50 Best Wine Bars in Austin

“Love it here! Fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere.“

“Chef’s tasting Menu … Chef Charles is a genius.“

“Thanks!! We’ll miss your delicious food and presence in the neighborhood“

“Food was excellent & the atmosphere was very warm & cozy.“

“Casa Bianca is one of the most stunning restaurants I’ve ever visited. It’s an ideal spot for a romantic date or a fun gathering with friends. The happy hour is fantastic, both in the main restaurant and at the rooftop bar, Alcina. I highly recommend trying the Surfer Rosa frozen cocktail, which is exclusively available upstairs.

Each dish seemed to have so much care and thought put into it by the chefs, with meticulous attention to detail!“

“I typically find wine bars a little intimidating and standoffish. With LoLo, pleasantly, you get the exact opposite experience. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The service helpful and friendly, but not pushy; everyone is eager and excited to help you find a fantastic food and wine pairing. The snacks are perfectly simple and delicious. I went with sparkling wine because we were celebrating, and I’ve never had such interesting and dynamic selections. 😋“

“The staff is so nice. I got the sliders(2) this second time I was here for HH and they're very decently priced(along with the rest of the HH) and they're really good. The first time i was here, I had the short ribs which were "off menu" but that was cooked perfectly as well. The bar area is huge, I do know it can get packed later in the night!“

“My friends and I had girls night here on a Saturday and it’s definitely an elevated experience! The vibe has a DJ kinda reminding me of Dayclub in Mykonos? The seafood is great and the drinks experience was even better, i definitely recommend“

“As always, for many years we’ve dined at Jeffrey’s and we are very pleased with the service and of course our food. Can’t say enough!“

“Fun times I was there for the 2024 Cheftochef conference!“

“Ezov has just launched a new Sunday Brunch — à la carte style.
We arrived with high expectations, and they were more than exceeded.

The vibe was wonderful: lively, yet still easy to have a good conversation. The staff were super friendly and genuinely excited, explaining the new brunch dishes with a sparkle in their eyes.

The dishes were unique and absolutely delicious. Our standouts:
• Sabich Benedict Eggs — a multilayered, crispy flavor composition.
• Falafel Scotch Eggs — the best falafel ever: juicy yet crisp, served with three fantastic dips.
• Baklava — honestly the best we’ve ever had: fresh, crisp, and moist, bursting with pistachio flavor.
• Orange Blossom Buns — wow, such a multidimensional flavor experience.

We enjoyed everything with a perfectly selected Italian rosé sparkling wine — delightfully fruity yet wonderfully dry.

We had a gorgeous time and will definitely be back soon!“

“Food was amazing and great place too“

“I was treated to the most delicious Birthday Brunch at June's. It was my first time there, and as a designer my friend was right, I appreciated every detail in food presentation down to the monogram on the plates. Excellent original food and customer service. Highly recommend!!“

“The food is very well executed and presented, the staff are very attentive.“

“The food here is wonderful, and I highly recommend the mushrooms. They’re perfectly crispy like chips but with that umami mushroom flavor and spot-on seasoning. I could eat them forever. The squash risotto was also cooked beautifully, with the squash itself seasoned just right and a slight char that made it even better.

The staff here are so nice and helpful, recommending things with so much enthusiasm that you can’t help but feel happy to be there too. At night, the outdoor area feels like a little garden with pretty lights and a cozy vibe. Just don’t make the same mistake I did and wander into the building on the right as that’s a completely different restaurant. Toti is just very small and easy to miss.“

“Fabulous dinner staff and chef amazing“

“My husband and I are regulars at Holiday. They boast the perfect combination of atmosphere, food, and drinks. There’s no pretense behind anything they do, it’s just good shit. I recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a good cocktail and a good time. They never fail us 🍸🍝 p.s. of course try their famous martinis, but my go-to is a gin gimlet 🙂‍↔️“

“Family friends and our family have eaten at Gusto two times in the last month and a half. Everything was terrific. First visit we had the fritto misto (3 orders) and everyone got a different entree. From the meatballs to lasagna to branzino to pizza. And everyone was happy! Followed by a little dessert (tiramisu and panna cotta) and espresso martinis, one with Baileys added. Second visit almost more of the same. Delicious! And it is so lovely that they take reservations.

