One block off the Pearl, 109 W. Grayson St., is about to get crowded in the best possible way. Three newcomers — Milk Pizza Shop, Lone Star Burger Co., and a downtown outpost of Stout House Pub — are all moving into the same address, promising more late-night bites and craft-beer options for the Grayson Street corridor. The trio follows months of renovation work at the building and a steady stream of social posts showing the buildout taking shape.
The lineup was first reported by CultureMap San Antonio, which notes that all three concepts are expected to debut at 109 W. Grayson St. and that influencer posts show the spaces gearing up for openings. CultureMap describes the building as a former forge and leatherworks, now sporting a newly added two-story outdoor catwalk that operators plan to use. Here is a closer look at what each business intends to bring to the block.
Stout House will anchor the block
Stout House is taking the largest footprint on site and plans to lean into the building’s industrial bones with a pub-style space, an elevated outdoor catwalk and a sizable tap list. The chain lists a Grayson location at 109 W. Grayson St. on its official site, and the owner first opened Stout House in Helotes before expanding across the San Antonio area. Local reporting traces the brand back to a 2016 Helotes debut and notes that it has since grown into multiple San Antonio-area locations. Stout House provides background on the chain’s expansion.
Burgers built around Texas wagyu
Lone Star Burger Co. is set to occupy a suite at the Grayson address and build its menu around thick six-ounce Texas Wagyu patties, sliders, hot dogs, milkshakes and snacks like fried pickles and sweet potato fries. The operator highlights signature burgers such as a Hatch green-chile option and a barbecue burger topped with pecan-smoked bacon and cheddar. The chain’s website lists the Grayson address (109 W. Grayson St., Suite 110) along with its full menu details. Lone Star Burger Co.
Small, walk-up Neapolitan pizza
Milk Pizza Shop appears to be a compact, walk-up pizzeria centered on a Neapolitan-style oven and a service window, based on a contractor walkthrough and short teaser clips shared online. The buildout was featured in a collaboration video with Denn Construction Group, and Stout House’s owner likened the concept to Dough Pizzeria in a posted video. Those details were reported by CultureMap San Antonio.
What this means for Grayson Street and the Pearl
The push to fill 109 W. Grayson St. fits into broader momentum in the River North/Pearl corridor, where developers have been marketing restaurant-friendly retail and hospitality space to tap into growing nearby housing. The property was listed for lease late last year with zoning and buildout language tailored to restaurants and bars, signaling targeted redevelopment for food and drink operators. The Pearl district has seen a steady stream of new concepts and announced projects in recent months as the neighborhood attracts more evening foot traffic. LoopNet outlines the property listing and nearby neighborhood activity.
Official grand-opening dates have not yet been posted on the operators’ public pages. Lone Star lists an address and hours for its Grayson suite, while Stout House includes Grayson among its locations, but neither has released a formal opening schedule. Influencer posts and on-site progress suggest doors could open soon, yet published dates remain pending as construction wraps up. Lone Star Burger Co. and Stout House currently provide location information without a public grand-opening timetable.
