Great service and superior bathroom. Service was outstanding. Beer was grade A, but pizza was just OK. Really loved the 401K brew.
We had been to Freetail before for beer but had never tried their food. After walking over 6 miles on the San Antonio river trail in scorching heat and humidity, we needed to rehydrate with some electrolytes. Recognizing our exhaustion from the walk, our waitress promptly seated us in the coolest area of the room and provided refreshing ice waters to rehydrate. Her attentiveness throughout our visit was remarkable, and we absolutely loved her! Our thirsts were quenched with beer; my personal favorite is Bat from Helles, and my husband's was the Conserveza. To accompany the drinks, we ordered the club Cobb Salad and Greek salad with an additional gyro for $3. It turned out to be one of the best salads I've ever had! The club salad had tender and lean chicken breast, along with eggs, bacon bits, avocado, and fresh lettuce. My Greek salad was phenomenal! The gyro meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, complemented by thick chunks of feta, tomatoes, red onions, and fresh romaine, without being overloaded with dressing. It was so fresh, crisp, and bursting with flavor that I can't wait to eat it again!
Really good beers to have on our way in to downtown San Antonio. We tried several sips of their IPAs.. Helles... blonde Ales. Made it hard to choose. Sit inside and watch a game or on the patio and see a train. If ya don't like my rhyme.... Do a few beers and give it some time.
Great service, decent beer i just got confused where the entrance was. Big screen tv will be a cool spot to watch a game
One of my favorite places to go on a Thursday. The Speed Burro running group meets up here on Thursday nights at 6:30 PM and runs a 5K. Then we all enjoy the delicious food and beer at this establishment.
Good selection of beer, great pizza, laid back brewery warehouse vibes with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. Greek pizza was Very Good and not just for pub standards. Very busy for Wednesday night due to an SAFC local soccer game watch party, but the staff did an excellent job getting food and beers out to everyone quickly.
I love it here! We came back in Sept 2023 after a day at the zoo! We were immediately greeted by Sam! He took our order, was attentive and polite. Always checkin on us and making sure everything was good. The food was amazing! The pizza is great, that crust is delicious and I'm not a crust person! Here I AM. Ever since we have been back for Eclipse Viewing! We had pizza once more early in the morning lol and chips with brisket cheese! YALL got to try that! We came back again last night! Finally Sam was in!He was again super nice and attentive! I'm glad people like him exist! Great person overall and adds to the experience. Freetail is also LE/ MILITARY FRIENDLY. We were happy because we ate at our favorite pizza place, we took a date night on Wed , without plan and it was great! They have big screens playing the games! We had date night special two tap beers and a med pizza! $28 can't beat it. Of course we had to get chips and queso! And topped it off with a cheesecake! Anyways! Look no further! This place is a south of downtown gem! A San Antonio Gem!
Bat's hell draft beer was good. Greek pizza small was different with good cheese, peppers, gyro meat. Service was good. Ambiance is like a sports bar.
What a great establishment providing a wonderful día de Los Muertos experience. Excellent beer, live music, Día De Los Muertos arts/crafts a varied live event executed superbly!
I've been seeing this place and finally was able to check it out for the yoga and pour on Friday night. The yoga was so good! Although it was toasty, it was a really good class. And the beer afterwards was the cherry on top! I've tasted FreeTail before at a few spots around SA, so I knew I liked their beer. The IPA, 401k, was . Easy to drink. Hops flavor on point. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. Will be back since it's literally up the street!
I've noticed every year more and more events are being planned specifically around, "Dia De Los Muertos." There are food, drink and now the city's first river parade to celebrate it. So why not an event named after a local craft beer? Well the Freetail Brewing Co. has been doing one for a decade named after you guessed it, a seasonal beer. It's called "La Muerta", a much sought after stout in the craft beer circle. I have been wanting to do this event for years but like Pat Benatar says, "Life's what happens when you make other plans." Needless to say I bought general admission tickets for $30 bucks and some change. The price includes a sample glass, eight tickets for 8 small pours and a bottle of "La Muerta." Initially when I came I was anticipating a full house. Instead the crowd was at a manageable level, you could freely maneuver through. In keeping with the theme there were artisan's booths, mariachis and people dressed in elaborate costumes. In the main area where the brewing tanks are stationed a sample pouring table is set up. They had different variants of "La Muerta" alongside beers pulled from their cellar. Looking at the sample glass and the size of the pours one assumes if the price merits what's served. However the samples are deceptively strong and sneak up on you. By my fifth pour I was feeling as limber as a ghost. My only critique is in the seating arrangements. There were little to no available tables once it was in full swing. Even the usage of communal benches limits the spacing of this event. Next year they need to increase possible seating or allow you to bring your own chairs. In addition whole pours were not being sold if you enjoyed a specific variant. I thought this was kinda lame but not a dealbreaker. I know that a limited supply of barrels are created for the festival. I hope next year they will reconsider allowing you to buy limited snifter sized pours. Having said all these things this festival is still unique. The crowd are all stout- hounds who want to taste a beer that is here from a short time, then is gone. It almost seems like a metaphor for life. Ok I'll stop my Waldo Emerson stylings, at least for now. If you wanna try something different and you love local craft beer like myself go seek this event. It happens only once a year. Don't forget to leave a drink for your loved ones. Hopefully one day someone will return the sentiment back.
Full menu since our last visit. We got The Greek...amazing pizza. Also live their Caesar salad (real anchovy taste). Beer selection always stellar, although I chose a cider tonight. Will be back! Great vibe!

