Beer, wine and pizza...what's not to love about The Growler Exchange? For those of you who have never been to this amazing business before, The Growler Exchange is a tap room and restaurant which carries a huge variety of unique beers, as well as some of the most delicious pizza you've ever had in your life. I've been a regular at this restaurant for 5 years and I can tell you that quality has stayed the same throughout the years. I also appreciate that they now have a bigger variety of wines and you can also buy beer and wine to-go. If you are looking to try their amazing pizza, their most popular pie (and my husband's favorite) is their Mike's Special which is a red sauce pizza with mozzarella, pepperoni, bacon and topped with honey drizzle. However, if you prefer something spicy (like I do), I highly recommend their Spicy Meat Sweats which is also a red sauce pizza with mozzarella, garlic sausage, pepperoni, salami, bacon and topped with some very spicy chili oil. Hope everyone gets to try this amazing local business, and don't forget to bring your growler with you! PSA for the parents: They do welcome kids, and they even have a changing station in the women's bathroom. read more

Love this place! It's Friday night - this is a smaller, more intimate place with a limited - aka - mostly pizza based menu and crazy good beer !! Enjoyed some fantastic IPAs and good pizzas - to be honest I seem to remember their pizza being way better but this was still good! But their taps were fantastic and their beer fridge is full of beer wonderment with many rare and hard to find beers! Great service, good music - what better way to start a weekend !! read more

Easy spot to meet for happy hour. I've been here several times and it's never too crowded but always a good mix of patrons. Clean, pub-like, with a small outdoor area. I had a pizza once and it was just what I needed with a cold beer. I'll be back, definitely a place to keep in the mix. read more

We went to this bar on the Friday of Easter weekend, around 6-7pm, and it was super quiet. The whole place was empty, except for the bartender and BOH guy. We mentioned we were just going to snack on one of their appetizers and read for a bit, so the bartender decided it would be fun/helpful to switch up the music to some instrumental anime music instead of a sport channel for background ambience. Super chill place, good vibes, and delicious appetizer. Lots of fun brews on tap to choose from, as well, with most of them being from Texas. Also walking distance to Armadillo Boulders, for any climbers looking to go somewhere after the gym closes. Looking forward to going back! read more

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. read more

This was one of my favorite stops during our beer adventures in San Antonio. They offer 38 different beers on tap and have a decent menu that mainly includes pizza. My husband and I shared the Garfield Pizza which was pretty good! I enjoyed it. I drank two of the Juicemeister IPAs. They were delicious. My other half was a little more adventurous and tried a couple different pours. The bartender, Lindsey, was very friendly. read more

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. read more

Enjoyed our pizza and time there! Great hole in the wall - don't be deterred! Come on in and enjoy! Be ready for leftovers!!

Best tap room in San Antonio! Lots of screens for us sports fans, and 30+ taps of some of the best beers brewed in Texas and across the country! If you haven't been, you really should go ASAP! read more

Had late night munchies and wanted pizza, but something I hadn't had before. Ordered the pepperoni and margherita pizzas, each 10-inch. They were ordered on Door Dash and by the time the driver got here they were cold. Nonetheless, they were both good and just the right size to sate my munchies. I especially liked the margherita, the sauce and tomatoes were so sweet and flavorful. The crust tasted like a fluffy tortilla, I usually don't eat edges, but I liked the crust so I ate all of it. Next time I will dine indoors so I can try the pizza when it is hot out of the oven. read more

Cute little beer bar! Tons of taps considering the size of this place! Wish they offered samples, but nope. I love that you can see how full the keg is for each beer on the screen, as well as what sizes are available (such as growler fills or not). They have food and a shelf full of games if you get bored. My husband and I stopped in between some errands and it was lovely. Will definitely be back! read more

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. read more

Excellent selection of beers. Something for everyone from IPAs (can't stand them) to barrel aged beers (love them) all on tap. Nicely covered on Untapped. Pizza is reasonably priced and tasty. I was annoyed that my sausage kept falling off, but that's a miles annoyance. Service was excellent. Give it a try! read more

Hands down one of my favorite places down broadway!!! It has so many good things! A rotating list of 30+ delicious draft beers. I almost always try something different when I come here, even though I occasionally fall back on some old favorites. They also have a nice little wine collection. We've ordered a bottle before and were pleasantly surprised on how good it was. Lots of fun artisan pizzas with different topping combinations. They only have one pre-made vegetarian option, but we're always able to sub out the meat toppings for veggie toppings on their other pizzas. If you need something to do while you're hanging out drinking draft beer, they have plenty of tvs that are always showing sports games. There is a nice little collection of board games, as well. We always default to playing connect four or mancala. And occasionally we bring in our own games to play. Lastly, there is always great service! Overall, it has a really chill vibe and I'm always happy that it doesn't get too crowded, as we're able to pleasantly enjoy our pizza, beer, and game. read more

Oh my oh my the growler exchange is grrrrreat! Pizza and great Texas beers on tap! Oh yeah it's nirvana! They have a cool digital panel that tells the keg level and has varied prices if you want a pint or a growler refill. They sell some of there growlers and other boozy accoutrement. These personal size pizzas are perfect as a happy hour snack or a dinner amongst a couple of friends as you knock a couple back after work. They have board games and a couple of TVs to keep you entertained as well. The staff is pleasant and knowledgeable especially if you don't recognize or haven't tried a certain type of beer they have therez The also have a fridge of some sodas, can craft beers, and I think I payed some hard sparkling waters. This make a great stopping place to meet up off Broadway or 281 on your way in/out of downtown or The Pearl. They also have a nice front patio to enjoy good weather; must try! read more

