50 Best Wine Bars in Houston

“The vibe is perfect, the food is delicious, and the wine selection is outstanding. A must-visit spot for a memorable night out!“

“Came to try the pizza and was totally blown away by all of the food!!! The pane was delicious and light seasoned perfectly. The ricotta appetizer was delicious but very heavy on onions. So be aware. The special pizza of r here evening was calabrese and was really good. Nice Napoli fold on the crust! Good sauce that wasn’t too sweet. Desserts were great!! Almond biscotti was amazing!! Latte was a really good coffee!! Amour server was delightful and very attentive. We felt right at home and no rushed at all. Will be back! The menu has so many items we want to try!“

“Celebrated my 40th birthday here with a group of friends and I am so glad I did!!!! Mauricio made the planning process fun and easy, the staff were all wonderful and super helpful, the atmosphere was calm and enjoyable, and the food/wine was all really good. We had a great time and will come back again for sure!“

“Bar Bludorn is hands down one of the best local restaurants in Houston! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm, cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The bar is perfect for a relaxed drink, and the service is always top-notch. The food is absolutely phenomenal—each dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavor. Whether you're in the mood for something light or indulging in their delicious steak, every bite is a true delight. It's the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a special dinner. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Houston“

“Doris Metropolitan is a true gem for steak lovers—and even for those who aren’t!

Their selection of premium steaks is outstanding, but what makes this place even better is the variety for non-steak eaters—think perfectly seared scallops, fresh fish, and even flavorful goat chops. The sides are just as impressive: rich and earthy mushrooms, crispy Parmesan garlic fries, and beautifully caramelized Brussels sprouts.

The beverage program deserves its own spotlight. The wine list is pages long, packed with premium bottles, and the range of scotch and bourbon is top-notch—you’ll have a hard time choosing just one.

And the dessert? Absolute showstopper. A whiskey-dipped chocolate cake paired with charred banana—it’s indulgent, bold, and unforgettable. Enjoy it with a glass of bourbon and you’ll see why it’s the perfect ending to a special evening.

Highly recommend Doris Metropolitan for an upscale dining experience with incredible food, drinks, and atmosphere.“

“Anvil Bar is one of those places that just gets it right. The second you walk in, the vibe is on point chill, fun, and full of good people. If you're looking to have a great time, be around awesome energy, and sip on some unreal cocktails, this is the spot. Trust me on this one-no notes needed.
,
The drinks are of the highest level, and the service is seriously top-tier. Massive shoutout to Mabel, Corey, and Manny the man🧍‍♂️ and the whole team. They’re all super professional, but still keep things relaxed and fun. You feel welcomed, taken care of, and honestly, like part of the place.

There’s this younger, fresh energy that makes you want to stay all night. Whether you're out with friends or just stopping by, Anvil always hits. Keep it up, guys-you're doing something special. Can’t wait to come back.

Best,
Manny the honey 🍯🙏“

“I have family in this town. Knowing my ancestry I was ask to go dine here. Was my second time in Houston but first time to enjoy it properly. Barcelona was no deception. I am often critical of native food overseas. Portions, atmosphere and even (although not tried this time) occasional great surprises; wine pairing is exceptional and from peers feedback, the cocktails did not disappoint either. B (our server) and the management courteous greetings are commendable. In addition, having a Valet P next door is a plus as this area is probably quite expensive to park otherwise. So yeah. I was impressed and annotate it for future visits.“

“Love this place! Such a cute spot to relax with friends. The roof top just adds to the ambiance of the place!! The owner and additional staff are just as great! I don’t like to be a regular anywhere just for the fact that this is Houston and there’s so much to try, but this place has me coming back again and again! 5 stars!“

“I really enjoyed a gathering of the houston symphony league wine society at the vine memorial. I was delighted to be introduced to this local spot and found it comfortable, warm and inviting. The staff was lovely and attentive.“

“I am a new regular visitor of Houston since my boyfriend moved here a few weeks ago and decided to order a random veggie sandwich and soup… the veggie Sammie and posole from local foods is probably the best veggie sandwich I have ever had!!! The posole was A+++++ and I am from El Paso Texas, where grew up on posole and have some of the best Mexican food you’ll ever eat. The sandwich was so flavorful and fresh, I added tofu and vegan aioli and could not believe how delicious this was! The posole was top knotch! Clean, tasty and the perfectly seasoned. It’s been 3 days since I had this meal and I am dying to go sit and actually eat here!!! Can’t wait to go and try something else! There were so many clean eats and veggie options I am so excited to try it all! Well done!!!!!“

“We attended Reggae Night on a Thursday and had a great time! When we arrived around 9:30pm, the DJ (Caucasian male) was jamming, even though the crowd was small. We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered rum punch and wings, both of which were really good. Between playing Connect 4, dancing, and soaking in the music, we enjoyed ourselves for a little over an hour. Definitely a fun, laid back vibe!“

“Casual relaxing atmosphere with an amazing selction of wines and great cuisine !“

“This place is AMAZING 😃 my wife and were in Houston for 2 nights. We came here because it was close to our hotel and we had such an amazing experience that we did something we NEVER do…….. we came back for the second night rather than checking out a different restaurant. James our bartender is “out of this world” charismatic and we had a blast. Food was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. We will be back 🙏🏽💗“

“the blending of toppings, sauce and light tasty crust are masterfully done! staff is friendly, atmosphere is great, drink selection both soft and alcoholic is vast, and I've yet to take someone who hadn't been impressed. great job team TGP 👏 I can't wait to see what you all bring in the future“

