Hops & Hounds

Wow!! Anytime we travel, we look for a dog friendly place that has an off leash area for the pups. This place is wonderful. The pizza was delish the coffee drinks were so good and the staff was friendly. The dog park area had tons of room and fun activities for the pups. This is a MUST stop if you have dogs. Let them get out and run around while you grab a bite to eat. Very clean and safe area for them to play in. Great job, whoever owns this!! We definitely will be back here if we are in TX again. Thanks for the fun time

I would love to give it 5 stars, but often the outdoor music is still too loud for even outdoor communication, there's not great monitoring of people leaving their dog mess around the eating areas (not enough staff or consequences for dog owners that don't use the dog poop materials provided for clean up). No cash is allowed for the coffee or beverage counter on site, so come prepared. The food is awesome at each of the trucks available. There are plenty of places to sit, with water stations posted in several spots. Staff has maintained friendly demeanor regardless of what time I've arrived, and there are plenty of shaded areas for people and pups. Plenty of room to work on your puppy/dog skills, just like any area for dogs/food/drinks, be mindful of your dog's manners and ask before up to pet new dogs!

Ambiance: Fun and open outdoor bar/food truck space with an onsite dog park perfect for dog lovers looking to enjoy a nice day! This is one of the cutest spots in San Antonio for pet owners! They offer multiple seating options, from high top tables to hammocks to picnic tables. There is also seating at the bar. Multiple TVs including a large screen at the entrance, perfect for watching a big game. Onsite coffee stand and food trucks as well as beers on tap make this the perfect spot for morning or night. Street parking available. Tons of dogs and fun dog-themed decor/backdrops. This is the perfect place for a large group hangout, solo day out with your dog, or to enjoy a nice day.

Very cool. We loved the set up! So clean, the trees provided shade, bathrooms were clean, bartender awesome, and Max had a good time! Laid back atmosphere, for sure. We were able to play ball, have margs, and then lounge out front. Very cool concept!

We were at Elsewhere next door when their ability for making cocktails left little to be desired. Meandered over to Hops and Hounds where they made us really good cocktails and mocktails. Cute place that had an agility course for your pups. Bartenders were super nice and the restrooms were clean. Glad we came upon this little spot.

Hops and Hounds caters to humans and their owners (their dogs) quite well. I actually really love this place. I love that a place like this was thought of and made reality. It quite simply has amazing aura. It's probably because of all the good pups and good people that love them all being in the same place enjoying the same thing. The staff are super friendly and helpful folks who you can tell really love dogs. Expect that if your dog looks thirsty, they will be served fresh cool water randomly by the staff, which is so wonderful! The beautiful downtown location is a lovely park-like setting near the San Antonio Museum of Art and accessible directly to the Riverwalk. It's a special spot, one of the few in the world where it's just a place to come and have a few with your best four-legged friend. Relax have a small variety of different dishes, and let those doggos play! Downloading their app allows you to purchase a day pass for your spayed/neutered dog to go run around in a fenced area with some field toys and all their other dog friends. There's also a free fenced-off area to bring them to let them go sniff around in an open field. There is plenty of shade near the bar area and comfortable couches. The picnic style tables closer to the food trucks have little lock bars to hook your leashed dog to while you eat. Everything about this place screams "dog friendly! human friendly!" Well worth a visit if you're ever looking for a place to relax and bring your dog to in downtown San Antonio, for sure!

Cool place to stop for drinks while walking the river. We are visiting from UK and loved the dog park concept. I had a really nice sour beer and my husband the strawberry wheat beer.
