Pearl Brewery

"Pearl was founded in 1881 as a traditional brewery. These days, however, the bustling complex is less about beer than its 15 restaurants, dozen-plus retailers, and numerous family-friendly events, including a twice-weekly farmers’ market. Start with lunch at La Gloria, chef Johnny Hernandez’s nod to interior Mexico, followed by dessert at Bakery Lorraine, where you’ll find an enticing rainbow of Parisian-style macarons. If you’re in the mood to shop, pick up a tailored guayabera from Dos Carolinas, or a piece of handcrafted jewelry from Ten Thousand Villages. Pearl Brewery is even home to Hotel Emma, a true gem in San Antonio’s boutique-lodging scene, in case you don’t want to leave."

"On Deck, the Pearl District sports bar that almost closed last year, actually bit the bullet in mid-January. According to a Facebook post, the ownership team couldn’t get an extension on the lease. [EaterWire]" - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Last month, On Deck, the Pearl sports bar known for its rooftop patio, announced that it would close for good on December 9. In a Facebook post, the sports bar’s owners said the current landlord “declined to work with us on a favorable lease extension.” However, the bar just announced that it has re-opened lease negotiations with its landlord, so it will no longer be closing — yet." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
