We had the best experience at Southerleigh Brewing Company! From the beautiful, historic setting in the Pearl to the bold Southern-Coastal flavors, everything was on point—but what really made our visit unforgettable was our server, Julia. She was absolutely phenomenal! Attentive, warm, and super knowledgeable about the menu—she made us feel so welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. If you’re in San Antonio and haven’t been to Southerleigh, you’re missing out. Huge thanks again to Jukia for making our night so special. We’ll definitely be back!

I didn’t try the food here, but reviews are good. I can hear for the beer and the atmosphere, none of which disappoint. This a very unique hotel with amazing architecture and use of the industrial and other original elements, yet it manages to be very warm and welcoming at the same time. The brewery is at one the corners of the Mai. Building and it can be accessed through the hotel lobby or from the outside. I tried one their lighter ale and it was fantastic. This is a must see place.

We had a wonderful lunch at Southerleigh! The industrial-chic setting inside the historic Pearl Brewery is absolutely stunning — rustic charm meets elevated style, with brewing tanks overhead and vintage details throughout. We ordered the House Salad, which was fresh and crunchy with romaine, pickles, tomatoes, shaved cheese, and a creamy house dressing on the side — simple but flavorful. The Melon & Berries dish was bright and refreshing, loaded with watermelon, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, and a touch of mint, paired with a whipped cream topping that brought it all together beautifully. I also had a Ritual Tequila NA cocktail (from their non-alcoholic menu), and it was absolutely delicious — fruity, zesty, and beautifully presented with a chili rim and dried citrus slice.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery in 2024, and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of rustic charm and modern elegance. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making sure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The menu offers a delightful variety of Southern-inspired dishes, each crafted with creativity and precision. Although I didn't mention my favorite dishes before, I was particularly impressed by their fresh seafood offerings and perfectly cooked meats. The dish presentation was exquisite, adding an artistic touch to the culinary experience. An added highlight was the brewery aspect, offering a fine selection of craft beers that beautifully complemented the meal. Each sip was a delightful journey in itself, providing a rich and full-bodied taste that beer enthusiasts would appreciate. Overall, I would rate my experience at Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in superb Southern cuisine with a twist.

Defenetly a must place to go. Gorgeous place. All their food was delicious and cinnamon roll is amazing. Very comfortable place to have a nice and delicious meal. The food was very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The bar tender made a delicious moktail. Wonderful place for a date or just to hang out with friends. Service was also top-notch. Waiters are friendly and if it's your first time there, they will go through all the options to ensure you have a great experience.

We had an excellent meal here. We enjoyed the fried chicken and hanger steak with Chimichurri sauce. The mashed potatoes, jalapeno grits, and broccolini were nice accompaniments. For appetizers, we ordered the corn bread, wood-fired pretzel, and warm carrot ginger soup. We liked the soup and dipping sauce for the pretzel the best. Our service was attentive. We highly recommend this restaurant. It's located in a quaint spot that offers a welcoming outdoor space.

Great experience, friendly service and fantastic food. The cornbread was so good we had to order 2 of them. We went for dinner and ordered the pork chop, one of the best I've ever had. It had a nice seared char, with tender juicy flavor. I would order this plate again today if I had the opportunity. Fantastic atmosphere here, and we made a reservation for a party of 8. They called it potatoe salad, which I'm not a fan of, however, these potatoes were cooked with bacon and were nothing like potato salad, which is a good thing. Clean, crisp, and definitely hit the spot.

We happened to stop in here for dinner and it was great. Atmosphere, beer, and food were all really good. The snapper appetizer was unique and very tasty. The pork chop was one of the best most flavorful I’ve had. And the antelope dish was a great try. Don’t sleep on the Mac and cheese it was really good and I usually skip that. Beer selection was nice and flights allowed me to try all 8 on tap. Servers were great and timely. There’s a whole second section more like a lounge we didn’t check out. Would go back.
