Beacon House is a 100-year-old building nestled in the heart of the Beacon Hill neighborhood, just north of downtown San Antonio. In 2017, The Park Community Church was generously gifted this charming building and renovated it to create a multi use space that is perfect for coworking, events, meetings, or seminars. Both coworkers and event rentals have access to kitchenettes on both floors of the building, free Wi-Fi, private meeting rooms, flexible large group spaces, virtual meeting capabilities, and audio/visual equipment. Beacon House is also the home to a suite of licensed professional counselors who welcome clients in a safe, private area of the building. We understand the importance of mental health but know that seeking counseling can sometimes be cost-prohibitive. To ease this burden, we are proud to use a portion of the profits generated from coworking and event rental fees to create a scholarship fund that can be used to offset counseling costs.

I cannot thank the staff enough for being extremely attentive and professional the day of and throughout the evening. The dinner service was so nice and all of our guests loved the food, the vibe, and the entire experience. We had our Pastor give a blessing over my daughter in the gazebo area and it was lovely and the trees provided just enough shade and breeze to make the heat very tolerable. The private dressing room was PERFECT for the court to change for the surprise dance and have a little place to cool off when they got hot dancing. The staff kept the restrooms super clean throughout the night and were always around, so I never had to look far when I needed something (which was quite often). I was always met with a smile and outstanding attitude. Whatever the future holds, I can't wait to book another event here. We are grateful for such a special venue and epic party! My baby had the night of her life!

When I started doing Yelp reviews I considered what makes a restaurant go from being a 4 star to a…read more5 star. For me, my ratings jump between those two mythical ratings if the place goes from being somewhere I would recommend a local absolute stop by (4) and somewhere I would tell someone coming in from out of town that they shouldn't miss (5). Chris Madrids for me is a 5 all day long. This place has outdoor and indoor seating, it was a little hot when I went so I chose to stay inside. I was able to grab a table but I would caution against assuming you will be able to as a lot of seating is outside, and when it's midday in a San Antonio summer everyone is trying to stay inside. Outside does have some shade and stuff to help with the heat, but still it's something to be aware of. You walk in and walk up to a counter to order, the employee at the cashier was very friendly and helped my wife figure out what kind of shake she wanted. You then get a number and take your seat to wait for your food. So let's talk about that food. First we got a medium fry to share and let me attest it is plenty for two people. The fries are clearly made in house and while I would not say they were stand out, they do the trick for fries. Dip them in ketchup and enjoy between bites of burger. My wife is a huge cheese lover so she had to get the Cheddar Cheezy burger. I don't know exactly what I was expecting but when this came out dripping with ooey and gooey cheddar cheese coming off the bun I was stunned. I took one bite to try, and this is not just cheese, it's delicious cheddar cheese melted just right and covering the burger. Huge win and very tasty and juicy. I got the tostada burger which came shortly after my wife's and to be honest at this point I was a little unsettled in my surety that I had ordered correctly. I could imagine it would stand up to the Cheddar Cheezy. I was, in fact wrong as heck. This burger is what bumped this place in my mind from "great burger place in town" to "you have to bring your friends here". It's different, it's a texture adventure with the crunchy chips and the smooth beans and the meat patty once again comes to let you know he didn't hold back either. Not just a delicious burger, a delicious San Antonio coded burger that I can't imagine anywhere else. In short, Chris Madrids is swinging way above their weight class here. It's well priced, fun atmosphere and delicious food that doesn't feel like it could exist anywhere else.

A group of us came in on a weeknight for a business dinner. The staff was friendly, the place is…read morebeautiful and nicely decorated, and the menu is quite appealing. We sat on the back patio for dinner on a day when it was 100 degrees out and there were fans all over to help keep the air flowing, which helped immensely. They have some interesting cocktails, such as their jalapeño cucumber margarita which is made with ghost pepper infused tequila. Their salsa tray is nice too, they have 4 to select from and you get three in this appetizer, but we ordered the 4th as well and all were pretty nicely done. The verde was amazing and the roasted tomato was great, just not spicy at all. I tried their combo fajitas and was thankful they came out being simply plated, rather than on the blazing hot, sizzling skillet - I don't need the show, just the good eats. The meats were decent, the beans were amazing. The tortillas were just ok, as I felt like they were way too thick. They offered corn tortillas too, but I'm in Texas, so you get flour, not corn. Save room for dessert, they have amazing churros! Overall, this was a decent visit. Service was nice too. I'd recommend stopping in.

