EVO Entertainment Group® announced today the construction of its seventh entertainment destination, EVO San Antonio. What promises to be EVO Entertainment Group®’s largest facility to date, the new 80,000 square-foot location will be positioned at the intersection of Highway 151 and Military Dr. as part of the Escala development. Construction will begin in March 2020 and is projected to be completed by January 2021.

Following the success of EVO’s first San Antonio-area location in Schertz which opened less than one year ago, the second location will also feature top-of-the-line entertainment with 10 push-button dine-in service auditoriums with 4K laser projection, luxury-heated recliner seating, and a full dine-in menu from EVO’s scratch kitchen. In addition, two auditoriums will feature the EVX® enhanced viewing experience, showcasing 80-foot curved screens and immersive Dolby Atmos sound. For game lovers, EVO San Antonio will provide EVO’s largest gamefloor to date with over 7,000 square-feet of the latest industry gaming technology, including an EVOVR® Omni Arena, an overhead ropes course suspended over the gamefloor, and 12 bowling lanes, including a rentable four-lane VIP area.

“We love San Antonio and we couldn’t think of a better place to build our biggest and best entertainment destination yet,” said Mitch Roberts, CEO of EVO Entertainment Group®. “Since creating the cinema-hybrid concept in 2014, we’ve continuously pushed ourselves to raise the bar, improving and adapting our model each step of the way and never building the same building twice. EVO® at the Escala is going to set a new standard, not just in San Antonio but across the entire industry.”

EVO San Antonio will also offer a restaurant, bar, private event spaces and outdoor patio complete with firepits, oversized TV’s and games. EVO San Antonio will be home to EVO Entertainment Group®’s signature scratch kitchen menu, with more than 30 beers on draft and top-shelf craft cocktails, including EVO Patron.

N3 Real Estate, the developer behind the 24-acre Escala development, is excited to welcome EVO Entertainment Group® to the project. The Escala development is being leased by Zach Parra and Bethany Babcock of Foresite Commercial Real Estate.

“EVO fits our vision for the development as a center for high-end entertainment and dining options in North-West San Antonio,” said Brenna Wadleigh, CEO of N3.
Designed by Dallas-based 5G Studios and built by Austin-based RISE Collective, construction will begin immediately in March 2020 and is projected to be completed by January 2021.
