Christian's Tailgate - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

The best part about Christian's Tailgate is its proximity to a good parking lot next to a very busy street. We dropped in after dinner for more drinks on a cold night. Inside, it's a little warmer and bonus points if you get a fire pit spot. Generally, a very chill place to hang out with friends. We settled on some long tables and an Art Car IPA was about $8 with tip. Took a little while to get service because there was no one at the bar when we came in. It's overall a very chill average sports bar. No frills, but also not dive-bar cheap either. read more

The atmosphere is sports bar ice house so be prepared for no ac. Just a bar with all doors open and fans blasting. It's a cool spot to hang out and just chill with several TVs that have the game and UFC fight on. We're here hanging out before going to the United We Dance rave! read more

My family and I discovered this place through a staff member at our hotel. We arrived in a Lyft and were surprised to find it quite crowded. My sister spotted a few empty tables near the bar and approached the bartender, who was very friendly. She ordered a few drinks and we noticed a few people leaving their tables, so we moved over. However, the waitress working the area ignored us. When we finally got her attention, she acted rude and insisted that we couldn't order until the bar tab was closed. I then told her another card (mine) was to be charged for this order and she immediately rolled her eyes and left. The food and drinks took significantly longer than usual. The only reason we didn't leave was that we didn't have a car. Her attitude was bad. I could never go back. I still left 20% on bill as the food did end up tasting pretty good and is the reason I give them 3 stars. read more

My daughter and I went over to this location since it is only about a mile from her place. Started with the onion rings and they were delicious. The. Got a burger along with a couple of drinks. Service was good but they were busy because of the Texans game. Atmosphere was electric due to the football games on the TV's. We will be making a return to this location for future Texan football games. read more

Christian's Tailgate - Great Patio! - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I walked from a downtown hotel. Great atmosphere. I had a very good wrap and it came with lots of fries. Bartenders were pretty and nice.

Tried the steak night on Monday $20 steak and 2 sides. My tongue is still recovering from the salt overdose. That was the most disgusting steak I've ever tried. Not sure if the top flew off the seasoning shaker, but this is not good. Coleslaw tasted warm and mayo induced with no other flavor. Macaroni was plain. Overall, bad steak night experience and we could have just went to chilis. read more

After an event in the area, I stopped by Christian's Tailgate late night for an appetizer and some brews. Since it was a week day, we had no trouble finding a long table with room enough for all of us. And since we walked over, I can't comment on the parking situation. Ambiance (3/5): Pretty much your run-of-the-mill sports bar. A good amount of TVs, wood seating at the bar and at tables, and pub fare. Nothing stands out and nothing is bad. I'll take it. There are several Christian Tailgate's in town and I've been to quite a few of them. This was my first time visiting their location in The Heights. Service (3.5/5): Upon sitting, we were approached promptly by a waitress. Taking care of a large group isn't easy and she did a good job. Something a little weird, though? They did a $25 pre-authorization charge on all of our cards. It didn't go through so no issues but not something you typically see at a bar so thought I would mention it. Drinks (3.5/5): Christian's Tailgate has a large beer list which is exactly what you expect at a sports bar. They have a full bar, including a standard list of solid, yet unimaginative, cocktails. And wine. But are you really going to order wine at a sports bar? If you do, I will definitely judge you. Food (3.5/5): We shared an appetizer sampler that comes with fried pickles, Southwest egg rolls, mozzarella sticks, and another item that is escaping me. Plus a side of fries. Standard pub fare here. It was what we wanted and what we expected. Did it impress? Not really. Though they are known for their burgers so I'd go with that on most visits. I just wasn't looking for a full meal this time around. If you're looking for a casual sports bar with above average pub fare, Christian's Tailgate is a good choice. read more

I went on a monday to get the $20 steak night i ordered med/Med rare plus my exact words with green beans and mashed potatoes to go. I get home and my steak is well and chewy. I go back. They guy gives me a rare steak, didn't even bother to remake my plate completely after wasting my time and gas having to drive back to the restaurant. No fresh sides or anything. 0/10. I had to actually cook the steak when i got home. I have been going to this spot for 3 years faithfully. I will not spend another dollar with them try at your own risk. Its obvious they can't keep a reliable cook or have decent service. read more

Tracey was awesome and attentive. She recommended their Wednesday night $5 double smash burger. What?? Topped with fried onions and damn - delicious! read more

Craving a good old fashioned burger, Christian's Tailgate was on the menu. Ordered the Bacon Bacon Burger and fries! The burger was spot on and cooked perfectly. Was honestly a really really good burger. Fries were ok. Service was friendly. Value for the meal, price point too high IMO. I remember the old Tailgaters at Washington and I-10. Memories!!! read more

