Otto's Ice House at Pearl is scheduled to close on November 20.
The bar and restaurant on Newell Avenue opened April 15, 2025, a homage to Pearl Brewery founder Otto Koehler, and Houston-based Goode Company has been the operator. Otto's Ice House at Pearl will close on November 20.
Closure Announced
Goode Company announced the closure.
A Goode Company statement thanked its team and the San Antonio community. KSAT reported that the company's post did not say why the business is closing or what will happen to the space.
Levi Goode, West of the River
An August 20, 2025 Express-News review placed Otto's in Pearl's expansion west across the river and credited the April opening to Houston chef and restaurateur Levi Goode. The address is 111 Newell Ave., San Antonio, TX 78212. It is a restaurant and bar.
Goode Company is based in Houston. About 19 months separate opening day from the stated last day. That is not much time to wear a brewery founder's name.
Frito Pie, Schnitzel and the Check
The announced concept was a restaurant and bar with Texas-inspired food. CultureMap Houston named street tacos, bratwurst and Frito pie on that menu.
Street tacos and Frito pie were already sharing the pitch with bratwurst. CultureMap San Antonio has also listed German soft pretzels, taquitos dorados and a chicken schnitzel sandwich. The August 2025 Express-News review priced sandwiches and tacos at $16 to $20 and entrees at $24 to $44.
A Final Friday on Newell
That CultureMap San Antonio report also noted high-profile restaurant closures at the Pearl in 2024 and 2025, including Carriqui, Cured, Full Goods Diner and Botika.
For a last visit, the date that matters is Friday, November 20. That is Goode Company's final day operating Otto's Ice House at Pearl.
