 San Antonio Bars and Clubs – Breweries

A comprehensive list of San Antonio breweries.

Visiting breweries is always a great excuse to drink long before it becomes socially acceptable. A few samples of beer before noon never hurt anyone, right? San Antonio bars love to feature local brews, including those by the Blue Star Brewing Company. College students, hipsters and businesspeople congregate at this San Antonio brewpub to sample premium local brews and have a nice meal. Breweries are also good to visit because the dollars spent go directly to supporting local business, and what could be better than that? Supporting local business is like paying taxes or making charitable donations—the more you drink, the better off San Antonio is. So gather a group of friends and strap on your drinking shoes—there’s a city, and local brewpubs, in need of financial support.

Blue Star Brewing Company

1414 S. Alamo St., San Antonio TX 78210; Tel. 210.212.5506

The Blue Star Arts Complex on the border of the San Antonio River is a group of historical warehouse buildings that have been turned into retail space, apartments and of course, the Blue Star Brewery.  With a wide selection of beers brewed on site, the Blue Star Brewing Company is San Antonio’s premier brewpub and draws a mixed crowd of artists, businesspeople and local San Antonio college students.  The Blue Star Brewing Company also offers a full restaurant menu, which is perfect for those who head straight to the pub after work and also need a bite to eat.  The second floor balcony has a view of the San Antonio River and allows drinkers and diners at the brewery to get a breath of fresh air.

Flying Saucer

11255 Huebner Rd., San Antonio TX 78230; Tel. 210.696.5080

Widely considered one of the best bars in San Antonio, the Flying Saucer is Eden for beer-lovers where the only forbidden fruit is that of abstinence. Seriously, over 300 varieties of the loveable suds are available for your drinking pleasure at this sublimely fun and lively, with brews from more countries than we care to list. If you’re still sitting here reading this and you’re not on your way to the Flying Saucer, then something is wrong with you.
