We went here exclusively because of the name of the Brewery but stayed because the drinks and food were delicious! They have some really fun food options, we tried a goat cheese PB & j burger and it was super good, but I believe they change up their menu every so often, another hit was the Macaroni, and the jalapeno bacon jammin' burger and the fried pickles if you love fried pickles like we do then you won't be disappointed ordering them here! We tried some of their brews they had on tap and they were good! (I'm not a beer drinker but I brought two beer lovers with me to try!) They also have a large selection of other beer favorites for you to choose from! Also, we loved how friendly and kind the staff were with our kids! Friendly staff is always a bonus! Overall we enjoyed our time and will be back to try more of their beer & food! Tip: they have a kids menu but you have to ask them for it as it's not on their menu which is digital. read more

We have been to this establishment several times. Last night, things were a bit off. We ordered a small meaty pecker pizza and 10 jumbo wings. The pizza just didn't taste great. The crust was doughy and the toppings tasted off. It didn't have much cheese. We asked if they still made them from scratch and our server said nothing had changed. It just wasn't great. The wings were meh--just ok. Our server was super nice and friendly. She recommended a couple beers for us to try and we ended up ordering a second round. Very pleased with the service. They have several TVs so it was nice to watch the games playing. It wasn't too loud. I like the atmosphere. A mix of high top tables, standard tables and bar seating. I think next time we'll try something different on the menu. read more

Jocelyn was such great fun to have as a waitress. Cheerful, informative and a good sport with some of our wackiness. Great recommendations from the chef too. Glad to see it reopened and hope it does well. Good place to hang out and have some beers :) read more

Excited to try a new brewery and Mad Pecker did not disappoint! We started out with the friend mushrooms and friend pickles. The spicy ranch that comes with both dishes was tasty with the right amount of spice! We ordered the Meaty Pecker pizza and you could tell the toppings were fresh! Everything was delicious. The service was amazing. They had all the games going on the tv's throughout the restaurant. I'll definitely be back! read more

Back in San Antonio for Thanksgiving and a friend recommended we meet at Mad Pecker for drinks & dinner. I haven't been to this spot in 7 years according to help..f*ck I'm old. Anyway, the place is much like I remember: a small little pub with plenty of seating. The bartenders are friendly and the food was pretty good. It had a Cheers-like atmosphere because all the people in the place knew my friends. It seems like a pub that has regulars. I kind of like the vibe. Super friendly people, decent pub food, and good beer. What more do you need? Great spot if you're on/near the far west side of San Antonio. Sort of hidden off the main highways but that just means that on a Friday night it wasn't crowded at all. Happy to recommend. read more

Came here for a meal and drink after a long day. Service was okay, took a lot of time to come to us on several occasions and there wasn't that many people. The beer selection was subpar. The vibes were okay, the music helped. My friend got a pulled pork sandwich and said it was overly greasy so he could barely eat it. The only reason why I'm giving this a 3 star is for the ambiance and the cheese bites! Those were spectacular! read more

I'll admit without the cool name, I'd never visit. And, even then, not at night, as it's in a small strip mall, with massage parlor and maybe a tattoo place. It's not the establishment's fault that Texas isn't friendlier for Al Fresco Dining and I was outside with my three dogs sweating in % HUMIDITY and no less a swarm of flies than descended to plague Pharos' Egypt whilst gobbling down excellent fried pickles and guzzling a couple of nice Mexican style ales before insects carried too much away Service was prompt and friendly. I may even say sympathetic. We all wished I could come inside. Instead, I ordered Hawaiian Pizza to go. Crust was good, but toppings seemed skimpy and carelessly applied (see photo). read more

Thank you to my fellow Houston elites your reviews! That's how we settled on this place. I was a little hesitant when we pulled up, it's located on the end of a shady looking strip mall type thing. We walked in and right away you know the owner is a hip hop lover. Especially the homage to MF DOOM. I don't drink beer, but that's why most come here probably. The menu looked super enticing too. I ordered the bacon Mac and cheese for the table. It was beyond salty, but I love salt. Idk if it's usually that salty, it was a bit much. The mushroom burger was good and the fries were the bomb. I love crispy fries. The Astros game was on for baseball lovers like me! Go 'Stros. Our waiter was super friendly. Just a good all round vibe going on. Bar seating, high tops and a regular tables. Also seating outside. All types of patrons. Folks there for the game, couples, families. You name it. When in the area, I'd definitely hit up again! read more

