So browse your internet dating options on our site, then choose from one of these local establishments and do just that: grab a drink. Houstonians take their beer seriously, and that means there is a wide variety of places to catch a beer. Whether you're partial to domestic, imported, or locally brewed, you're going to have lots of choices. What follows is just a selection:
You wouldn't think you could go wrong with someplace called The Beer Cellar (3140 Richmond; 713-528-6435), and you'd be right, as long as you're not looking for someplace really upscale. The Beer Cellar decorated about the way you'd expect from its name: as if it was someone's home brew storage area. But the selection of beer is well above average, and the prices are attractive as well.
Two Rows Classic Grill (www.tworows.com) has a brewery on site and offers a solid bar menu (with many entrees sized to share) to go with its handcrafted ales.
In the mood for the classic combo of burger and a beer? Hustle over to Christian's Tailgate Bar & Grill (7340 Washington Ave; 713-864-9744 or 2000 Bagby; 713-527-0261), which has perfected the art of the grilling burgers and pairing them with ice-cold brews.
The Tavern on Gray (www.thetavernongray.com) fills the bill for those looking for a neighborhood bar with a good beer selection, solid bar grub, and more than 100 TVs to keep you entertained if conversation is lagging.
Another down-to-earth neighborhood bar and grill is the West Alabama Icehouse (1919 West Alabama St; 713-528-6874). Unassuming and unpretentious, this place nonetheless has a solid beer menu.
The Bull & Bear Tavern & Eatery (http://www.thebullandbear-tavernandeatery.com/) has a huge selection of tap beers, both domestic and imported, as well as bottled beer for those so inclined. And if you have a hankering for authentic football (soccer), this is the place to find a crowd mesmerized in front of a large-screen TV during the season.
The Flying Saucer Draught Emporium (www.beerknurd.com) specializes in locally brewed beers and ales, with 85 on tap. Not sure what you'd like best? The staff is well versed in the particulars.
Looking for a low-key place to grab a local brew? Look no further than Jimmie's Place (2803 White Oak; 713-861-9707), which is proud of its Texas heritage and sees no reason to go all trendy. Country music and brews. No snobbishness allowed.
The Sidecar Pub (www.sidecarpub.com) should fill any beer drinker's needs, with over 140 bottled beers, both domestic and imported. The Pub is also filled with, of all things, European antiques, and offers tobacco selections for the distinguished smoker.
