A project named La Descarga has filed regulatory documentation with the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration to occupy the former Amp Room space. This move follows the closure of The Amp Room in October 2025 after a decade of operation.
Why it matters
The transition marks another shift for the St. Mary's Strip as the area continues to see significant turnover among long-standing nightlife venues. The Amp Room previously closed its doors following a notable rent increase.
The new project is managed by Mary's District Fund GP, LLC and is sited at 2407 N. St. Mary's Street. Renovations at the venue are projected to span from December 1, 2026, through the end of April 2027.
The players
Mary's District Fund GP, LLC
This entity is the listed owner responsible for the new project at the former Amp Room location.
The Amp Room
This former venue served as a prominent local music spot for a decade before closing in 2025.
The details
La Descarga is moving into the property formerly held by The Amp Room, a staple of the local music scene that shuttered in October 2025. This project is part of a broader evolution in the neighborhood, which has recently seen the closure of other establishments like Singhs and the upcoming closure of Midnight Swim.
Timeline
October 2025: The Amp Room closed after 10 years of operation.
August 2026: Singhs shuttered its locations in San Antonio.
December 1, 2026: Renovations are scheduled to commence at the site.
January 2027: Midnight Swim is scheduled to close its doors.
April 2027: Renovations are expected to conclude for the new business.
Market Landscape
The introduction of La Descarga follows a wave of closures on the St. Mary's Strip, including Singhs and Midnight Swim. This transition reflects a rapid transformation in the local commercial corridor as legacy venues are replaced by new ownership and concepts.
Residents and regular visitors to the St. Mary's Strip will see a new establishment replace a long-standing local venue. The prolonged renovation timeline through April 2027 means the address will remain inactive for several months.
The takeaway
The St. Mary's Strip continues to experience significant commercial flux as established businesses depart and new projects begin construction. Locals should prepare for ongoing shifts in the identity and offerings of this popular entertainment district.
