My family and I walked into Back Unturned about 30 minutes before the kitchen closed (Shame on us), but the staff graciously welcomed us and offered us last call on food. We had a pizza, pretzel twists, and some wings. The hospitality was spot on and the staff were extremely polite. It was our first time visiting the brewery and we loved it. Totally stoked We will certainly be back and make sure that when family is in town we'll bring them by as well. Gig 'Em! read more

Came here for lunch - loved the atmosphere, fantastic playlist and service! Could not enjoy their beers as it was a work lunch! Got the salad and pizza combo but so apparently did everyone else and with one person making the pizzas it was at least 35 minutes until we received ours and a good 20 minutes after we finished our salad - thankfully we had some time to spare! Salad was good - pizza good but for being prepared on the spot was okay - dough was a let down and it does not collapsed with Wild Barely or Pinthouse - good but not great! read more

I've been a long time customer to this establishment and enjoyed cocktails, (no longer an option here), exceptional beer , really good wings and pizza. Recently the waiters were all changed and cocktail service ended. We've been loyal customers so we decided to give the new crew the benefit of the doubt. We decided to grab some beers and watch the end of the Spurs game. The Brewery closes at 11:00, a waiter 5 minutes earlier closed our ticket courteously because they were closing. At 10:59 an employee, supposedly a manager, behind the bar, not assisting with any closing duties, rudely said in a loud voice " We're closing and shutting off the TV" Before that was said there was 50 seconds left in the game and we were putting on our coats. I said in response "this place sure has changed." Last time I encountered such rudeness was at the restaurant Ocho, also near the Riverwalk. They are now out of business. We will not be returning, sometime in the future we will look in to see if this person is still working here (though we have not seen her do much working besides lurk behind the bar and the ladies room door. Customer service is one of foundations of of any good business, hopefully this establishment will return to it's previous standards. read more

Tucked away off of Brooklyn Ave, Back Unturned is brewing up some award winning beer. The coffee stout is like Guinness on steroids. The Dream Juice reminds me of a more sour Purple Haze. The pizza is so good I get the same spicy Hawaiian one without ham every time. Topped with jalapenos and some kind of spicy sauce that goes perfectly with the beer. I like that you can order a flight of smaller beers that way it's easier to try different ones. If it's nice outside the lock and dam part of the river is a short walk up. read more

BLUF: Great beer, great food, and great service. Highly recommend you check this place out if you're a fan of craft beer and supporting local businesses. Back Unturned is easily one of my favorite local breweries in San Antonio. Their beer is fantastic, with a few staples, and some constantly rotating innovative taps. Their most popular beer, Dream Juice, is a fruit forward hazy IPA that always quenches my thirst, and a beer I've introduced many a non-beer drinker to with very positive feedback. Their take on an Oktoberfest, Backtoberfest, has been my go to choice lately, and I'll be sad to see that keg dry up. They offer flights of beer, giving you an opportunity to sample four beers of your choice, and their beers are listed on Untappd if you're a user. Many foods pair well with beer, but perhaps none better than pizza and wings, which happens to be their primary culinary offering. They do a limited pizza almost every month, and I haven't had one that wasn't a hit. Their mainstays are delicious as well, highly recommend the Spicy Hawaiian. (Pineapple belonging on pizza is a hill I'll die on) The venue is small and very inviting, walk in and grab an open seat wherever you'd like. They're dog friendly, and this is one of my favorite local spots to bring my pup. Service is top notch, and I've always been greeted warmly by their staff, and rarely have I had to suffer an empty glass for too long. Things worth knowing ahead of time: No dedicated parking lot, but there's ample parking within a city block at either the Maker's Market lot or the lot behind their building, both of which I believe are paid. Dog friendly inside, limited outdoor seating available as well. Trivia by Live Trivia the second and fourth Mondays of the month. They used to have a full bar, but no longer offer that, limited to beer and a few wine options, beer being the obvious standout here. They offer a weekend brunch, haven't tried it yet but it's on my to-do list. read more

First time eating at this establishment, a friend chose this location for lunch. They have a nice lunch menu. I ordered a personal pizza that was recommended by our waiter. It was different in a good way, a lot of flavors in one pizza. The atmosphere was have small brewery vibes, not very big but it was a nice size with just enough seating. Our waiter was very nice, he was very patient going through the menu which had a good number of options. I can't give a review on the beers, cuz that's not my thing. A friend tried 3 IPAs and he liked 2 of the 3. read more

I've been here a couple times now, with family and friends, and the pizza is always SO GOOD. It comes out of their pizza oven fresh and hot. Of course the beers are good too, with options for everyone from ciders to beer to floats. The service is quick and friendly. The space is always clean and they're on top of cleaning/resetting tables right after people leave. read more

Back Unturned Brewing - Chicken bacon ranch pizza - Brewpubs Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I'd give this place 5 stars if the girl tending the bar was more welcoming. Or even remotely friendly. If you're coming to taste beer, this is your first point of contact. It was a bummer. Jow about a hi? Welcome? Something? Nope. But it's about the beer, right? Amazing variety of craft brews. Truly enjoyed them immensely. Of the multiple breweries within a few blocks in the area, Back Unturned was my favorite by far, because i enjoyed the atmosphere and their food choices. Others in area don't have good food offerings like here does. The lack of conversation sitting at bar lead me to move to table, where there are multiple big screen TVs with sports. Rather watch that. (place is literally 2 people at tables and i am alone at bar) In making my move, i noticed a wood fired oven. Asked for menu, and decided to order a pizza. Disclaimer: i am native New Yorker and Italian, which makes me a pizza snob. Well let me tell ya, this pizza is LEGIT. I got the "small" round pie, which was much larger than i expected. Taste, crust, sauce, cheese toppings..perfect ratio and all so yummy! And the young lady who was the server for rest of brewery was delightful, friendly and helpful eith questions. My beer selections, i tend to gravitate to IPAs but decided to branch out. Loved the Dank Sinatra IPA & United IPA. Queen ??? Don't remember rest of name was a lighter lager but full of flavor. Paradise was my least favorite. I loved my short stay in San Antonio. Already planning return trip, and when i do..definitely coming back here. read more

Back Unturned Brewing - Tasting flight - Brewpubs Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Went here for happy hour on a Thursday evening with some of my coworkers. Staff were very friendly but with the high volume some of the drinks arrived after a lot of time. My friend ordered a drink that still didn't arrive after 20 minutes, so we asked a different server if the ETA. She didn't see it in the system so we reordered but both drinks arrived shortly after. Also I made the mistake of ordering the strawberry basil lemonade with a shot of vodka not knowing that it would be $20 for just that drink. This was very surprising because I ordered wine and a pizza earlier that totaled to the same amount. Overall the place was spacious and had card games available which made it fun. We also did a little karaoke. While it is a bar, there were lots of kids there and it's a very family friendly vibe. read more

This place was recommended to me and I decided to take my elderly mother there before a show at the Tobin center. It started off on a good foot, I loved the location and ambiance! We were brought menus by our server (won't say his name here) and he proceeded to sit down and wait for us to order...not allowing us time to review the menu. He asked why we were downtown and I shared I was taking my mom to the dallas cowboys cheerleader show and he said "oh I'd love to go see them too but I'd get in trouble with my wife" which was distasteful, in my opinion. It felt rushed and uncomfortable. We ordered a pizza and a salad with chicken. I asked for the chicken to be cold (server asked if I wanted it hot or cold) and requested no croutons. Server left, food came fast! The salad was wrong. The chicken was hot, wilted the lettuce, and it had croutons. No big deal, I just picked out the croutons and bad lettuce and put the chicken on a separate plate. The dressing was fantastic! You could tell the pizza crust was fresh. A bit too thin for my taste in the middle, causing it to be soggy, but it had great flavor. Server did not come back until we were finished. Never asked how it was, if we needed anything, etc. He picked up the pizza plate and I tried handing him my salad bowl and he left me hanging and walked away. Okie doke. We ordered a bottle of the wine to go because my mom loved it. My mom said something about putting it in the trunk and the server was like why would you put my wine in the trunk...like we were being disrespectful...and my mom said it was just safer. Maybe he was joking, but it didn't seem like it. He brings the kiosk to pay and it's on the payment screen....i asked to see what I was paying for and he said I can see after I pay. What? Lol I then was calculating the tip and thinking through taking the bottle of wine to-go off the total for the tip (because why would we tip on that) and he stood there, making me uncomfortable and rushed again, and started telling me that it's generally best to tip 25%, as if we were teenagers who have never eaten out before. He said oh well that's probably bc I work in this industry, to which my mom told him that we both have worked as servers for many years. All in all, great parking (unclear about the back lot....their instagram said it was free, but the signs say it's for Pete's restaurant only, so we parked in the front), cool atmosphere, good pizza crust, and wine. The down side was the service, feeling rushed, uncomfortable, and ultimately disrespected. I don't see us returning, but that's okay. Happy we could support a small business for that night. read more

