Live Music All Month at Otto’s Ice House on the San Antonio River

Otto’s Ice House, your relaxed, riverside watering hole at the Pearl, is rolling out a fresh lineup of artists for December, and the vibes couldn’t be better. All shows are free, all-ages, and held on the backyard stage beneath the shady trees along the San Antonio River. (Otto’s Ice House, 2025)

Throughout the month, guests can enjoy soulful rock, authentic Americana, and talented folk troubadours who bring a genuine Texas energy to every song. Each artist carries a distinctly local spirit that pairs perfectly with the easygoing charm of this iconic ice house.

While you soak in the music, grab an ice-cold drink and savor Otto’s favorites like the Cantina Queso, Hill Country Deluxe Smashburger, Otto’s Last Shot, and more. It’s a welcoming spot to “come as you are,” trade tallboys, and enjoy community, all in one of San Antonio’s most scenic settings.
