Birdies Restaurant & Wine Bar

$$$ // East Austin // 2944 East 12th Street, Unit A

A new player in the Austin wine bar game! Birdies just opened up in 2022 in East Austin and is featured already as a 10/10 Austin restaurant. They’ve got an extensive wine list with tons of great options, and a few more affordable bottles in the $40 range. Plus, they have a fabulous restaurant menu if you’re looking to pick up food! We love their outdoor patio, personally, but their interior is adorable as well. And there are no reservations, so it’s entirely first come first serve!

LoLos Natural Wine Bar

$$ // East Austin // 1504 East 6th Street

I love the trend of Natural Wine Bars popping up in Austin! And Lolo was quickly one of our favorites. Located right in the heart of the action on East Sixth street, Lolo features Natural Wines in their extensive menu and they’re absolutely delicious. Plus, they’re easy to enjoy of their outdoor patio too! Highly recommend popping in and enjoying some wine.

Bonus props because Lolos truly impressed me with a VERY knowledgeable staff! We gave the general idea of what we wanted to try, and they brought out some options that fit and let us give them a taste. Absolutely adored!

Rosie’s Wine Bar

$$$ // 1130 West Sixth Street, Austin, Texas, 78704

The newest wine bar on this list, because Rosie’s showed up Fall 2022 and immediately was a hit! Not shocking considering it’s part of the MML group, and their restaurants are often pretty much a win in the Austin food and wine scene.

I’ll say this: I was not a huge fan of Rosie’s. I thought the wine selection was fine at best, the prices were HIGH ($16+ per glass), and the space itself was so tiny. Patio seating was a 2 hour wait on a weekday, and the inside was pretty crowded. However, we love a good pour! And the reality is, a lot of my friends really enjoy this spot so it will get put on this list because I trust my friends opinions.

Aviary Wine + Kitchen

$$ // South Lamar // 2110 South Lamar

If you want something Instagram-Worthy then Aviary is your spot! Less than a year old, this spot is already making headlines. From their wide selection and their collaborative atmosphere, this is the perfect spot to grab wine with friends! They also offer various desserts to pair with the wines, which I am an absolute sucker for.

Aviary also features a wine school every Sunday of the month! Plus, they have half-priced bottles of wine on Wednesdays from 6pm-11pm!

HAPPY HOUR
Tuesday-Friday from 4-6pm PLUS Saturday from 4-5:30pm with 1/2 off ALL bottles of wine (only offered on Saturdays), $10 wagyu smashburgers, 1/2 off Aviary cheese & charcuterie, & 1/2 off glasses of wine


Wanderlust Wine Company

$$$ // East Austin // Springdale + 7th

Wanderlust, located in Downtown Austin and in East Austin, is a great wine bar offering wines on tap! The space is gorgeous and absolutely huge, so it’s perfect for groups of friends. Plus they have SO MANY wines on tap so there’s pretty much something for everyone! My one qualm is that the wine-on-tap situation is WAY OVERPRICED when not on happy hour. So I do not recommend without happy hour.

Happy Hour
50% Off Wines On Tap in East Austin – 12-11 PM Thursdays

House Wine

$$ // South Lamar // 408 Josephine St.

A small little house off South Lamar that turned into a wine bar, it is absolutely one of the cutest wine bars in Austin. Check them out for their extensive selection, delicious cheese plate options, live music, and intimate setting. Perfect for a date night in Austin, too!

HAPPY HOUR
Daily 3pm-6pm with $2 off glasses and $6 off bottles


The Best Date Night Outfits:


June’s All Day Cafe

$$ // South Congress // 1722 S. Congress Ave

Absolutely love this cozy and cute wine bar! Probably one of the cutest spots on this list, and absolutely a spot I take my friends from out of town. They also serve food (brunch) all day which is all the better. I would recommend this if you want food with your meal or a place to take pics in your adorable new dress!

HAPPY HOUR
Weekdays 4 – 5pm with 25% off wine bottles, and on Mondays its 50% off


Olive & June

$$$ // North Austin // 3411 Glenview Ave.

If you want a romantic date night wine spot, this is it. While it technically is not an Austin wine bar, more of an Italian restaurant, their wine selection is top-notch. Dinner and drinks are a must here. Keep in mind, it also has a higher price point than others on this list!

HAPPY HOUR
Tuesday to Friday until 6pm with 50% Off Beer and Cocktails


APT 115

$$ // East Austin // 2025 E. 7th St.

A brand new gem of the Austin Wine Bars scene, and yet already a must! The space itself is cozy & intimate with only 25 seats total, designed to look like a home. The selection is perfectly curated with wines, beers, and delicious pairings for you to enjoy! Good news too, it doesn’t break the bank!

HAPPY HOUR
They do not currently have a traditional happy hour!


Opa! Coffee + Wine Bar

$$ // South Lamar Bouldin Creek // 2050 South Lamar Blvd.

A unique family-owned and operated wine bar in Austin! Authentic Greek cuisine and atmosphere, featuring live music as well. If you are looking for a more upbeat and fun wine bar in Austin, then this is the place to be!

HAPPY HOUR
This is also ideal on a Sunday for their all-day Sunday Funday with half-priced bottles.



The Grove

$$ // Downtown // 800 W. 6th St.

One of my favorites because it’s so dang cute! Also, options galore. Between the 10 different wine flights, 50 wines by the glass, and over 200 bottles you are sure to suffer from too many options. Enjoy their beautiful patio or sleek interior with your girls in one of the prettiest Austin wine bars!

HAPPY HOUR
From 4pm – 6pm on Weekdays and 10:30am – 6pm on Weekends they have $2 off drinks!
