Alamo Bowl 2017: Where to Eat, Drink in San Antonio
The Alamo Bowl between Stanford and TCU kicks off at 9:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, December 28. It ranked No. 12 on Eric Single's Entertainment Bowl Rankings. He wrote: "The mysteries of bowl season: Why do the Pac-12’s two top games outside the New Year’s Six kick off at the same time (9 p.m. ET) on the same day (Dec. 28) on different channels (FS1 for the Holiday Bowl, ESPN for the Alamo)? If the conference is making you choose between two top teams, choose the Cardinal as Bryce Love tries to burn Gary Patterson’s defense."

Sample Yelp Review: "Such a fun spot on the river walk closer to the Pearl than downtown. The swings overlooking the water are so fun! The menu is simple but good. I had the Cobb salad with fried chicken and my brother had the burger. All their Texas beers are really fun. I had the honey pecan ale. They were out of shiner cheer and the yellow rose IPA which was disappointing. Very dog friendly and we saw a couple precious pups! Wish I didn't have to leave my guy back in Seattle." (—Lucia H.)
