A Houston sports legend is getting into the bar business. Houston Astros icon Craig Biggio has partnered with the Marriott Marquis on Biggio's, a two story sports bar that will be located inside the upcoming downtown hotel.
Set to open in November, Biggio's will feature memorabilia from the Hall of Famer, as well as the expected number of gigantic flat screen TVs to give fans a view of as many games as possible. Details on the food and beverage program are a little skimpy at this point, but patrons can expect "a large craft beer selection including many local brews from Houston’s best breweries, and a selection of crowd-pleasing menu items," according to a press release.
Houston sports fans scarcely need an introduction to Biggio, who spent his entire, almost 20-year long career with the Astros. He retired with 3,060 hits, which, combined with numerous All Star appearances and a raft of charitable work (most prominently with the Sunshine Kids) led to his being the first Astro inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015.
“For nearly 30 years, Houston has been my home town, and I am honored to partner with the Marriott Marquis to bring Biggio’s to the city,” said Biggio in a statement. “It is really a dream to open a first-rate sports bar just steps away from my second home, Minute Maid Park, with an esteemed partner like Marriott.”
The Marquis has yet to reveal who will operate the two specialty restaurants that will join Biggio's, although one is rumored to be a new project from a James Beard Award nominee. Look for details on that and much more as the hotel gets closer to opening.

If that's some kind of microbrew, probably about $9.

Pretty sure thats the same hotel that will have the Texas shaped lazy river on the roof top
Posted on 4/13/16 at 3:18 pm to ColoradoAg03
Is this one of the hotels going up by the GRB Convention Center?

Yes to the Texas shaped lazy river, yes to it being by the convention center, and yes to Bagwell's hot lady friend.

I feel this will go the way of Kolby Clemens restaurant.

Sounds like a nice spot. Probably going to be like 13 bucks a pint for craft.

I think it will be fine. During baseball season it will be packed and there's enough business/convention travelers downtown to keep it rolling the rest of the time.

Will be many expense accounts blown there.

In a few years we can watch the ultimate bar rescue episode with Taffer berating Biggio in front of his family and staff. SHUT IT DOWN!!

They need to build up more stuff around Minute Maid. This will help. Currently there's just that shitty Homerun Grill and a bunch of homeless shelters making that area look like trash. F*** I despise homeless people.

With the homeless shelters and criminal justice center north and northwest of Minute Maid, I don't know if it will ever be a nice area. South and Southwest though is getting really nice. All the new hotels and condos, discovery green, renovated convention center, etc.
You should check out Jackson St BBQ. The guy from Gatlins BBQ and guy from Reef opened it and it's become my go to spot before Astros games. Tout Suite just on the other side of 59 is great too. You just have to navigate the homeless people under 59.

I've been to Jackson St BBQ. Pretty good. I should go more. I live right there behind the Convention Center. It just pisses me off all the homeless people just lounging around all day. Not a handful but hundreds of them. It's like the city said, "Ok, this is your area to completely trash. There will be no repercussions."
