So you couldn’t get tickets to see the Astros face the Yankees in the first game of the ALCS Playoffs. Me neither (cry). There are plenty of fun places to watch the game in the company of other Astros fans, though, so pick one of these places and root for the Astros!
At 3 p.m. on Saturday, Evelyn’s Park will be showing the game on a huge screen. There will be food and drinks from The Ivy & James, starting at 12 p.m.
Located in CityCentre, Grub will be airing the games on all TVs and will be featuring happy hour prices.
Also located in CityCentre, NYC-style pizzeria Grimaldi’s will also have the games on and will take 10 percent off for anyone wearing Astros gear.
This bar is recommended by all Houston sports fans as one of the best places to watch games. Lucky’s has two big projectors, and will likely be setting up mobile bars for the playoff games.
For all the “away” Astros games, there will be live screenings at Minute Maid Park and outside on Crawford Street so that Astros fans can watch in a baseball atmosphere on Oct. 16 and 17. There will be live music, food trucks, and games on Crawford Street before each showing. To attend the street festival on a day when a home playoff game is happening, you must have a ticket to the game to enter the stadium. Grab your free admission voucher here.
Located in EaDo, 8th Wonder will be having drink specials and food trucks with prime viewing screens for Astros watching.
Kirby Ice House will be showing all the games on TVs (with sound!).
From 5 p.m.-2 a.m. on Friday the 13th, Revelry on Richmond will be having a viewing party with 28 TVs and 3 big projectors to watch the game in their parking lot. Chairs are welcome.
The Branch, a gastropub in Spring Branch, is also having a viewing party on Friday from 7-11 p.m. RSVP to the Facebook event here.