The wait staff was super attentive both times. Shout out to Conner, though I forgot our main waiter's name on the second visit.

One of our favorite places!“

“Every item from cocktails to desert were incredible. Fantastic service as well.“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“This is my FAV place in Austin to date. I love the atmosphere and the staff is always on point.“

“Our family converged on the little gold mine in the middle of Austin TX for a wedding and reception. We could only imagine that the employees must own the place. They never stop providing the kind of customer service that kings and queens expect! Every aspect of our stay…top notch! Thanks for the Lazardo Cherries Anthony! Hoping to visit again one day!!!“

“Wonderful selection of books and plenty of cozy places to sit, read and enjoy a drink.“

“I came here on a Saturday night with my friend, and we had such a great time! Our waiter was super knowledgeable (which was great because I don't know much about wine), the atmosphere was calm, and the wine flight was a great way to try a few different types of wine without breaking the bank. I'll definitely be back!“

“Decent wine selection by the glass and bottle. Outdoor, covered seating is a plus, so bring your pup. The pizza has a nice crunch to the crust and is available by the slice or as a whole pie. It's decent but not the best in town as some have stated. The Ceasar Salad is a very large portion for $14. Nice and refreshing in such hot weather. We will probably come back to try some other pizzas. The staff is attentive and friendly and keep the restaurant pretty clean.“

“Cute vibes, and a different take on Korean food.

Food: we had the fried chicken, seasonal salad, and the wagyu. When looking around.. sooo many people had the fried chicken and our server told us they were known for their fried chicken and wagyu steak- which is why we got both. The fried chicken was a bit of a letdown for me. It was dry, wasn’t that crispy, and the flavor wasn’t out of this world- just tasted like toasted seaweed because of the nori flakes. Idk… just didn’t get the hype for $36 for a very small half bird. The wagyu was good tho, if not a bit sweet. Think bulgogi sauce marinaded. They had a great dipping sauce, but the meat wasn’t particularly tender and I wasn’t even asked what temperature I like my steak. It came out med rare. The kimchi that accompanied it was a cantaloupe kimchi.. which was ok, not my fav. The side pear salad tho was delicious, but still.. $18 for a side of pears and cucumbers.

Atmosphere was good. Very vibey and cute.

There’s a parking garage connected and they validate parking.“

“The barista designing the recipes is a flavor genius. We tried his summer seasonal latte, the Plantain Tropicana & it was breathtaking... you won't find something like that anywhere else. We will be rushing back for his fall seasonal drink, and every drink after. The coffee shop itself is so modern and beautiful, a perfect work environment. Hidden Austin Gem.“

“This spot is a gem! Absolutely perfect! Best everything, beautiful space, and elegant service- don’t miss this experience!“

“Love this wine bar! It’s a great place to sit outside with your dog or sit inside and cowork. Truly a gem of the neighborhood. I typically order food from Little Deli because their pizza is EVERYTHING I want! VC has a great wine selection and beautiful dish wear.“

“the bartenders are amazing here and the drinks are perfect. great place for a chill drink. also amazing spot for a date- the music is solid but calm enough you can have a conversation! get the mon cherry drink if you like a tart crisp drink- just wow!“

“With the largest selection of wines on tap, there is something for everyone!“

“Had a great experience at Bar AC with Jerome being our bartender. He took extra time and care to make our favorite cocktails and even recommended some he thought we would like. Tried the blood orange margarita and it was excellent. Thank you Jerome for making our Friday evening that much more special.“

“Fabulous friendly and knowledgeable staff, great atmosphere whether you want to kibitz with others or work quietly alone. Great option from the sports bars, healthier food options. The way things are with the airlines these days, this is a good respite!“

“Alif was such a great server and made our night at Rosie’s Wine Bar even better. He was super friendly, fun to talk to, and really knew his stuff when it came to wine—we got to try a bunch of different ones and found a few new favorites. We’d for sure come back just because of him.“

