    The Espee is a fantastic venue to see a concert. Located in St Paul Square it is a convenient place to see a show with plenty of places to eat and drink all within walking distance. Hubby and I saw Gov't Mule on 2-24-24. The grounds are beautiful and immaculate. I loved being able to walk around and no matter where you were you had a great view of the band. The sound was excellent and being able to get right up to the stage was awesome. A wonderful night and venue!

    Went here for a concert, Stryper and Vixen. Outdoor venue. Sound was great, but being there in August, was a bit rough. Plenty of space to move around. Not much seating, but they had two bars open. One indoor and one outdoor. The sound was great. Not too loud, but loud. I think this is a great place to see live music. The parking is plenty, but you have to find it and walk a bit. I don't like the beer/ drink prices. I paid $18 for a 24oz beer. On tap. Too much. Didn't ask how much mixed drinks were. I was not happy about paying that much. Bathrooms are air conditioned. That's a plus. Has security there.

    The Espee is a unique concept that focuses on historical preservation and neighborhood revitalization! The courtyard is located in front of the stage and has a beautiful fountain. There is limited seating but it is a nice area to walk around with a drink and check out the merch tables. There are is a few spots near the pavilion that have a narrow bar top to set your drinks on. The pavilion seats had a good view but I actually liked being farther away from the crowd. I would definitely like to try the VIP lounge and seating area next time. The bathrooms were clean and parking was fairly easy. I haven't seen too many shows I would like to see so hopefully their lineup choices improve. The sound quality could definitely be improved! The neighborhood is being revived but so there are still some closed storefronts and I recommend exploring during the day before a show so you can get familiar with the area. Overall an amazing venue that has so much potential!

    I'm glad to see this place return to the scene as a concert venue. I saw Ryan Adams & the Cardinals in June 2023. Prior to that, it had been close to 15 years since I last saw a show here. Parking and entry are easy. There's several bars stationed across venue but be sure to get your 21+ wrist band before getting in bar line. I sat under the pavilion and I'm glad for this show. The rear (artificial) grassy area has a good view and prices are cheaper. I can see this being an option for me depending on who's playing. The lights and sound were great, although I'm not sure how much of that is the venue or the artist's doing. Overall, a fun spot to see a show. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the lack of airflow under pavilion. It sits between two other buildings and there aren't any fans helping move the air, so it gets extremely hot down there; out in the grassy area was much more pleasant.

    This is a classy outdoor event center. Super nice, clean place. Indoor bars are convenient and cool on a hot day. The restrooms were a surprise, they are upscale and clean. I will definitely go again.

    We visited The Espee for The Margarita Pour Off. the venue is large yet intimate especially as you get closer to the main stage. There were several spots to view the stage from but honestly even if you are far from the stage you can still view the musicians. The sound is good here is well and doesn't echo like other venues. I'm definitely checking out the calendar for upcoming shows.

    Attended margarita pour off. Parking was rough with all the fiesta events going on but it was a good time

    I attended Cocktail by SA Current at the Espee and I was so impressed with the space as well as the event. I really love how the indoor and outdoor areas are so spacious that an event can flow and never seem too crowded. There were so many food and drink stations at the event with amazing food and entertainment and it was so nice because there were never lines to wait in. The bars inside are lovely and the venue and bathrooms are clean and aesthetically appealing. This was a wonderful venue for a wonderful event.

    Formally Sunset Station (#1), The Espee is part of the downtown revitalization that is slowly becoming one of the coolest parts of the city. Nestled next to St. Paul Square and a historically significant site (#2), it has morphed into one of the most interesting and multi-faceted venues in all of San Antonio. I recently attended an event here and was blown away at all the resources on the property. From their pavilion to their open space plaza, this is a dream spot for just about any special occasion. Whether it's a wedding, a private social gathering, or a massive concert, I am convinced this is one of the places to do it. Compared to its previous iteration, they've done an outstanding job at updating the place and it's an impressive operation all around. The versatility of the space(s) and amenities at hand make this a true destination for locals and visitors to the city. ________________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/sunset-station-san-antonio (#2) Uber famous train station.

    First time visiting this concert venue and it was a blast. We saw the Josh Abbott Band, and had a great time because there were several bar areas set up to get drinks. The location was very well-kept. All of the staff was very friendly. If you have a chance to watch a concert here definitely come.

    Amazing Outdoor Venue with a nice additional lounge. SP lounge is one of my favorite spaces!

    Got to experience the espee by an iHeart radio event. This place is very spacious inside and out. I was very amazed by the restrooms because usually event venues they are basic stalls and sinks. Downside were the Drinks , they were 18$ for a small cup. Parking situation they have vip parking or you can park on the sides with parking meters.

    Unprofessional security

    My daughter and I recently visited the San Antonio Glasshouse, as she is in the very early stages…read moreof searching for a wedding ceremony and reception venue. Driving up to the venue, it was nice, but it didn't have quite the "wow" factor that the online photos and videos had led us to expect but it was the customer service that was the biggest disappointment of our visit. We had a scheduled appointment to tour the venue with a staff member. Throughout our entire meeting, she remained seated and wore sunglasses the majority of time. She never offered to walk us through the property or show us the different areas of the event space. Although she had printed pricing sheets sitting in front of her, she initially told us that all of the pricing was available online. While that is true, my daughter eventually had to ask for one of the printed sheets that was already on the table. Since we are just beginning the planning process and had not yet selected a wedding date, we understood that an exact quote could not be provided. However, that should not have prevented us from receiving a proper tour of the venue and learning more about what it has to offer. I eventually asked if I could walk to the ceremony area in the back of the property. The GlassHouse Staff Member said I could, but she did not accompany me or provide any information about the space. As I walked through the ceremony area, I realized it simply wasn't the atmosphere or experience we were looking for. We drove a considerable distance specifically to tour this venue, so the lack of engagement and hospitality was disappointing. A venue tour should leave prospective clients excited and inspired. Instead, we left feeling like our appointment was an inconvenience. During our conversation, the staff member also mentioned that the venue is already booking events into 2028. Congratulations on your success--that certainly speaks to the venue's popularity. However, every prospective client deserves the same level of attention and professionalism, regardless of where they are in their planning journey. Based on our experience, this is not the venue we will be choosing for our daughter's wedding/reception.
