Blue Star Brewing Company

VIsited for a late lunch. Lunch specials were still in effect. Located in the Blue Star Arts Complex, this brewery is an old school commercial brewpub. High ceiling, large seating area and patio. The place was empty on a Monday 2h30PM. Had the Blue Plate special, which was a big porkchop, with stir fried spinach and cauliflower rice, and a desert (pecan bar a la mode) for 11$. Menu is varied, burgers, steaks, some pasta, etc. The beers were well made, especially the barlewine and the Belgians. Samplers by the unit from 2 to 3.50$. Well worth the stop.

Cool location along the river. Nicely situated amongst local art galleries and such. The beers aren’t anything to get excited about, but in sum, definitely worth the 20 minute walk from the center.

Visited mid-February, 2018. Neat enough place. Parking was difficult. Big wooden place, sort of a corporate vibe, beer tanks everywhere, etc. Decent food, decent beer, great friends to hang out with. Didn't strike me as anything to phone home about, but it was a pleasant experience. There's lots of awesome beer in TX now, so just choose wisely.

Medium size, cozy space plus a patio; mostly empty on a Monday afternoon; decent food; average or better beer; flights of any number available, working WiFi

Visited here in late July ’15 while in the area for business. Great brewpub in an artsy part of San Antonio close to downtown. kind of rustic, has an old farmhouse feel to it. Has about 10 of their own on tap, offered in various sizes. Nice wide variety to choose from. Solid menu, reasonable prices, I had the steak and it was only about $16. Friendly, hard working staff. A must stop if in San Antonio.

About 10 beers on tap, including one cask. Good sized space with bar, table and outdoor seating. Beers of b=variable quality and style. Free parking. Very beer-centric venue wth loads of brewing equipment in clear view, yet more upscale feel than implied by this description.

This is a neat brewery in a little art district. The décor is simple and pays tribute to cycling. The beer is very good: true to style, technically sound, and sort of middle of the road in style. The staff was attentive. I liked this spot.

Food is above average for a brewpub. Beer range is pretty tasty, with occasional seasonal or special stuff. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Good addition to the area. Re-rate after a long time away. Warning, the bridge over the river was closed, so I parked in a residential area a couple of blocks away. Still noce to come here and see the river turn back into a river, its job entertaining tourists done. They are now doing sour beers, very tasty ones at that. Service was exceptional on this visit - table staff knew the beers backwards and forwards, were generous with free samples, and had good recommendations. Well worth a visit.

I found this brewpub to be only decent. The prices were pretty solid, and the beers weren’t bad, but they just all felt a little lacking. Overall, I still enjoyed the visit.

This is a nice gem in downtown, mostly constructed of recycled industrial building materials. The house beers are good and there were some one-offs. Our service was spot on, and the food is very good. This is a must stop in San Antonio.
