Constantin Film
Clint Eastwood in the 1964 production — and Spaghetti Western OG — A Fistful of Dollars .
Now, San Antonio's near-downtown Vista Brewing is celebrating the '60s-era film genre with Spaghetti Western Wednesdays, which will include chef-prepared Italian food, Texas-brewed beer and, of course, gunslinger flicks on a big screen.
The taproom — an extension of Vista's Austin-area flagship location — will host chef Matt Garcia of newish Italian sandwich pop-up Gigi’s Deli as he slings “spaghetti like yer mamma used to make — if she was a good cook, of course.”
The pop-ups will take place every Wednesday from 6 p.m. until sellout at the brewery, located within mixed-use artist space Warehouse 5 at 1333 Buena Vista St.
For those not in know, Spaghetti Western films got their name because they were often shot in Europe by Italian filmmakers and dubbed into multiple languages. Since spaghetti was one of Italy's other well-known cultural exports, the name stuck.
So many restaurants, so little time. Find out the latest San Antonio dining news with our Flavor Friday Newsletter.
