Pier 6 Seafood

If you can make your way over to San Leon, you’ll earn a Super Bowl Sunday with a fresh bay breeze, as Pier will be hosting a watch party complete with coastal views, big screens, drink specials from $6 cocktails to $16 - $20 buckets, and inexpensive eats including Sea Dogs ($14.99), Bacon-Wrapped Quail Poppers ($12.99), Smash Burger Sliders ($12.99) and Crab-stuffed Jalapeño Peppers ($12.99). Perhaps most important, however, are the game time 50-cent oysters.

It’s well worth the drive to San Leon to experience this posh yet unfussy bayside oyster house. It’s exactly where you want to be on a pleasant day, slurping the freshest possible Gulf Oysters (second-generation oysterman Raz Halili of Prestige Oysters owns the place) and chowing down on former Brennan’s chef Joe Cervantez’s poised menu of Crispy Red Snapper, Seafood Pasta, and more. When you’re done noshing, grab a porch swing and gaze out over the water while indulging in a few more refreshing beverages.
