About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for outdoor dining

Boiler House at Pearl is a true Texas original. Situated in the historic Pearl Brewery complex on the San Antonio River Walk, this wine-centric restaurant occupies the former “boiler house” which powered the adjacent brewery. Lead by Executive Chef Alberto "Beto" Gutierrez, the menu focuses on grilled items from local farms and markets, with a focus on “Texas ranch-style” cuisine. These delicacies are paired with extraordinary wines from around the world (available by the glass, bottle and “to-go”), full bar, live music and a casual yet energetic atmosphere. The unique list of wines boasts some of the lowest prices in the area.

The restaurant incorporates various private dining areas suitable for private or corporate functions and an expansive outdoor patio area where guests can enjoy dining alfresco. We can host groups anywhere from 9 up to 290 guests in our unique, flexible private event spaces.

We recently dined at this steakhouse with high hopes based on the stylish decor and ambiance. Visually, the restaurant gives the impression of an trendy nicer experience, but ultimately, it felt like a standard steakhouse dressed up in nice surroundings. Our server unfortunately seemed disinterested throughout the evening. There was minimal engagement, and no effort was made to explain the menu, specials, or make recommendations—which took away from what could have been a more polished dining experience. The interior, while beautifully designed, was extremely loud, making it difficult to hold a conversation without raising our voices. This made the atmosphere feel more chaotic than enjoyable. Overall, while the aesthetics are impressive and the food was decent, the service and noise level left a lot to be desired. A little more attentiveness and a quieter setting would go a long way in elevating the overall experience.

Nick was our server and he was Amazing! Being in the F&B industry for 25 years, I am very critical. He made several recommendations and was spot on with every single recommendation he made. He had just the right amount of table presents, not overbearing and did not check on us too much but also did not let us need to ask for anything. Could not have asked for anything better!

We had brunch on Father’s Day. The food was excellent but service was slow, not because of our server, but because the kitchen was backed up. The server was very attentive and apologetic, and because of the delays, comped a dessert. Regardless of this experience, we will be back.

Went for Father’s Day dinner on the Saturday evening before. It was just an okay experience. Waters’s I believe was newer, and didn’t really know the menu at all so it was a little back and forth between her and the back staff. We ordered our drinks first and then about 10 minutes later ordered our appetizers and main entrees. The appetizers came out in 2 minutes after ordering and before we even received our drinks. The timing was just way off and kind of threw the evening off. It took about 45-50 minutes for our entrees to arrive and it wasn’t very busy yet. Food was okay, I don’t know if it was as good for the price point offered though. The ribeye came out with a crazy amount of whipped butter on it, that was a sign that it wasn’t either the best quality or they needed to add some sort of flavor to it. It was under seasoned but okay. They had someone with a camera going around to different tables asking to take photos of them that seemed a little gimmicky. I was thinking this place would be on a level close to Perry’s, Myron’s, or J Prime and it just wasn’t at all on that level.
