    New years nachos and champagne
    Terrance G.

    Ended up celebrating new years 2026 here. They have a large patio and a good selection of beers and cocktails. They'll let have an outdoor area by the river walk and also have live musicians almost nightly it felt like. Overall a good spot to stop in for a drink and some good bratwurst

    Prost Haus

    What a fun hidden gem in the downtown area. This spot was recently renovated and has had a facelift for about three years. They had happy hour specials on a Sunday which was a nice touch. I also appreciate how they have live music free daily. This bar features a wide array including a bad ass beer tap wall. The decor is super nice and creates a great vibe. Also - the AC in here is popping! Check out their outdoor garden.

    I hadn't done the river walk in many years and it was fun to be back again doing the touristy stuff. We stopped at Prost right along the walk for a nice Bavarian-style lunch. I had a brat platter with a beer that was really good. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal as did our dog who had scrambled eggs. We sat outside of this almost sprawling venue; as they seem to have a lot of space with both indoor and outdoor bars and seating. The weather was warm and sunny but the exterior layout along the water made it more pleasant. I want to go back to check out Alchemy which is their cocktail bar that had all sorts of interesting offerings on the menu. Service was great, everyone loved our dog and wanted to meet him. That is always a plus for us, even if he doesn't want to meet them. HAHA.

    Closed. Now is Buffalo Blue. Still have the pretzel. And the 1L beer mugs... new menu looks good but gone is the German menu.

    Love the vibes. The inside decor is very girly and unexpected for a German restaurant/bar but it's very cute. We sat outside to enjoy the live music. Outside seating also comes at the risk of some bugs and birds but also a view of the river walk and passing barges. Food was excellent, drinks overpriced but that's expected on the river walk.

    We went here during one of the coldest weeks in San Antonio. Walked in from the river walk, not busy but also unsure where to sit. After a couple of minutes we were told to grab a seat anywhere. Food was good, service was super friendly. I would recommend this place, especially when it's warmer and you can sit outside and enjoy the scenery, music and the river walk.

    Cherry Bath Bomb, off of the Alchemy menu!

    Came here several nights in a row while I was in town for business. Absolutely loved the outside swings and patio. Such a great vibe. We took advantage of the "secret" drink menu and I think our group must have tried almost all of them over our week long trip. They were delicious and creative and served with flair! Can't wait to come back and maybe actually try some food next time!

    Nestled yards away from the famous riverwalk is a wonderful little German bar that warrants attention. I love themed bars especially those from far away lands. After a good long walk by the "river" I was parched and among all the other possible options, I settled in on Prost Haus. The outside is unassuming enough, fitting in nicely with the San Antonio vibe of white slate stone, trees providing some shade here and there, live music and a few places to sit. However, walking in the vibe switches to more foreign influenced. There some artificial plants hanging to create an ambiance of nature. What really catches the eye are all the nice touches of German culture, WW1 helmets in a hollowed-out keg, steins here and there, grey stucko walls that resemble the movie tavern from Inglorious Bastards, replica crowns and so on. My eyes were drawn to the behind the bar area as it really felt authentic. Kegs protrude from the wall; a nineteenth turn of the century tap system and the German nation bird the Golden Eagle. Yes, there are TVs mounted around however it's done tastefully to not interfere with the attention to details. Generally, I do attempt to grab some grub however I had already eaten for the night so I can't speak on the food however the fellow bar patrons assured me what they had was really good. Speaking of bar flies, I'm from Charleston SC and the Texas Longhorns were playing. While wanting to subtlety jab the "hook-em" fan I mentioned how Clemson had won two titles in the last decade and "has UT ever won anything?" For the record I know they beat USC is one of the greatest title games but I wanted to have fun with their fans. From there I made a friend for the night. The point is, there customers here are very friendly and able to hold a conversation. My cocktail and my girlfriends drink were very good. Along with our drinks there are many adult beverage options for any number of tastes such as wine, liquor or beer. The staff is very friendly and quick to fill the order with a smile and small talk. Overall, this is a great place to drop in and unwind for the night, get some grub or watch whatever sporting events you may enjoy. The place is safe and outback gets roaring later at night as I walked by when I left. It's a very fun atmosphere and offers everyone a chance to unwind and enjoy living.

    Our food was delicious and the server attentive. Nice atmosphere. The only thing was the live music was too loud, but other than that, good place to have dinner!

    Pretzel was HUGE but delicious!

    It was our first time here and It won't be our last! Avery provided great customer service. The atmosphere and food were GREAT! Bonus is having live music and he takes request! Definitely a spot to check out!

    A wonderful dining experience in a pleasant location directly on the Riverwalk. The seating area is comfortable and the waitstaff friendly. Games are available to play at the tables. My chicken schnitzel sandwich tasted delicious. I will dine here again when at the Riverwalk.

    Sausage paddle and one Bavarian pretzel
    David R.

