R & R Sports Bar Friendswood

Description

R & R doesn't look like much has changed since whenever the classic sports bar opened - which, judging by the trading cards and Sports Illustrated covers trapped beneath the lacquered bar top, appears to be 1992 or '93. The Internet jukebox might be the newest thing here, and the wooden football helmets tucked behind the bar have probably been painted a few times to update the logos. The stage at the front hosts plenty of country and blues on Fridays and Saturdays, and a homemade painting of ZZ Top hovers over the soundboard. Tables take up the main floor space, while an array of big-screen TVs line the wall amidst paintings of Houston sports legends. In the back, a hazy cluster of dartboards, shuffleboard and pool tables lies among several ledges lined with barstools.
