50 Best Wine Bars in Houston

“I don’t post often, but this was a remarkable dining experience. My wife and I recently shared a a special menu item- a beautifully braised veal shank with rich jus and almond gremolata- paired with saffron risotto, stewed artichokes, and a bright arugula-preserved lemon salad (plus brioche to soak up every drop of jus). Btw- Though it was noted “for 2” the veal was large enough to feed (4) hungry adults.

As always, Bar Bludorn delivers polished service, refined food, and an excellent wine and cocktail program- the reasons we keep returning to both Bar Bludorn and Bludorn.“

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

“I co-hosted my sister’s baby shower at Padre’s and it was a wonderful event. What was truly amazing is that my sister had just moved to Houston and almost no one lived there (myself included), Mauricio was really amazing at helping us bring the event together from different states, and very helpful even as we finalized the menu the day before. The wines were great and everyone enjoyed the food - the hot dogs were definitely a favorite! Padre’s is a great venue and the food and wine were great! I would definitely recommend and plan on returning.“

“Great variety of tapas. Excellent food quality. Reasonable prices.“

“had a great time yesterday night, perfect for a romantic or a friendly date. The wines list is top, and the pairings match perfectly.“

“Highly recommend Mimo! It is probably our favorite Italian restaurant in all of Houston.

On our most recent visit we ordered the pane, ricotta, house salad, pansotti, and tagliata and everything was perfect.

The weeknight happy hour is also a great deal for wine, appetizers, and pizza.“

“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“

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

“This place is truly special. Incredible cuts of meats, perfectly cooked. Their menu that really sets them apart from other steakhouses. The cocktails are amazing and they have a great wine selection.

Eugene was a fantastic server and really helped elevate the night!“

“Had a fantastic dinner with my wife, celebrating her 60th Birthday, Chef Tony made it night to remember. Thank you chef and you incredible staff.“

“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!!!!!“

“Okay I have to laugh because this one got me 😂 We ordered martinis and asked for blue cheese olives, pretty standard garnish request, right? Well apparently these olives came with a VIP wristband because we were charged $1 per olive. Yes. Per. Olive. 🫒 Not gonna lie, I’ve eaten at a lot of places and this is the first time a garnish showed up on the bill like it was the main course. Had we known it was an upcharge, totally fine, just tell us! It’s not about the few bucks, it’s about the surprise plot twist at the bottom of the receipt. At this rate I half expected the lemon twist to come with financing options 😆 Transparency = happy customers. Mystery olive fees = comedy material.“

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

“My first time eating here. Timmy made the BEST a recommendations & added an extra touch to our meal. It was great chatting with Rene who made us feel incredibly welcome.“

“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!“

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

“That mushroom and cauliflower pizza was a total win after the Rockets game tonight. The food is great, but let’s be honest, I am definitely the best thing you will see in Houston this evening. A confident guy should say hello and find out what you are missing.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Uptown Houston Texas.💯🙏❤️“

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

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

“I just hosted my baby shower here. We had about 30 attendees. The owner was very responsive on questions and provided great ideas and feedback. Day of the event ran so smoothly, everything was taken care of. The food spread was beautiful and delicious, the wine and drinks options were various, and the location itself required very few decorations to make the space feel special for the baby shower. The owner even helped coordinate day of with cake delivery and lent us a cake stand for display. The staff were friendly and very attentive making sure everyone had a drink and plates were bussed quickly preventing any clutter or build up. They were also amazing helping us get everything setup including decorations, a bouquet bar, and provided ideas for how best to utilize the space. Overall, the event was so seamless, everyone had an amazing time and raved about the venue and food, and it took so much stress off my hosts from needing to worry about restocking food and drinks. 10/10 would plan another event here!“

“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.“

“Love Carrabba’s (Kirby). We live in DFW area now. Everytime we visit H-Town Carrabba’s is on our list of Things To Do“

“Best SUNDAY TO PARTY EVER !“

“Best daiquiri & customer service in Houston Tx“

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

“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!“

“We stumbled into this restaurant on a Saturday looking for breakfast and fell in love. Everything was excellent, atmosphere, food, staff and service. We liked it so much that we went back the next day for lunch. It truly is a gem of a restaurant!“

“If I could give this place a million stars I would.

The BEST drinks, service and hospitality I have ever experienced

Special thanks to Tommy, Liz and the entire staff for making my night an incredible experience I will never forget“

“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.“

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

“Good food! Very tasty 👍🥰 friendly atmosphere ❤️“

“Always amazing food and service!“

“The food was fantastic, service was good. My waitress was very busy (the place is very busy) but she still made sure to check on me and make sure everything was OK. They have a funny rule; if they have seats available they will not allow you to sit in them unless you have a reservation“

“Awesome food and service. Never been disappointed.“

“The vibe was definitely off last night! No art on the walls, very slow service and it seemed more like a launch than a well established restaurant. We love this place and bring everyone that comes to town! Looking forward to try it again soon, and hopefully it will have a better service experience. Food was amazing as always!“

“Great food and drinks, relaxed atmosphere“

“Everything is wonderful but my husband’s favorite is the bread pudding., it’s an amazing spot and so quaint we love the vibe and the food..“

“We went last night for my husband’s birthday. While the food was outstanding per usual, the service was deplorable. We waited 40 minutes before our order was taken and just sat with waters. Bread came after appetizers. Kids were completely done with their meals before adults received ours. Difficult experience with two small children. When we first got there, only three other tables had people at them so it wasn’t busy. Definitely expected better service.“

“amazing! Great food and even better service!!“

“Great place to have food or a quick drink.“

“As usual, the food was fantastic, certainly the best Asian food within 100 miles of Holly Springs/Raliegh Area. My new favorite is Basil fried rice. Will still order the Pad See Ewe as well. I don't like much spicy heat on my food and they are very accommodating to please. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“Such a great experience and value! The burgers were very good with excellent toppings, but the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I could not appreciate the distinct wagyu texture and flavor. It was not as juicy and rich as most wagyu burgers I've had but the blue cheese/black truffle combo was still excellent. Cocktails were stellar and service outstanding.“

“$9.99 burger special on Fridays is a great deal! You get a double smashburger, fries, and a draft beer or frozen. Burger was good, fries were well seasoned, and they have a nice selection of drafts. We sat inside because of the heat but the outdoor space is lovely. They have a decent sized parking lot next to the building and there was plenty of parking available around 5-6pm.“

“Originally had the intention of going to another restaurant but booked the wrong date for our reservation; turned out being an incredible mistake which resulted in us dining at Flemings! Had a wonderful experience from the start with the hostesses being very welcoming and explaining their menu to us. We didn’t make reservations but I can’t say it always is this easy to get a table. Our server Richard (name on receipt) was amazing, he was timely, kind, and accurately took down our orders. The On Cloud 9 beverage tasted great and had quite a kick without tasting like alcohol. The crab cakes were a delicious appetizer. The steamed ginger Seabass tasted exquisite and had such complimenting flavors. My partner really enjoyed his filet and lobster entree. The macaroni and cheese had a very homemade baked feel to it (interpret it as you may) but I still found it to be very good. They have a menu of desserts and delicious after-meal drinks to choose from which I loved my latte. Would definitely recommend dining here especially if you are looking for a nice date-night dinner.“

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

“The Slowpokes on Stella Link is really great. Good variety of coffee that changes with the seasons, lots of tasty snacks, and a good space for both studying and socializing. I’ve been going for about 2 years now; the severs/ baristas are always friendly (especially Jake and Glory) and make sure I’m comfortable.“
