Downtown San Antonio's Bier Garten Riverwalk closes after more than a decade

After 10 years of raising liter steins and celebrating Oktoberfest in style, downtown San Antonio's Bier Garten Riverwalk has closed. The business shared the news last week in a lengthy Facebook post, which noted that its closure will make way for the Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, slated to open in 2027. Mad Dogs Restaurant Group CEO Terry Corless — who oversees and operates the Bier Garten Riverwalk along with establishments such as Mad Dogs British Pub, On the Bend Oyster Bar and Crockett Tavern — signed the post.
