Eclectic space open since the 1970s. Great basic menu with awesome drink specials and pool tables in the back. Awesome lunch spot. I often ride my bike here and enjoy a meal before a day of riding through Brackenridge park.

Candlelight Coffeehouse
107 Kings CtThe Southern fried chicken and waffles here are life changing. This is a very small place with big flavor! A must-try for the neighborhood. Good beer. I also recommend the pimento cheese and chips as an appetizer.

This place has been a favorite of mine for years. Even as the world has changed drastically surrounding this spot, it stays just as good as it was the day it opened. Steaks, Whiskey, no nonsense. I recommend the chopped sirloin with queso added!

Arts & Culture
The San Antonio Museum of art was the work of a few visionaries who saw a cultural need in the city and took to an abandoned Lone Star Beer brewery as their prime location. The Museum has an extensive collection ranging from ancient Egyptian art to contemporary works and everything in between. On site restaurant 'Sketch' has quickly become a local favorite and helps facilitate a full day at the museum without grumbling tummies. An added bonus is that I work here! Please let me know if I can provide you or your family with any recommendations or information regarding the Museum.

Marion Koogler McNay (7 February 1883 – 13 April 1950), was an American painter and art teacher who inherited a substantial oil fortune upon the death of her father. She later willed her fortune to be used to establish San Antonio's first museum of modern art, which today bears her name. This museum has a focused collection and rotating exhibitions. Be sure to check out first Thursdays of the month on the lawn, featuring free admission, food trucks, & live music!
