    Vixen.
    Raul Z.

    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

    Freight is such a great gallery space! They've really transformed Gallito Studios, and made it a…read moreclean, well lit, easy to navigate art space! The place has really opened up their space- it used to be crowded with a maze of tight cubicles of gallery and studios. Now, it's a wide open central gallery, with studios and smaller galleries off to the sides. In the front, they now have a coffee shop! Cool! In the back, they've paved in the side and back yards, where bands set up, and additional galleries can be found. All of the art is local, handmade, and ranges in media. Some of the art can not be purchased, as they are installation pieces. The art here is all reasonably priced, and there's a great variety of artists and vendors selling cool stuff. This place gets hopping for Second Saturday, a monthly art walk that centers around the galleries by the train tracks at South Flores. The art is just part of the scene- check out the live music too! Budding artists can rent space here to do their art, and sell it when they have events. Other than Second Saturday, you might need to book an appointment to come by many of the artists' galleries, but it seems that coffee is served all day.

I tried the one inside and although it was on the pricier end, the shrimp quesadilla was really good! -Drinks: also can be on the pricier end depending on day. Look at your receipt carefully because they did add 20% gratuity to mine last night. Overall it's a clean and spacious place but once it hits 11ish they will start labeling and adding more tables for sections (booo!) so it gets more crowded. The DJs are so good too. Bathrooms are typically clean. Funny reminder: come ready with bug spray because them TX mosquitoes were OUT!

The staff that worked our party were quick, efficient, and friendly. Overall, the party was a success and everyone had a great time. I look forward to my next outing at Maeve!

I'm fascinated by old architecture and the materials to build these places is just mind blowing to me. Anyway, we rented the place for 2 hours, captured some great shots.

It was their classic 1920's package, and I want to start off by saying I am used to throwing amazing parties and doing everything myself. Everything. I am absolutely blown away by the level of service and empathy and care that was put into this event. It wasn't like we were a wedding of 100 people... we maybe had 35. But they treated us like we were the most important guests in the world, and every detail, every tiny thing, was taken care of with upmost attention to detail and kindness. I can't say enough. The house? Spectacular. The food? Perfect. The decorations? Absolutely gorgeous. My guests were stunned. If you are looking for a unique venue with wonderful hosts... just stop looking. Book Lambermont. I would book them again in a HEARTBEAT. Thank you sooooo much for making my daughter's day unforgettable!!
