The Pearl (former Pearl Brewery)

The Pearl is a redeveloped former brewery complex that anchors the Pearl neighborhood along the San Antonio River and is widely recognized as a neighborhood icon. The Pearl Brewery operated on the site from the late 19th century until its closure in 2001; the complex was redeveloped beginning in the 2000s and now includes restaurants, shops, a weekend farmers market, and Hotel Emma. The site preserves multiple historic brewery buildings and serves as a focal point for community events and culinary activity in the city.
