East End Backyard in East End
Near the corner of Scott and Polk Streets in East End, this dog-friendly patio provides spacious digs for casual hangs and local sports on their outdoor projector screen.

Biggio’s in Downtown
In the ground floor of the Marriott Marquis that overlooks Discovery Green, you’ll find this sports bar and kitchen named for the Houston Astros second base legend, Craig Biggio. Grab a spot near the bar to munch on pub fare (think brisket tacos and plump cheeseburgers) and catch all the sports action on screens that stretch to the ceiling, or opt for more spacious seating around the corner, flanked by TVs so you don’t miss a minute.

McIntyre’s in Downtown & the Heights
The two inner loop outposts of this popular pub (a third is on the way in Webster) offer distinct vibes for your gameday viewing experience.

Heights Beer Garden in the Heights
Just off Shepherd and 15th Street in the Heights, this sprawling beer garden offers plenty of shaded outdoor seating suitable for all sorts of weather and boasts an impressive beer list that you can sample from multiple bars throughout. No matter where you sit, you’ll have line of sight on televisions so you can catch all the action but consider arriving early on weekends as parking and seating tend to get packed. Learn more.
The Maple Leaf Pub in Midtown
This longtime home to hockey fans sits across Elgin from Whole Foods and provides a wonderful atmosphere for hockey season, but also for any other sporting event that you’re in search of. Its prime location along one of Houston’s busiest streets ups the ante on vibe, and you can fill up on traditional pub fare while you watch—including the cherished poutine. Learn more.
Revelry on Richmond in Montrose
In the heart of Montrose, Revelry is a sports-watching headquarters for everything from baseball and football to college athletics, soccer and more.

The Phoenix on Westheimer in Montrose
At the corner of Westheimer and Hazard, this English-style pub is a popular go-to for global soccer, hometown games, Dynamo and Dash road matches, and other sporting events across the spectrum. Grab an ale with some fish and chips and stake your spot in front of the numerous TVs and projector screens. Years of hosting watch parties for massive moments in sports means they’re skilled at handling the biggest crowds and can expand into the outdoor parking lot to allow a little more shoulder room, so attend with confidence.

Richmond Arms in West Houston
In West Houston, Richmond Arms has long been a bustling spot for World Cup and global soccer matches, bringing in a truly multicultural crowd rooting on their home countries. The outdoor patio can be configured for covered seating in all weather, but expect a packed indoor environment for major events as the intimate pub space is known to fill up often and early. Still, if you’re looking to root on a soccer team, the atmosphere at Richmond Arms is one of the best in town. Learn more.
