Where to Drink Like Beyoncé and Watch the Texans Halftime Show on Christmas Day in Houston

In honor of Beyoncé’s halftime show at the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game at NRG Stadium, these restaurants and bars are hosting watch parties with themed drinks

Beyoncé has had a big year. Not only did she release her first country studio album in March, but she also launched her own whiskey brand — SirDavis American Whisky, inspired by her great-grandfather, who was a moonshiner in the South during Prohibition. SirDavis Whisky hosted its official invite-only local launch party for the spirit on Thursday, December 19, at the Warwick in Houston, where celebrities like rappers Travis Scott and Slim Thug, singer and Destiny Child’s member Letoya Luckett, Bun B, Houston Rockets player Jaelen Green and partner Draya Michele, and NFL Hall-of-Famer and former Houston Texans player Andre Johnson attended.

And on Christmas Day, Houston’s hometown hero will perform at the much-anticipated halftime show at the Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game at NRG Stadium, which will stream on Netflix. To no surprise, Houston is already preparing, with a handful of restaurants and bars that are open, serving special whiskey-based drinks and cocktails for the occasion. So, whether you’re looking for a fun spot to watch the game or the perfect sip while at the stadium, here’s how to drink like Beyoncé on Christmas:
