One of the state\u2019s best-known barbecue purveyors just got a steamy side hustle \u2014 literally. <\/p>\n

Terry Black\u2019s Barbecue, already stirring up the Pearl district with a new restaurant and boutique hotel at 2100 Broadway, is now diving into wellness with The Depths, a 9,800-square-foot bathhouse at 1411 Alling St.<\/p>\n

According to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, construction on the spa portion of the project is expected to start this spring and could cost about $8.3 million. Amenities will include multiple hot and cold spa rooms, cold plunges, salt floats, steam and mist rooms, and massage rooms \u2014 because nothing says \u201cdigest that brisket\u201d like a soapy soak. The spa also will feature a locker room with full spa amenities.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the San Antonio Business Journal, Terry Black\u2019s co-owner Mark Black confirmed the spring start and emphasized that the spa, while technically part of the hotel, is designed as a community amenity rather than a traditional hotel-only facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a component of the hotel but it\u2019s not really a hotel spa,\u201d Black said. \u201cIt\u2019s more open to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hotel itself, planned for completion in 2028, will have more than 40 rooms and operate independently from the barbecue restaurant, though both share the same property. Black described the hotel as a neighborhood-focused project rather than a tourist-centric one, highlighting green spaces and shared areas for community use.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I hope it continues to grow with more kinds of local-style businesses, amenities and hospitality stuff,\u201d he told the Business Journal. \u201cWe\u2019re really bullish on it. We think it\u2019s going to be something special and it already is.\u201d<\/p>\n
