As San Antonians, it’s pretty much a given that we love to eat, drink booze and jam out to some live music. And despite how unbearable the heat can get, we also really love hanging out on a patio. So, we decided to round up a list of places in the Alamo City where you get just that: live music and patio vibes. Consider the grub and/or booze just the cherry on top.

Burleson Yard Beer Garden 430 Austin St, (210) 354-3001, facebook.com Can you imagine a better place to enjoy some live music than a large ass patio that chill AF?
