    Go find a better place to watch the Astros game, or pregame, or post game, or party! THE BEST! Lots of beer to choose from. Cold AC! Right next to the right field entrance. Easy to get to, right off the freeway exit ramp. You can get into the area and out really easy. Skip the traffic, come to 1820 Lounge!

    Divey bar near the Minute Maid park. Great prices but it does get pretty busy around game times. Not for everyone but interesting spot to check out.

    Little dive bar with pool, pac man, and fairly priced (cheap even) drinks. Worth hitting up before/after a ballgame. Service was a bit slow, but definitely tolerable for a before game crowd. Really impressed with the friendly, helpful service from the bar staff though. Will definitely be visiting again.

    Great place to stop before the game at minute maid. But get there early they fill up fast. Once the game starts it empties out and it's a great place to watch the game

    First time in! Bartender wasn't very inviting! Asked a question about a drink, he had a smart answer. Maybe you have to be a regular to get the better experience!

    We like to have our company Christmas party at Joystix and the Eighteen Twenty Lounge. Cozy, small place with games and pool table. Parking across the street from the lounge. Good selection of liquor. Located 1 block from Minute Maid Park, it is also a great pre game location before going to an Astros game. We have always had a great time there and we will return in the future. If you are looking for a great place for a small company to have a gathering, I highly recommend renting out the Joystix location attached to the bar. Tons of old school arcade games and free play when renting the facility. If you grew up in the arcade era, this place is totally for you and will enable you to relive those glory years of the 80s arcade.

    My FAVORITE Downtown HTX Bar! Always have to come here when I'm DT. Before and after Astros games!! before I catch the rail to Texans games and the Rodeo!! THE Hot Spot!!!

  • 5/5 Joseph T. 6 months ago on Google
    The bartender cast is very complimentary. They really see your needs and they accommodate in ways that are above and beyond what I call standard.

  • 5/5 Nick S. 6 months ago on Google
    The bartenders are so nice and helpful! Best atmosphere for a bar.

    Stopped by after a concert at the minute maid stadium, walking distance, small, relaxing and with a great a/c for those of us visiting Houston that are not used to the humidity and heat, had two dri ks while we waited for our Uber and left very happy, there's couches, bar seats, a pool table and bar tables.

    Great place to have drinks b4 or after an astros game. One street down from minute maid.

  • 5/5 Jacob F. 9 months ago on Google
    Cool bar on the corner, not too far from Minute Maid Park. There’s a nice little area outside to smoke and the bar itself is large but also comfy. The entire staff was friendly and were awesome to get to know. Really enjoyed the place.

  • 5/5 Jay T. 7 months ago on Google
    Great little dive right outside Minute Maid Park. Nice selection of local craft beer in cans. Love the comfy furniture!

  • 5/5 Ricardo M. 10 months ago on Google
    By far, it is the best place for a pre-game or even after game 👌. There are a lot of spirits and beer 🍺 brands.

  • 5/5 Leslie E. 10 months ago on Google
    Great spot, best bartenders, even after games it's soooo packed but you never wait on a drink

  • 5/5 Charlie C. 11 months ago on Google
    Great little place we fell upon when attending an Astro game Nice beer menu, very accommodating servers. Very reasonable prices and not raised during events. Will make it an automatic piy spot when in town.

  • 1/5 Francia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Bartender named Gina is a passive aggressive person and seemed like she may have been racially profiling. I don't care about about industry discount if I'm gonna get treated like trash. I would not recommend supporting this business to anyone. Before or after a game, go to dirt bar or Reserve.

  • 5/5 Carlos E. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a fun time. Great staff. Great drinks. Inclusive atmosphere. During baseball season, you do pay for parking and it's subject to the Minute Maid Park rates in the surrounding lots, so I would recommend an Uber to Eighteen Twenty at that time but otherwise, free parking right out front.

  • 5/5 Rob G. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly bartenders and a great place to hang out after an Astros or Dynamo game with other fans and stadium staff. Drinks prices are reasonable. They do not serve food, but several restaurants nearby will deliver for you to enjoy at the bar, i.e Gotham City Pizza, Frank's Pizza, etc. Give this place a try!

  • 5/5 Eric M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best places for pregame activities before going to the world champions Astros games.

  • 5/5 Anthony E. 1 year ago on Google
    The pre-game and post-game place for me for Astros games! Easy two block walk to the game from here, plus they have Joystix attached to go to on the first and last Friday of the month. Excellent pricing for a downtown drinkers as well.

  • 5/5 Christina U. 1 year ago on Google
    The bartenders were super nice. Great place to watch the game is right! Not just for tourists either. Definitely gets rowdy but that’s part of the fun

  • 5/5 Ramon V. 1 year ago on Google
    Enrique was a awesome host! Was in town for stadium tour concert. I recommend you visiting this bar while in Houston!

  • 5/5 Taylor R. 1 year ago on Google
    Enrique and all the bar staff are so friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better post-game bar. Strong drinks and good vibes!!

  • 5/5 Andy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent bar to hang out pre game, prices are downtown close to ball park prices, not cheapest. Didn't notice a menu, so no idea if the sell food. Wait staff are friendly.

  • 5/5 Robert K. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Best place to catch a drink before spending too much in side the juice box.

  • 4/5 Tyler F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great space with a mix of couches, high tops, bar seating. Tons of TV's. Great spot to grab a drink before the Astros or Dynamo/Dash games. I wish they had a larger main TV to show the primary event for the evening/afternoon. Great selection of beers and mixed drinks.
