    We regret only one thing: that we waited so long to bring the kids to Elsewhere Too. This place somehow bridges the divide between whimsy and reality, providing an upbeat outdoor food & drink experience. We met up with some friends from our kids' school for a food-driven play date on a Friday evening. Before 8PM the place is amazingly family-friendly; our kids ran and played, demolished their food, took photo booth pictures with their friends, rode the ferris wheel, and jammed out to the DJ spinning chill beats while we enjoyed our night out. The staff was absolutely amazing. They accommodated the kids, handled our food orders with care, and made solid suggestions for us first timers. We will definitely be back!

    $10 a piece. Worth it! Great date night adventure!

    ELSEWHERE TOO -- LOOK FOR THE ZEBRA. First things first: you are on the frontage road of 1604 headed west, and you will see a zebra. You will also see some other large mammal--I believe we have a giraffe situation happening--and then you will probably miss the turn. There is a lot of native greenery around the entrance, so you can't miss it if you're looking for it, which I realize makes absolutely no sense. My friend missed it. I did not, and that is absolutely going in the review. If you have a hard time finding it, apparently putting Discount Tire into your GPS can help. I apparently have a hard time. Story of my life. Once you make the turn, though, you suddenly see this impressively large, completely lit-up Ferris wheel, and for a Tuesday night, I wouldn't have expected anything less. Welcome to Elsewhere Too. Elsewhere Too is the whimsical sister of Elsewhere downtown, which is already an amazing San Antonio spot. I love the downtown location with the swings, so when I discovered there was another Elsewhere on the Northside with a 52-foot Ferris wheel, I was obviously going. And honestly? It's like Alice in Wonderland. There is a greenhouse filled with natural light that can be rented for private parties. There are plants and lights and huge outdoor spaces, covered seating, fans and misters for our ridiculous San Antonio summers, and fire pits and heaters when Texas finally remembers winter exists. You can even roast marshmallows. Then there is the Ferris wheel. Ten dollars for adults. Six dollars for children. About a ten-minute ride. And then Maddie and Peyton handed me two golden tickets. Bro. I just got two golden tickets. I'm not supposed to be getting anything free as a reviewer, but alas, I wasn't going to turn down a Ferris wheel ticket. Then they informed me of something even more important: YOU CAN TAKE YOUR DRINK ON THE FERRIS WHEEL. Now we're talking. The service here was genuinely fantastic. Maddie and Peyton were fun, welcoming, helpful, and immediately made me feel like I had wandered into the right place on exactly the right Tuesday night. I originally asked for something sparkling with alcohol. We discussed a Dirty Shirley--which, if you somehow missed childhood, adulthood, and every wedding reception in between, is basically a Shirley Temple with vodka. You're signing me up. Oh! And I couldn't believe it. They market a very special drink. Payton number 2 ran the Ferris wheel. I got tickets and it was the best thing I could've done! I got to view our city from the top of a lit up carousel San Antonio is truly such a gem. "Do y'all still sell THC here?" They do. I started with a frozen drink with a quirky face in it! The drink selection here is different from a traditional bar because they don't sell hard liquor. Instead, they specialize in craft beer, wine, canned cocktails, THC beverages and fermented cocktails. There are also sodas and sparkling waters. Elsewhere Too is completely outdoors with tons of seating, and another HUGE win: BRING YOUR PUPPIES. They welcome animals as long as they're leashed. It is also family-friendly until 8 p.m. daily, and after 8 p.m., the venue becomes 16+. There is no entry fee, which makes this an incredibly easy place to decide on at the last minute. Smaller parties generally don't need reservations because most tables seat around ten people and seating is first come, first served. And apparently San Antonio agrees with me about this place because Elsewhere Too picked up recognition from the San Antonio Current for Best New Bar and Best Patio in 2026. Great decision, Jenn. Go fight win. Here's another thing I loved about tonight. I don't come to this side of town much anymore. I lived around this area for years, and life looks very different for me now. I am starting over after leaving a 27-year marriage, and there is something really beautiful about discovering that your own city still has places you've never seen. Places where you can sit outside on a Tuesday. Write. Color in little squares on your paper. Talk to strangers. Make new friends. Drink something frozen. And then get on a giant Ferris wheel because two bartenders just handed you golden tickets. Tuesday is a great day for writers. There's not much going down. And sometimes that is exactly what you need. That's one reason I encourage people to become Yelp reviewers. It gets you out into your own city. You find cool places, weird places, beautiful places and things you might have driven past a hundred times without ever noticing. Sometimes you just have to get out there. So let me have a good time--and come join us at a place called Elsewhere. Just remember: Look for the zebra. If you hit Anchor Bar, you've gone too far. Turn around.

