"Second Bar + Kitchen remains an Austin institution because it knows how to offer something for everyone. With wine, this means several things. For the casual diner, there’s $8 wine on tap from Spain and New York’s Finger Lakes. For the expense account set, there’s rare Syrahs from Bedrock champagne. For wine nerds, there’s crunchy Alheit Cinsault from South Africa. And for everyone else, there is reasonably priced bubbles to pair with burgers or steak frites. Bottle selections here change frequently, so keep an eye out for the unknown. Most by the glass wines are $15 or less, and a daily happy hour from 4-6pm takes $2 off wine by the glass." - Tom Thornton
