    Support the 'Stros

    6 best Houston bars and restaurants to cheer on the Astros run to the World Series

    Having finished with the best record in baseball, the Astros are the odds-on favorite to win the World Series. As 2017’s run to the team’s first title demonstrated, Houstonians go baseball crazy when the ‘Stros are in the playoffs.

     

    Frankly, watching sports is more fun in a group. Sweating out every pitch and cheering every home run is just better when surrounded by people who are locked in on every moment.

     

    With that in mind, consider this list of recently opened or significantly renovated options for watching sports (roughly in the last year or so). While the focus is on the Astros, they’ll also be handy should the Texans get things figured out or if the Rockets’ union of James Harden and Russell Westbrook proves to be as dominant as it has the potential to be.

     

     Electric FeelGood
    Yes, the neon signage and slide might lead some to believe Midtown’s newest bar is just a party spot, but it’s got legit sports bar amenities, including lots of TVs downstairs and a room upstairs with a panel that can display eight different games at once. During Astros games, the bar’s specials include beer buckets ($15 for domestics and $20 for imports) and discounts on snacks ($6 potato bombs and $10 flatbreads).

     

    The Dogwood, Electric FeelGood’s sister concept, isn’t new, but it has specials of its own, including $14 buckets of Miller Lite or Coors Light, $5 pours of Jim Beam, $5 bowls of queso, $6 pulled pork sandwiches, and a dozen wings for $12.

     

     Jack & Ginger’s
    The Irish pub will have its TVs tuned in to the ‘Stros throughout the playoffs. In addition to its typical happy hour deals on wine, appetizers, and beer flights (Monday through Friday 11 am to 9 pm), the bar will run game day specials of $5 Karbach Crawford Bocks and $5 Irish chips and dip (potato chips with smoked cheddar and French onion dip).

     

     Pitch 25
    Sure, this EaDo spot has a soccer theme, but the massive beer garden works for watching more than the beautiful game. They’ll open early for Friday’s 1 pm start. With 100 taps of beer and wine, finding the perfect pairing for that smoked turkey sandwich is a cinch.

     

     Pour Behavior
    Midtown’s massive new sports bar and nightclub has already become a popular destination for watching college and pro football, but the Astros playoff games should really draw a crowd. Not only will the bar open early for afternoon games, but it will give customers a free cinnamon bun every time an Astros player hits a home run. That’s in addition to daily specials like a free beer for burger purchase on Monday and half-off pizzas and bottles of wine on Friday. During happy hour (Monday through Friday from 4-7 pm), get half-off beer, wine, spirits, and small plates.

     

     Preslee’s Southern Good Eatery
    This new bar and restaurant opened this week — just in time for customers to settle in to watch the Astros game on its massive patio. Every Bregman bomb and Springer dinger will seem a little more impactful after a couple of frozen Jack and Cokes or an order of fried catfish.

     

     Vara’s on 45
    Dirt Bar owner Shaun Sharma has balanced Vara’s divey character with an expanded patio that will be a pleasant place to hang out as soon as Monday’s cool front arrives. Of course, each game will be displayed on the bar’s TVs. Every time the Astros are winning, it will sell Karbach Crawford Bock for $1 per can.

    hola, mayahuel

    Netflix chef's modern Mexican restaurant opens in Houston this month

    Mayahuel's menu combines seasonal ingredients and heirloom corn.

    The countdown is on to Houston’s newest modern Mexican restaurant. Mayahuel will officially open for dinner on Friday, July 18.

    Located in the Autry Park mixed-use development, Mayahuel united Culinary Khancepts — the hospitality group behind Liberty Kitchen, State Fare, and Leo’s River Oaks (among others) — with star chef Luis Robledo Richards. Known locally for his short-lived taqueria Comalito, Richards is the pastry chef behind Mexico City’s celebrated Tout Chocolat. His resume includes serving as a judge on the Netflix series Sugar Rush: The Baking Point and being named the Best Pastry Chef in Latin America by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

    At Mayahuel, Richards will feature dishes made with seasonal ingredients and heirloom corn that’s imported from Mexico. At opening, it will be a tidy group of 16 savory dishes — divided into starters, “Tacos y Masa,” and entrees, as well as a separate tasting menu. The restaurant takes its name from the Mexica goddess of the maguey plant, which only blooms once, to emphasize its connection to Mexico’s land and culture.

    “At Mayahuel, we’re not just preparing food — we’re honoring time, place, and process,” Richards said in a statement. “Our ingredients are chosen only when they’re at their best. We don’t force nature to fit our schedule — we follow its lead.”

    Dinner at Mayahuel could begin with dishes such as bread and tortillas served with miso and salsa matcha butters, a bluefin tuna tostada with uni cream and yuzu aioli, salmon aguachile, or a beef carnitas croquette. The “Tacos y Masa” section includes beef cheek and shrimp tacos, a duck confit tamal, and a squash blossom tetela. Entree choices include filet mignon with mole negro, cochinita with black bean puree and tortillas, and sea bass with potatoes and salsa Veracruzana.

    Brunch is a more casual affair built around items such as chilaquiles, French toast, enfrijoladas, and a Mexican take on eggs Benedict topped with salsa roja hollandaise.

    Large format desserts each take inspiration from one of three ingredients — vanilla, coffee, or cacao. Priced at $28 each, the menu describes them as “a thoughtful, interactive finale that honors tradition through technique, seasonality, and imagination.”

    Pairings include cocktails made with agave spirits, fresh juices, and house made syrups. Notably, all tequilas will be additive-free, which means some prominent brands may not be featured behind Mayahuel’s bar.

    The restaurant occupies an approximately 5,100-square-foot space that’s divided into a 16-seat bar, a 40-seat dining room, an eight-seat chef’s table, a 36-seat, second floor dining room, and a 34-seat patio. It joins other concepts in Autry Park such as French restaurant Annabelle Brasserie, sushi spot Doko, fine dining steakhouse Turner’s Cut, Vietnamese restaurant Annam, and a still-unnamed concept from Austin’s Emmer & Rye Hospitality.

    “Mayahuel is about creating a sense of place and story,” Culinary Khancepts founder Omar Khan said. “It’s a natural evolution for our group — rooted in culture, crafted with care, and designed to be as memorable as it is welcoming.”

    Mayahuel will be open for happy hour and dinner Monday-Saturday and brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Reservations are available on OpenTable.
