Typical Flying Saucer location....okay atmosphere, great selection and pretty good food. One thing I like about this chain is that the servers generally know there stuff...which is great for patrons who are not beer nerds like most of us are.

Visited this place in April 2008 while on a business trip and was very impressed. I don’t get out much, but the selection was fantastic...great to try local beers and had a smattering from around the country as well. My Live Oak Hefe hit the spot. The food was good. The ambience was a little noisy and chaotic...but the waittresses were really hot, so that was a saving grace.

This place is great when visiting it on offpeak hours. Forget about it on Fri or Sat nights as the place turns into a yuppy scum blackhole.

Hangout for after-work crowds. Been there 4 or 5 times and service varies from pretty good to very slow. Great selection, but last time I went, they didn’t have what I was looking for (Flensburger Dunkel). Haven’t tried the food. A little on the expensive side compared to San Antonio’s other beer emporium on the far north side.

I thought this place was great. The selection is amazing, and if you go on the right night, very reasonable. I loved the ambiance. If people are complaining about it being too loud it’s because they are too old. A very young and hip crowd, the waitstaff is gorgeous and I always got great service. The food was great as well. I spent four days straight there while on a business trip. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Serve some authentic German dishes. Mostly brats and kraut, but then again that is what most German dishes consist of. The walls are covered with plates/dishes. Many of the plates are from members of the "Ring of Honor", which is a status you achieve by drinking over 200 different beers from the establishment. The main seating area has 15’ high windows which allow for a fair amount of light in with a good view of the outdoors. Main seating area has a 30’ vaulted ceiling with a multitude of beer banners hanging from it. There is an outdoor seating area which can be uncovered, or umbrellas may be deployed for shade. It can be fairly loud on weekend nights, not sure about weekday or earlier in the day. Seating is arranged in a few manners, there are seats at the bar, a small two sided bar-ish area, and then common tables for around 10 people. It promotes a very social atmosphere. Overall one of my favorite establishments I’ve been to.

Naturally, be a Flying Saucer, the best thing about it is the number of beers to choose from. And as a lunch place, the food is very good and the service during the quieter noontoon hours is good as well. However, once the place fills up in the evening, be prepared for a lot of noise (the high ceilings create quite the echo). When the weather is not too hot (which is not often enough in San Antonio) outside is the best place to sit.

The waitresses all wanted me, and I was happy to oblige. The Flying Saucer always has a great selection, and this place is no exception. Very accessible, and plan on staying awhile. Nice tap and bottle selection; the 1/2 Price bookstore next door can be a dangerous place after a pint or 5...