This brewery is in a run-down area so I was a bit apprehensive to try it. Even when pulling up to the building it's a bit unassuming but this is the definition of don't judge a book by its cover. The inside has a funky gothic vibe to it. The staff were super helpful and welcoming. The beer was great but the best thing about our visit was the pizza - holy crap was it good. We enjoyed a sweet Italian bbq pizza and it was incredible, we had no trouble finishing the pizza in one sitting. Once you're past the outdoor aesthetic you're in for a real treat! read more
We had a great event here at Freetail. I had no idea they had this venue available, but my teammate found this place and had plenty of parking, plenty of indoor space and plenty of beer. Our server here checked on our group continuously and made sure that the beer kept flowing. I started with a 401k Pils, but switched to a sour, the Texas Bexarliner - which was delicious. If you like beer and pizza, this place is for you. We tried the Supreme Batastrophe and the Hawaiian pizzas. Both were good. My kids enjoyed grilled cheese and fries, and then found out they had mac and cheese and ordered and destroyed one of those. Plenty of merch available and the indoor decor is full of skeletons. There were other groups that came in to hang out, and looked pleasant and happy to do so. It's open so it can get a bit loud, but nothing too disturbing. Pleasantly surprised with this brewery's venue. read more

This review is for the BREWERY near SouthTown, NOT the restaurant on 1604. The seating area is spacious but still gets packed by early afternoon on weekends. Not only can you get the regular Freetail brews here, but they're also serving a handful of Ghost Pixel brews. Ghost Pixel is a collaboration between Chaos By Design and Weathered Souls Brewing Company. I'm not sure how they ended up in the Freetail Brewery, but hey, it'll give you a reason to head down there, enjoy some cold suds, and find the answer for yourself. Brewery tours at 3p and 5p on Saturdays. You can purchase beer to go in 4 packs, 6 packs, and 22 oz bottles. Growler refills are $9 for the Freetail brands, $14 for the Ghost Pixel brands. They offer some merchandise for sale, t-shirts, pint glasses, glass growlers, and river safe metal growlers. Every 1st Saturday is comedy night and they usually have other events going on the other Saturdays of each month. Another cool thing they do is bring in local businesses for events called "pop-ups." They brought in a local gourmet popcorn place called Pink's Popcorn a while back. You could purchase a "flight" of various popcorn flavors and they were also giving away $5 gift cards to their stores. There's a locally owned cupcake company scheduled for an upcoming pop-up, so get out there and check them out. Check Freetail's website for their calendar of events for details on the Saturday events as well as the pop-ups. TIP: Drive slow if you have to park in the side parking lot. It's gravel and there are a lot of potholes and ruts. read more

Came here to watch the Super Bowl with a few friends. The place is amazing. With a view of the brewery in the back. Workers there were very friendly. I think their name was Orlando? My server, they were very nice. Made sure I was taken care of. Offer more drink for me to order. Food was good. Nothing bad of this place. If you're not a beer drinker like me. They do offer wine and cider meads. Will probably go again. read more