However, the average tenant doesn't seem to be Trinity students, it seems to maintain an exclusive atmosphere. The reinforced concrete structure is clad with stucco and cast stone details of Spanish Colonial Revival. The building has a roof balcony, which takes up the entire roof.

The view of downtown and hill country is amazing--especially at sunset. My husband and I got married here and it was the best place in town to tie the knot. It would be good for any special dinner or special occasion though. They have a large space on the floor below the terrace that you could do a dinner inside, and the terrace is an amazing space for dancing and/or the ceremony. The managers couldn't be more helpful and fantastic which is helpful when you don't need any more stress. They do tours of the space at sunset regularly (call for schedule), and it really gives you a great idea of how magical and breathtaking your night can be. If you are looking for the perfect space, you have to check it out. You'd never know that it is there, but if you are looking for an event space then you should!

My husband, Phil, and I waited for 3 years for this wedding because of COVID. At first, it was going to be at Wedgewood Brittany Hill in CO, then it got cancelled because of COVID, then Wedgewood Carmel in CA when things started to reopen, and finally we moved it to Hofmann Ranch because my mom is struggling with complications from her double knee replacement surgeries that were postponed because of COVID and she couldn't fly to CA. The day before our wedding, Southwest cancelled Phil's best man's and his wife's flights, Phil's cousins' flights, and my friend's flights and my uncle had to drive all the way from San Diego the day before the wedding. We were beyond worried and devastated. Because of the Hofmann Ranch team, we felt so secure and so loved and our families and friends were able to meet each other for the first time and connect with each other. Britney thought of everything: making sure that my mom had a place to sit so that she could march with me halfway down the path of the patio deck, she held onto my train, she made a water color Phannie drink sign that was gorgeous, she made sure that we ate, she thought of every single detail and schedule change when our families kept talking and singing (this is what happens when you get a whole bunch of Filipinos together LOL), she made sure that Phil and I ate food, and there are countless other things that I am sure that we don't know about. Giving Britney my bouquet was the only way that I could say how grateful I was for creating a magical place and experience in spite of all the obstacles. Phil and I are so thrilled and feel like we were destined to be married at Hofmann Ranch. You have a special place in our hearts. I hope that your mother liked the bouquet. This is what giving it to you means to me.  We would like to express our love and gratitude to Britney, Sara, Chef Daniel, Mark, Joey, Josh, and the Limelight Photography team. Each of you made our day absolutely wonderful. Additionally, Cynthia's cake design and William's flowers were beautiful! I think that anyone who is getting married needs to go to Hofmann Ranch and that Britney and her team need to do their weddings! Thank you to everyone else that we communicated with at Wedgewood over the years and in the months leading up to our celebration. Creating a beautiful experience where our families and friends could meet for the first time and have fun was truly a gift. Have a wonderful New Year and thank you so much for an unforgettable experience. Each of you are a true blessing. May God bless you and your family always and may the Force be with you! With much love and gratitude, Phil and Annie #phannie2020

Everything was well timed, except when we were trying to get the check. All the staff seemed to be kind and professional. The patio is lovely, but I imagine it can be uncomfortable in the summer heat. Now for the food. Overall it was good. I found some components spectacular, but felt like some lacked seasoning. I was looking forward to the arancini the most. The croquet itself was crunchy and that cheese was definitely telefono style, but needed some seasoning. The pomodoro was tasty, but the basil made it fabulous. Y'all know how I feel about basil. The ravioli was filled with spinach, mushroom, and ricotta with a brown butter sage sauce. It was delicious and the portion was perfect. My favorite part though was the crunchy shitaki "bacon"and butternut squash. I would take a bowl of that in a heartbeat and would absolutely go back for a butternut squash main dish. It was perfectly roasted and full of flavor and those shitaki were amazing. The preserved lemon vinaigrette over lettuces was phenomenal. Incredible fresh flavor. Desert was chocolate torte and sour cream ice cream. The ice cream was the absolute star of the show. The sweet vanilla was incredible. I sampled the halibut and shrimp and it was perfectly cooked. I would definitely come back to try other offerings.
