The 11 Best Wine Bars In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"In a past life, this East Downtown building was a dingy punk squat and venue covered in graffiti where our staff may or may not have drank red wine underage. Now, it’s a posh, self-serve wine bar and bistro playing Kaytranada remixes, which is great for drinking in a big group or avoiding the conversation altogether. When you arrive, someone will open a tab and give you a key card. Pop the card into one of the slots on the wine wall, grab a glass, and select a one-, three-, or six-ounce pour of wine from whatever bottle you want. There are description cards, too. So you technically never have to speak to anyone if that's your speed." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
