Charles Court

Charles Court is a beautiful little alleyway between Zinc and The Davenport that serves as a nice little place to dodge out of the South Texas heat for a bit.
Charles Court is an old dead-​end service alley that was for the buildings facing Commerce and Presa. One end of the Court is the old Alamo Bank Building. It’s a cozy place to relax in the beautifully landscaped courtyard, furnished with a fountain and plenty of places to sit and watch the traffic go by.
It also serves Zinc’s outside patio on one side, so if you sit by the restaurant, they’re going to want to serve you. Zinc’s a good place– check out their burgers.
It also serves as a good place to dodge out of The Davenport and get some air and quiet.
I don’t think you technically need to be a patron of either business to enjoy this little place.
Just be respectful and quiet in here. Those are people’s offices and homes overlooking the courtyard.
