Thirsty Pups Brewery

places/ChIJzVjKtiNhXIYR2dGLd1-jQVY/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURfMU51TU53EAE

This brewery is both puppy- and kid-friendly, with plenty of space to enjoy a great variety of beers and have a nice conversation. Thanks to my daughter and her husband, I got to experience it for the first time, and it was amazing! I even left with some extra beer and a t-shirt as souvenirs. It felt like a delightful break in the fabric of time—definitely looking forward to coming back.

Small establishment. Clean bathrooms. Diverse selection of beers. Flight cost like $12. They have board games so that's cool.

We love this neighborhood brewery - we have for a long time. The vibe, the pups, the delicious beer enjoyed with community - can't get much better.  BUT IT DOES....my dog 'Luna' took off last night and almost every worker and person in this place helped scour the area for her and she was found.
This place is a true community gem. It's like a modern 'Cheers.' When I took my dog back there after she was found everyone cheered like they were watching the Spurs! Go check it out! 'where everyone knows your name and your dog's name 🎶....'

I LOVE this place and can’t believe I haven’t written a review sooner. It’s SO dog friendly that there is ALWAYS a dog here making the experience just that much more enjoyable. There are always new beers to try so now matter how many times you go, there is always something new to explore. Erik and Audra, the owners, are simply the best providing excellent customer service and a friendly atmosphere

Fantastic owners! And the beer tastes like actual beer! They pay attention to details in their craft beer, and they provide a wonderful environment for customers of all ages. It's hard to come by breweries like this nowadays.

Great little brewery.  All the beers were spot on and the kitchen was really delivering some great food at very fair prices.  The schnitzel fingers, brat & seared spaetzle were all wonderfully done.  I’m not a fan of batter fries, but that’s me.  Also the house made pickled veggies were all interesting and balanced the plates out perfectly.

Unique neighborhood brewery serving up a nice variety of craft beer, there were 16 on tap when stopped in.  There is an indoor area with some bar seating, a sports area with TVs and pinball games etc...  There is also a Beer Garden with lots of room, they had some good live music while I was there on a Sunday afternoon.  Service was very good.  Overall nice place.

Beer is a Craft here!  They know how to Brew!  I recommend the kielbasa sausage dog with fries. The dog has a great flavor and the toasted pretzel bun rocks!  Fries are nice and crunchy with the peal on ends. Other menu items are amazing as well. German Schnitzel is incredible.

Ambiance: German inspired brewery with a huge outdoor patio area as well as indoor dining restaurant space and bar! This is honestly one of the best breweries in San Antonio! Amazing food and their beer list is incredible. As a wine lover, I highly recommend the Red Wine Supernova Belgian triple! One of the best beers I've ever had in my life.

Limited parking onsite as well as street parking. Does get crowded! Dog friendly and kid friendly patio space. Perfect spot for large groups and hanging out with family/friends. Very accommodating service and staff. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have come randomly throughout their years and decided to give it another try last weekend.  Surprised on how positive everything has changed as of recent.  Came home with a couple of 4 packs and a growler fill.  Environment totally different and better now too.  Keep up the positive changes!

Cool spot. Creative menu and brewery with a lot of options. Beers were good. Food was good too. Native Texan pizza is unique and works well. Burger was juicy. Sandwich was big. But the service could use some work. My friend did not get his sandwich until after everyone else finished their meal, about 10-15 minutes.

Went to try out this brewpub with friends and we had a great time!  All the beers we tried were great!  Our favorite was the Red IPA (we left with a 4 pack of that). The food was hit fresh and delicious.  It is a family friendly atmosphere and still accommodates a group of friends. They also serve brunch and had some bagels left over that they offered us and they were also delicious. We will be back with our kids next time.

A pleasant surprise, we have been trying to get here for a while and we finally made it. A small brewery, with good beer and great food! We started with a flight to taste. Then added chicken wings and pizza. All delicious 😋.

This is on its way to being another one of San Antonio's iconic spots for food and drink. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus all have unique offerings centered around homemade sourdough bread. Sourdough pancakes, buns for the sandwiches and burgers, and crust for the pizzas. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming.

