The Most Flavorful Sports Bars in Houston

Prospect Park

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (749) • $$

"If you are looking for a vibe and you want to turn up, watch the game, and enjoy great food...this is the place for you! They have live music and a DJ, TVs with sports going and good drinks. The service would've been great IF they had the food and drinks we wanted. They barely had things we wanted including the mimosas, but they went out to buy the ingredients. The food we ended up getting was good. The breakfast burger was really good. This is a cool vibe! Love it."

Pour Behavior

★★★★☆ 3.7 (524) • $$

"First off, ya'll know I love my play on words and puns. Pour Behavior definitely got that going on for themselves. This place is massive! They boast ample parking, but I thought the parking situation kind of sucks here. I feel like you have to valet to park in the lot. There is metered parking, but the surrounding area is a tad bit sketch. It's what you would expect on the outer perimeters of downtown. Customer service has always been great for my crew and I. Inside and out this place is beautiful. There's plenty of seating including VIP seating and a speakeasy in the back. Music always seems to be good and certain times of day or week you will have a DJ spinning. They also have plenty of TVs for your sporting needs. Food and drink wise, this place always delivers as well. I've had everything from a mojito tower down to delicious cocktails. For food, my friends and I always get a bunch of appetizers and share. I've had the Texas Chili Cheese Fries, Brussels Sprouts, Calamari and Wings. Everything was great. I want to come back and try some of their entrees and desserts as well.If you are looking to hang with a large group of friends, Pour Behavior is a great option because of the sheer size of this place. I will definitely be back!"

Down the Street

★★★★☆ 4 (365) • $$

"Down the Street is affiliated with Around the Corner in EaDo and Leeland House. We wanted to try the EaDo location for their patio seating, but they're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. This restaurant is tucked within a neighborhood and has a small lot. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with TVs. Southern decor inside. Stand in line to order at the bar, and tap to pay or use an actual card. We sat outside, and it was windy and chilly. They didn't have heated lamps, and one of the rotating fans was on, which we asked to turn off.They had HH tacos for Taco Tuesday - chicken fajita, spicy beef, or crispy shrimp. I had the spicy beef, and my friend had the crispy shrimp. She enjoyed hers. The spicy beef wasn't that spicy, but the sauce the shredded meat was braised in was salty. The crema didn't cut through the saltiness, and the flour tortilla was small for the $4 taco. The bistro truffle and parmesan fries were delicious and served hot. It needed more truffle sauce, though. There was about a tablespoon of the sauce drizzled on top. The brussel sprouts were delicious - smashed and nicely charred. The spinach and artichoke dip was thicker and more cream cheese forward. I liked the variety of tortilla chips and toasted baguette slices. They also serve pizza, burgers, and salads, but we wanted to try a variety of apps.This place is dog friendly on the patio area. We're adding this place on the list to watch Astros games."

Texas Borders Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (318) • $$

"I came in here on a whim. The place is great. Laci the bartender is amazing!! The music is great and the drink prices are some of the best in the Katy area. I will definitely be often. Fun place!"

Pitch 25 Beer Park

★★★★☆ 3.9 (364) • $$

"Some Yelp friends and I went to Pitch 25 after a YEE to continue the party and watch the Astros game. This place is very spacious. They have a large indoor area as well as a large outdoor area. Because so many people were there to watch the game, both bars were busy, but the bartenders were doing a good job of getting drinks to people. They apparently have 100 beers on tap. I never saw a menu, but it was clear that they have a ton of beer options. I had a Crawford Bock. They also have liquor if you're not in the mood for beer and they do serve bar food too. I took a few bites of some fries and they were pretty good. We ordered food before the game started, so it didn't take too long for it to be brought to the table. We had a table on the patio, but because of the number of people standing around, it was hard to see the screens. It made for a fun atmosphere though. They have arcade games, but no one was playing because everyone was there to watch the game. This is definitely a nice space to hang out with a group of friends. The restrooms were clean, but the lines were long. Parking was limited, but we found street parking not too far away. EaDo has some great bars and Pitch 25 is definitely one of them. We had a lot of fun!"

The Boot

★★★★☆ 3.7 (396) • $$

"Came here during happy hour. Crawfish was $5.99 a pound. So flavorful with a little kick. How I like them. Decent size & fresh! Only downside was I ate outside so I had to fight the flies over my food. I didn't like that. I paired it with a Jameson ginger beer. Next time a beer will do just fine. 4 stars cause customer service wasn't really that great. I just flew in town from Cali. I love visiting Houston for the good food and southern hospitality but the gentlemen who helped me wasn't very friendly at all. I would def go back for the crawfish alone. So good. The best I had in a while."

