Where to Watch the Astros Win the World Series While Enjoying Cheap Food and Cocktails

Tonight, the Houston Astros will begin their quest to (again) bring the World Series trophy back to Space City. The game kicks off at 7:08 p.m. at Minute Maid Park, but for those among us who don’t have tickets, watching it on TV in one of the city’s best restaurants or bars is one hell of a consolation prize.

Instead of staying at home and yelling at the television, head to one of these fine Houston bars or restaurants for killer deals on cocktails and food during Astros games, plus plenty of camaraderie.