Ambiance: Fun local mermaid/ocean themed brewery with indoor & a covered patio seating. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service was fast. Extensive beer options available from the Untapped App and they also offer many other drink options, like their frozen sangria. I loved the Falafel Burger - perfect for vegans or vegetarians!

Dog & kid friendly. Parking onsite. Great for large groups or hanging out with friends/family.

Heed the call and go to Dos Sirenos 🧜‍♀️!
Great spot in south town, very chill vibe, friendly folks from the second you enter.
Bella was an awesome server, fun and lots of recommendations, attentive and friendly.
Beers are top notch! Hazy was slightly cloudy, hoppy and crisp. And the fact they have an ESB, and a bloody good one, is with six stars!
Really varied menu (gotta go back for brunch someday). Spinach salad was loaded with fruit, nuts and yummy dressing. Pepperoni fried rice was an amazing surprise, who doesn’t love Italianese food!
Go for the beer, food and vibe…you won’t regret it!

This brewery has a great chill neighborhood vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. It has a mix of their own brews and other local brews on tap for a nice but not overwhelming selection. Do not miss out on the brussel sprouts! They were perfectly crispy and well seasoned. My husband and I got the focaccia sandwiches, and man, we were not disappointed! My Cubano was amazing, and my hubby's spicy Itialian was delicious as well (he allowed me one bite before devouring it!). Can't wait to try their pizza and wings!

First timers, hands down great experience overall. Wings were full of flavor. Fried pickels and cauliflower breaded lightly to perfection. Pizza, oooh so yummy! The combination of toppings, sauce and crust was just right. Service was 10/10. Great selection of beers and they were served cold.

Pearl

places/ChIJlURq7Cj1XIYRh33NkAPwyGw/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURvOW91OUhREAE

Perfect date spot, perfect walking spot, perfect place to stay, perfect place to bring your kids, just an overall amazing area to go and spend a day walking around. You can walk the river walk, see wildlife, have a photo shoot, and even fish in some spots. The market has a lovely ice cream area where you can get some cold desserts and have a seat right outside. There is a small green area for kids to play on and they have movies there sometimes.

Awesome date spot and just a go to place. Be careful with your parking, they will give tickets for not parking far enough away from the curb.

places/ChIJlURq7Cj1XIYRh33NkAPwyGw/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNvMEo3dW53RRAB

The Pearl is a great place to go when you need a bit of fresh air! All the restaurants and sights are extremely gorgeous and lovely, and the overall atmosphere is like you stepped into another world in San Antonio!

Very aesthetically pleasing views, with many recreational activities to enjoy! I definitely recommend this for date nights, or evenings out with friends as there is so much to do!

And I also recommend coming out at in the brisk of the night where the cool air flows through and all the lights come to life! Very enchanting sight to behold!

I was here at the Pearl yesterday reviewing the Central Market Rotisserie Chicken when it dawned on me. San Antonio is AWESOME. There is so much soul in this city. I've had some amazing food from Taquitos West Ave, 2M BBQ, Al Carbon Pollos Asado, etc, but what really sold me was the community feel in this city.

The Pearl is a huge walkable plaza with great restaurants, coffee shops, seating areas, a river walk, public events, etc. Yesterday there was a seemingly endless farmers market going on with local vendors selling everything you could ever need, kids playing tackle football in an open green pasture, and people just enjoying their Sunday in the sun with a beer or some fresh grub from Palmer Market. There is such a strong community here. It's infectious.

I pride myself on forming my own opinions on damn near everything, almost to a fault at times, but this weekend has made me realize that I let Charles Barkley and my hatred for the early 2000s San Antonio Spurs form my opinion on this city. Never again. I will ride or die for San Antonio for the rest of my time here on this planet.

This was a nice experience.
There are so many little shops and market-type places here with specialty shops with food, clothing,  beer 🍺,  Etc...

Parking can be a bear as there are many living quarters around.

The area is kept clean, and I do not recall seeing a lot of panhandlers around.

