Boiler House at Pearl is a true Texas original. Situated in the historic Pearl Brewery complex on the San Antonio River Walk, this wine-centric restaurant occupies the former “boiler house” which powered the adjacent brewery. Lead by Executive Chef Alberto "Beto" Gutierrez, the menu focuses on grilled items from local farms and markets, with a focus on “Texas ranch-style” cuisine. These delicacies are paired with extraordinary wines from around the world (available by the glass, bottle and “to-go”), full bar, live music and a casual yet energetic atmosphere. The unique list of wines boasts some of the lowest prices in the area.

The restaurant incorporates various private dining areas suitable for private or corporate functions and an expansive outdoor patio area where guests can enjoy dining alfresco. We can host groups anywhere from 9 up to 290 guests in our unique, flexible private event spaces.

    Delicious dinner with friends before a concert. The filet mignons were done to perfection and the Brussels sprouts with whipped potatoes added to the entrees were yummy. We did have a wedge salad we shared just beforehand. Thank you for great service and a good meal. It was however very expensive.

    As a 15 year plus downtown resident, this is our backyard. With 30 plus years in the hospitality field (now retired) I feel I can bring you real insight into our locations. The good, the bad and the ugly. If we run across a serious issue, I will always go directly to management and not post it. I truly believe you always must give management an opportunity to correct a serious issue. If not corrected and or just ignored, then I feel it is correct to inform the public - professionally. No establishment is perfect. I will bring to you smaller hiccups we may have come across. I will rarely comment on the taste of food - being bad, as that is a very personal thing. My wife and I disagree on taste of food and wine, no one is wrong or right. Now if the food is on fire, burned, under/overcooked to our requests, that would be mentioned. Had an event to see at the STABLE in the Pearl. We picked the Broiler House. It's been about 5 years since our last visit. Just like the last time mmm mmm mmmm. Service was great, happy faces welcomed you as you came in and a goodbye and thanks for dining when you departed. I'm a bit of a Sangria snob, having dual citizenship. Dang it was good, refreshing! We brought a couple with us, first time for them and they also gave it a thumbs up. No issues at all talking with all four of us. If you have never gone, peek upstairs at the private glass room you can reserve! Thank you, Broiler house, for consistently being good and great service. PS, Cindi is a 40 year plus vegetarian, no issues for her for options.

    Initially booked a table but asked to sit at the bar and hostess was extremely accommodating. The quail poppers alone are worth coming back for as they were tender and juicy with crispy bacon wrapped around each leg. Had the burger as my main, equally fantastic. This is one of the places I like to hit before going to Spurs games.

    The menu was interesting. The service was good. The ambience was warm and rustic. The lasagna was amazing as were the meatballs for an appetizer. The antelope sliders were top notch.

    We sat next to the restroom and had a great view of the restroom traffic, and other things. The food wasn't what it used to be.

    No complaints at all and only positives about our dinner. They accommodated my weird allergies and were able to seat us early (by our request). Next trip to SA the Pearl will be the first visit to make. Great area and atmosphere for shopping and dining.
