colorful flags and banners give it a Mexican touch that’s fun and festive.

If you’re an animal lover, an outdoor enthusiast, or simply a Universal City resident looking to get to know the area, you’ll love visiting Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. This incredible wild animal zoo is home to some of the most exotic animals on the planet, including beautiful zebras, giant ostriches, and majestic giraffes.
Unlike a traditional zoo, Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch contains a paved road that winds its way through the zoo, enabling the animals to come up to your car to eat out of your hand. You’ll receive a bag of food pellets with your admission, and because the friendly animals are so used to visiting with people, you’ll be able to pet and feed them right out your window!
Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. For a complete list of admission prices, visit the ranch’s website.
