    Lamar burger + pint

    This place is such a gem! Great location and cute aesthetic. The food is good and they have a nice selection or beer and wine. A burger + pint on Thursdays for $15 is a steal! I was so bummed to hear just a day or two after I was here last that they're closing this location.

    I loved the Vista Brewing old location in San Antonio, but I was looking forward to this new location opening. When the former restaurant and business were here, I liked the ambiance. So I was curious about how they would transform this place. I think they left the whole interior (I mean the texture of the walls, floors and such) and I really appreciated that. It's chic, yet very cozy with the bar and table settings. The dining space is spacious and open. I had no doubt about their beer. It's always great! For food, I ordered Chicken Vista: deep fried chicken on mushed potatoes and spinach. It was so good! It fits with their beer perfectly. My friend had a Kobe beef burger with fries, and she did like it. I look forward to exploring more of their food and of course drinks!

    Middle Trinity- Belgian Tripel! Deceptively boozy which are always my favorite!

    The unintended effect of transplants coming to San Antonio cannot be discounted. Areas a generation that seemed overlooked are coming alive. Thus the same warehouse in the Westside that houses "Shotgun Coffee Roasters" becomes an intermediary. A coffeehouse, a brewery in the Westside? Say it isn't so but at least for now our city is experiencing a renaissance of sorts . As a result more unique businesses are hedging their bets, opening up in our city. Which brings me to the Vista Brewing Company. I could go on, using flowery verbage to describe my experience here but why. So I will give you the rundown. Parking is very problematic. You can park in residential areas but be careful. Vehicles come down the street and like Sammy Hagar "They can't drive 55!" It's housed in the same building as "Shotgun Coffee Roasters" an excellent coffeehouse by the way. It is really small with some indoor seating with more outdoors. So basically you go to the counter and order your pour. The taplist while a bit limited has something for everyone. I settled on their "Middle Trinity" a Belgian Tripel. I would remiss if I didn't comment on the tapmasters as they are friendly. My understanding is that this is their third location the other two being: Beecave and Driftwood. While they don't serve food in the foreseeable future they will have rotating foodtrucks. I must admit the beer I had was not too bad. It was much more sweeter, boozier than I anticpated. So sitting here I did have a critique. Since this area is close by an open ravine there appeared to be an insect issue. I was bit a few times and shooed off mosquitoes whilst drinking my beer. I hope they consider bringing in a pest controller periodically. Still I recommend coming here. It is a unique addition to this area. A brewery in the Westside? I never thought I would imagine seeing one here in my lifetime. The Vista Brewing Company is a charming place with good beers and service to match. Will patrons that never frequent this area venture outside their comfort zone to come here? I don't know. Time will tell. Next time I come I'm drinking inside.

    A hidden gem! Vista Brewery is a great hang. Seating is mainly outdoor. It was cold out and they had heaters, but it was still windy so we went inside where they had a cozy environment. Really great beer, their cocktails looked good too! I didn't eat, but they serve food on their menu as well. Really friendly staff which adds to the warm, energetic atmosphere.

    Fantastic beer. Delicious food. I am a caveman, and drink gas station coffee......but based on my perception of what actual good coffee looks like I think they are hitting homers there too. I love popping in here. The staff is super cool, almost intimidatingly cool...but then they are so sweet to you that you feel immediately comfortable. I typically don't order off menu, but if it isn't busy here I always do, and they are always so accommodating. If you like salads def get the green goddess. One of the best salads in town. Great vibes too......hip but comfy and cozy. Drink local!

    Devoured grilled cheese and tomato soup.

    Ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup which come with a side of fries and it was absolutely delicious. The ambience was peaceful and had a nice selection of wine, beer, ciders and wine cocktails. Definitely recommend to all my friends. The staff was also so nice and knowledgeable about the drink selection.

    We went on a bike ride from Elmemdorf Lake down Apache Creek and decided to hit a couple of bars in this area during our ride. This was on my list to try, so we stopped at this old building that houses numerous businesses along the Alazan creek with a view of SA skyline. This area is changing in front of our eyes, so get over there before it completely gets a makeover. Though I am excited to see Alazan creek walk/bike trail that will lead you to Woodlawn Lake in the near future! There was a good quiet crowd outside enjoying a nice Sunday winter day. Went inside to look around and chat with the bartender about how they picked this place out of everywhere in SA. It started with a caramel maker... The whole building smelled like Chai tea as they were mixing it upstairs, so go on a Sunday if you want the sweet smell of Chai as you sip on your beer. I decided to go for Copperhead ;) which was a Pale Ale that was full of malty notes. This was a solid beer as I sipped at the tables outside and admired the SA skyline in the distance.

