An eclectic local pizza joint in Boerne is currently expanding with plans to open a new bar and lounge later this year.

The details

Darkside Brick Oven Pizza Co. is in the process of constructing a new bar behind the restaurant at 25 Truss Drive in Boerne, just off of Hwy. 46.

Called Darkside After Dark, Owner Michael Hawes told Community Impact he expects it to open sometime in November.

The restaurant, known for its 70s and 80s themed decor and Star Wars memorabilia, will add to its diverse array of film tributes with this new Predator-themed bar.


Complete with jungle foliage, a Predator sculpture and a crashed helicopter, Hawes said the area is a true testament to the original movies from the 1980s.

First opening in 2024, Hawes said they’re already on the brink of outgrowing the space they have in Boerne and adding a bonus bar was a necessity.