The Maple Leaf Pub

★★★★☆ 3.9 (310) • $

"A nice cozy feeling social pub at Midtown. Cosy as in not small, but warm. Its chic, located in a very good area, with lots of food options including vegan. Used to be a heavily occupied place, Covid had made it pretty quite soo much that when we visited after it had just reopened, we were the only other group. We sat there hydrating ourselves while we caught up on the last year and munched on snacks. The added bonus was the games in the house.We ate samosas, these came with green and tamarind chutney, and naan bites which came with yummy hummus and loaded tortilla chips. We relished all items. I have to mention that they do have a long exhaustive menu of various entrees as well, its just that we did not try any that day. Now the games, there was dart game, billiards, computer games, mini indoor basketball, board games, card games and many more. Price is appropriate to the location and ambiance. We had a wonderful time. Its a great place to catch up with buddies and really chill."

Bourbon St. Daiquiris

★★★★☆ 4.1 (261)

"My husband and I drove a long distance from our Airbnb to try Bourbon St. Daiquiris. We were vacationing in Houston, so day drinking is very much expected. These frozen drinks did not disappoint. I sip on this drink most of the morning on a Friday and by 1pm, tipsy doesn't describe was I was, LIT is definitely more appropriate! If you're in Houston and looking for nice and strong drinks at an affordable price, Bourbon St. Daiquiris has got you covered!"

Texas Borders Bar & Grill 1093

★★★★☆ 3.9 (277) • $$

"The definition of your "local spot". The weekly specials and big tv screens draw families having a night out, bros watching a game, couples sharing the same side of the booth...I've been here a handful of times, and I've always enjoyed everything I've ordered. Tonight, the Fried Mushroom appetizer, and my Chicken Cobb Salad hit the spot! I think I might try the Shrimp Tacos next time! By the way, this casual bar & grille offer some of the best beer & cocktail prices this side of Grand Parkway. ($5 for a Jack & Coke).My server was a friendly, efficient young man in a black baseball cap named James. He had tables inside, tables outside on the playground patio, and I even saw him delivering a to-go order to a customer.The staff all seem to help each other out. I think I'll be making a few more stops in this summer!"

World of Beer

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (352) • $$

"What can I say? It's called the world of beer. Yes, they have a lot of beer. And they are handy with the sample pours too so you can determine what you like.The staff was very friendly, and the bartenders are super nice. Easily found seating and were enjoying within minutes. Period Rock solid four stars"

Kirby Ice House

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (348)

"I've been here a few times over the years. It has always been a solid experience. The bar wrapping around to both sides of the joint is clutch. The service has always been pretty fast, whether it's crowded or not. They always seem to have a different food truck or popup for food. I'm not sure I've ever seen the same crews twice, but that could be because I don't go often, and always on different days. They have a solid daily specials menu. The last time I went was whiskey $5 with premium specials at $7. Not a bad deal. Also, last I heard this place has an age restriction of 23+. I dig a bit of refinement in regards to the clientele (insert golf claps). Their drinks are basically classics. I haven't seen them have creative cocktails, or an amazing beer selection, just a solid sports bar type of menu. This place would accomodate any social or professional gathering where anyone could find something they like to drink, at a reasonable price, and a fair bit of room. My last experience was supporting a military veterans group at MD Anderson. Everyone was happy with the drinks and food. It happened to be steak night, and the steaks were great. Location-wise it is relatively central to most places. Rush hour sucks on 59 (always), but it sucks everywhere. They have a larger parking lot that always seems to be full."

The Hideaway On Dunvale

★★★★☆ 3.7 (292) • $$

"Folks have had mixed feelings about this place, but I've always have had a great experience here and once U know the staff, it becomes even more chill. Joel, Richard, Connor, Vanessa, Chrissy etc. It has been a few months since my last visit and and update review was due. Steak nights Tuesday. $14 with a potato and small side salad. A 16oz ribeye, grilled and seasoned so well. I also ordered some grilled veggies which were delicious and Joel said he grilled it himself. Normally the band also plays on Tuesday and open mic night. Covid restrictions in place. Mask required upon entry. Workers all masked up. This would another great spot to watch a ball game. Kudos to all the workers for doing a fantastic job during this timeframe."

The Community Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (249) • $$

"We stopped by The Community Bar on a Tuesday for a late dinner and some drinks while we were looking for a spot in the area on Yelp. After Ubering over, we walked in and grabbed some seats. The Community Bar is a casual yet trendy bar. After ordering some cocktails, we were impressed with their food menu. A lot of appetizing options, including some Argentinian food, which was a nice surprise. I wasn't terribly hungry so I went with the Argentinian sausage appetizer which was appetizing but a pretty small portion. The group's food looked good too. The cocktail delivered and I did like their list of creative cocktails. We finished things off with some green tea shots. If you're looking for a casual bar with better food than your standard bar fare, definitely check out The Community Bar!"