I didn’t eat here but next time I’m in San Antonio I probably will. It was a nice hangout spot although we just walked through it. Definitely the “it” spot where people go to hang out and relax. Some really cool eatery options but even if you don’t eat here, the vibe is just super chill. It was crowded on a Saturday night but that’s probably to be expected.

Definitely seems like the Scottsdale (AZ) or Cherry Creek (CO) of San Antonio as the prices are high, the wine is fancy, and the atmosphere screams rich but it’s a cool spot that you can’t really hate on.

The service was great! Everyone was very kind and helpful, and knowledgeable about the beer/wine selection. The dining room was spacious, with family style dining as well as a patio area. We got the Korean brisket pizza, which I highly recommend, as well as the Korean chicken sandwich, which was a bit dry but still delicious nonetheless. We’ll definitely be back!

We ordered pickup; our shawarma wrap was absolutely pathetic. Two tiny skewers of dry chicken that amounted to about half of a thinly sliced chicken breast, a large tortilla that looked like it was cooked the day before and left in the fridge to dry, and to top all the dryness of the meal off, no tzatziki (as listed) was provided. A hand full of dull veggies and no fresh herbs (as listed) to “balance” this meal out. My toddlers grilled cheese was so dry I was afraid to give it to her for fear of her choking on it. The fries provided with her meal tasted as if they were microwaved and also dry. We didn’t eat any of this crap.

Back Unturned Brewing Co.

5 ⭐️ all around. Great place to cool down, enjoy some cold beer and delicious pizza. The Salad was really good too. The entree size was more like a side salad. Get the family size instead if you are splitting it with someone else. On that note, the large is more like a medium size so I easily ate the entire entree salad and half the medium size pizza with more room in my belly. 😁 hope this helps ✌️

Stopped in for lunch - specials are a generous pizza with salad, plenty of food, brick oven prepared. Salads fresh with tasty dressing.
Very chill vibe inside. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Brewmaster at work.
Dream Juice is what a hazy should be, slightly dank, with hoppy hints and murky…but very easy drinking. Bock is malty and chocolatey, not watered down…Great flavor!

We had the Brussels sprouts (Parmesan & Garlic) and were delicious; also the Caprese Salad, and the Chorizo Hash and were excellent. Ordered the beer sampler and a strawberry lemonade Gimlet and were also great. service was also on spot, even though it was early lunch and not overly crowded our food came out quick and servers were very attentive!

The only reason this is not a five-star review is because there is road construction nearby which makes reaching the site somewhat difficult otherwise this would be a five-star review.

Really enjoyed our visit to Longtab Brewing! It took a bit longer than expected to order, but honestly, the food made it well worth the wait. The pulled pork nachos were loaded and full of flavor, the giant pretzel was warm and perfectly soft, and the brat on the pretzel bun was spot on. Great beer selection and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. We’ll definitely be back—just with a little extra patience next time!

Our biggest complaint is that the wait to order food was long and we weren’t checked on often. We would have spent more money, y’all!

I had a great bartender, Alyssa, who let me sample some of the beers. Her service was amazing! The beer I selected was an amber beer. It was really good. We also had fried pickles & they were absolutely delicious! I cannot wait to go back, hopefully I can make it out to trivia night!

Edit:

I returned today and got a pretzel w/ cheese! It was delicious!

My son got the chicken salad and ate the sausage that came with my pretzel, since I am vegetarian.

🙏🏼I am hoping they add more vegan/gluten-free items to the menu (I kinda broke my new diet today and ate a small bit of the pretzel so I could socialize close to home and support small business) I WFH so it's nice to get out and about.

Really nice experience when I go. Never have a bad time. The environment is super chill. They are a beer focused station so you will find a variety of beers on taps. For you cider lovers unfortunately they only have 2 usually on tap. They do have wine but do nit expect the wine to be from vineyards of France. However it is a nice place and the Mikes Special Pizza is on point. Thin crust pizza with pep and cheese drizzled with hot hunny. Yummy! Staff is always friendly. Go check this place out always a good time and chill vibe.

