Sunken Gardens

Went to Margarita pour off yesterday. Chuy’s margaritas were prime! Simply the best. Always enjoy this venue. It’s a little low rent, but there are great memories of Santana, and the red, white, and blues bash that used to be hosted by kzep. Those were the days!

This is the coolest outdoor music venue in San Antonio for a major show. It used to be a rock quarry for Alamo Cement, which has been thoughtfully converted into a great place to catch a show. It holds enough people to get some major acts through there. I’ve seen some awesome shows here. Rage Against the Machine, DEVO, Cypress Hill just to name a few. I once even met Bob Marley’s mother here at the Reggae Festival!
Parking is easy if you go park under 281 by the zoo. It’s impossible otherwise.
They’ve got a huge back area place to go chill out on the grass.
Many of the seats have been torn out at some of their more raucous shows.
But for the annual Taste of New Orleans Fest and the Reggae Fest, this place is the tops.
Just don’t try to sneak in on the north side of the pit.

Such a beautiful place to see. We took great pics here.

Sunken Gardens is an awesome place to see a live show. I was there on Thursday to catch the Deftones show. Wow! There is never a bad spot to take in your favorite band. I just wish they would have played longer. This location is an outside venue, so if you’re going to checkout this place wear clothes that are suited for the season. Also wear some shoes that are comfortable since most likely you are going to be standing. Oh one more thing, I don’t care for the way they have the Will Call line so if you are going to see a show make sure you have a real ticket you will get thru the line a lot faster.

Nice venue for a concert, I loved it, just saw the South Texas Rock Fest and had a blast. Real clean and just a wonderful atmosphere over all

I came here for the «A Taste of New Orleans» festival and thought this was a nice venue. It’s spacious, but I just can’t believe there was nothing for shade! It was unbelievably hot yet there are no covered areas around. Not quite sure why as it would be very convenient on hot or rainy days. The only relief is if you’re lucky enough to get under one of the few trees in the corners. Parking is also a nightmare when more than one event is going on in the surrounding areas, such as at the park or the zoo.
Most enjoyable on a nice breezy day

Acoustically a great venue… but when it rains… yuck!!! A monstrous muddy mess! Beware!

This place is so beautiful a must see if you plan a trip to SA. I have a close friend that loves to snap photos and I totally suggest that she come here! The atmosphere is just breath taking during the right time of year, please go when everything is in bloom. I must say that I have never seen that many girls in prom gowns and women in wedding dresses then I did the day I visited.
The park is FREE which is awesome, there are a ton of trails to visit but be prepared they are not stroller friendly. I would advise you have a sling or be prepared to carry your little one. There are some steep stairs so be very careful. The mini water fall is nice and the Koi fish pond is HUGE!!!
Go here to take pics, take a date and what the sun set! so awesome!!!

A lot of events, shows and concerts have been held here at the Sunken Garden. I do my best not to miss the BobFest (the Bob Marley Festival) held here. A lot of local artists show their best at this time. It’s just a great atmosphere and there’s plenty of amazing reggae and r&b music to listen to and enjoy.
