On the anniversary Friday of the Battle of San Jacinto, the owner of Moses Rose's Hideout announced he'll go to court to fight the city's efforts to condemn the property.
The bar, Moses Rose’s Hideout at 516 E. Houston St. sits next to the historic Woolworth Building, which will become part of the Alamo museum and visitor center, set to open in March 2026.The owner of a bar near the Alamo said he's rejecting the city's final offer of $5.3 million for his property, even though officials have warned he'll end up with less than half that amount through eminent domain.
On the anniversary Friday of the Battle of San Jacinto, the owner of Moses Rose's Hideout — named after the reputed"coward of the Alamo" — announced he'll seek a court order to fight the city's efforts to condemn the property.— $6 million for the property at 516 E. Houston St. and $4 million for his business, a once-thriving sports bar near the Alamo that has struggled since the pandemic.
The city, working in partnership with the Texas General Land Office and nonprofit Alamo Trust on a project to expand and improve the mission and battle site, has said it's offered far more than the bar is worth to avoid condemnation — it was appraised at $2.1 million. The Alamo project partners say they need the property for a five-story wing of a museum and visitor center set to open in 2026 to make the new complex financially self-sustaining.
"The city is making this offer in the spirit of compromise and in a good faith effort to resolve this matter without the need for costly and protracted litigation," City Attorney Andy Segovia wrote in a letter extending the final offer Wednesday. Moses Roses Hideout bar owner Vince Cantu addresses the City Council before they voted to move ahead with eminent domain if an agreement cannot be reached with Cantu and his property on Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023.
