I didn't see a ramp to go in the center, though I may have missed it so I am not sure how handicap accessible it is. They have a strict no food or drinks allowed in the theater and this is where they lost me. As a diabetic who takes insulin I have my emergency carbs a juice box and water. I normally don't have a problem with this at any other establishment, I even went to a different venue to see an Opera and didn't have any issues when I explained that it was my emergency carbs due to being diabetic. Nope, not here. I couldn't bring my emergency carbs or water. Though this place is nice I will NOT be returning. Having to hide a snack to bring in for emergency carbs felt so wrong! I shouldn't have to do that. Maybe some training for staff members. We diabetics have it in case we need it, that doesn't mean we will be munching and snacking. Believe me we would love to not have to take insulin 4 times a day, and we would love to be able to go out and enjoy a show without feeling like we need to choose health, not being able to participate in mundane things, or feel like a rule breaker because we had to sneak in emergency carbs which we need if our sugar levels crash. In summary, it's a nice place but no thank you!

The area directly in front was for dancing and it was so packed, I wish there was a bit more light so you didn't bump into people once it was full dark. My other pain point was the parking, since there was so many people and the closest parking lot is shared, we had to park around the corner and up a hill. The music, however, was excellent and we danced for almost the entire time. I'm looking forward to the next time going to the Sunken Gardens Theater.

I think if you want to see the basic mechanics and setup of how this event works, you can refer to…read morethe other reviews. This is the most expensive of all Fiesta Events, as far as admission. The $100 dollar per ticket price tag includes four drink tickets, an unlimited sampling of all food items. There is no on-site parking, ride share options are relegated to certain areas. Three pick up and drop off locations throughout the event transport you by charter bus to the event. I'm probably stating the obvious at this point. I can only explain why my experience was underwhelming. Firstly heeding the advice of other Yelpers I got here early. Initially all the lines were at a minimal. I made a beeline for The Orginal Donut Shop only to find a health inspector, who (in)conveniently decided to check foods right at opening time. Whilst waiting people began filing in, adding to the already growing manicotti moshpit. By seven o' clock most lines wrapped around walkways. The result were patrons pushing, grinding and bumping their way through. A huge factor was the spacing of booths. This created traffic and you couldn't tell where one line began and another one ended. It was a huge clusterFUDGE! The thinking by fiesta goers is that the exorbitant price will filter out people, the elements that make the other events unpleasant; ie. overcrowding. This could not be further from the truth. On the contrary quarters were very tight. Anywhere you stand is to be in someone's way. In addition performance stages were brilliantly placed nearby food and drink booths. For example The Spazzmatics were performing right next to a barbecue and an Italian food vendor. It's like you could get a slider and rock out to Devo's" Whip it" at the same time. This made absolutely no logistical sense. I read another review that said that this is a classy affair. To me that is very subjective. It has more to do with selection than presentation. At that capacity most of the businesses were not out of the ordinary. In addition some vendors offered healthy sized samplings, like the Snooze Eatery A.M. But for the most part samples were bite size. I saw people wait an eternity in line just for a meatball. I'm wondering in the VIP area, which I never saw, if the selection was much better? Krispy Kreme did offer a donut shish kabob. And on the drink end I must confess I'm not into wine. Nor the spirits for that matter. I fancy myself a beer drinker and the selection would shock even Howard Stern. Mind you HEB was giving away free wine samples. But on the beer front they only had Stella Artois, Bud light and Karbach, which is basically Budweiser. For future reference they should at least raise their beer profile. Otherwise just serve me a Mickey's Bigmouth in a brown paper bag. Factoring in everything the vibe was very frat house meets a food sampling at HEB Central Marketplace. I understand that this event is for a good cause. I definitely would not take that away from them. However this event made me miss the grit, the campiness of all other fiesta events. The irony of fiesta is that it embraces royalty then mocks it. At this event fiesta-goers bask in class, status and super cool Stella Artois glasses, courtesy of the VIP section. Will I ever attend this again? Let's say as a San Antonian I have a Fiesta Check Off list. "Taste of the Northside." I did it. Now scratch it off.

I'm happy with general admission: 5 drink tickets and all you can eat from 50 or so restaurants. Fast food types all the way to Mimosa and Tejas de Brazil, Texas Roadhouse, sushi zushi, too many to name. Some are true sample size, others are fill-you-up size. You can go back as many times as you wants. So if you just have a few favorites, knock yourself out. Me, I eat it all. Ha, ha. Alcohol: Deep Eddy vodka, Avon tequila, serving full size margaritas for 2 tickets. By the way, more drink tickets can be bought 2 for $15, after you blow your free five tickets. Yeah, baby. Go there next year. By the way, all proceeds benefit the Brighton Center, doing good for children with various disabilities. 04/24/19 We like the way they opened it up in the back. How does Sonterra really feel about all of us tromping on their golf course? Anyway, it was the usual great event. Beer, wine and cocktail stations abound! They were everywhere. Each cocktail station prepared a different drink. The standouts: watermelon margarita, creamitini and the como la flor (yes, for Selena). They topped it with a small flower. Among the food: the Rustic, Kirby's, Pesto, So Hill Cafe, the Hollow, Cover 3, Maggiano's, Whiskey Cake, so, so many others. Music on at least 3 stages. Photo booths. What we really like is that you can park at various locations and be shuttled in. A bit of an adventure last night, though. Our bus driver wasn't too sure about how to get to some of the parking venues. One of the riders moved up by the driver to guide him. It is pretty dark out there. All in all, another great experience. If I may state however, more trash cans are needed as well as a more frequent emptying of them. Go there.

Amazing venue and great sound quality!…read more The Tobin offers an upscale experience with friendly staff, a range of price points, and nice sound quality. Prepaid garage or valet parking options are available as well as a convenient parking lot a short walk away. The show was loud, especially for an acoustic performance, but the sound quality was great. Overall, there is a variety of price points, so you can splurge on club seating with table service, or choose the balcony to save the piggy bank. We sat in the mezzanine section however next time I would prefer to sit closer to the stage. While some of the ticket prices were on the high side, you can sign up for the newsletter to receive discounts on upcoming shows. The price of drinks was outrageous but sadly typical for a concert. I did not order food or beverages but be sure you view the menu / price list ahead of your visit. There was no meet & greet or photo opportunity offered for this event but I hope that is an option at future events. Definitely consider the Tobin when your favorite band is in town!
