Wakefield Crowbar

"Wakefield Crowbar is where you can play sports while watching sports in Garden Oaks. This spot has multiple volleyball courts, indoor and outdoor bars, and at least five TVs in each area. Don’t expect too much from the food—the menu doesn’t get into anything besides pizza that tastes good after a few green tea shots on tap. But, as a sports bar, Wakefield understands the important matters: providing just enough beer, just enough activity—including a kid-friendly play area—and just enough fried food to keep people happy." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

Plus a large outdoor play place, so your kids can run around without spilling your drink. There's also a hefty menu of bar food, snacks, and plenty of beer on tap so everyone can have a little post-playground snack." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
