What about Alamo Drafthouse? Free admission, good food and beer, and the biggest HD screen around…

If you’re in Hays County, I recommend the Taproom in San Marcos. Awesome international beer selection and amazing burgers. (unsolicited plug)

The Drafthouse isn’t free ($15) — and most locations are already sold out. (As of last night, that is…)

Everybody should go to Texas Embassy Sports Bar on 6th street. Free parking across the street in their annex building as well. It’s at the corner of 6th street and I-35. 4 projectors screens, 4 52 inch flat screens and 3 42 inch flat screens to enjoy the game. Upstairs and downstairs seating so bring a crowd!!! HOOK EM HORNS
