"HOUSTON La Carafe, a cash-only wine bar in Houston, has all the things that would suggest, “Hey, this place is really haunted!” We’re talking about candles burning on top of giant pillars of drippy wax, old paintings of weird people, and a closed-off staircase that leads to somewhere mysterious. Much like the lives of the presumed specters lurking around, the beverage list is also tragically cut short. Come here to see a ghost, or to wantonly stare at your own reflection in the back bar.
