Bliss Restaurant

This former Magnolia Oil service station from the 1920s was renovated as a restaurant in San Antonio’s SouthTown area.

Beginning with the demolition of an add-on to the original structure, the project involved building a 2,000 sf expansion at the rear of the building for a commercial kitchen, storage, restrooms and a dining room which seats a total of 100 diners. An elongated octagon, the 750 sf building was once divided into three rooms, but is now opened up as one continuous space, with the ceiling stripped away to expose pine truss work. The octagon’s exterior has a simple Modern stucco façade, ornamented with a geometric pattern of small blue and red tiles.
