The atmosphere was nice. We initially requested patio seating, but due to an event it was closed until halfway through our meal. We were moved to a nice patio location after finishing our starters. Overall, the experience was good, but more than 1 day notice regarding patio availability would have been nice.

About the restaurant

Historic Texas Country Icehouse & Premium River Walk Patio

Nestled on the edge of the historic La Villita Village is a very special place, the oldest two story rock building in Bexar county built by Otto Bombach in the mid-19th century. A pleasant surprise to behold! The Prost Haus, German by design but Texas country by application. Admire the museum like spectacle of the interior restaurant and bar architecture and slide outside to the most beautiful patio on the San Antonio River Walk. Live country music radiates as guests indulge in cool Texas brews or hand-crafted colorful cocktails. The menu items are made from scratch daily and offer delicious delicacies from hand pulled giant pretzels, Texas corned beef Reubens, and mouthwatering USDA steaks.

This is the best patio on The San Antonio River Walk to wind down, enjoy Texas country music, and watch the best sunsets in the southern USA.

Prost Y’all!

Overall food was good. Reuben egg rolls need some work. Various sausages were excellent. Reuben sandwich was spot on. Schnitzel was very light on the sauce and flavorless. Service was good. Drinks were great and beer was cold.
