Here is a video of one of our old brewery abandoned in our city; our very own Lone Stare Brewery. The first location, built in 1884, now has been renovated into a museum which is now San Antonio Museum of Art. This second location is on the south of downtown along the San Antonio River. Probably not seeing any renovation or plans in the future but communities and one of the city council are trying to revive this historic place. If you ever visit this place and want to see this old brewery, here is some advice.
- Recommend to go during the day and before dusk.
- Do not go on the abandoned property or you will get a fine.
- Do not park in the mid-street, carefully find an area where you can park and not abrupting the traffic.
- Take as many pictures outside the property, and be careful with drones. If the drone happens to get stuck or fell inside the factory, please call the police.
- Do not throw things inside, respect the property.
- Do not leave your vehicle unlocked. If you do park on the side of the road, don’t go so far. If you park your car in a nearby river park, then please walk on the sidewalk towards the factory safely and not alone.
Please take lots of pictures of this jewel. The Pearl is one of them, and the old Lone Star Brewery is one also. Please be careful on the road, the area is not far from downtown and is not a bad neighborhood, but the property is in a woods area. Take care and have fun. Take a look at the video to see the inside. The person who made this short film did have permission by the owner to enter. Have a good time in San Antonio.
