Coming to Houston for the first time in May – what should we do before the game?

I’m coming to Houston for the first time this May for my bachelor party. We’re coming from Milwaukee and going to the games against the brewers on 5/18 and 5/19. There will be 12 of us.

What spots do you guys like to go to for food and drinks before the game? Also where do you like to sit? Any other tips for a first timer? I definitely prefer to do as the locals do rather than the touristy spots or kitschy places that pop up near stadiums that lure outsiders and are just overpriced wannabe sports bars.
