Going to the Astro's game on Saturday, but otherwise totally, free. Male friend from High School is going with me. No kids or wives are going with me. What should I do?

Weather is going to be nice. You should drink on a patio somewhere.

Was planning on going  to St. Arnolds Brewery and Yellow Rose Distilleries. Thats all I got. Neither of us have really been to Houston

I'd post up on a good patio somewhere with some cold beers: Pub Fiction; 8th Wonder; West Alabama Ice House; Front Porch Pub; The Ginger Man (now two locations); etc. 

St. Arnold's is OK, but there are much better options.

Add Axelrad and Hollman Draft House to the patio list

8th Wonder Brewery isn't too far from Minute Maid. That is a good spot for some pre-game brews  https://8thwonder.com/brews

 

 

Do 8th Wonder on Saturday and you can get some pretty good bbq out in the back courtyard

Thanks for all the recs! We're staying at a hotel near the ballpark. Any of these close to that. trying not to drive, and would rather spend money on the beer rather than uber.

I've never gone wrong getting beers at Little Woodrow's EaDo and Lucky's before Astros games.

8th Wonder is about 3/4 of a mile from Minute Maid...brisk 15 min walk. It is 3 or so blocks down from the soccer stadium which is only a few blocks south and east of Minute Maid. Your hotel might be closer to 8th Wonder, depending on where you are staying.

So is this HH happening or what?

I'm in. Depending on when I can leave work on Friday, we may try to make the ball game Friday night. Then we don't have much of any plans except food and drink other than that.

I can tell this place isn't exactly Shaggy, because still no one has recommended Treasures or St James.

Downtown:
El Big Bad has a nice patio. Food is so-so, but the drinks are good.  The entire Market Square and Main St. area a block over will give you plenty of options to drink. Eat at Xochi if you want a higher end meal, and they also have a good Sunday brunch. Hoggbirds Rooftop Lounge is pretty nice for a drink.

As stated above Eight Wonder would be the closest brewery. You could eat some good bbq from Buck's.  Lucky's, Little Woodrow's, and there area a couple of bars across the street from the stadium for drinking before the game.

Downtown food and drink: Xochi, Moving Sidewalk, Pastry War, and of course Warren’s.

Short Uber to Julep or Anvil which are great cocktail bars.

Is that your place?
 

8th Wonder is not my place. But I popup there on Saturdays starting at noon. I will not be there (myself), because I’ll be setting up for Houston BBQ Festival. But my minions will be at 8th Wonder slanging meat

I will add that to the list. If we make, I'll come back on here to complain about how dry your brisket was [/shaggy]

Original Ninfa's is within a mile of the ballpark. Dak & Bop is just a few miles south for Korean fried chicken and a pretty solid beer selection.

Wait, you’re not showing up to run the popup for me?

I figured that is where this was heading

Art car parade?

This is probably Housoton's best event. The parade runs through downtown and Allen Parkway. We will have a huge tailgaite setup across the street from the Ferderal Reserver Building.

I am going to have to come check you guys out at one of your popups......looked through the Twitter and that prime rib looked amazing

I only do prime rib on Friday. Most popups are limited to brisket, ribs, sausage, boudin, and a poultry, with tater salad as the side

You are correct, and it is awesome.

Unfortunately, unless things have changed, they are only open on the first and last Fridays each month. So It won't line up with your trip. 

Joystix is the best.

Another question. We're leaving Dallas around one. Any places yall recommend to stop and eat? Specifically BBQ, buy anything would work too

On the drive from Dallas from Houston?

 

  • Author

Yeah, I haven't driven to Houston since 1999.... So any places we should stop would be cool. And I don't mind stopping for a drink or two if there is a cool bar or brewery or something.

 

 

Southern Star Brewing right before you get to Conroe

At Lucky's Lodge?


Yes, until 3:00 pm. Then at Holman Draft Hall at 5:00

So you're going to be at Holman's after 5?

 

Just so you know what your getting into if you decide to go to Eighth Wonder or Hollman Draft House; this is what Buck's BBQ looked like for lunch today at Lucky's Lodge.