My sister recommended because I am a huge fan of breweries and brewery food! The service was great, all of the staff was helpful and attentive. The food was great. The wings alone are worth a return trip! The ranch was ! We tried several beers and they were all good! Can't remember exactly which ones we got but I have zero complaints! The place is on the smaller side but big enough to host plenty of people. We will be back! read more

Definitely do not recommend this place. I don't reside in San Antonio but I like to give businesses a try. My grandkids wanted pizza. So I looked up a place nearby cuz we had just left Hopscotch Museum. This was on Wednesday on the month of July. The website shows that they close at 11pm. I arrived at 10pm and the host approached and told me that they had already closed the kitchen and weren't serving anymore. I was really disappointed. I even pointed out how it clearly states their hours of operation is until 11pm. But he still told us they were basically closing. There were some chairs stacked by the door. It just seemed like they don't care to have business. I should have gotten his name. I have never eaten there. I definitely won't be going again. They don't care to have customers. read more

I started with the Come and Drink It beer which was light and refreshing. I ordered the Pepperoni Gorgonzola pizza for dinner and was very surprised at how delicious and light it was, to where I ordered a slice of the Cheesecake with berry compote for dessert. This was a surprisingly light Cheesecake and very good. This is a nice little brewery with good drinks and food. read more

The bad was the service. We order two 8" pizzas. You would think those would come out within 20min..nope. An hr and 10 we finally got our pizzas. My magherita pizza crust was burnt. Should of taken a picture. The waiters excuse for it taking so long was that they had a large to go order. I emphasize "excuse". Needless to say I wont be going back. read more

Normally would give this place 5 stars , as we are regular patrons. But unfortunately they fired the one employee that was one of the main reasons we drove all the way from Stone Oak to enjoy some pizza and beer. Shawn was a real one. Always smiling , made us and everyone else feel so welcome. Knew what we liked to order, super engaging, and just made the experience more than the pizza and beer. Made the experience like hanging out with friends. I doubt we will bother to return... since the people always matter a little more than the food. People like Shawn are rare in the service industry, and the owner just lost a gem. read more

Hailey is very creative with the monthly pizzas, and for what we have tried so far, they are very unique and SUPER tasty. We had the shrimp scampi pizza which was amazing. Hailey was very welcoming as well as Gabriella. We will definitely back! Great food, great beers, great service, and not to forget, a chef with a flair for pizza that's not just pepperoni. Well done!!! Sorry the pizza was gone before we took pictures... my bad read more

AMAZING brewery in San Antonio. I absolutely loved the bold flavors. While we didn't get food, everything they were cooking smelled phenomenal! What made the experience even better was the staff. We sat at the bar and the servers were stellar and attentive. They were engaging and friendly. This felt like our corner pub where we were old friends with everything. read more

Walked in Sunday says open until 10pm walked in at 8:45 said the were closing at 9. WTH??? They lost my business How could they improve? Stick to their posted business hours and serve their customers! Lame read more

Service is solid, knowledgeable. The place has a cluttered quality about it with bulk ingredients sitting out along the edges of the dining/drinking area. It also isn't the largest venue, but they have some seating outside on the sidewalk. Beers are ok, but it would be nice to have a bit more of a variety. Pizza is pretty mediocre, if I'm being honest. But I guess I shouldn't expect more from a pizza place in San Antonio. I'd probably come back if they get something on tap that I enjoy more, but as it stands, I'd probably don't need to come back. Definitely rating this up b/c of the experience and staff being so friendly and helpful. read more

I can't say enough great things about this place! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and laid-back. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and were incredibly attentive throughout our visit. You can tell they love what they do and it shows. The beer selection was diverse and expertly crafted whether you're into hoppy IPAs, rich stouts, or crisp lagers, there's something for everyone. I especially loved the cocktails which were perfectly balanced and super refreshing. As for the food, WOW. This is not your average brewery fare. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Great atmosphere, exceptional service, and an experience I'll definitely be repeating. If you haven't checked this place out yet, do yourself a favor and go! read more

