About Side Room at Paper Tiger

The Side Room at Paper Tiger is the intimate, second-stage home inside the two-stage live music venue known for its vibrant North Saint Mary’s Strip scene in San Antonio, TX. With 60–200 capacity (200 with Bay doors open), the Side Room delivers up-close performances from emerging and established artists in a comfortable, no-fuss setting. The venue sits alongside the Main Stage, offering a diverse calendar that regularly features indie, rock, and alternative acts alongside special events and tributes. Whether you’re a local looking for a casual night out or traveling for a show, we’ve got you covered with seating details, parking guidance, transit options, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations.

Beyond the Side Room, Paper Tiger’s larger stage hosts bigger productions, but the intimate vibe of the Side Room often makes for unforgettable encounters with artists. For parking, plan to use street parking (note residential restrictions) or nearby Pearl/downtown garages, and consider rideshare for a smoother experience. VIA Metropolitan Transit serves downtown, with multiple routes stopping near North St. Mary’s; convenient stops include Martin/N. St. Mary’s. When staying nearby, you’ll find excellent lodging like Hotel Emma, The Gunter Hotel, The St. Anthony, and Hotel Valencia Riverwalk within a short ride or stroll. For a complete night out, we’ve highlighted trusted hotels and restaurants nearby to help you secure comfortable accommodations and dining without the hassle. If you’re looking for a show at a smaller, more intimate venue with a big-city vibe, the Side Room at Paper Tiger is the place to be.
