Ah, San Antonio, a city bursting with rich culture and mouthwatering food. However, this summer has been a tough one for our beloved local dining scene. Traditionally, the sunny season sees a dip in restaurant and bar activity, but this year feels particularly rough. As many businesses struggle to recover from the lingering effects of the pandemic, some well-known names in the local hospitality are sadly waving goodbye.
With the post-Covid hangover still causing headaches, rising economic anxieties, and folks opting for “coldcationing”—that’s vacationing in colder destinations during summer—it’s been a harsh reality for many establishments. The closure of several beloved restaurants is part of a broader trend, prompting a group of local business heavyweights to create a Business Community PAC aimed at rallying support and assistance for struggling enterprises.
If you’re a regular at any of these local gems, the list of departing restaurants might tug at your heartstrings:
While the closing of these iconic spots can feel disheartening, it has never been more vital to rally together and support local businesses that remain. Each visit to restaurants and bars not only helps keep them afloat but also shows that we care about the culinary diversity that makes San Antonio so special.
And it’s not all gloomy! Recently, Texas received notable recognition, with three restaurants highlighted on a prestigious list of favorites. One such gem, Barbs B Q, is a testament to the rich barbecue traditions infused with international flavors. The buzzing atmosphere of Simply South attracts crowds willing to wait hours for their vegetarian fare, and Viola and Agnes brings the essence of soulful Southern cooking to life.
San Antonio is resilient, and as we navigate these tricky waters together, let’s keep the spirit of dining out alive. Every meal shared supports our local treasures and ensures that our vibrant food scene continues to thrive!
