Looks like Liberty Bar is only going to move and not have 2 locations like previously stated:
Liberty Bar is moving south

The Liberty Bar soon will be crooked no more. Instead, it will be rather saintly.
For 25 years, the iconic San Antonio restaurant has operated on Josephine Street in a leaning house dating to the 1890s.
But Dwight Hobart, the restaurant's owner, will be moving the restaurant to the former St. Scholastica Convent on South Alamo Street sometime early next year.
“It will still be the Liberty Bar,” Hobart said. “It will have the same management, same menu.”
Hobart announced in March 2008 that he purchased the former convent site in order to open a new restaurant. At the time, he planned to keep the Liberty Bar open and have two restaurants.

I think Southtown is slowly headed in a good direction. With Judson Lofts 84 units almost completely gone, St. B's adding 66 units and 240ish units added at Victoria Commons, I think the neighborhood is slowly adding some life to the edge of DT proper. Another project or two and we might see reasoning as to why HEB closed the S. Presa location and recently purchased some land on Flores (not attached to their Arsenal HQ's.) It could be that they just needed extra office/parking space..?? Maybe not. It could be that a location closer to DT/King William/Lavaca would make more sense.
