Located about one mile north of Downtown San Antonio, the Pearl District is a vibrant neighborhood regarded for its rich history and exciting modern offerings. The Pearl was once a brewery, in operation from 1883 to 2001. Today, the Pearl has been repurposed into a culinary and cultural destination, as well as one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in San Antonio.
Nestled on the banks of the San Antonio River, the Pearl spreads across 22 acres with an array of chef-driven restaurants, specialty shops, laidback bars, luxury apartments, office space, and the third campus of the Culinary Institute of America. The Pearl fosters a close sense of community with a bevy of events, including Tamales! At Pearl, the Echale Latino Music Estyles, and the year-round Pearl Farmers Market.
The neighborhood is also home to the Amphitheatre at Pearl, which hosts numerous live performances and special events on a regular basis.
