From the Alamodome to the Saint Mary's strip — capacity, genre, and what's coming up at each room.

Diego Jauregui·July 1, 2026·8 min read·San Antonio, TX

The Saint Mary's strip is still where the scene lives on a weeknight: Paper Tiger, Hi-Tones, Lonesome Rose, and the bars between them. For arena scale, the Alamodome and Frost Bank Center split the biggest routing in town.
