Gobble, then wobble over to Suds Monkey. The day after Thanksgiving the ring goes up under the oaks for six matches of high-flying lucha libre, masks and all, and the kids end up cheering louder than the adults. Up-close seats, real drama, cold beer and a full kitchen.
16 ringside tables only. They sold out last year. Kids 5 and under are free.
Your own table at the ropes for the whole show. The luchadores come to you between matches for photos, high fives and the occasional stare-down, and two pitchers of Suds Monkey beer are waiting when you sit down. One ticket covers the table, so gather the family and split it eight ways.
Sixteen tables. That is the whole front row. Last year every one of them was gone before the bell.
Open seating at the picnic tables around the ring. Come early, claim a bench, order a pizza and settle in. Limited to 300 total and 2025 drew 185, so the online price is the safe bet.
Doors open. Grab your table or bench, order food and a first round. Kitchen and taps are fully open.
Bell rings. Six matches with the referee, the ring announcer and all the drama that comes with masks and capes.
Intermission. Luchadores work the ringside tables for photos. Refill the pitchers.
Main event wraps. Stick around, the taproom stays open into the evening.
Tap any photo to open it. Shot from the picnic tables by our own crew.
Lucha libre is theater, and the kids know it. They boo the villain, chant for the hero and line up for photos afterward. The wrestlers play to them all afternoon. It is loud, it is silly, and nobody looks at a phone for three hours.
The full Suds Monkey kitchen runs all afternoon: hand-stretched pizzas, wings, pretzels, and the whole tap wall of house-brewed beer. Order at the bar or from your phone and it comes to your table. No outside food or drink, please. We have you covered.
Turkey was yesterday. Today is pizza and a folding chair to the face.
Suds Monkey Kitchen & Brewery, Dripping Springs, TX 78737. The ring goes up in the outdoor beer garden. Free parking on site.
Kids 5 and under are free and need no ticket. Ages 6 and up need General Admission or a seat at a VIP table.
One purchase reserves the whole table for up to 8 guests. You will get a table number by email. Arrive by 12:30 so your pitchers are cold and your seats are yours before the bell.
Yes. Online presale is $12 and ends at midnight the night before. The gate price is $16 per person while the last 100 spots hold. Once we hit 300 the gate closes.
The show is rain or shine unless conditions are unsafe. If we have to cancel, every ticket is refunded in full.
No outside food or drink. The kitchen and taps are open the whole time and there is plenty for everyone, including the kids.
The show is produced with Premier Event Wrestling, the same crew that brought the house down last year. Six matches, real luchadores, family-friendly all the way through.
Tickets are non-refundable except for a weather cancellation. They are transferable, so send your confirmation to whoever is taking your spot.
Sixteen tables. Three hundred seats. One afternoon the whole family talks about until next Thanksgiving.