    This is a late review. I came here for a crawfish event. Now I cannot mix the crawfish with this venue. For the venue it is a really cool space with the Ferris wheel. Great space for getting together with friends and having some drinks. I didn't try their food but my friend did and it is very mediocre. After all it is a bar! They had trivia night and it seemed everyone was having a great time Will I make a plan to visit myself? I don't think so but for sure I will return if a group of friends is visiting

    Cool little place in the neck of the woods. Been to the one downtown and cool to come out to Northside. It was a Saturday afternoon and still warm, but cool place to hang with a big TV set up. Beer selection food and staff works well.

    We decided to come in because we had previously been to Elsewhere and the LuckySpotDog Rescue was going to be there. We got one of our dogs from the LuckySpot. Everyone was very friendly. They keep it very neat and clean. The food was good my cheeseburger was a bit drippy and messy, but it tasted good. I had a beer and margarita. The margarita was made with agave tequila and not wine. I liked the flavor, but it was a bit sweet. We brought our dogs hoping to get them more socialized. It is dog friendly but I noticed there weren't any poop stations in the parking lot. I would come back, but it is a drive for us. 3 beers and a margarita were ~$40 and the burgers w/fries were also ~$40.

    1st visit. Hearty eats. Very positive vibes. Great for families, couples, singles. Very limited parking. I recommend. Details below. Party of 2. Sunday afternoon right at opening. Order at counter. Tasty cauliflower dish and burger special. All outdoor self-seating. Food pick up at counter. Large screen tv. Different types of outdoor seating. Area handicap accessible. Parking is very limited.

    Charmaine S.

    Made it on an earlier time on a Saturday. Parking still a challenge but able to find at a farther are where we walked Food was good, didn't really order drinks. They have the buzz system to let you know your order is ready to be picked up at the counter. I like that the food and drinks are separate. Lines can get long. Perfect weather for an outdoor place like this. They have love music and that does seal the aura of the place. They have big screen where you can watch football. Quite a pretty place. It got crowded later. Better weekend in Elsewhere Too this time!

    I have been wanting to try this place but thought I'd wait for the crowd to calm down. Finally had the opportunity to visit and the atmosphere is pretty cute. Let me say that I can see parking can be a mission to find depending on the time and day you come. We were able to snag parking but the lot was pretty full and limited. The entrance to this place can also be easily missed. You're better off turning into the gun range and loop back to the area. When you walk up to the entrance you're greeted with a sign and lights. The place was decorated in colorful Christmas decor. There is two bar are one which serves food. They have a ferris wheel, plenty of seating areas, covered patios and what looked like a walking trail in the back. There was also a small train but didn't know if that worked. When we went there was live music playing. What did we order? We ordered the cauliflower buffalo wings, a burger with waffle fries and drinks. I ordered a mango margarita and my husband ordered a Modelo. Everything looked and tasted good. Staff was very friendly and the place itself was nice. We were able to sit down at a table and eat while we enjoyed our drinks. I would have liked to seen the place light up at night but I'm sure it also gets very busy then. I would definitely recommend and return again.

    We've been fans of the original Elsewhere for years, so we were thrilled when this new location opened up on our side of town. Of course, we had to check it out on opening day! The setup is so cute -- it's colorful, creative, and has that signature Elsewhere charm with plenty of cozy seating and fun little touches everywhere you look. The whole place feels bright, relaxed, and perfect for hanging out with friends or a casual date night!

