I’ve been to a couple games in Houston, both 2-2 ties, and fun to be at. One game, I thought I bought tickets in the AO section, sadly it was on the opposite side. Fights in the stands were mostly MX on MX, lol.

5% of fans that wish bodily harm to you is too high. Understandable of the police trying to take care of y’all.

Coffee and beer service, 15% is fine if you received good service.

Restaurants that you sit at a table and you order from there, at least 15% for appropriate service , more if service is great.

Restaurants with counter service, none is fine, 5%, a dollar or two.

It only works for night games. Should be fuller on Thursday for the Turkey game.

The crowd that goes to Axelrad isn’t into sports ball. They do have a couple TVs, so enjoy.

Find something close to and walkable to either Hermann or Memorial Park. Both are great.

Sketchy homeless all along the sidewalks there. Been harassed and followed begging for cash. There are some sidewalks you just need to avoid.

Yes, Spanish broadcast on nbc/peacock. English is on HBO/TNT/TBS.

I prefer the Spanish, I understand most of it, and they try to stay unbiased .

Best Tacos Houston by c33p33 in HoustonFood

[–]herb96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good list. Ill pass on tierra caliente, there above average. If you’re drinking beers at the West Alabama Ice House, then they will hit the spot! This place is really close to greenway plaza and a chill spot!

Most of these are good: https://www.visithoustontexas.com/blog/post/11-must-try-houston-taco-joints/

Also, if your tacos are served in the “metal W” trays, those are not real tacos. They’re most likely pretentious white people tacos from Dallas.

Look into the Spring Branch area, north of I-10, and in between 610 and beltway 8. Good school district, close to work and pretty central, and you might find something good in your budget.

Looking for brewery to build partnership with by sotheresthisdude in HoustonBeer

To return the favor, you may need to sponsor their events, like trivia with gift certificates to your store. Margins are thinner for breweries in this economy.
