    The Houston Astros will begin their entirely controversy-free quest to earn another American League pennant against Seattle on Friday, July 24. Even though no one will be taking anyone out to the ballgame in 2020, Astros fans can still root, root, root for the team either at their homes or at a number of local bars and restaurants.

    We’ve rounded up over a dozen specials. Some are only available on either Opening Day or this week but others will be offered every time the Astros take the field.

    Be More Pacific
    The Filipino restaurant in the Heights celebrates Opening Day with happy hour specials from open until close. Get $3 draft or packaged beers, $4 wines by-the-glass and well cocktails, $5 San Miguel beers, and $6 signature cocktail. On the food side, take $1 off all orders of lumpia and tikim, $2 off pulutan, and feast on $2 tacos.

    The Burger Joint
    Both locations of the casual burger restaurant will be giving away free milkshakes to dine-in customers for every Astros home run hit this weekend. In addition, get a special Crush City Dreamsicle shake.

    The Flying Saucer
    The downtown craft beer bar is raffling off the last three of its infamous Mike Fiers “Snitches Get Stiches” glasses with a drawing on opening day. To enter, buy a 4-pack of 512 Brewing’s pecan porter.
