» Sawyer Park

Sports buffs recently found a sleek, high-end lounge to catch the game when Sawyer Park opened on Washington Avenue.

Inside the two-story venue, beer-bottle chandeliers hang from the ceiling, plasma TVs line the walls and polished wood accents dress up the space. Between innings, pool tables, arcade games and themed Bada Bingo nights keep the crowd entertained. Winners of the weekly bingo games can take home prizes (shirts, hats, collectables), food and tickets to sporting events.

Upstairs, Sawyer features a 20-person club house room that can be reserved for private events or for specific games. It’s just steps away from the roof top patio, where thirty-something young professionals nosh on quesadillas and tuna nachos underneath a butterfly roof. There, they can take in sweeping views of downtown Houston and order frozen mojitos and sweet tea vodka from the patio’s large, circular bar or kick back on one of the couches.