    Stopped in at Prost after a busy morning on the riverwalk and it was just what we needed - a place with some good, simple food, plenty of shade and misters on a hot San Antonio summer day. Prost is prominently situated on the riverwalk, so its an easy find just at the doorstep of La Villita. As its name suggests, it is a German-style biergarten. Our little one loves jumbo pretzels, so ordering the Bavarian Pretzel for him was a simple decision. For the two of us, we ordered we split a sausage paddle that had Bratwurst and Knockwurst. All the food was great and love the concept of the paddles that provide some of your favorite biergarten-type foods with also some customization. Like so many places on the riverwalk, we had a fine time at Prost, Texas heat notwithstanding and plan to make this a regular stop during our Riverwalk jaunts.

    I was attending a work conference in San Antonio. My colleagues and I attended two vendor functions, both held at Prost, before heading to dinner at Boudro's. Prost is a Bavarian restaurant and bar housed in a mid-19th century rock building located on the Riverwalk between La Villita and the Hilton Palacio del Rio. The interior architecture is a charming throwback to bars past. Prost is also host to an amazing outdoor terrace patio bar overlooking the Riverwalk. The patio features a nightly lineup of local bands and DJs and giant Texas-sized Jenga blocks and other games. If that wasn't enough fun, the Prost also houses the Alchemy Lounge, a speakeasy-style space featuring innovative cocktails. Function guests were treated to a catered variety of Prost starters and Happy Hour specials, including Prost Wings, Deviled Eggs, Prost Chili Cheese Fries, Reuben Egg Rolls, Fried Pickles, Mozzarella Sticks, Fried Mushrooms, and Onion Rings. We also ordered a round (or two) of margaritas. The beverages were solid, but definitely on the strong side. Service was on the slow side; however, there were two large vendor functions and other patrons, so the bar was understandably slammed. I look forward to visiting on a less busy evening in San Antonio to fully soak up the patio vibes.

Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the lime chess pie. In general, I adore chess pies but the lime flavor just didn't pair well with the custard filling.

For starters, we had the French Onion Soup and the Wedge Salad. The soup was good, it was on the sweeter side though which wasn't my favorite. The salad was fresh, crunchy, and light. Definitely a highlight! For the main course, we had the 8oz Filet, 16oz Ribeye, and the Char-Grilled Jumbo Shrimp. This is what made this steakhouse standout to me. Everything was season and cooked to perfection. The side of the Brandy Mushroom Sauce was a great addition to the steak. The Filet was soft, juicy, and just perfect in every bite. The Ribeye was full of flavor and overall was a very good steak. The shrimp was some of the best shrimp I've had. The seasoning was impeccable, it was juicy, and tasty. For sides, we had the Baked Potato and Broccoli. The potato was a 10/10 and you were able to add more or less of what you wanted with the do it yourself style. I loved it! The broccoli was cooked great it was just very saturated in a pool of olive oil. Finally, dessert was a huge highlight and I loved every single bite. We got the Triple Chocolate Double Fudge Brownie. It was like eating a molten lava cake as a brownie. It was soft, gooey, chocolatey, fudgey, and everything you would want from a brownie and so much more. If you have not tried this steakhouse and are in the area of San Antonio, you need to come here because it will not disappoint by any means!

Our twelve guests ranged in age from 14-79 years, and everyone had a wonderful experience. We began with waters for the table, soft drinks, and cocktails/mocktails (Man Walks into a Bar, Amba No. 5, Don Alberto, Green Shug Collins). Due to our large party, we had booked a chef's tasting experience, which was spectacular. The appetizers were plentiful, flavorful, and unique. Our server, Anissa, did a wonderful job of explaining each dish-- its components, highlights, even suggesting that after finishing the beef dumplings, we stir the oil and yogurt together for an amazing pita dipping sauce. Our meal included four meats-- actually five, considering an off menu chef's creation for our pescatarian guest. It was such an immersive experience, I never took out my phone to capture photos of the food (or our group, sadly). Three desserts topped off the evening. When (not if) we return, we'll certainly request Anissa again. She made the evening a complete delight, even bringing out celebratory candles for our honored guests.

So we went for the $65 pp Table of Joy. Everything was tasty, the pita bread served blazing hot is a stand out. Our first course options were hummus and Hungarian feta with Aleppo pepper. Both very tasty but not terribly creative choices I thought. Then a bean salad arrived. Again tasted very nice, a nice cold bean salad. Saffron chicken skewer and a pork souvlaki skewer. Pork was quite tough, although a very nice char. Chicken was tender and the orzo pasta was very interesting. Dessert was chocolate pudding with some edible flowers, dill, sesame seed and small cookies crumbles on top. Yes, it all tasted very good. Service attentive. Nice ambiance. However I was expecting more for our $200 ( 2 Table of Joy, 2 beers and a Turkish coffee). Not more food, the portions were not an issue, but something more creative. Something that would change my impression of Mediterranean cuisine. I can get hummus, feta & skewers at any number of much more reasonably priced Mediterranean restaurants. Even taking into account 'The Pearl mark up', in the end I can't say I'm impressed. Disappointed we spent that much money. Can't recommend this to friends or family.