This is a perfect spot for enjoying some beers and food. It’s a small place with a few TVs and chill vibes. The person who helped us was nice and attentive. The beer menu is huge, I had a hard time deciding since they don’t do tasters or flights. Ultimately I tried a couple of Texas IPAs. For food, we tried to breadsticks (just okay) and a few pizzas (not easy being green, spicy meat sweats, and the Texas Twinkie. They were all really good.

We love hanging out at this place!

Joey, the owner, is so friendly and goes out of his way to make sure his customers are happy and having a good time.

You definitely have to come open minded to try beer that you’ve never had before! They definitely have some interesting selections. (Interesting in a good way!!)

If you come hungry, be sure to try one of their pizzas. They come out so fast, fresh and so delicious! We tried the White out and the Spicy Meat Sweats (we added jalapeños) both were 10/10 delicious!

Today is their 7 year anniversary and it was so nice to see how many people support this awesome place.

places/ChIJQTwZ3kv1XIYRmh4d2kgxTrM/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURKNnJyc2RBEAE

Ordered 2 pizzas and beer at the counter. 30 minutes and 2 orders after us I inquired about our food. Turns out our ticket was "lost"  15 mins later and 2 more orders our pizza came out.
We were offered a 10% discount for our trouble.
Pizzas were very good and a good variety of beer selections.

Roadmap Brewing Co.

Roadmap Brewing Co. is an awesome spot with a ton of great beers to choose from. This place probably has my favorite beers in San Antonio so far. The space is pretty large, so there’s plenty of room to spread out and relax. One of the best parts—it’s dog friendly inside, which was a huge plus on a hot day. Great atmosphere, great brews, and very welcoming for both people and pups. Highly recommend!

Visited this brewery in October while in San Antonio for the beer festival. Loved the selection on tap and the place was super chill to hang out. Would definitely go back.

Awesome little dog-friendly brewery! Roadmap Brewing has a wide variety of unique beers to choose from, and they offer great happy hour specials.
We were thrilled that our dogs were welcome inside, especially since it was a bit warmer than we had hoped for when we planned our trip.
The brewery itself is very clean and spacious. Highly recommend!

Roadmap Brewing Co., which is located off of North Alamo Street in San Antonio, Texas, is a great spot for craft beer & cider in SATX!! The vibes inside Roadmap are excellent, as it is a doggo friendly spot, they have a large projector displaying local sports, and the place is immaculately clean + well-kept. The staff at Roadmap are SO nice, which really enhances the experience when you visit. They have WiFi, so it's a convenient spot for a little drink while you study or do some work. It's also a great spot to gather with friends + family, as they have lots of tables and seating available throughout the brewery. It's spacious, while also being cozy & comfortable. They also have merch for sale in the front when you order! Although they do not have a full kitchen or food menu available, there is a food truck that is situated outside (Last Place Burgers) - it's a nice touch if you're looking for a bite while you're on their campus! :-)

Favorite brewery-bar experience during my week vacation to Austin- Waxahachee- San Antonio. Terrific brews, wonderful and knowledgeable barkeep who is actually into craft beer, and the absolute best in friendly regulars at the bar. Great conversation including with a 26-y.o. young lady who is doing her part to buck drinking and socializing trends that are hurting craft breweries nationwide! My visit here was a highlight of my Texas visit.

Bartender was nice. Live music was good, first time drinking at a bar and I'd say it was great. Area was clean, atmosphere was good, not super crowded.

places/ChIJD5kPectCXIYRg13x2w6BbyA/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURud0pLVWtnRRAB

First time going,  and we really enjoyed ourselves. The bartender, sorry bad with names, was really awesome.  He knew what he was taking about and gave some samples. I found a blueberry lemonade I liked.  The menu was Greek food, & it was delicious! Truffle garlic fries are delicious! Love, we can bring our dog. There's an outdoor area and gaming section indoors. We need to bring more people next time we go.  Def recommend.

places/ChIJD5kPectCXIYRg13x2w6BbyA/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNIeUtTd3N3RRAB

We had a great time here last night! The live entertainment was absolutely amazing! J-Nicole brought the fire with acoustic covers. This is a pretty laid-back place. It's good for conversation and catching up with friends while drinking an awesome beer. The beer selections are plentiful. Let me just say that my wife hates beer, but she loved their #2 fruity beer!
The food menu isn't really extensive, but what they have is good. The chicken tenders are actually real chicken... not processed or frozen. The Asada fries were really good! I'm looking forward to going back soon and hope they keep the live music coming. San Antonio definitely needs more venues like this.

