Best sports bars in Houston for game day: Every major area covered

Whether you're watching the Texans, Astros, or Rockets, here's where to go by neighborhood.

Downtown / EaDo:

  • Pitch 25 (next to Shell Energy Stadium) — Best for soccer but has every game on. Great beer list, outdoor patio.
  • Lucky's Pub (downtown) — Houston institution. Multiple locations. The original on Dallas St. is the best. Gets absolutely packed for Texans games.

Midtown:

  • Little Woodrow's (Midtown location) — The quintessential Houston sports bar. Outdoor setup, cold beer, every TV has a different game. Saturday college football here is an experience.
  • Christian's Tailgate — The name says it all. Bar food is above average. Wings are top-tier.

Washington Ave:

  • Johnny's Gold Brick — More cocktail bar than sports bar but they'll put the game on and the crowd gets into it.
  • Bobcat Teddy's — Dive bar energy. Cheap beer. TVs everywhere. No pretension.

Heights:

  • Eureka Heights Brewing — Watch the game with a locally brewed beer. Laid back, dog friendly, good vibes.

Little Woodrow's Midtown for college football Saturday is a Houston tradition. Every Big 12 and SEC school has a section.

Pitch 25 before a Dynamo match is the move. Walk to Shell Energy Stadium after. Perfect game day.

Christian's Tailgate wings are legitimately the best bar wings in Houston. Smoked then fried. Order them every time.

Lucky's Pub on Dallas St for a Texans Sunday is pandemonium. Get there 90 minutes before kickoff or you're standing outside.
