Luigi’s Pizza & Axelrad Beer Garden: Swing at One of Houston’s Best Patios!

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Hammocks at Luigis and Axelrads
Address: 3700 Almeda Rd, Houston, TX 77004

This week’s Houston restaurant has one of the the very coolest patios, is kid friendly… and is also half beer garden. Yes, beer garden.

Luigi’s Pizza & Axelrad on the edge of midtown (and nearly in 3rd ward) share a patio between their restaurants. And this patio is filled with hammocks.

I had heard this place was in Houston and that early in the day the crowds were small and the scene was family friendly… and when we drove by, my kids nearly jumped from the moving vehicle to play on the patio.

Axelrad and Luigis Hammock
We parked in the free lot behind the restaurants (which has a parking attendant because I bet it gets very busy) and ran into Luigis. We quickly ordered wings, bread sticks and pizza and were off to the patio!

For a late weekday lunch, we had much of the space to ourselves. I reminded the kids that it was not a playground, but an awesome patio, and to swing gently on dozen hammocks. After trying out every single one (and only “accidentally” flipping a sister out of one), we settled for our favorites.

Our food arrived quickly and we shared our pizza, wings and bread sticks on the patio. The food was good, the crowds were light and the patio was amazing.

In the evenings, I know the place gets busy and there are a lot of young adults at the beer garden. But, for lunch or early dinner, the place was nice and calm (except for the one flip-my-sister-from-a-hammock incident).

If you are up for something new… and don’t mind dodging the grown up crowd to do it, check out Luigi’s Pizza in midtown! More pictures and a map are below!

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