Mad Pecker Brewing Company nails it when it comes to food. Their burgers, wings, and pizza are easily some of the best around--every bite is worth the trip. The beer lineup is solid too; plenty of good options, though the prices are a little high, worth it for something different. Where they stumble is service. At times it feels like the staff would rather not be bothered, which can take the shine off an otherwise great place to go. If they matched the kitchen's energy and the beer quality with a bit more genuine hospitality, this place would be unbeatable. read more

THANK YOU, BENJAMIN! Absolutely excellent service! There were two different burgers that sounded delicious, so I combined them into one burger and freaking delicious! Fried pickles were great and the kids pizzas are pretty big... probably around 10". So glad we found this place on a whim. Great place to grab a brew and a burger. read more

Had the Father's Day "Dad-Bod" burger. Holy hell. That's up there with the best burgers I've ever had. Since reopening, the tap list is slowly growing back to what it used to be. My server Gabby, was attentive and very pleasant, which was awesome considering she is a new staff member. The chef even came out to ask how the food was. Tap room had a super chill vibe. Great visit. Recommend 10/10. read more

It's been a few years since I last wrote a review, partly because I moved further away and haven't been back as often as I'd like. But now that I moved close again, it's time for an update. Years have gone by and they're still A+ in my opinion. Great beer, great food, great service, great atmosphere. This time my fiancé and I ordered the poutine and nachos, plus a couple of beers for our Friday night. Not only was it super quick, everything was phenomenal. Hands down one of my favorite places... ever. Will always continue to be back! read more

Went in for an early dinner. No one was there except a couple of people at the bar. Fried mushroom appetizer was good but very greasy; it was served with a spicy ranch dressing that tasted like Hidden Valley salsa ranch. Chicken sandwich was good, hot and tasty. Cheeseburger was bland but fries were hot, greasy and good. Probably won't return. read more

Service was so slow. We waited an hour to not get our full order. It took 45 minutes for chips and salsa to come to the table and took forever for the waitress to come and ask if we wanted anything else to drink. If you have an hour to spend to just get 2 drinks then definitely come here. read more

Been awhile since we've been in, but came about 2 weeks ago to watch the basketball game. Sat at the bar and had a good time. I had a flight (don't remember the ones I got) Bartender was very nice and attentive, she was busy but made sure to check on us since we were sitting at the bar. The Spinach artichoke dip was DELICIOUS!!! It stays warm and we asked for more chips as we continued to eat. Love this place, close to the house & good eats read more

Mad Pecker Brewing - Spinach Artichoke Dip - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is obviously a regular haunt for us. They never fail. The rotation of beer is nice, there's always something new to try. The burgers and pizza are always solid. The spinach and artichoke dip is a favorite and the messy pecker fries are my comfort food in times of crisis. The servers are always sweet and the atmosphere is laid back. They have pub quiz and music bingo on certain nights too. Couldn't be any better for a neighborhood bar. read more

Good atmosphere. People are great and friendly that work there. I generally like going to smaller bars and this one is a go. Not a make a special trip go but a go if you're close. Local brewed beers where good, the food that we had which was pizza and chicken sandwiches was good. Nothing spectacular but worth a looky read more

Had takeout. Food was great. Pricey for pizza and wings but it was good. I think we will go back soon to see the done in experience!