I had a very good experience at Christian's tailgate. I went for Thursday night football and it was a great vibe. The food was really good too. I got the three sliders for dinner & tried one of each. Both the chicken and hamburger sliders were very good, while the pulled pork was just ok. The beer was pretty good and average price, although we discovered that the dos equis was skunked :( Only con was that it was a bit hard to find parking... Overall I'd give this place a 4/5. Great place to watch the ravens plan, but some things could be improved read more

A couple of friends and I decided to meet for a few drinks/ apps on a Saturday afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend. Seating is covered/ indoors but the bar is open air so you really get the feel of being at a patio bar. The bartenders and servers were all very friendly and happy to make suggestions. When there, our group ordered a few Yuengling Beers, the Mimosa Carafe and some fried pickles. I loved that the mimosa carafe was actually served as a bottle of Prosecco on ice with a large cup of juice (your choice of juice) so you could pick your own juice/ champagne ratio. Also- it was on their Saturday specials menu so the price ($15) just couldn't be beat! The only thing I didn't love was the fried pickles. The pickles were served as thinly sliced pickle spears instead of chips so when you bit in, you ended up with the whole pickle and then a lot of breading left over. They tasted good but it wasn't great for execution. Overall, we had a good time here and would definitely visit again read more

Local Houston sports bar known for their burgers. This location specifically is strategically located in the very lively part of white oak. Our group specifically came to catch the game - this place is perfect for that. There's TV's everywhere and the place is deceptively huge. They have daily specials, happy hour and reverse happy hour too. We ordered wings, nachos, and appetizer sampler. All we're very good. We've had the burgers in the past and those are very good as well. Our server was friendly, but she was hard to find at times maybe because it was a weekday with the Astros playing and she was the only one covering multiple tables but she did check on us every time she walked by - not necessarily a bad experience. Overall, if you're looking for a place to catch a game that also has great bar food definitely consider coming here. read more

Christian's Tailgate is a solid sports bar in the Heights! The atmosphere here is what you expect from every great sports bar, lively crowd, big TV's to watch the game, and plenty of food/drink specials everyday of the week. I'm surprised by all the negative reviews of this place because I've never had a bad experience. I've watched multiple Rockets and Astros games here. There is usually some kind of special depending on the night of the week, taco tues, shot specials, happy hour, etc. Plenty of seating, partly indoors/outdoors, bartenders were friendly, solid bar food, honestly not much to complain about for your typical sports bar. I'd come back again for sure! read more

Christian's Tailgate Bar & Grill features plenty of seating and lots of TVs so you can catch any sporting event.

They also offer an arcade area - it helps make this restaurant a more family friendly sports bar. read more

too many underage kids. very loud, not an enjoyable environment. kids standing on chairs it's ridiculous

Friendly sports oriented bar. Good bar food. Onion rings are outstanding! Sliders are great. Can't say enough about how friendly and accommodating the management and waitstaff is. And great for people watching. Not unusual to see local celebrities enjoying the surroundings. Athletes from the pro teams have been spotted when I've been there too Very reasonable prices too. read more

So i haven't been here in years and it's was my husband's first time here and it suuuuccckkkkeeeddd!! Like wtf happened!?? We came for a birthday celebration, so we went to the karaoke side. We went straight to the back bar and the white female bartender with the black hair completely ignored us, and it wasn't like "oh she's busy" no she literally ignored us. My husband waved his arms, got behind the guy that was eating that was clearly getting her full attention (btw only person that was on her side) so can't even be like oh she's busy. We had to go to the male bartender because she was clearly not interested in our business. The male bartender actually acknowledge us and i even thanked him for acknowledging us. Now on to the drinks, if you want to grab a beer then yes, this is the place to come because you can't really mess up opening a bottle or getting a draft. But if you are trying to get a cocktail this is not the place, and if you want a shot...still not the place unless you want something from the $5 shot board. Now on to the karaoke, the dj was good and kept people hyped... and the people that sang..OMG they all had some pipes! I did find it so strange that people started to leave by 1, I'm not from this side out town so maybe it's a heights thing. Because on our side of town people party until 2am even on Fridays. read more

