Ready For Houston Texans Football? Here Are The Best Sports Bars In Houston

HOUSTON, TX — The Houston Texans kick off the 2017 preseason Wednesday night at the Carolina Panthers. For many, the start of football season usually means the end of summer. Along with that comes tailgating and eating our favorite foods — forgetting that beach body diet and speed racing to the holiday gorge. For most in the Bayou City, we'll be cheering on the Texans these next five months.

Wednesday's game is more than who wins or loses, but who moves up the depth chart, how the rookies look, how first-round pick Deshaun Watson looks at quarterback and will the defense be ok gain, especially with J.J. Watt back.

With two away games in preseason and eight road games in the regular season, there are 10 away games. We at Patch browsed yelp.com to find the top 10 sports bars in Houston to watch the games.
