From the owner: Beacon House is located just north of downtown San Antonio. Built in 1922, the historic multi-use…read morespace is home to professional counseling suites, co-working space, and event rentals. Beacon House is a 100-year-old building nestled in the heart of the Beacon Hill neighborhood, just north of downtown San Antonio. In 2017, The Park Community Church was generously gifted this charming building and renovated it to create a multi use space that is perfect for coworking, events, meetings, or seminars. Both coworkers and event rentals have access to kitchenettes on both floors of the building, free Wi-Fi, private meeting rooms, flexible large group spaces, virtual meeting capabilities, and audio/visual equipment. Beacon House is also the home to a suite of licensed professional counselors who welcome clients in a safe, private area of the building. We understand the importance of mental health but know that seeking counseling can sometimes be cost-prohibitive. To ease this burden, we are proud to use a portion of the profits generated from coworking and event rental fees to create a scholarship fund that can be used to offset counseling costs. Book your next special event with us or come work in a collaborative space or private office! Contact us through our website.

My daughter's quinceanera was on 5/28 and yes, we originally booked with Annie (mentioned in a…read moreprevious review); however, she is no longer with the venue and the person that took over made everything right and confirmed the details we originally planned. I cannot thank the staff enough for being extremely attentive and professional the day of and throughout the evening. The dinner service was so nice and all of our guests loved the food, the vibe, and the entire experience. We had our Pastor give a blessing over my daughter in the gazebo area and it was lovely and the trees provided just enough shade and breeze to make the heat very tolerable. The private dressing room was PERFECT for the court to change for the surprise dance and have a little place to cool off when they got hot dancing. The staff kept the restrooms super clean throughout the night and were always around, so I never had to look far when I needed something (which was quite often). I was always met with a smile and outstanding attitude. Whatever the future holds, I can't wait to book another event here. We are grateful for such a special venue and epic party! My baby had the night of her life!

If you want a great, top-five burger in the entire state (and probably higher), it's worth the…read morewicked streets and rotary to get to Chris Madrid's. Although on this Saturday night most of the patrons and our cashier seemed to be in foul moods, especially the troglodyte in line in front of us, the food was amazing. It was pleasant enough to sit outside, and it was an awesome experience. It's likely our fourth or fifth visit, but it has been a few years. It's good to know nothing has changed. Let just say that this is what a burger should be (by the way, we both got "Porky's Delight). A lot of oozing cheddar, just the right amount of veg, and a very slightly greasy burger. The drink & condiments stations, especially the one in the front dining room, really clog up, but otherwise, they have everything you need for your meal right at hand. One of the brilliants things they do to prevent unfettered chaos is bring the food to you. It's a nice touch. Honestly, I could go back today for another!

We just had our second incredible meal at this place, and we're still raving about it!…read moreThe dinner menu truly impressed us once again. There's such a wonderful selection, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. As parents with notoriously picky eaters, we especially appreciate how accommodating the staff is - it's such a relief to know that our kids can also find something yummy with just a quick chat with the staff member. That really makes a difference for a family outing! And oh my goodness, the appetizers are simply fantastic. We couldn't get enough! I also have to give a special shout-out to the Carrajillo I ordered. It was such a delightful surprise - perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with a lovely citrusy kick that made it incredibly refreshing. Definitely a new favorite drink! We're already looking forward to our next visit to explore more of amazing menu. Just a little heads-up for anyone else, we realized on our way out that there's an extra parking lot right across the street if the main one fills up. Super handy to know!

The Impact Guild is a great place to work and connect with people who share a common purpose…read more I have a reserved desk, but most members have the basic monthly membership and just use available desk space when they visit. All memberships include access to the meeting rooms, which have different sizes and amenities (for example, podcasting equipment, or projection screens). The kitchen is always stocked with coffee, tea, sparkling water, and other goodies. Seasonal flowers and changing art exhibits (a collaboration with Hausmann Millworks) add to the atmosphere. The people make the Impact Guild an especially productive place. The founders and the members have a sense of mission about making the world a better place. It creates an atmosphere of helpfulness and abundance, for everything from IT fixes to collaborations

Venue also has a private suite like room that we used to change and house sleeping babies of our guests. There was also plenty of parking.

With how difficult this was, I have no desire to get married here. If it's this difficult just to get info how much worse would it be if I was trying to contact them about actual wedding stuff.

Club members were stationed throughout the house to help you and answer questions. The house is available for rental for occasions of all types. Plants on the front porch were ready for sale.

If we could give 10 stars, we would. We got married at Hofmann Ranch on 12/28 in the midst of a…read moredeep freeze and catastrophic flight cancellations from Southwest. My husband, Phil, and I waited for 3 years for this wedding because of COVID. At first, it was going to be at Wedgewood Brittany Hill in CO, then it got cancelled because of COVID, then Wedgewood Carmel in CA when things started to reopen, and finally we moved it to Hofmann Ranch because my mom is struggling with complications from her double knee replacement surgeries that were postponed because of COVID and she couldn't fly to CA. The day before our wedding, Southwest cancelled Phil's best man's and his wife's flights, Phil's cousins' flights, and my friend's flights and my uncle had to drive all the way from San Diego the day before the wedding. We were beyond worried and devastated. Because of the Hofmann Ranch team, we felt so secure and so loved and our families and friends were able to meet each other for the first time and connect with each other. Britney thought of everything: making sure that my mom had a place to sit so that she could march with me halfway down the path of the patio deck, she held onto my train, she made a water color Phannie drink sign that was gorgeous, she made sure that we ate, she thought of every single detail and schedule change when our families kept talking and singing (this is what happens when you get a whole bunch of Filipinos together LOL), she made sure that Phil and I ate food, and there are countless other things that I am sure that we don't know about. Giving Britney my bouquet was the only way that I could say how grateful I was for creating a magical place and experience in spite of all the obstacles. Phil and I are so thrilled and feel like we were destined to be married at Hofmann Ranch. You have a special place in our hearts. I hope that your mother liked the bouquet. This is what giving it to you means to me.  We would like to express our love and gratitude to Britney, Sara, Chef Daniel, Mark, Joey, Josh, and the Limelight Photography team. Each of you made our day absolutely wonderful. Additionally, Cynthia's cake design and William's flowers were beautiful! I think that anyone who is getting married needs to go to Hofmann Ranch and that Britney and her team need to do their weddings! Thank you to everyone else that we communicated with at Wedgewood over the years and in the months leading up to our celebration. Creating a beautiful experience where our families and friends could meet for the first time and have fun was truly a gift. Have a wonderful New Year and thank you so much for an unforgettable experience. Each of you are a true blessing. May God bless you and your family always and may the Force be with you! With much love and gratitude, Phil and Annie #phannie2020

I noticed it didn't seem to be as popular as some of the other options, so I have to say... don't sleep on this delightful, light, brothy wine stew! Each piece of seafood was perfectly poached, soaking up all that delicious flavor while adding its own sweet seafood lovin' to the broth. The steak was also cooked perfectly. I've done the beverage pairing both times, and while I enjoyed the experience, I don't think I'll order it again--I'm just not an egg cream girl. My friend happily enjoyed it for both of us, though! Another wonderful meal and definitely a place I'll return to.

It is the cutest house in the Beacon Hill neighborhood with a charming garden. Reservations are recommended as space is limited and fills up.

One of those places that you look forward to going back.