One of my favorite breweries that we visited on this trip. It is spacious, the painted murals are neat, board games are available to play and the beer selection is good. I started off with a flight followed by a pint of the cherry bexarliner. Freetail Brewing is a must if you are in San Antonio. read more

Awesome $4 Flights! SITREP With beer flights easily going for twice as much elsewhere, including my home turf in Sacramento, this was a welcome surprise to enjoy a variety of four (4) delicious, refreshing craft beers basically $1 a pop! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/freetail-brewing-san-antonio-2?select=mIJWirF3nDr4Lp1yk6QGyQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE SETUP Located inside a warehouse, the facility is spacious - plenty of room for brewing and retail storage & distribution needs. The décor inside is almost festive, giving you the impression you are celebrating Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos, with wall art and mural art going from the floor all the way to the ceiling. THE BREWS Again, they have a flight of FOUR 4-ounce glasses for only $4! The beers I pulled the trigger on included: 1. Soul Doubt IPA https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/freetail-brewing-san-antonio-2?select=t1qYWf8PsXQK_YjXOAdNPQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w 2. Apotheosis https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/freetail-brewing-san-antonio-2?select=QG6CdIK7AbrUhug6MNed5w&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w 3. Belgian Hostel Style Stout; https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/freetail-brewing-san-antonio-2?select=avzOodKMLifNrfMLldlYew&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w and, 4. San Antonio Pale Ale https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/freetail-brewing-san-antonio-2?select=ro01q7VvBQNfbS4petZbPQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w All were tasty, and not bitter. PARKING Such a breeze! The brewery has it's own large parking lot. I don't think even a large party would push it over maximum lot-capacity. THE LOWDOWN If you find yourself in San Antonio, and enjoy innovative brews, definitely make Freetail Brewing one of your planned stops. read more

What a great venue! Love this place! Great selection of beer. Ridiculously cheap prices...um $4 for a tasting flight!!! FTW?! even better...the beer is actually good! Large, spacious. A couple of TV's for watching events. Lots of cool artwork and murals inside on the walls. Picnic table set up with board games and cards for your entertainment. The only downside, there is no food nearby as the brewery is in the middle of nowhere... read more

Really enjoyed this brewery. Came with a group of Yelpers on Sunday afternoon of Yelp Spring Break on a trek of several breweries that day and we spent the most time here. The beers were good, the atmosphere is fun with a graffiti/dia de los muertos theme running through the building. We did not tour, but just drank. They did not have food, but they did have some comp popcorn which was MUCH appreciated! I need just a little bite to go with my beer! Its kind of out in the toolies, not much around there, so eat first! Overall, liked it. Would return. Recommended! read more
This place is such a find! Fantastic beers at dirt cheap prices!! All pints $4 and 4-taster flights $4...say what!? I could do some damage here...especially on my Austin beer budget! Highly recommend the Komorebi...for real, this beer is beergasmic! Solid with sweetness on the front palate, belgian yeast in the middle palate, and the tang of being aged in mezcal barrels on the finish. Also recommend the #whalezbro, which is complex as well...I promise you will thank me! The Witicus is very true to style! I also dug the space and the staff here...they are super nice and hooked me up w/some samples (if you are a hop-head try the Cask Dry-hopped Oktoberfiesta...it is beautifully aromatic and so smooth w/just enough hops to give you the piney bite without the regret)! I can see myself making a detour here everytime I'm in SA! read more

It was our first time here for my husbands birthday and our anniversary. It was a blast! We had Caleb (Kaleb?) as our server and he was super attentive and had some great recommendations. We loved his recommendation when it came to appetizers, we got the nachos and added mozzarella to the chili nachos and they were soooo good! The vibe of the place was super calm and relaxing (on a Wednesday afternoon). 12/10 recommend if you have the change to meet Caleb know you're in good hands! read more
In town for a work retreat, and stopped off here after dinner. We were only able to stay for an hour or so, but from what I saw, this place is super cool. You can order a flight of any 6 beers on tap, I recommend the dark saison, it was delicious, and different than anything I've had before. The space itself had a warehouse type feel, picnic benches setup for seating, and games like a giant connect 4. Overall pretty similar to a lot of the breweries I hang out at in San Diego. read more