The craft beer on the board is immaculate and alway versatile with the selection Also, a good selection of liquor, Jordyn and Ashlynn Very attentive and friendly. The two dogs they have there are very friendly Debo and Molly very clean bar great atmosphere. Have a comfortable outside seating area as well where you can bring your drinks out with you!

places/ChIJD5kPectCXIYRg13x2w6BbyA/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNneXF5SVlREAE

Beer selection on tap looks good as usual. My biggest critiques today are

1. When we walked in the was one customer (I'm guessing) there and we didn't even get a greeting of any sort.
2. After standing directly at the bar for a few minutes the bartender finally acknowledged us and asked if we wanted anything.
3. They no longer offer samples.

They have something like 40 things on tap and not having a sample is kind of ridiculous given that every bar that has beer selections like this give tasters. If they're concerned about losing money on samples or to prevent people from getting sample after sample, there's ways to prevent this. They could limit samples. They could charge $1 for samples (one place charges $0.50 for each sample.) But reading a name on the board doesn't tell me much about the beer and buying a growler of beer you don't like sucks. I'll stick to The Flying Saucer, Big Hops, or even Yard House (I know they don't fill growlers.) But they give you samples and have better customer service even when they're packed out.

This brewery has lots of room, a big, high ceiling indoor area; it has at least one outdoor area, maybe more.  Really cool, cool vibe, see my pictures for how spacious and colorful it is.  The service is outstanding, I sat at the bar and did not want for anything.  The food looks great, I didn't eat.  They had about 10 beers on tap and I tried 9, on two flights, above average beer...  Overall, a very nice place.

Super chill brewery. Beers are great, I've had the food before (pizza and spinach dip), and they are very tasty. I'm a fan of their sour beers like Ananke, Fortuna roja and Texas harvest. Service is always great, very hospitable and clean! Love freetail brewery!

I absolutely love this place. The bar tenders and servers are super nice and chill. The beer is great with awesome variety. It's a shame this place is closing at the end of the month. I am *completely* devastated as this is a local gem to me and cool community. The other location is too far so I can't go frequently like this one. Please owners if you are reading this, consider keeping this open even as just a taproom. Every time I go here the staff and local community is so chill. Please don't close it down 😭

Was looking for a place to go with a large party to get the San Antonio experience and came across this place. From other reviews it appeared to be good food and decent prices, so we gave it a shot. We were seated quickly, place was beautiful and the vibe was great. We tried the beer flight which I definitely recommend. The rest of the food was good, however service was lacking a bit as there were drinks sitting empty, one drink was wrong and didn’t get switched until the end of the meal and members of our party waited for parts of their order for a bit before they could eat.

places/ChIJszniNvT1XIYRztK4HoRRv4I/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJeml0TmZJNy1PY0F3EAE

We had a wonderful lunch at Southerleigh! The industrial-chic setting inside the historic Pearl Brewery is absolutely stunning — rustic charm meets elevated style, with brewing tanks overhead and vintage details throughout.

We ordered the House Salad, which was fresh and crunchy with romaine, pickles, tomatoes, shaved cheese, and a creamy house dressing on the side — simple but flavorful. The Melon & Berries dish was bright and refreshing, loaded with watermelon, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, and a touch of mint, paired with a whipped cream topping that brought it all together beautifully.

I also had a Ritual Tequila NA cocktail (from their non-alcoholic menu), and it was absolutely delicious — fruity, zesty, and beautifully presented with a chili rim and dried citrus slice.