On The Kirb

Vida Mariscos

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (337) • $$

"Como siempre......Todo muy ricoy la atemcion de primera. Ambiente super festivo. Esta vezpedi caarones al ajillo."

Captain Brad's Coastal Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.5 (312)

"Great service, good food overall. It was a party of 5 and we all had a good experience"

Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux - Spring Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (225) • $$

"I was a little hesitant about eating dinner at this restaurant, when the parking lot was filled with cars. Not for the fact that I didn't think the food was good I just didn't feel like waiting in line. I took a chance, and it was instant seating this place is huge. Server instantly came took our drink order and our food order. Let me tell you that Krispy Kreme bread pudding taste just like a doughnut. The chicken sandwich had tons of flavor the hamburger was so juicy.The whole atmosphere of this location is pretty spectacular anywhere you said you're going to see about seven TVs. This is definitely my go to for now on to watch my Astros. I went to use the restroom to wash my hands very clean smelt nice, and the one thing that I like there was a his and hers restroom If you're in the area, don't be discouraged by all the vehicles in the parking lot there is plenty of room inside"

Christian's Tailgate

★★★☆☆ 3 (378) • $$

"A couple of friends and I decided to meet for a few drinks/ apps on a Saturday afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend. Seating is covered/ indoors but the bar is open air so you really get the feel of being at a patio bar. The bartenders and servers were all very friendly and happy to make suggestions. When there, our group ordered a few Yuengling Beers, the Mimosa Carafe and some fried pickles. I loved that the mimosa carafe was actually served as a bottle of Prosecco on ice with a large cup of juice (your choice of juice) so you could pick your own juice/ champagne ratio. Also- it was on their Saturday specials menu so the price ($15) just couldn't be beat! The only thing I didn't love was the fried pickles. The pickles were served as thinly sliced pickle spears instead of chips so when you bit in, you ended up with the whole pickle and then a lot of breading left over. They tasted good but it wasn't great for execution. Overall, we had a good time here and would definitely visit again"

LT's Sports Bar & Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (158) • $$

"Seriously cool local hangout. They have great daily specials:Monday - Friday 11am-6pm Happy HrTuesday - Steak night $14.99Wednesday - Ladies night $5 premium martinis all nightFridays - Karaoke 9p-1am ( only last Fri of the month)Great bar food & service, so friendly and helpful. Mark was AMAZING, talking to him for the first time was like we'd been friends for years, LOL excellent.FOOD:Chicken tacos w/fries - Very satisfying, the french fries were so crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, awesome seasoning that made them taste like home fries. I will literally just go there and order fries to go like their a jack in the box, LOL. The tacos were made nicely you can choose flour or corn tortillas. Nice thick piece of juicy chicken breast strips on each taco, lettuce, tomato & nice amount of cheese. Sour cream is $1 extraMac & cheese w/grilled chicken - Nice flavor, a whole chicken breast on top. Corkscrew pasta. Only thing would make it better of the cheese sauce was a little thicker. DRINKS: Martinis - not for play they come hard with a nice pourPeach Bellini - Great refreshing peach flavor, not super strong, great for day time if you don't want to be hammered"

On the Kirb

★★★★☆ 4.3 (172) • $$

"Great place! I alternate between this location in midtown and the kirby location. Both are very consistent with food quality, service, and atmosphere!Today we watched the Texans playoff game and stayed warm enough while on the patio this cold 13th day of January 2024. For a perfect snack, order the fresh veggie side dish. $5. I added ranch. All around fun & fresh!"

TaD's Louisiana Cooking

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (330)

Mo's Irish Pub

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (286) • $$

"Our son, daughter-in-law and grandbaby visited Mo's with us and enjoyed it. We shared an order of Wisconsin fried cheese curds....these were amazing. We tried everybody's stuff and liked them. A couple fish and chips were disassembled posthaste, one sheperd's pie met the same fate, I did a Philly cheesesteak and it was 3 stars. Our son tried an Irish beer called Smithwicks, it was very smooth and tasty, I went with a very hoppy Karbach's Hoppadillo. The fish came with cole slaw, fries and rye bread, the fish paired well with the malt vinegar."

BIG Z's Pizza House & Brew

★★★★☆ 4.1 (179) • $$

"We absolutely love this restaurant.The food is outstanding and you get what you paid for. The Chicago style pizza is so thick and tasty, just as it should be. We also tried their new wings and wow! Wow is the perfect word to describe them. They are crunchy and full of flavor. We also tried their parmesan fries and I must say, they rock! We recently also went for lunch and they have wonderful lunch specials. I just live great lunch specials. One of the best thing about this place is the customer service. You walk in about feel like family. Everyone talks to you and you never have to worry about running out of a drink or food."

Tailgator's Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (225) • $$

"This is and has been our favorite restaurant for a few years. We drive half an hour to eat here at least once a week, usually more. Its the best and most consistently good food in the area imo. Ive said it before - the double fried wings will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Best chicken tenders. Great burgers. Best fried shrimp I've had in a restaurant."

