HO2007 - Houston Nightlife - Sports Bars

With locations in Rice Village and Midtown (and several others), Buffalo Wild Wings (Gray - Rice) features dozens of TVs, including large-format screens. The menu is not for dieters. Wings are the thing here, with more than a dozen sauces to choose. A respectable array of macro- and microbrews helps wash down the zesty fare.

Fox Sports Grill at The Galleria draws suits and sports-minded shoppers to its slick and spacious location near Saks Fifth Avenue and the original Macy's. Rows of booths and a bounty of bar seating accommodate groups and individuals with ease. The menu goes beyond bar food and offers savory soups and creative salads for calorie counters.

Laid-back sports fans flock to one Little Woodrow's (Brazos - Alabama) for its well-chosen beer menu and modest wine list. There’s no kitchen, but you can bring your own take-out or call for pizza delivery.
