The Meteor

"The Meteor on South Congress is a one-stop shop if you’re on your way to a pizza-and-wine cyclist meetup at a park. The equal parts cafe, wine bar, and pizzeria (which also doubles as a bike shop), is a great casual spot to pop in for a glass and some tinned fish, even if you’re not here for an oddly-specific event. The focus here is on natural wines that won’t break the bank, with plenty of bottles falling in the $25-$35 range. If you’d rather hang out in your living room with your cat and enjoy some wine in peace (why are you still reading this guide?), they also have a wine subscription service." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"Anyone looking to grab a bottle of wine, a slice of pizza, and/or bike gear will find a home at the Meteor, which is an extremely casual counter-service cafe, bottle shop, and bike shop. It offers coffee, pizza, breakfast sandwiches, and grain bowls. Order online to skip the line, though bike chains aren’t available to go." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury

"The Bouldin Creek Cafe’s happy hour includes $5 giant pizza slices, $2 off beers and wine glasses, and $6 of house wine glasses. It runs from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Darcie Duttweiler

"Equal parts cafe, wine bar, pizzeria, and bicycle shop, The Meteor is a great casual spot to pop in for a glass of wine and some light bites. It’s located just far enough away from the busy part of South Congress to make it a welcome escape from all the action, or as a bookend on either part of a long day trying on new sunglasses and boots. The specialty here is round, sourdough pizzas that are good for satisfying the inevitable post-shopping craving for carbs and cheese, but there are  also pastries, sandwiches, and salads. It’s one of our favorite places in town for drinking wine—and it only gets better during Happy Hour with half price glasses of wine (and cheeseburgers)." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