We had an excellent meal here. We enjoyed the fried chicken and hanger steak with Chimichurri sauce. The mashed potatoes, jalapeño grits, and broccolini were nice accompaniments. For appetizers, we ordered the corn bread, wood-fired pretzel, and warm carrot ginger soup. We liked the soup and dipping sauce for the pretzel the best. Our service was attentive. We highly recommend this restaurant. It's located in a quaint spot that offers a welcoming outdoor space.

We happened to stop in here for dinner and it was great. Atmosphere, beer, and food were all really good. The snapper appetizer was unique and very tasty. The pork chop was one of the best most flavorful I’ve had. And the antelope dish was a great try. Don’t sleep on the Mac and cheese it was really good and I usually skip that. Beer selection was nice and flights allowed me to try all 8 on tap. Servers were great and timely. There’s a whole second section more like a lounge we didn’t check out. Would go back.

One of the best restaurants in San Antonio! Their fried chicken is so good, I would put them up against a lot of other places. The seasoning is perfection and the Crystal butter add a subtle kick that is just enough, even for those who don't enjoy the spicy side of life. The chicken n waffles is a must!

I look forward to trying the fish sandwich and the chicken sandwich.

The Hoppy Monk

Absolutely Phenomenal! Worth a Flight!

The Hoppy Monk is an absolute gem! Our bartender, Nina, was fantastic—super knowledgeable about their incredible beer selection, which features a long list of unique and carefully curated brews. She helped us navigate the options perfectly.

For food, Nina recommended the Bacon Jam and Egg Burger, and WOW—this might just be the best burger I’ve ever had. It’s made with Akaushi TX beef, topped with a perfectly fried egg, rich bacon marmalade, aged cheddar, fresh wild arugula, and aioli. Every bite was mind-blowing. If you love burgers, this one is worth flying to San Antonio for!

The service was top-notch, the beer selection is unreal, and the atmosphere is just perfect. Whether you’re a local or visiting, this place is a must. Can’t wait to come back!

Love this place! The drinks are always on point — big shoutout to Jess and Nina for mixing up some seriously good cocktails. They know their stuff and are super chill. Also gotta mention Josh — funniest server I’ve had in a while and super quick with everything. The whole vibe at Hoppy Monk is just solid. Definitely one of my go-to spots in San Antonio.

***editing that while this is still one of my go to spots, it’s been literally so hot lately inside that’s it’s almost unbearable. I know it’s the weather, but there’s gotta be some relief 🥵🥵 - especially yesterday like it’s June, please turn on the a/c or get some fans 😭***

This monastery is dedicated to the celebration of excellent beer and delicious food!  I had a great time here. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help with making a selection from their large selection on draft.  They also serve cocktails and flights of whiskey, tequila, and beer.  The atmosphere is fantastic and comfortable, I really like the beams in the ceiling. I chose to check this place out based almost entirely on the name.  I wasn't disappointed at all! The quality of the food they serve is beyond my expectation.  It is clear that the people responsible are really passionate and talented.  The entire experience was enjoyable. If I lived around here, I would be a regular.

Drinks were tasty and refreshing. Play area for kids was decent. Thats where the positives stop.

Only about half the food we ordered was edible due to the intense level of salt. Food is pretty pricey for mostly just being dropped in a fryer. The bathroom was so disguising I almost threw up. I just held it for a gas station. The place was super dead at lunch time on a Sunday which should have been a red flag.

This location is relaxed and family friendly before 9pm. They have craft beer on tap. A full bar. Daily specials. Happy hour. TVs for sports. Small kitchen. Outdoor picnic tables. Simple playground to keep the kids busy. Adjacent to small business & one other bar. I would not recommend walking to this location from downtown. There are homeless in the area. Once at the location it does feel safer to walk The parking & location do feel safe.

I met some friends here for a drink, and I was surprised at how spacious this place is once you walk through the doors. They have a huge outdoor area with a play area for kids. So don't let "Beer Garden" lead you to think this isn't a family place.
With plenty of room to spread out, this would be a nice place to hang out anytime, or especially if you might be seeing a show at the Alamo Dome.
They have a variety of beer on draft, and their frozen margaritas pack a puch...so pace yourself!
