This local pizzeria in Boerne has expanded, unveiling a brand new bar and lounge this fall.
What’s happening
Darkside Brick Oven Pizza Co. officially opened its new bar called Darkside After Dark on Nov. 13, Owner Michael Hawes said in an Instagram post.
The restaurant, known for its 70s and 80s themed decor, music and Star Wars memorabilia, has continued the trend with this new Predator-inspired bar.
It's located directly behind the pizza joint at 25 Truss Dive, east of Boerne, off of Hwy. 46.
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.
How we got here
As an avid collector since his youth, Hawes wanted to create a space where local residents could enjoy the nostalgia of days past.
“We were thinking of how cool it would be if we could create this place, this nostalgia where people could come in and be taken back,” Hawes said in an interview with Community Impact.
Darkside Brick Oven Pizza Co. serves up a wide range of New York-style thin-crust pizzas, from white margherita to BBQ brisket and more, according to the menu.
There’s also a selection of desserts, salads and sandwiches available as well.
