NettBar

"A dog-friendly neighborhood bar and hangout, Nettbar is not only a great place to watch an Astros game or play parlor games while grabbing a cold one. It’s also a hotspot for steak night. The grilling starts at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays when patrons can get a tender $20 New York Strip or a buttery filet served with chimichurri for $30, both of which pair well with its rotating beers and wine offered on specials. Get there early. Happy hour starts at 4 p.m." - Brittany Britto Garley

"This Heights-area bar is home to one of Houston’s most spacious patios. Watch the game alongside your pup and enjoy some libations with a full menu of craft beers and cocktails. Whether you’re deep into football or baseball or just a casual enthusiast, there are multiple television vantage points and a large selection of backyard parlor games to keep everyone occupied. Be sure to check its social media handles for bucket drink specials." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Though this neighborhood ice house, tucked just north of Washington Avenue, doesn’t have a kitchen, its rotation of food trucks and entertainment more than make up for it. Nettbar offers ample seating at picnic tables around the property and plenty of outdoor diversions, like cornhole, bocce, and darts. Dog-owners with larger canines will appreciate the deck for its picturesque views and an area near its railing, where pups can be leashed while you grab a drink. For restless hounds, Nettbar features a secure dog run where they can get a break from the leash." - Brian Gaither, Brittany Britto Garley

"Geeks Who Drink hosts pub trivia at NettBar on Wednesday nights. Frozen drinks like the prickly pear frose and Jack Daniel’s lemonade are $5 along with well drinks and wine. Any time a train passes, which is often, grab a $2 train shot from the bartender." - Baylea Jones

"NettBar’s rotating list of colorful frozen libations include a Jack Daniels-spiked lemonade, prickly pear frose, apricot Bellinis, frozen sangria, and a syrupy, whiskey-based peach tea cocktail.. Spend an afternoon playing games like giant Jenga and bocce ball in NettBar’s backyard for a chance to try them all." - Baylea Jones
