We love a good beer garden. Sprawling patios, terrific beverages, and a game of cornhole or two – what’s not to love. Soon enough, Houstonians will have a new place to drink beers in the sun as officials plan to open the highly-anticipated, 21,000-square-foot beer garden in Houston’s Energy Corridor this summer.
Ashford Beer Garden is a project from Alexandre Tolentino and Steven Salazar. The latter, previously for the Kirby Group, Salazar was the main figure behind the beloved Katy Beer Garden opened this past year. Tolentino as the former Pitch 25 beer garden general manager.
The team reportedly began construction earlier this past November on the massive beer garden at 1325 S. Dairy Ashford Rd. Inspired by the sprawling biergartens populating the likes of Germany, the indoor/outdoor venue will be family and pet friendly, and will feature yard games, shaded patio spaces, as well as live music.
Furthermore, the venue will boast a hearty beverage program with 100 beer taps, wine list, as well as impressive menu of spirits and cocktails.
“Ashford Beer Garden is a vibrant fusion of tradition and innovation situated at the new Ashford Yard development, along Dairy Ashford in Houston, TX,” the website states.
“Our mission is to recreate the ambiance and aesthetics of Munich’s beloved Bavarian beer gardens, marrying it with our own charming Texas hospitality. With its diverse drink offerings, welcoming ambiance, and the aspiration to become an essential part of the local community, Ashford Beer Garden is poised to redefine leisure and socializing.”
Ashford Beer Garden will serve as the anchor tenant of the 12.7-acre, mixed-use Ashford Yard development, headed by Market Square Companies and Tenon Property Company, which is transforming a former Schlumberger campus into a hub of retailers, residential living areas, and community spaces.
While an exact grand opening date has not yet been announced, the Ashford Yard development recently secured an $8 million C-PACE financing deal in April 2026 to fund major energy and water efficiency upgrades. Developers confirm that Ashford Beer Garden remains on track to open first in the summer of 2026, ahead of the surrounding retail and dining tenants, which are expected to follow in early 2027.
