Catch All the Big Games at Houston’s Best Sports Bars

Consider These Lively Hangouts for Watch Parties and Epic Comfort Meals

Kirby’s menu features a robust wine and cocktail list, as well as a rotating lineup of food trucks.

To say that Houstonians are proud of their sports teams would be an understatement. In recent years, Houstonians have proudly shared in the triumph of the Astros winning two World Series, and in the ’90s, the city was in shock when the Houston Rockets won back-to-back NBA championships. Despite the behavior of the home team in any given year, we are a dedicated group. As such, there are a plethora of sports bars across the city that serve as suitable hangouts to savor the victories and hold back tears during the losses. Laugh, cry, and cheer with other loyal fans over buckets of beer and gourmet meals at one of these Houston sports bars.
