Rally with Astros fans for food specials & playoff watch parties in Houston

Swing by bars, restaurants and Minute Maid itself to party it up with ‘Stros diehards for every game of the 2022 MLB postseason.

Astros fans know that October brings postseason baseball to H-Town, and many of the city’s popular bars, breweries and restaurants are popping up with watch party plans, where you can catch all the action with fellow fanatics and enjoy specials during the game and all month long.

Of course, the best place to catch the series is at Minute Maid itself—provided you can score a hard-to-find ticket to the games.
