3 Best Bars in Greater Houston, Houston and Galveston

Sophisticated wines meet an environment of polished industrial decay at a wine bar and retail shop set in a former dry cleaners. This is the only wine bar in town that keeps its vino in a temperature-controlled cellar, set at, you guessed it, 13 Celsius.

A sister of the legendary Austin original (which has been open since the 1950s), this Houston branch brings more loud, live music to an even bigger dance floor.

At this lounge-bar, chill out to the music of a rotating group of DJs or hang out on the large outdoor patio with The Flat's regular group of low-key hipsters.