Cypress Trail Hideout

★★★★☆ 3.7 (209) • $$

BreWingZ Restaurant and Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (287) • $$

"I wouldn't say that the wings here ever Brew me away, maybe Pluckers did but not here. However they're at least 275 times better than Buffalo Wild Wings - trust me.The service here was nice, the wings were pretty hot (but we'd still like them more sizzling right out of the fryer). By Houston standards I can give just about 4 stars. If this was Buffalo they'd be 2 star wings - problem is I lived in Buffalo for decades.Luckily then, they're in Houston. And a local chain, with plenty of other spots too, some of them not as tasty as this one."

Jake's Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (221) • $$

"This spot was recommended by people on Nextdoor so we wanted to give it a try. We arrived on a Saturday evening. It wasn't busy so we were seated and served immediately. Service was good.My BF had the hot wings. They were crispy and good however suuuuuuuuper hot! These are not regular hot wings so be careful. The chicken sandwich was horrible. I couldn't finish it. The flavor and texture was just not worth forcing down. I just ate the fries. I also had boudin balls which I forgot to take a picture of. They were ok. I think this is a good spot for drinking only. Food isn't quality."

Buffalo Run

★★★★☆ 4 (169)

"Nice place to grab a drink and had some incredible service . They had wings on special for 79 cents a wing and they were really good. Give it a shot."

Mo's Irish Pub

★★★☆☆ 3 (294) • $$

"First and foremost, our server, Kathryn T, absolutely made this an incredible experience. I had eggs, bacon, and hash browns. Nothing special but what made it special was the extremely friendly and respectful Kathryn as she took care of us. We are the guests guest with the name butter that gave you a laugh. She was fun, engaging, helpful with choices, and incredibly respectful of her guests. What I mean by that is 2 people in my party bowed their heads in prayer prior to eating. She noticed this as she was approaching our table, stopped, and waited until they were finished. I don't participate in prayer but always wait for my friends to finish before I eat, as well as I don't do anything to disturb them at the time. It really stood out to me that she did this and made a HUGE impression on me that she stopped and waited to not interrupt as well.Besides the service being ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, the food was great, atmosphere was fun, and price was right. I will definitely be back in the future! And I hope to have Kathryn's section again!"

3B's Burgers & Beer

★★★★☆ 3.9 (170)

"We were invited to a political rally at this location. We don't often travel to Spring to eat as it's a good 30 minute drive usually. This is in a small strip mall area on Rayford or Sawdust (I don't remember which way is what. It's easy of I-45). It's a small parking lot on a busy street. We did get a spot and went inside. It's two dining areas around a bar. They have a decent menu. Lots of appetizers/bar food. Had some fried cheese sticks, wings, fried pickles, quesadillas. All tasty. Wife and I ordered a burger and fries. I got the green chile burger. Hers was a cheeseburger. Boys got quesadillas. I thought the burger & fries were good. My wife did not like her burger. One son liked the quesadillas and the other didn't. There are soda options and beer options. Lots of tvs with sports on them. I would go back, but probably just take one kid lol."

Catch of the Day Seafood

★★★★☆ 3.8 (162) • $$

"This casual seafood restaurant has been around for about 15 years now. It's located on Jones Road and has plenty of parking room out front. Inside it is rather plain decor wise with some tables and booths and does offer table service.Recently I have dined twice. The first visit was for a shrimp po boy for $9.95 and it took about 10 minutes to arrive along with french fries. I enjoyed this meal and while the fries were not homemade they were hot and seasoned. The po boy had several nice sized fried shrimp in it along with being dressed on a good bun. It was very good taste wise and I will order this again. Also, on another visit I had the chefs special of blackened red fish with étouffée on top. It came with roasted potatoes, white rice and some garlic bread for $16.95. The fish filet was generous in size and along with the étouffée and sides tasted very good and was a filling meal. During both meals table service was good.I like this restaurant. Nothing fancy here at all but it does serves good tasting seafood meals at very reasonable prices."

Crazy Cajun

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (225) • $$

"I guess Cajun food is Crazy, in the sense of Crazy Good. And it's pretty good here.So we're talking about one of the Crawfish capitals of the country - Houston - because it seems like on every corner there is a crawfish place, and we're talking about Mountains of the stuff. A lot of people moved here from New Orleans after Katrina which might explain the Cajunexplosion here.Some can be pretty expensive, and this one is a sports bar, so I expected them to be expensive but it wasn't too bad. Quality isn't great but you don't expect it to be at a sports bar. At least the prices are good and you can drink here."

Three B's Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (195) • $$

"Solid spot for burgers and other American classics! Burgers are huge! Tater tots are crispy! Good vibes and service!"
