Plant shop and wine bar with curated selections and relaxed vibes
"Part plant shop and part wine bar, Flourish wants you to relax a little. It’s in a small building next toRocco’son Airport Boulevard, making this an especially convenient way to wait out the inevitable dinner line next door. Wines are available by the bottle or glass, and there’s a small menu of snacky things, like tinned fish, cured meats, and chips." - Nicolai McCrary
"Opening on Friday, October 24 at 5003 Airport Boulevard, this hybrid wine bar and plant shop brings a leafy retail space and an “approachable, joyful, and unpretentious” wine program to North Loop. Founded by longtime friends Rachel Roberts and Dale Ellington—she a lifelong Austinite who grew Flourish from a small North Loop plant shop and drew on time at Fonda San Miguel and Tacodeli; he with 13 years of wine expertise including The Library Wine Bar in Houston—the spot pours wines by the glass and bottle from classic regions like France, Italy, and Spain, alongside picks from South Africa, Texas, and women-led wineries. Light bites are built to pair seamlessly with the pours: shareable meat and cheese boards, preserved seafood, and snacks like Castelvetrano olives, Marcona almonds, and housemade potato chips. Opening day runs 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. with a ribbon cutting, a local artists pop-up, happy hour, and an evening party, after which regular hours are Sunday–Thursday 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. There’s also a “Cool Kids Membership” with members-only happy hours, discounts on plants and wine, and seasonal events, all in service of what Ellington calls “a place that felt like an exhale,” where “people could be surrounded by natural beauty, drink incredible wines, and actually relax — a plant and wine spa, if you will.”" - H.
