    Elsewhere Too

    Elsewhere Too is expected to open in June, 2025. |Rendering by Elsewhere Too
    Highway construction on the North Side of San Antonio isn’t stopping new development along the 1604 Highway. The next idea in progress? Elsewhere’s second location — Elsewhere Too.

    The River Walk oasis is expanding its kitchen and bar concept by planting more San Antonio roots. The ground has been broken and construction is underway, so here’s what you can expect at Elsewhere Too:
    • 52-ft Ferris wheel
    • 2,500-sqft rentable greenhouse
    • 42-ft curved flower tunnel entrance
    • Fire pits + swings
    • Shaded seating — a must in San Antonio
    • Hedge maze and small pond
    The wonder arrives in June 2025, but to get a preview of the vibes, we suggest heading to Elsewhere’s location near the San Antonio Museum of Art.
