In an ever-shifting city like San Antonio, restaurant closures happen all the time. But that doesn\u2019t make losing your favorite neighborhood haunt sting any less. Before the mirror ball drops, we\u2019re looking back on all of Alamo City\u2019s upscale hot spots, neighborhood breweries, and dive bars that shuttered in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Amp Room
After a decade of rocking the St. Mary\u2019s Strip, this watering hole announced its last call<\/a> in October. The bar was one of San Antonio\u2019s few live music venues that booked local acts.<\/p>\n

Bandit BBQ & Burgers
In March, this burger joint surprised San Antonio by reopening after a three-year break. Just as suddenly, the restaurant threw in the towel<\/a>, closing in October after only a seven-month revival.<\/p>\n

Barrio Dogg
Less than a year after opening its sole San Antonio outpost, the California-based hot dog restaurant announced its closure<\/a> in February. The Southtown building is now the home of Julian\u2019s Pizza & More<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bunz Handcrafted Burgers
The gourmet San Antonio burger joint closed its location<\/a> at N Loop 1604 in May. The shutter comes just two years after the San Antonio burger restaurant expanded beyond its downtown flagship.<\/p>\n

Carriqui
After three years in San Antonio, this South Texas-inspired restaurant left Pearl\u2019s nest<\/a> in October. The district’s developer, Silver Ventures, has yet to announce what will become of its meticulously renovated former home.<\/p>\n

Cascabel Mexican Patio
One of San Antonio’s best-kept dining secrets whispered a goodbye<\/a> in July after 23 years. The restaurant, known for its vibrant interior and traditional interior Mexican fare, announced its immediate closure via a video<\/a> mournfully scored by Ozzy Osbourne’s “Mama, I’m Coming Home.”<\/p>\n

Chela\u2019s Tacos
It was a wrap for the beloved decade-old San Antonio taqueria in October. The restaurant quietly closed<\/a> its Broadway restaurant with only a handwritten note taped to the door.<\/p>\n

Chilaquil
It\u2019s unclear just when this Pearl food hall staple closed its doors, but Jason Dady will soon use its former space for a revived version of the shuttered favorite Umai Mi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Comfort Cafe Los Patios
The favorite San Antonio brunch spot closed its flagship location<\/a> in the Los Patios development in July. Since then, the owners have debuted a new bakery and coffee shop called Sweet Serenity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dashi Sichuan Kitchen
After four years serving San Antonio\u2019s Northeast Side diners, this Chinese standout unexpectedly called it a day<\/a> in early November. But ever-busy owner Kristina Zhao isn\u2019t taking a rest. After saying goodbye to Dashi, she said hello to a new nonprofit, Ciao & Zen Collective<\/a>, located in the former home of The Good Kind.<\/p>\n

Dry Dock Oyster Bar
One of San Antonio’s most well-recognized restaurants left the harbor <\/a>after 43 years. Geu Kim, the longstanding owner of the iconic boat-shaped building, sold the business to an Odessa restaurateur in order to retire in May. The spot is now a new concept, Crab City.<\/p>\n

Freetail Brewing
The popular Alamo City brewery scaled back operations in late October amid continued market struggles for San Antonio’s craft beer scene \u2014 quietly closing<\/a> its nine-year-old Southtown taproom and whittling down its local footprint to one brewpub.<\/p>\n

La Fruter\u00eda
Johnny Hernandez retired the original location<\/a> of this fruity Southtown shop in January, shifting gears<\/a> to open a combined Burgerteca and Blue Moon Mexican Restaurant. The concept will reappear in 2026 at Southtown Food Hall in a former warehouse space.<\/p>\n

General Public and Bowl & Barrel
The Dallas company behind these decade-old Rim concepts unceremoniously closed<\/a> both locations with identical statements. Neither the bowling alley nor the public house extended its lease past August.<\/p>\n

The Good Kind
After three years at Pearl and six in Southtown, the health-conscious snack bar is gone for good<\/a>. Chef and owner Tim “The Girl” McDiarmid permanently closed the trend-setting San Antonio restaurant in October, while the Ivy Hall event and catering businesses live on under new ownership.<\/p>\n

Good Time Charlie\u2019s
The party is over<\/a> for the iconic Broadway restaurant. In October, founder Millard Stetler sold the property to the Doseum after 46 years of live music, crispy onion rings, and chicken-fried steak.<\/p>\n

The Hayden Alon Market
Two years after expanding to the Alon Market shopping center, the Jewish-inspired San Antonio diner called it a day<\/a> on its sluggish second location in May. The original outpost on Broadway remains a popular spot, and the space has since been converted into Andrew Weissman\u2019s Max\u2019s Sister<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Palomar Comida y Cantina
The San Antonio Tex-Mex upstart shuttered <\/a>in September, but locals may need to do some investigative work to figure out the rest of the plotline. Signage for a new concept called Mezcal Comida Cantina has appeared on the 12656 West Ave building, but whether it’s a rebrand or an entirely new restaurant is still unclear.<\/p>\n

Peggy\u2019s on the Green