I wanted to give a 3.5. I'd wanted to visit for a while and finally got my chance. It just happened to be the Saturday before Valentine's Day. I wasn't expecting the setup given the then-upcoming holiday. There was a vendor just outside selling scented candles and the like. Here's what I liked: the jalapeño cheese balls were good by themselves or with the accompanying dip. We (my sons and I) got a half-and-half pizza the was hearty and delicious. I think the prices were fair. Here's what I didn't like: the scented candles' aromas were wafting in and their smells didn't compliment the foods' smells. The very outer edge of the crust was burnt. Like the outermost half inch or so; not enough to ruin the pizza, but enough to not enjoy "the crust". Lastly, just a little pet peeve of mine is when places don't have any form of uniform, even if it's a T-shirt with the location's logo. I don't love the "employees just wearing shorts and whatever shirt they happen to be wearing" vibe. That said, they were friendly and nice. My boys and I all agreed we'd like to come back to try sandwiches and burgers...just maybe not then there's a romance-themed holiday right around the corner. read more

Tucked away from the main drag, Mad Pecker has an easy going, relaxed atmosphere! The staff are friendly and attentive people! The food is delicious...we tried four items from their menu...fried pickles, pretzel and sausage, and a hamburger! We will return... read more

Absolutely love this place. Been here a few times and it keeps getting better. Had several times of pizza, and all have been great - not too saucy or too much meat, perfect pizza balance. All the apps are solid as well. We decided for fried pickles and it was delicious. The place has a great feeling to it, very laid back and chill. The service was quick and she was attentive to our orders. read more

Disappointing, gross, and a bummer. Visiting from Houston and traveling with a small dog, we were interested in a dog friendly brewery that served pizza. 'Dog friendly' as defined by this establishment are 5 wobbly fly-swarmed picnic tables in front of the building. As we approached the entrance, we were stopped by a kind patron who advised that the restaurant was not actually dog friendly and the staff did not like dogs inside of the bar/restaurant. With this in mind, I stayed outside waiting for a table free up. Luckily, the person who told us about the dog policy was leaving, so we scored their table. Otherwise, we'd be SOL. Upon verifying with a server, she confirmed, "Yeah, we don't care for the 'dog thing'. We don't like dogs inside." My husband went inside and scanned a table-top QR code to access the menu, as they do not have tangible menus. We each ordered flat-tasting beer and mediocre pizza. Their pizza tasted the equivalent of a freezer, store-bought pizza. In any case, we couldn't finish our food or beer because, together, our 4 hands swatting at all of the flies were not enough to the let us comfortably consume what we paid for. Once the flies made it into our beer, we left. We're ashamed that we stayed as long as we did - that's on us (LOL). Also, apparently, this not a family friendly place as the staff was overheard EMPHATICALLY agreeing on the idea that families with children should not be allowed to visit restaurants. Weird and unfortunate. read more

Absolutely love this place. They have the best service. The food is so on point and the beer is great that they brew. They also carry other beers on tap that they call guest taps. So they don't lock you in to just there iq of beer. It's a local neighborhood bar that doesn't make people feel unwelcome. If you walk in you feel like one of the regulars. read more

Very good atmosphere. Had their pizza, and pretzels. Great beer collection, had sports playing which I liked.

The food here was delicious. It just took forever to get appetizers and the food as well. I ordered fried pickles which were good and came with spicy ranch with option of regular ranch.

Jason and his staff, especially Rebecca, are top notch! Highly recommend the beer and steak night (Thursday). After visiting other places, you can't compare the service and closeness of the Mad Pecker. Chefs are outstanding There's a lot more to this place than just a bar. read more

Mad Pecker Brewing - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Traveling for work and I LOVE finding what the locals find...and love! Having not eaten all day, I wanted something tasty AND filling. Well, I found my heaven for the evening. A. Mad Pecker is fun to say. Period. B. It's such a groovy place. It's torn between dive bar and gastropub. I could definitely get down here as a regular. I started off with an Alamo Beer Co Coffee Milk Stout. It's a meal in itself and delicious. Delicious, I say! Had some fried mushrooms which came midway through my beer and honestly, weird to say, but the fried mushrooms are amazing! My next beer was another stout and I forgot the name but, it was equally sweet, rich, creamy...just bangin. During that, my bacon Mac n cheese came. Bartender asked if I wanted pulled pork on it. Seriously? Of course! Mac n cheese was ridiculous! Like, cheesy, gooey, creamy, delicious! After that, on Thursday's apparently they have a local brewery swing by with a few beers, order it, keep the glass. Sweet! Souvenirs. So why not get a Viva! American Ale?! Bottom line, THIS is a dope place to relax, chill, eat, and drink! Do yourself a favor and chow down with awesome food (and prices!) and amazing beer! read more