    Ah-mazing!!!! Would you believe I watched an episode of "Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives" San Antonio,…read moreand this was one places featured?!!! I immediately book marked it as a place I wanted to hit! The front street view of the place wasn't eye catching, but once inside, it was lively and busy. Super casual, order at the counter. We received a very friendly greeting and the gentleman happily introduced us to their menu. Love how everything is made in house scratch. They make their own sourdough breads, brews, and brisket. We made it just in time before brunch ended ( ends at 1400). We ordered: Brunch Pastrami and egg on sourdough potato roll sando. Delicious!!!!! The roll was so soft , the house made pastrami was tasty and not overly salty, paired with 2 fried eggs, and ooey gooey melted Swiss. Yumm!!! Little pricey as it didn't come with anything else. But, it definitely was amazing! Shared a large Native Texan pizza. Woweee! One of the best pizzas we ever had. It had house made pastrami brisket, house pickled jalapeños, red onions, and various cheeses. It was topped and swirled with a tallow Bbq sauce, which gave it a slight smoky flavor. The jalapeños gave a nice after bite kick. The sourdough crust was perfectly thin, with a slight sweet aftertaste. We took home some leftover pizza slices and they were still as delicious the first day. Hubby is still raving about the pizza today lol Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We didn't try any of their home brews as it was too early in the day for us, but for sure next time. Can't wait to revisit and try some more things on the menu. Military discount is offered.

    It's been a while since I have been here and no clue why as it has a great atmosphere, great…read more service , great beer and hands down the best pizza in San Antonio!! It beats Dough hands down! Enjoyed their No Slide IPA which was fantastic!! Had to have a second and their pizza -wow!! The Blanco pizza loaded with garlic is amazing and BEST CRUST anywhere made with their 40 year old sourdough starter !! Love this place, Pony behind the bar is the best!! Gonna be back soon!!

    This was such a fun little brewery. We decided to swing by one Sunday afternoon for a cold beer and…read moresome finger foods, and it ended up being a great stop. As soon as we walked into Dos Sirenos, the staff were very friendly and greeted us right away, letting us know to grab a seat wherever we liked and that someone would be with us shortly. Even though the place was pretty busy both inside and outside, it didn't take long for someone to come over and take our food and drink order. The drinks came out quickly, and the food wasn't far behind. Everything we ordered was delicious--honestly my only complaint was that my plate was empty by the end! The drinks were cold, refreshing, and really good. Overall, we had a great time at Dos Sirenos. The atmosphere was lively, the service was friendly, and the food and drinks hit the spot. We would definitely come back.

It used to be an old neighborhood bar called Tabasco Beach in the 2000s/2010s and changed its name to The Beach then shut down a few years later. When I went in there's not a crowd and no hostess and had a sign on the blackboard telling patrons to seat themselves. Minutes later a tattooed and friendly waitress wearing a Selena shirt arrived to my table and took my order for a lemonade and the tiramisu french toast with a side of bacon. Everything was good. The french toast had thick slices like Texas toast . I'll return another time for supper.

    I genuinely thought this was going to be a sports bar vibe, and I was pleasantly surprised to find…read morethat it was a Biergarten and almost pub vibe I was meeting a friend for happy hour and some bites, and we landed on the spot. I will say the GPS got a little confused in the route for some reason and I nearly missed an exit and even the entrance (there was some construction going on) There is plenty of parking, but the parking lot was pretty full. You walk up and either walk through the courtyard style Biergarten with tables or you can go inside. It was an unseasonably nice day, so, we opted to sit outside There is a QR code to view the menus. There are entrees and plenty of apps/sharables. There is also a very extensive beer menu. Make no mistake, this is their bread and butter. They boast an imprecise "99 beers on tap." There's local brews, light and dark beers, hoppy, Belgium style, German style, wheat, etc etc etc. if that's not your speed there are cocktails and non-alcoholic options. Our server was fantastic. She was very kind and patient with us. We were constantly checked in on, but not in a hovering way or a pressure to leave. Our food and drinks always came out in a timely manner. She made us feel well taken care of The drinks hit the spot, and the food was tasty. It was definitely a chill vibe/hang. We were there for hours just catching up, and we saw other happy hours, birthday parties, dates, bachelorette parties, etc Some tips: I did order a couple beers that they were temporarily out of, but there are so many beers to pivot to. Also, our server was incredibly helpful in offering other suggestions, similar suggestions, and asking the right questions to help land in the next alternative They are not open Mondays, and they're only open until 11pm Tuesday-Thursday (and Sunday). Friday and Saturday they're open til 1am. Also, on Saturdays and Sunday's they offer brunch from 11am-3pm) The Reuben was surprisingly delicious Cheers!!

It's been a while since have done brunch and o won't be in a hurry to return to brunch specifically The service was superb, we had a great server and he was absolutely on top of everything which was great! Beers were also great as was the mimosa I had and the kids we were with seemed to like their meals which came out last and they said theirs were hot - ours were not unfortunately. I had the Lox eggs Benedict and in retrospect should have sent it back as it was stone cold! My husband and our friend got the biscuits and gravy and also reported that they were cold - it was also served in a bowl which was a bad idea as the biscuits completely soaked up the gravy and resembled oatmeal by the time it hit the table! We got one meal - waffles and chicken to go and the waffles were inedible- poorly mixed, gritty and so much hot sauce in the mixture that they burned the back of the throat - they had to be trashed ! I love this place but won't return in a hurry for brunch - granted multiple dishes with eggs are hard to time right so we ended up with cold food that did however taste good