Bar is right near the Riverwalk. Came here on a Sunday afternoon with friends and they were able to accommodate a large group. Great place to go to watch football if you want too. Their beer is available in 5.75, 10, 16 or 32 oz at reasonable price. I got their Blue Suede Shoes beer which is a blueberry sour. It was a delicious beer. Will def come back in the future to try some others. Got two pizzas as well that they cook at their brick oven. It did take a while for the food to get to us but they were cooked nicely. Reminded me of NYC pizza that I'm used to growing up. They offer a military discount on food :) read more

Busy on a Thursday. Beer was decent, cocktail was ok. The pizza was a little salty but good crust and toppings overall got the pepperoni Gorgonzola. The wings were the opposite of crispy and not what I was expecting, no crisp at all. The sauce and ranch for the wings were very good. read more

Small, intimate, but awesome beer lineup. Brews rotate with the seasons but I had the Biily Goat IPA. Very tasty. Vats on display. Was very tempted by the 1 lb of wings offering, but opted for the Campagnola pizza. Excellent! Baked just right. Atmosphere is excellent with rock music that doesn't suck. Staff is great. Pia knows her beer, can offer suggestions, and an all around nice person. The only downside is the place is small and there's only 1 TV. If you're coming to watch " the game" y'all better agree on what that game is. I did not see any offsale options, but I wasn't looking that carefully either. read more

This brewery has bigtime party atmosphere when I was here. This seemed to be the brewery equivalent of the last bar you go to to close down the night. I do not say that as a negative though, not at all. There SHOULD be some breweries to fill that niche! There were lots of breweries on the board, from all over the spectrum. I ended up going a "beer" that amounted to an alcoholic Gingerbeer and...it was really, really good! Big bursts of spicy ginger without any sweet or cloying flavors. The finish was nice and dry, just like I like it! The other highlight, for me, was a piece of art depicting Chester Bennington (RIP). read more

My colleague and I had a really great time there. Seems like a local, family establishment. Great attitude from everyone we met there. The beer was vey good - I had a flight, and found most of them really excellent. I do like dark beer, but found the Jorts brew a little medicinal for my taste. You really couldn't go wrong though. My colleague had the roasted brussels sprouts, and they were good - this from someone who hates the things. I had the spicy Hawaiian, and would definitely recommend and have again. They weren't fooling with the jalapenos that they put on it - so just be aware. I would definitely recommend and would go back. read more

Pretty small place. Staff was super friendly. Came back to check on us plenty often. Drink reviews on untapped. Formaggio Bacon 8/10 The cheese combination was good, the bacon was not super bacon flavored. And the rosemary flavor came through a lot, I kinda wish there was less rosemary and more bacon flavor. read more

One word to describe it all? DELICIOUS! The pizza we had was the monthly special and was to die for! The sandwich lunch combo was absolutely bursting with flavor and the drinks were top notch! The story behind the company and the founders is truly inspiring and you can tell the staff support it as well! Our server (I wish I had gotten his name) was a pure ray of light and comedy and gave us the best service we've had around the area! The atmosphere is perfect for a cozy dinner date or quick lunch bite! read more

First visit. I recommend. Visited at 2pm on a spring Saturday in March. It was a quick stop because we were on a bar trolley tour. Open seating. We had beer mimosa and asked for a fruitty shot.

Stopped here for the pair of pizza and beer. The beer is definitely a must. We tried their Octoberfest beers and all were pretty tasty. I can't recall which one it was but they had one that gave me a hint of dark roast coffee so definitely a must try. The pizza for sure was good but unfortunately the wings were not. I'm sad to report that they gave me Pizza Hut or dominos vibes. Ugh. It hurt typing that. I love wings so I wanted them to be good. Just stick to the pizza. However the service was lacking a bit. I totally I didn't want it to but it did. There was about 3 times were we went to ask for refills, plates, napkins and our check. It wasn't busy for a Friday night so I expected more. The overall vibes are nice. I mean the place looks nice from the bar that used to be there. They definitely changed it. They have games that you can play with which is cool. If you are nearby definitely get you some beer and pizza and that is it. read more

They were nice enough to let our sleepy pup inside since it was a bit hot out so that was a big plus. They have alot to choose from on the menu it's not just beer, they have mimosas and frozen cocktails as well. Food menu also has a variety of options. The focaccia is a favorite! read more