    Grounds...

    This place has so much going on (in a good way), I'm amazed with the vibe that comes with it. It's a real nice place to come sit down enjoy some food and some adult drinks. Mind you that they do sell drinks that are THC infused. If you in the mood you can hop on and ride the Ferris wheel...yes Ferris wheel. The service and the lines for food and drinks seem to move along at a descent pace. The grounds are well kept as well... The only thing that keeps me from getting them a five star is their parking situation. It's a real tight drive around there parking lot especially on a busy night which you do have a lot of vehicles parking on the grassy area.

    I really wanted to like Elsewhere Too, but overall, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. Parking was a nightmare. Once inside, the large space didn't feel like it was used effectively. There were surprisingly few tables for how big the space is. The food itself was decent, just definitely overpriced. Not really my vibe, but I can see how the atmosphere and style might appeal to others.

    Subbing the brussels sprouts for fries cost extra, wasn't told this upfront.
    Liz L.

    I was surprised that the cost extra to go on and was really surprised at the cost of it. Tables are on a first come basis not surprisingly, but I thought there would be a lot more of them. The parking lot is small so car pool/ride sharing is best. I went on the weekend and was also surprised to find out they only serve a limited menu all day, but online and at the order window it doesn't seem to say it. Only once I started to order did I find out any details. You can't order regular drinks at the food window, only at the bar. They do not have fountain drinks or ice tea. Only canned nonalcoholic beverages. The food was good, nothing spectacular, but decent. Over all it wasn't as kid friendly as I was lead to believe, but would go back with just adults on a Thursday evening or something.

    hosted my book club here twice now and the atmosphere is perfect, plenty of tables to pick from, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks offered

Located in La Cantera and with a large red Toro aka Bull in front cannot miss it. Sat at the bar for an after dinner wine and their signature 86 cocktail. Service was friendly and even had live Spanish music . Their authentic Spanish menu was definitely worth a visit but cannot comment on food till next visit. This is a beautiful area to walk at night with many shops and absolutely will visit next time in SA.

    I am so glad I decided to try Toro yesterday. I reserved a table for 5 at 5 pm pn a Friday inside…read moreby a window through their site. No charge for reserving. From the moment you approach the restaurant- Not even walk in- you are greeted by a professional and hospitable staff. In the front 2 young workers gave us sangria samples and helped take my photo. So smiley and kind. Then I checked into my table at the host stand. Our table was in a gorgeous lit room by the stairs. The inside was so breathtakingly beautiful and clean . The restrooms as well. Our server Omar quickly filled our drink cups with cold water and took our actual drink order. They have premium lemomades and also fountain drinks with free refills. When he returned he gave us great recommendations from their 8 dollar tapas menu on happy hour (M-F 3-6). We ordered 3: Tacos de Cochinita Pibil / Slow cooked pork marinated in achiote sauce . Calamares Fritos / Fried steak calamari w/ alioli sauce ... Albondigas / Five Spanish pork meatballs marinated in wine tomato sauce with bread .... The bread with the meatballs should be toasted and it was cold. The calamari were AMAZING. Not chewy at all. And tacos unique and flavorful. It took a while to decide but with Omar's guidance and a lot of research beforehand, I reccomend large parties order these to get the best tasting experience: Parrillada Española / Spanish grilled feast with morcilla, 4oz Spanish sirloin, chistorra, three fried jumbo shrimp, and poached potatoes with alioli Toro Paella / Toro's Classic recipe voted best in San Antonio! Jumbo shrimp, mussels, chicken, calamari, pork belly & spanish chorizo . The grilled platter came out first very fast and the meats were delectable. Love the sausage. Again... toast the bread but everything else was delicious. The paella didn't take long at all. It lived up to our expectations. Delicious and hot, enough to fill us up with whatever room was left. The nicest part was Omar brought us complimentary shots of some sort of strawberry cocktail with a chili rim. He was so thoughtful and brought my sister who was 12 a non alcoholic version. We cheered to a good time. It was so good!!! Then we asked for dessert recommendations. Omar suggested the Torrijas / Classic spanish dessert, bread soaked in sweet cream, fried & drizzled in honey .. so that's what we got. It was SO yummy like tres leches French toast. With their website you get a 30 dollar off first visit coupon using the inkind app. I signed up and it worked perfectly. After the discount all that food came out to $150. Insane for a party of 5. I tipped 30 and using that inkind app got 30 dollars cash back to use anywhere on the app. But ill use it here. Come to TORO for a great time. Linger. Talk. Enjoy unique flavors. Felt like going to Spain.