For mains, Raymond steered us in all the right directions: Mustard Glazed Faroe Island Salmon with warm fingerling potatoes, parsnips, mushrooms, frisée, and herb oil - $30. Beautifully cooked and flavorful. Tomatillo Shrimp with grilled Gulf shrimp, white cheddar grit cake, and tomatillo butter - $28. Bold and delicious. Loretta Burger with crispy prosciutto, manchego, arugula, tomato, grilled red onion, and smash sauce on a brioche bun. Choice of fries or tots - $18 (some had tots, and one had fries - tasty). Absolutely nailed it. Queso Fundido Burger with fried chorizo-queso blanco, charred poblano, and cactus salsa verde. Choice of fries or tots - $20. Indulgent in the best way.

But at my age anytime you are over ground is the best occasion. I have heard it is real fancy. And it is. Do not come in Crocs and sweatpants. This is not that restaurant. It is that restaurant where you should make reservations. It is also a place that emphasizes presentation and service. We came right when it opened and we informed the hostess of our reservations. We were seated in the bar area. Once inside I was struck by its ambience. It is sleek, dark and dare say "sexy." Our server, who was extremely attentive came to our table and took our drink orders. My partner ordered an Old Fashioned and me, a Lagunitas IPA. Whilst waiting for our drinks I looked over the room. One thing I noticed was a barrier that separated the bar area and the dining room. The Social Hour is meant, to socialize. I saw couples leaning into each other. Another group were drinking martinis with a seafood tower, almost touching the ceiling. Conversations were had. Romantic glances were exchanged. It isn't a casual place like Bubba's 33 nor Texas Roadhouse. It feels like a place best suited for a date night or an anniversary. I'm wondering how the dining room area is? The Social Hour does offer some drink and small bites specials. We ordered the kabob with pineapple, brussel sprouts, and sliders. They were all pretty great. It reminded me of the same experience as in partaking in tapas. I would remiss if I didn't relay our service here, it was excellent. Our server, Holiday(I hope I spelled it right.) treated us like we were the only patrons there. I've gone to upscale restaurants where staff looks at you up and down. Or they try to size you up. This is not that place. Which was so refreshing. If this place went above and beyond my expectations why didn't I give it four stars? In my opinion I think that a place that creates an upscale experience needs to have a few beers on tap. Even places like Wing Daddy's or Chili's offers a few beers on tap. Secondly, the bar area seating feels a bit tight. I wonder when the dinner crowd arrives would you be in the lap, of someone else's conversation? I still highly recommend this place. The Social Hour area is perfect for a date or an anniversary. The service and food were both excellent. And I've never been to a place where you are given warm hand towels. It reminded me of that scene with Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer" minus Billy Idol.

    As I reminisce on my final (?) meal at The Barn Door earlier today, I have difficulty expressing…read morehow sad I feel to lose a landmark that has served as a second home for generations of San Antonians. For 73 years, The Barn Door has been more than a great restaurant; it has been an inexorable piece of San Antonio history. Last week, The Barn Door announced on Facebook that its final day of service will be Sunday, May 11th (Mother's Day). The Barn Door has been an outstanding steakhouse in the truest sense. They've never relied on gimmicks or culinary trends--they've relied on the tried-and-true flavors that have maintained a loyal clientele for decades. I'm taking about hand-cut, primal cuts of beef grilled over real mesquite, delivering that unmistakable South Texas char. I'm referring to plump, wild-caught shrimp from the Gulf Coast, the famous yeast rolls, and tubs of homemade salad dressings. If you've been there, you know how special the overall experience has been. I've read many heartfelt comments on social media asking why such a successful institution would cease operations. Well, dear reader, I have a unique insight into why. Randy Stokes has poured his heart into the restaurant, but he merely leases the building--not the land--from the Straus family. Approximately seven months ago, Mr. Straus decided to sell the dirt beneath the "Barn" to a real estate developer. The plan? To raze this historic site and erect modern condos. It's a familiar story of urban expansion, but it doesn't make the loss any easier to swallow. But before we close the door on "The Barn" forever, a glimmer of hope looms on the horizon. Randy Stokes and his team aren't necessarily hanging up their aprons for good. According to a reliable anonymous source, the team has expressed a desire to reopen The Barn Door at a new location, with eyes set currently on the city's North Side. I hope the promise of a new location comes to fruition, but even if The Barn Door closes forever, I will cherish all the wonderful memories of dining there with my parents and grandparents over the years. I will remember the ingratiating staff, the unique ambience, and the hundreds of delicious meals I've crammed down my gullet.

    This restaurant has been here for about 50 years now and it's definitely showing it's age…read more Half the sign wasn't working. It's a sketchy area to walk behind the restaurant to the Speakeasy. Anyhow, I ordered the chicken fried ribeye, jalapeño twice baked potato. Now, the potato was great. I didn't care for the ribeye and didn't eat it. The salad was right out of the bag. Iceberg, shredded carrots and cabbage with 5 bagged croutons. What happened? It wasn't like that before. My cream spinach came out late, and we weren't charged for it, which was nice. My brother in laws filet was too done. He asked for medium, and it was medium well. He ate it anyway. They used to have a 6oz ladies filet, but they don't. The server wasn't perfect, but we lived. IF I return, I'll skip the salad, get the filet and potato.
