20 Creative Baseball Party Food Ideas

Baseball parties are about more than just good company and a great game. We want some amazing snacks to go along with it all! So let Peerspace, the nation’s leading online marketplace for event venue rentals, help with 20 of our favorite baseball party food ideas for a tasty home run!

1. Serve soft and chewy beer pretzel nuggets

Is there anything better than pretzels and beer during a baseball game? Probably not; the one downside is that they are two separate items…At least they used to be! Check out this recipe for beer pretzel nuggets from Taste of Home that take just over an hour to make.

2. Set out some beer cheese dip

We’ve got beer in our pretzels; now it’s time to add beer to our cheese! This recipe for beer cheese dip by Delish is just the right sauce for the snack table. The prep time is just 20 minutes and the recipe results in a generous portion of chips, pretzels, wings, and veggies!

Beer cheese dip takes just minutes to prepare and so does booking a party venue in advance with Peerspace! We have baseball party spots like this Houston sports bar filled with amenities like flat-screen TVs, wall-mounted sports jerseys, and bartenders available for hire!

3. Serve homemade ice cream made from scratch

If you want to bring summer to life, just think about baseball and ice cream. Storebought ice cream is easy to find but it sure can be boring! So how about making your own awesome ice cream to bring to the party? Start with this simple recipe and add chocolate flakes, almonds, blueberries, herb oils, or anything else you want for the ice cream of your dreams!

4. Arrange an artistic chips and dip board

Food boards are a great way to take simple concepts and artistically present them. Many of the boards we’ve presented here are a great match for a baseball party but the best might be the chips and dip board! You’ll be using multiple kinds of chips presented in groups that best show off their unique shapes and colors along with a few bowls of dip that look good and taste delicious.

5. Brew a classic summer lemonade

Lemonade is another refreshing summer flavor that we all crave when up in the stands watching a game of baseball. It’s also an incredibly easy baseball party food idea to pull off. After all, even the best lemonade recipes use just four ingredients: lemons, sugar, ice, and water. Head to Allrecipes for a good breakdown on brewing classic lemonade!

6. Fry up some corn dogs for tasty nostalgia on a stick

Corn dogs are a staple at baseball games, state fairs, movie theaters, and other fun-filled places. You might think making them is challenging but they’re really no harder than fried chicken or other foods fried in oil. This recipe from The Pioneer Woman guides you through making the cornbread batter from scratch. Don’t forget ketchup, nacho cheese, mustard, and other dipping sauces for your corn dogs!

7. Make some extra moist Coca-Cola burgers

Soda and hamburger are baseball party flavors that we typically enjoy separately. But did you know they’re actually amazing together? This recipe from Taste of Home uses soda in the burger and burger sauce! Something you have to take our word for as a truly creative innovation.

8. Build the perfect game day hot dog

The stadium hot dog is as American as apple pie but you really can put whatever you like on it. The classic version is probably ketchup, mustard, and relish. But other people will have grown up with chili and cheese, sauerkraut, or just a single condiment of their choice. As long as you have all-beef hot dogs and a tasty bun, you’re good to go!

9. Serve sweet and crunchy churros

Fried churros kind of look like hot dogs but are very much their own flavor sensation! These Mexican fritters are popular at fairs, baseball games, and other events. Each crunch and sweet bite only demands further tasting. Being made of just seasoned fried dough they take just 20 minutes to make yourself using this recipe.

10. Make perfect french fries from scratch

French fries are the perfect pairing to hot dogs, burgers, and other classic baseball party food ideas. So how can we make our fries extra special? By making them yourself rather than going with the store-bought frozen ones. Not only are they crispier and more satisfying; you can customize them easier with the seasonings of your choice!

11. Try topping oven-baked nachos with your favorite ingredients

Nachos are a menu option that can be as simple or advanced as you like. Basic nachos with warm chips and hot queso are a good beginning. But you can also follow this recipe for some oven-baked nachos covered in olives, peppers, and cheddar for the ultimate game day snack!

12. Upgrade your hot dogs with Coney Island sauce

Even the most dedicated baseball party snack might have missed out on this regional specialty! Coney Island sauce is just the thing to transform a basic hot dog or burger into a flavor masterpiece. Follow this recipe from Taste of Home to instantly upgrade your baseball party food ideas.

Speaking of upgrades, have you thought about how to make your baseball party venue even better? Simply choose one of Peerspace’s top game day venues like this multilevel sports bar in San Francisco, CA, with 21 TVs, 40 taps, and space for up to 250 people to party!

13. Freeze some copycat Klondike bars

Do you have plenty of time before the baseball party starts? Then take a few hours to freeze your own lookalike Klondike bars! Delish is here to guide you through the steps to making these classic summer ice cream delights.

14. Make your own oven-baked Buffalo chicken wings

Spicy Buffalo wings with celery sticks and ranch dressing can find a place at any game day snack table! Most folks opt to buy them from pizza and sub shops but how about whipping up a batch of your own wings for the party? These easy instructions from Natasha’s Kitchen are all you need for crispy, perfect Buffalo wings.

15: Set out a bowl of salted peanuts

Not every baseball party food idea needs to be an hours-long project. If you have just minutes before the game is about to begin, a bowl of salted peanuts is an instant delight! You can make it a little more unique by adding a few different kinds of nuts, Chex mix, dried fruit, or M&Ms to the mix if you like.

16. Enjoy the best of both worlds with beer margaritas

Tequila and beer work together better than you might think! A beer margarita has ample sweet, sour, and hop flavors that not only taste great but are sure to surprise your party guests. The recipe from Taste of Home is also simple to double or triple for your gameday group.

17. Upgrade your chip dips with homemade guacamole

Guacamole is something you see at almost every party – but it’s almost guaranteed to be store-bought stuff. We think it’s better to make your own guac instead. In doing so, you can add extra garlic, use tasty additions like tomatillos, or make it as smooth or chunky as you like!

18. Go light and fresh with fruit popsicles

Are all the cheese, beer, and meat recipes making you feel a bit overwhelmed? Start with something light like a fresh fruit popsicle! These use fresh or frozen fruit blended into frozen delights that include any of your favorite flavors, like strawberries, blueberries, or mixed fruit.

19. Make a mess with a classic funnel cake

Funnel cake is one of those baseball party food ideas that you have to accept will get everywhere. The powdered sugar just explodes from the cake with each bite – but kids and adults alike know that’s secretly part of the fun. If you’ve never made your own funnel cake, check out this guide from The Food Network for the finer points!

20. Glaze some sweet caramel popcorn

Caramel popcorn takes just over an hour to prepare; a bit longer than traditional popcorn but very much worth the wait. It’s a sweet snack that’s great for baseball, movie, or Kentucky Derby parties alike. Plus you can add a little bourbon, paprika, or chocolate to make the candy glaze even better!