We were celebrating a birthday, and what should have been a special evening turned into a frustrating experience because of the service. Our server was rude and dismissive throughout the meal. I understand everyone has off days, and normally I would leave it at that. However, what was even more disappointing was the manager's response when I brought up the issue. Rather than taking the concern seriously and making any effort to improve the situation, he seemed more amused than concerned. The server's name started with an "R," which may help identify her. I do have her full name now. More importantly, management should determine which manager was working on July 20 around 7:15 PM because the lack of professionalism from both the server and the manager reflects a much larger customer service problem. Looking at the restaurant's ratings, it's hard to believe this was an isolated incident. The manager's reaction made it clear why so many guests leave disappointed. Good restaurants know that service recovery matters just as much as the meal itself. A sincere apology and an effort to correct the issue would have gone a long way. I hope ownership takes this feedback seriously and provides additional customer service training. Guests spend their hard-earned money here and should feel valued, especially when celebrating important occasions.

The first issue was using the InKind app. We spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to use it because ordering ahead wasn't working, and none of the employees seemed familiar with the process. One employee was patient, friendly, and genuinely tried to help us figure it out, which I appreciated. After finally placing our order, we were told it would take about 15 minutes. Instead, we waited roughly 40 minutes, and didn't receive our food until 11:00 p.m., right at closing. I understand we came during the last hour before closing, which is why I specifically asked if we had enough time. If the kitchen was backed up or our order was going to take 40+ minutes that late in the evening, I would have completely understood. I just wish we had been told that up front instead of being quoted 15 minutes. By the time we received our food, it was closing time. Thankfully we ordered it to go, because if we'd planned to eat there, we wouldn't have had the opportunity. When our food was finally ready, the bag was already ripping because something inside had leaked. The employee noticed right away, grabbed two new bags, and repacked everything, which I appreciated. We ordered quite a bit to sample the menu: the Cali Chick (lettuce wrapped), Hot Chick, Buff Chick, Little Mule, Totchos, onion strings, sweet potato fries, and a Teriyaki Chicken Caesar Wrap (which we haven't tried yet, so I can't comment on that one). Unfortunately, the food we did eat was very disappointing. The lettuce-wrapped Cali Chick was a mess--the lettuce was so wilted it couldn't even function as a wrap. The onion strings, Totchos, and sweet potato fries had all lost their crispness by the time we got them, and everything was lukewarm or cold. The Little Mule ended up being our favorite burger, while the Hot Chick definitely delivered on the spice. Ironically, the sweet potato fries were my favorite side, even though they came in the smallest portion. Our total was over $100 before the InKind discount, and I honestly wouldn't pay full price for this meal. The quality just didn't match the price. I don't know if the kitchen was short-staffed or if something else was going on that night, but waiting 40 minutes after being quoted 15 minutes--especially with almost no one else ordering--only to receive cold, soggy food was incredibly disappointing. I do want to give credit to the employee who helped us. He was polite, apologized several times for the delay, and even repacked our order when he noticed the leaking bag. Unfortunately, the overall experience and food quality just didn't live up to the price. Based on this visit, I couldn't justify spending over $100 for the experience we received. I hope this was just an off night, but it was disappointing enough that I felt it deserved a 2-star review.
