The Historic Pearl Brewery

http://atpearl.com | 303 Pearl Pkwy #300, San Antonio, TX 78215 Pearl is a neighborhood and like all great neighborhoods it has a rich history that is added to and upheld by the many people who have ties to the place - the buildings, the river, the brewery since it was founded in 1881. Pearl is also a place where we like to get together – to share meals, to learn, to work, to live. With 324 apartments, fifteen restaurants and cafes, thirteen retailers and eighteen resident businesses as well as a twice weekly Farmers Market, this neighborhood is always full of life and activity.

We invite friends, neighbors and visitors to join us in our plaza, in our park spaces and at our year round series of music, food and cultural events and enjoy our position on the beautiful Northern reach of the San Antonio River steps from the San Antonio Museum of Art, The Do Seum and Brackenridge Park. The original idea behind the development of Pearl was to create a true neighborhood that is a culinary and cultural gathering place. In the last two years we have opened seven new restaurants, eight new retail locations and have completed 300-plus residential units at the Can Plant Apartments, which are now 100 percent occupied. Because Pearl is a living, breathing neighborhood, it offers both locals and visitors truly distinct San Antonio culture—from our twice weekly farmers market to our 15 chefdriven restaurants and our vibrant, all-local retail community, there is nothing else like it. Located along the Museum Reach, Pearl is a great jumping-off point for seeing the public art along River Walk, jogging or exploring the many museums and parks along the river.
