San Antonio’s North Side is welcoming an imaginative new destination this year: Elsewhere Too, a 6-acre entertainment venue located just off Loop 1604 near NW Military Highway and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Designed by the creators of the popular downtown Elsewhere Garden Bar, this immersive space will offer locals and visitors a whimsical blend of art, entertainment, and lifestyle appeal, with real estate implications not far behind.

Set to open in late August 2025, Elsewhere Too is more than just a place to grab a drink. With a 52-foot Ferris wheel, Victorian-style greenhouse, flower tunnel, and family-friendly attractions, it’s poised to become one of the city’s most unique social hubs.

What Is Elsewhere Too?

Built as the North Side counterpart to its urban original, Elsewhere Too blends casual charm with high-concept design. Located at 4507 N Loop 1604 W, the venue is positioned to draw in crowds from nearby neighborhoods like Stone Oak, Shavano Park, The Dominion, and the UTSA corridor.

This project has been in the works since 2022, with the official launch delayed to ensure a curated, highly immersive experience for every visitor. It’s not just for adults, families, pet owners, and event planners will all find something here to love.

What Visitors Can Expect at Elsewhere Too

The venue’s unique layout is part botanical retreat, part backyard adventure. Here’s what makes Elsewhere Too stand out:

• 🎡 A 52-foot Ferris wheel imported and installed as the property’s landmark centerpiece, offering seating and stunning views
• 🌸 A 42-foot flower tunnel entrance leading guests through a canopy of color and curated art
• 🌿 A restored 2,500 sq ft Victorian greenhouse, perfect for private events, weddings, and pop-ups
• 🐾 Pet-friendly zones, lawn games, and kid play areas to make it a destination for all ages
• 🔥 Fire pits, ambient lighting, swings, and shaded communal areas
• 📺 A large LED screen for sports events and live music performances

Whether you're stopping in for brunch, planning an engagement party, or meeting friends for cocktails, this space was designed to inspire connection and community.

Timeline, Location, and Leadership

Originally scheduled for 2023, Elsewhere Too faced delays that ultimately allowed the team to refine their vision. Now, construction is underway, with an official opening expected in August 2025.

The venue is being developed by Terrin Fuhrmann and Nolan Ellis, who used data from Placer.ai to strategically select the Loop 1604 and NW Military area based on traffic patterns and neighborhood demographics. Their market research indicates high interest from the surrounding residential base, including affluent and family-oriented buyers ([turn0search4]).

Why It Matters for Real Estate

• Increased homebuyer interest: Properties near vibrant destinations often receive greater attention, especially from buyers who value culture, entertainment, and convenience.
• Event-driven appeal: With rentable event spaces, Elsewhere Too may drive demand for short-term rentals and vacation-style homes in the area.