I'm a long time fan of the midtown location but this one just does not measure up. The front seating and bar area is open to the outside and somehow felt dingy. Maybe it was Mother Nature taking a toll on the space with the open windows but it just felt worn down and slightly dirty. In terms of the crowd, my group arrived late on a Saturday night and it was very lively. Lots of middle aged folks out for a drink. The back half of the bar, which is enclosed and also houses their kitchen and another bar, had karaoke night in full force. The 8th Wonder Dome Fauxm that I ordered tasted off like it was the bottom of the keg or something. This location is a pass unfortunately. read more

On the fence, it's just not my sort of place for a evening or late night. $5 shots being advertised out of plastic are my sign that this is not my crowd. Im sure this is more than likely a good game day experience with food and fun but at night the music is so loud you have to yell directly in someone's ear. read more

Came here to watch a Gator game with the local Gator Club! It was a nice big space so definitely great for watch parties. It was nice and cool (temperature wise). The service was okay. We weren't that big of a group maybe 10 people, but we did not see our server as much. The place wasn't crowded at all. Perhaps, it was because we were on the other side. Honestly, I'm not sure. It was just surprising since the Gator Club reserved tables. Anyways, we ordered a lot of beer and food. The beer buckets are decently priced. The food was regular bar food - a tad oily, soggy. Some dishes were salted others no salt lol - so the consistency was off (again expected). The food actually tasted much better as it got cold to believe it or not. We ordered the following: Bowl of Nuggets Chips and Queso Mozzarella Sticks Fried Pickles - soggy and the breading came off Fried Green Beans - again most were soggy Spinach & Mushroom Quesadilla - pretty good I heard from other folks the serve and food can be hit or miss (again expected). They have nice clean bathrooms and arcade games! So that's always a plus! I will check it out again I'm sure when I go back to Houston read more

Server 8/10 Drink (mimosa) 7/10 Fried Okra (2 orders) order 1; 10/10, order 2; 7/10. Went for crawfish 5/10. Why, the crawfish cooking occurs outside the building. Servers do not get notification that the batch of crawfish is done. The cook plates the order, order then sits until the server has time to go outside for the order. We were literally served crawfish which was not even warm any longer. We asked to be served a different batch which was still hot! Server returned approx 10 minutes later with a 5 pound batch, still not hot, but better than the order previously delivered to our table. Most lacked the seasoning flavor expected of crawfish. Potatoes and corn additional cost, 2 small red potatoes $1, 1 corn $1 (corn was the size of a half a frozen nibblet size ear of corn. Unfortunately too much inconsistency to return. Also the crawfish cooking area was directly outside a garage style open face window, neighboring patrons had clear view and made sure the original crawfish were mot reserved to our table. read more

While the clientele that gravitates here is not my favorite, the establishment itself is pretty solid. All the food I've had here is great (okra as a side is an awesome option and the fish tacos are surprisingly good), the beer selection is pretty decent, and they're dog-friendly inside. The main downside is that parking is awful, but so is everywhere around there. read more

To be honest I wished I could give no stars . Got here , been waiting for a waiter to come to ask if we need drinks ..... waited for good 20 mins still no one has came up to us to see if we have been helped or not we asked a waiter that was walking if she could help us. She said she going to go and see who's our waiter is so they can help us . I would understand if it's busy .... But it's not . read more

This Christian's Tailgate location is nestled right in the heart of the Heights. I have the pleasure of watching my favorite college football team play here every game. It's the closest thing to tailgating and watching the game with fellow Seminoles back in Tally. The atmosphere is great and the workers are friendly. Luckily my college alum network gets to watch the game in the back area where the AC is at. So, no worries about sweating bullets in this treacherous Houston heat like the front area of the building. The service can be a little disorganized. I say that only because I have seen the waitresses give the wrong food to the wrong customers, then wanting the customer to pay for something that was delivered to them in error. There should be some sort of system to that such as a number card to avoid these mistakes. As much as I love the vibe here, the 4 star rating comes from the mediocre food. It's decent, however, it can sure use a little more seasoning. Besides that I really enjoy coming here to watch football with fellow alum from my university. Oh and I'd recommend arriving before the start of any game to avoid potential issues with parking! Only because with the area, parking can be limited if its a big game along with other things going on with neighboring businesses. read more

Definitely things to like.

But make sure to remind your waitress because she charged me full price last night. - bar area is nice - parking garage next to it is $5 for parking. Look for other parking if you want different. read more

Great for the exact purpose it serves for my husband and me: a place to catch a (Ohio State) Buckeye game when we are in town. It's always fun to grab a beer (or four) and catch a football game with other mega fans - we're often greeted by a blow-up Brtuts, but if not, the alumni are fantastic hosts - and of course, so is the bar itself. Friendly, prompt, and attentive service, and reasonable prices. read more
