Go 'Stros! Here Are 17 Restaurants Offering World Series Specials

The Astros Dog at Ninfa's

THERE’S NO BETTER time in Houston to score a real deal hot dog, freebies and other sporty specials in honor of the Astros. World Series Game 1 is tomorrow night — here are a few restaurants knocking it out of the park.


The Burger Joint

For every Astros home run during the playoffs, all guests on-site will receive a free milkshake of their choice at the Burger Joint’s multiple locations. Trust us, these divine milkshakes are worth the trip.

Caracol

Customers who gear up and go out to dinner at Caracol will receive a complimentary margarita with the purchase of an entree during happy-hour.

C. Baldwin

The Lobby Bar at the C. Baldwin has an excellent and festive Juice Box Rita for $12, made with the standard primo ingredients — and a twist of orange juice.

This newcomer from the Gatlin's BBQ team is spicing things up during the World Series. Try the H-Town Hot Sandwich (crispy chicken or fish tossed in Viet-Cajun hot sauce, topped with basil coleslaw and pickles) for $16. All sandwiches are served with fries and pair wonderfully with their assortment of cold draft beers ($8).

Heights & Co.

An expansive patio bar, Heights & Co. is a great place to catch a game, especially when draft beer is on special for $5, and burgers for $10!

GJ Tavern

Calling all Astros fans! The sleek Downtown tavern is offering its happy-hour menu prices immediately following all Astros games. For late games, GJ Tavern offers happy hour prices from 9pm until closing. This hotspot — outfitted with plenty of TVs — is the place to celebrate a big win.

Kenny & Ziggy's

Gameday specials at Kenny & Ziggy's

Nothing says gameday like hot dogs and beer, and Kenny & Ziggy’s artisan franks are made with an old family recipe, which includes natural casings that give them the perfect “snap.” Catch the World Series games in the Spritzer Bar and these hot dogs with the works for $5, plus all draft beers for $4 each.

La Calle Tacos & Tortas

La Calle Tacos & Tortas is celebrating the Astros with themed cocktails and taco giveaways. The Mexican eatery will give a free order of street tacos to the guest who guesses the final game score correctly for each game via the restaurant's scoreboard located at the Downtown and Bagby locations.

Maize

The Astrorita at Maize

Out west, tuck into a delicioso fish burger, the hamburguesa de pescado (fried striped bass fillet, avocado, slaw, tomatoes, sweet potato fries), for $10 and wash it down with an Astrorita (tequila blanco, blue curaçao, lime, orange, agave, chili lime salt) for $8.

Osso & Kristalla

Osso & Kristalla pizza

No wonder this modern and breezy Downtown eatery from Astros owner Jim Crane calls itself “Astros Headquarters.” Its location steps away from Minute Maid Park is a no brainer, and the wood-fired pizzas are splendid. Weekday happy hour features beer, cocktails, and wine ($5-$7) plus Italian-kissed bar bites — think calamari fritta, bruschetta, Calabrese shrimp and osso polpette sliders with marinara and Parmesan ($6-$8). A steal!

Roots

The Original Ninfa's

At the Uptown location only, Ninfa’s is offering a grilled Astro Dog topped with jalapeno chow chow, mayonnaise and brown mustard for $8 during home and away games. As always, guests of the Navigation location can enjoy a complimentary shuttle to the game from the East End eatery.

The Upside Pub

This Garden Oaks pub is aiming to keep up their home-team optimism with $12 pitchers during each Astros postseason game and free shots of beer after every Astros home run. Signature dishes include $7 Frito pies, bacon-wrapped brisket hot dog topped with queso and loaded on a potato bun, and full bar offerings of beer, wine, and cocktails.

Treebeards

Cheer on the Astros with a World Series Crawford Bock beer special at its Bunker Hill location. The southern comfort restaurant is selling pints of Crawford Bock starting at $4. With each Astros win, the number of games left to win the World Series decreases, and so does the price.

Willie's Grill & Icehouse

The neighborhood icehouse is offering an appetizing promotion anytime the Astros win in their quest for World Series domination. Dine-in customers will enjoy free chips and queso the day following every Astros win with the purchase of an entrée.

Urbe