I feel bad because this is a place I don't frequent enough. I stopped here today after a round of golf at Brackenridge to cool off and celebrate my mediocre golf outing. Every time I stop here I immediately say to myself, "Oh yeah Growler Exchange!" Don't be like me. This place should be on your list. They have a huge tap list, an ice cold dining area, and a casual laid back vibe perfect for hanging out. I've had the pizza here in the past but today I just got the beer nuts for $3. Feels like a steal nowadays. read more

I've been coming here for a few months and they always have a great variety of rotating taps on ice. Everyone has been extremely nice with every interaction I've had with the staff. Especially Micah and Monica. I will continue to patronize this establishment and recommend this spot to anyone searching for craft beer on tap. read more

I saw on the website it had reverse happy hour today. 1/6/24 6-11 We showed up after a work out, the bartender was a complete jerk. My husband asked what drinks do they have for happy hour-his reply there's nothing happy hour is over. No feeling nothing. Rude and uninviting. Disappointed read more

Lucky to have stumbled upon this fantastic spot while looking for good pizza during our recent trip to San Antonio. Was pleasantly surprised to discover that not only they have fantastic pizzas but (as the name should suggest), an amazing collection of beers on tap. They also have a nice patio to enjoy your beer on those warm San Antonio evenings! read more

Come for the beer, and if you get buzzed and hungry enough then mayyyyybeeeee get the pizza. Maybe. All in this is just a small tap house nothing else, the pizza is a hard after thought and I wouldn't give it a second look it's over priced for a small terrible pizza, go get some beer and order dominoes and you won't be disappointed. It was small undercooked and terribly bland. The beer on the other hand was good and they have a good variety but they really need to get their food game together for me to visit regularly, try as they may micros brews can't be cocktail bars where you just come for drinks. read more

If you're looking for great beer and tasty pizza, say no more. Friendly service with good recommendations. A cool hangout for casual hangouts. I had their special pizza, "It's not easy being Green" and it was absolutely delicious. It was so good. I didn't even snap a picture because I scarfed it down so fast. My friend has the "meat sweats," don't let the name put you off, it is savory and spicy. Definitely coming back. read more

Such a great beer selection, and the taps are always rotating! Offers standard crafts as well as so many other varieties, some that are down right experimental. Kudos to whomever picks their kegs. Wish they'd offer Flights and samples, but the half pours do the trick. This place is such an integral part of the SA beer community. Worth the trip. read more

Our first visit was a bust. Tbh we visited right when Covid hit to grab some NOLA brews we'd heard about, but this was our first stop to drink. You know, it's bad enough to have to fight the craft beer stigma, but to be treated poorly by another woman.. geez.. that stung. While asking about the different variants if 3 Fonteinen the female server was more concerned with telling us the cost of the beer than the actual variants.. as if we couldn't afford it. Woman, if you only knew how much we spend on craft beer lol Cool, we'd rather spend our money where we're appreciated anyway. Had our one beer and bounced. Passed up the Equilibrium as well, I'll go to ACL then lol read more

If you're a fan of craft beer, this place is for you. It's a small place with limited outdoor seating, but I've always found a spot at the bar. I use the Digital Pour app, so I know what they have on draft and how much. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and can help you make a selection. They are also adding more options in the fridge of canned beer/wine. They have Growlers (obviously) but there's also a smaller option too. The cheese plate is delicious and the pizza is really good. I ate the entire pizza myself :) They have a few tv's so you won't get bored here. read more

(Review for pizza only) I'll start off by saying that they serve TINY ass, expensive pizza. Like, you will still be hungry after you eat your kid sized personal pizza. Surprisingly, with how dry our pizzas were we could still taste that they had a good flavor. The whole time I was eating it I kept thinking that they must have reheated it a time or two. Definitely disappointed because the pictures and reviews made it seem promising. Maybe it was just a bad day? read more

Found this Beer bar by accident, they have a great selection of tap beers like this one, and a few more, they also have great pizza, Tim was very knowledgeable of his trade and had a long conversation about beers from all over with my brother, if you're ever in San Antonio do yourself a favor and come and taste great brews, they also have parking and 2 big screen tvs with sports, salud. read more

The Growler Exchange - Oskar Blues - Beer Bar Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Our brewer friends suggested this place in San Antonio in an in- process gentrifying neighborhood. Mainly a tap house that offers pizza. Place is tiny, small seating in and out, no place to park more than a small car, limited parking. They share a wall with a tiny "Subway". On draft selection from various breweries around the county, rotating taps, almost 30% are IPAs of some variety, can selections in the coolers too. Something for everyone . We tried some draft brews from companies we'll never see in stores, and a Best Maid Spicy Pickle seasonal made in Ft. Worth that I was dying to try at SIX BUCKS A CAN... If I wasn't looking for it, I would have walked on by at that price as it's a bit overpriced. NOTE: No tasting flights offered, just half pours. Seemed odd with 34 selections on tap.. It was the first thing that spoiled the visit for us. Let's talk pizza.. seems a lot of bitchin' over it in other reviews.. When we went, they had cut their normal menu selections by 70% for their Anniversary so not much to try. Yes, they are 10", yes they are small. Yes, they are made to order. Yes, the specialties we tried were tasty. Yes, they are pricy for what you get both in size and quality of the pizza. Would I go here to eat and have beer? No.. Would I go here to have beer and a "snack"?? If you wish. Our visit was full of regulars "camped out" for the Anniversary celebration, not a lot of turnover at the tables or bar. In the end, 2 pizzas the size of a paper plate and 4 beers... $70 bucks with tip.... You decide. Not a destination spot, just a "Growler Exchange" read more