“Without a doubt, we will be back. This was our second time here. Great staff and even better food!“

“This is a neighborhood staple. If you haven’t been hearing you’re missing out.“

“Excellent wines! Excellent foods! Excellent service!!“

“Great restaurant in a lovely neighborhood. The food was delicious and the happy hour charcuterie board was great followed by a 3 meat pizza. The chocolate cookie is amazing.“

“So we did Dine in the Dark here. No photos to post and will not tell you what was on the menu, but I was very good! It’s amazing how senses changed when one was taken away. Something you need to experience for yourself.“

“Fun atmosphere and unique drinks.“

“I found here a small, lovely, and quiet place in which you can actually listen to your friends or family talking... I stay away from loud places as it interferes with communication. Food is delicious!!! Coffe to die for. Totally recommended“

“Food was perfect. It's a little more expensive since the food is inspected for kosher observance.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options since the place is kosher.

Dietary restrictions: All the food here is kosher. There is no dairy.

Parking: This place is in a large shopping center so there is plenty of free parking.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible.“

“Stumbled across this restaurant this weekend and it was absolutely wonderful! Definitely will be a staple of ours :)“

“Great sport for Happy Hour and great selection for wines by the glass!“

“Best daiquiri & customer service in Houston Tx“

“🤩Great place great service, and a great place to learn about wine and try new things.“

“Great place for a glass of wine and a great meal.“

“The staff is very knowledgeable about all sorts of wines. Very friendly and helpful“

“I absolute love this Postino at Uptown Park. I came here for an afternoon snack. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. I told her I don't drink alcoholic beverage. She showed me the non-alcoholic wine and it was so delicious paired with the bruschetta.“

“Food is Devine and wine🍷😋“

“Great place with amazing wine. All open bottles are only $12 a glass no matter what the bottle price is. The bartenders are super knowledgeable & can answer your questions, give you samples. Love the vibe of this place!“

“Amazing food and wine. The manager was a dream. Will most defos be back!!“

“It is certainly not a large posh place but somewhere you may feel comfortable however you dress and whether or not you know anyone. The owner and bar keeper are like family and served bbq shrimp on the counter for customers. I attended a memorial for an actor and it was just right. If it bothers you that the ceiling was leaking into a bucket this may not be your place but, for me and the others, no body seemed to notice.“

“This place has Houston Haze IPA on tap. If you're into the H-town craft beer scene and dig IPAs (like basically every beer bro on the planet) then you've likely heard of Spindle Tap brewery and know Houston Haze (if not, check it out, HEB has it in cans in the Houston area). Man this stuff is dank on draft, it's so Hazy that you can watch it swim around in the glass like the nitrogen settling in a Guinness. I discovered it about 20 min before boarding and had a couple big ones. Pounded, not regretted!! Keep that stuff on tap and I'll stop by everytime in terminal D. Get some!“

“The bartender was very nice and very knowledgeable about their wines. I was unfamiliar with their 'by the glass' selection, and she recommended one that was nice. I only wish they had more red blends on the 'by the glass' menu.“

“We love the food at Bravery Hall. Everything we’ve tried has been delicious. Drunken Pho is a favorite and Bhan Bhan Thai is also a win. With that said, the bar in the main dining area is disappointing….be ready to wait, be ignored, wait some more, and pay more than you should.“

“The pizza is very thin like a premade cracker and the cheese tray didn't have half of the ingredients listed on the menu. Yet I really like this place because of the bartender is so nice and the vibe is relaxed both in and out. I like to sit both places and just enjoy a drink.“

“We came for Sunday brunch. We got four apps for four people and shared them. The servings were huge! The food was all good. The buffalo cauliflower was delicious, and Brussel sprouts were really good as well! The queso was a light on meat to the point that I can't remember if it had bacon or chorizo. And the guac wasn't bad but not amazing. Good all around.“

“I usually don't review but this place deserves it. It was my first time eating here and it was amazing. Albert explained how every topping was made and the sauces. Also I have never had a pizza place that could do a pizza half/half with different sauces. Usually it's only toppings but same sauce when doing half/half. Making this my go to pizza place“

“Best SUNDAY TO PARTY EVER !“

“Where can I get started, the food is delicious and atmosphere is great, good music and delicious drinks! I celebrated my birthday here with all my loved ones and I can say we all had a good time. As you may know, parking can be rough in downtown but they make it easy with their valet parking and for a reasonable price! I definitely recommend!“

“As usual, everything about this local, husband and wife run restaurant was outstanding. The menu is not huge but has every type of entree one could want -- fish, chicken, steak, pork belly, rack of lamb and short ribs. The couple that run and operate this restaurant are friendly, professional, and hard working. They have earned our repeat business and will continue to do so. If you have not been here, bring your own bottle of wine (or two) and you will not regret it.“

“Awesome food and great service 🩵“

“Amazing comfort food. Super friendly service and great atmosphere. Definitely will be back soon.“

“I've loved Seasons 52 for years- been a favorite of mine for the great food and atmosphere at a great price point, but last night they kicked it out of the park. We had a party of 6 celebrating my birthday and they made a point to make the whole evening special. From the manager stopping by and joining the singing of Happy Birthday, to chef bringing out an appetizer for us to try and then my favorite of Seasons 52- the mini desserts! Great evening with family and friends made more special by the staff of Seasons 52!“

“Everything that I've had has been stellar. My favorites: Chicken Parm sandwich or plate, meat lovers pizza and the rigatoni campagnola.“
