Very cool place. The inside has an emphasis on bikes (my being a cyclist obviously likes this). The beer is great, and servers are nice and very helpful. The food is your standard american comfort food, with a few exceptions (like jerk chicken). The food is pretty good and has the feel of being home made rather than the somewhat industrial feel to the food at say chilis or applebees. Unfortunately the food is just good and not great.

However, this is a very cool place to hang out, especially if you can get a table outside when the weather is nice. On the first friday of each month there is a huge festival type thing in the neighborhood called "First Friday" and though Blue Star is a little bit removed from the center of festivities, there is a lot going on in the way of people, live music, and art galleries right in their area.

A San Antonio gem.  When I think of King Williams, first fridays, or simply a good beer, its Blue Star.

What better place to take a simple date than to your local micro-brewery?

Easy streetcar ride just south of downtown. Blue Star art area across from historic Pioneer mill. Friendly staff & bar tender. Good selection of house brews. BIPA was very bitter, last of Porter was deli-sh; and Stout was chocolaty. Pork chili was spicy and great.

I don't really remember going here. I think we stopped in for a beer? I remember liking the beer. It looks just like you would expect a microbrew to look like. Nothing fancy. I wanna say that all the tables are pushed together really, really tightly and thats annoying. This is the worst review ever. Maybe I didnt even go here? No, I did, but let me know how it is.

Stroll the riverwalk all the way to its southern end, just past the King William district, to reach this gem, housed in an eponymous old flour mill turned arts complex. A selection of competent house brews on tap and a menu of modernized Tex-Mex bar food are to be expected, but the real kicker? A tiny bike shop upstairs that specializes in renting out beach cruisers. It's arguably the coolest spot between the border and Austin.