“good good good good good good good“

“Went to the Cedar Park location and had a great experience! The food was brought out quickly & was delicious. The manager even came to check on us after receiving our food and brought us a dessert too since it was our first visit here. Hospitality was superb and we’ll definitely be back!“

“We had a fantastic Generous Pour dinner. Thomas was an amazing server/wine sommelier.
We love this event every year. We had filets (gorgonzola crust w/cabernet reduction) and (Konami coffee crusted with caramelized onions)
Au gratin potatoes & creamed corn with bacon. Tried the double cut bacon too. Wow! Flavors were fantastic. Tasted great. We will be bringing friends the next time!“

“The sauce was a little sweet for me, but their shredded cheese game is on point. It's a pretty good pie. Not the best I've had in the city, but I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again if a friend wanted to meet here for lunch.

Great service, and the crust was yummy.“

“De nada is amazing!!!!! If you are looking for a Mexican place look no further and come to de nada. The queso, the salsa trio, and the Barbacoa taco… I would sell my first born for the barbacoa taco. The margs are very fresh and strong. Our server Jorge is the best server in the game. I would 10/10 recommend this fine establishment!“

“I will be completely honest— I was originally extremely skeptical of this place. I’ve noticed a trend in Austin recently where private, for-profit ventures have been co-opting naming conventions commonly used for public space/community ownership/places for people to gather that don’t require spending money (like community garden, assembly hall, public goods, etc). But I really think they’re doing the best they can to foster a sense of community. They do a lot of programming that is free and accessible, like doodling nights. The space, both indoor and outdoor, is really beautiful. I sometimes come on the weekends to read in the morning and there are always at least 3 or 4 other people doing the same thing. The no laptop policy after 5 is awesome in my opinion. In the past few years, Austin coffee shops have become a cacophony of people taking work calls which is infuriating, inconsiderate, and distracting. It’s amazing that this place offers a respite from devices. And I haven’t tried the evening menu but am excited to!

To the person who complained about parking— unless you want community garden to tear down another local business and build a parking lot, the best option is probably for people to park using the ample street parking (which is public). I live in a neighborhood next to a bunch medical offices and people are constantly parking in front of my house, but the reality is that I am not any more entitled to that public space than someone else just because it’s in front of my house. Austin is growing and ideas/the culture around entitlement to parking spaces need to change“

“We had a blast performing there. Bar tenders were awesome“

“Great experience when we came for a wine tasting one night. Blurred vines has been open for about a year and has been great for the entire existence. They've recently adjusted their price to be lower and it's definitely more affordable and worth going. The service was fantastic, our sommelier Austin was incredible, and we ended up getting 2 bottles (also reasonably priced)“

“It’s been a couple years since I have dined at TFB. Have received cookie tins the last 3 years. This business is above magnificent!
Great service, great food and overall great people. TFB cares about what and who they are serving. Always consistent!
And btw, I’m from Omaha Nebraska!!!!
I love receiving their emails, Murph is so eloquent in his messages. He makes me feel like I am part of the family“

“fantastic gnocchi. sauces are full of flavor. ambiance is on point .“

“Beautiful outdoor and delicious food and drinks ☺️“

“We had the most amazing dinner at the Water Trough! Our waiter was attentive and friendly, and the manager Bobby is so nice and fun as well. Great places to sit inside and outside. We loved the atmosphere with great vibe, live music (very talented guitarist and singer) that was a great volume, nice for the atmosphere but wasn’t too loud so you can still enjoy conversation. When it got windy it was a bit chilly and they turned on these beautiful outdoor gas fires that made it nice and warm.

And the food was delicious! We got quesadillas, chicken fried steak and the pear/buratta/cherry tomato salad and would highly recommend all of these dishes. We’ll definitely be back!“

“What a nice surprise to find this very reasonably-priced eatery in the middle of Austin's Mueller development. Sunday seemed to be a breakfast-all-day affair, and there were several appetizing options, good coffee and a full cocktail and drinks selection on offer. Service was swiftly and efficiently provided by the delightful staff. And the booth where we were seated was pleasantly quiet -- a good spot for proper conversation without having to shout, which can be an issue at other Mueller venues. We'll be back!“
