I have a friend coming over to go watch the Red Sox.
Which bars close to MMP do you recommend to check out before the game?
What other things might be cool to do before an Astros game?

Go grab a bite to eat at Jackson St BBQ (across the street from MMP).

Good eats and a nice selection of brews on tap.

Main Street, b/w Franklin and Capitol. Plenty of bars to choose from

I haven't been yet, but maybe hit up 8th Wonder Brewery beforehand.

Little Woodrows, Home Plate, & BUS are all very close.

You can park at Irma's and eat a quick meal before. Its not too bad.

If you want to be classy V&A is close by.

Definitely do this if your friend likes craft beer. They are set up like a sports bar and have great selection of brews for less than you will spend at any other bar.

I'd skip the Bus.

Last time we were in there it was dirty and run down to the point we left early to drink beer inside MMP.

Yes I know it's always been kind of a dive but it stunk, bar tenders were crap, and bathroom was truck stop-esqe.

Too many better bars down there nowadays to hang out in that dump.

Isn't the bus closed? I googled it last week and it came back closed.

No. It's open and going. Along with the rooftop bar and the other new bar next to it all the non regulars go to.

Google "bus bar Houston", it's the first result. So strange.

BUS is now owned by home plate.

Ya I don't think its the same ownership. May not even be called The Bus technically, but it looks and feels the same.

Dispose of tickets to avoid severe boredom

Original Ninfas on Navigation does a free shuttle to and from games, so go park there for free and get a little drunk before the game on Ninfaritas.

This is the only right answer.

Totally forgot about Ninfas and I agree that is the only option

Is it too long of a walk from 8th Wonder to Minute Maid? Been wanting to do that.

I'l 2nd Jackson St. BBQ. Super close and good food/beer.

I'm guessing since they want to go to a Stros game and drink beer it's two guys.

I've never tried it that way, but I don't see that situation being conducive to finger banging.

Can't be more than a 15 min walk. Might be worth an uber though since 15 min walk in 95 degree Houston means you'll be drenched.
