This place was so nice--the atmosphere was calm and sophisticated at the same time. The wine selections were plentiful, and the sommelier was very helpful while we perused the wine selection. The staff made excellent recommendations that paired perfectly with our meal, and the service was attentive without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a wonderful experience--perfect for a date night or a relaxing evening with friends. I'll definitely be coming back!
Trendy wine bar with a massive selection of wine spanning wall to wall. They serve some food items as well and on certain days they'll have specials (ie dollar oysters on wednesdays, lobster roll Fridays during the summer). This is a unique place and wonderful gathering spot for friend groups and young people. Lots of outdoor seating. Air conditioning inside. Good service
Amazing!!! Great diversity of wine selection and craft beer! Don't get me started on the bread with the little black salt, yumyyyyy. Perfect place for a little solo date, date, and after a long run. After a few mile run we always say there's a cold glass of wine at the end of the line. 10/10 recommend! Parking can be tricky at times if it's super busy but that's st.marys as a whole.
we went for the $1 oysters (which were tasty) however, the drinks were $10+ each. which at most places i would've been ok with HOWEVER, the staff was SO RUDE. they made me feel so dumb for asking where to pick up my food was, gave me a dirty look when i asked if they have cocktail sauce, and just overall made the experience very unpleasant and uncomfortable. we will unfortunately not be back :/
Amazing and eclectic wine bar!! This is one of our favorite places to relax, especially for a "Sunday Funday"! There is indoor and outdoor seating, a great selection of wines that are predominantly European. If you are a fan of US wines, they have a couple as well. The decor is unique, especially the facade which is alone worth the visit. Wines are reasonably priced they have a nice selection of light bites, including cheese, very fresh warm sourdough bread and olives just to name a couple of our "go to's". On select days, the airstream trailer parked outside serves up oysters and other seafood varieties. It is a perfect place to hang with friends, especially outside during the fall months.
From the outside, I would never have guessed this to be a wine place. It's a small building covered in graffiti art and has the vibe of hipster/grunge. But inside, you'll see floor to ceiling shelves of wines sold by the bottle. You can also purchase just a glass to try, if you prefer. In addition to wine, they have a modest menu of food items including things like sourdough bread and a cheese plate. It's perfect pairing for the wine. Service is friendly but subdued, as is the entire ambience. You order at the counter and grab a seat-either indoor or out, and your food is brought to you. I visited in the early afternoon on a Sunday and it was pretty quiet. Maybe later in the night on a weekend, it might get hopping in there.
As a wine enthusiast, I've been wanting to check this place out for a while. I've been following their events on Instagram and greatly enjoyed their Beaujolais coverage, with my favorite post being one where the owner's shirt had 'left the chat' prompting a top comment that still makes me laugh: "Well, that escalated quickly." I asked the friendly staff what they would like people to know about this wine bar and they said that they want to introduce more people to great wine in a fun, non intimidating way. The knowledgeable staff definitely contribute to that mission offering detailed descriptions of the wines, delivered in a way that shows they really understand the wine and have enjoyed it themselves. You'll go inside to order from the menu on the wall where you can order food as well. They have a refrigerator with cold wine for purchase plus many other carefully curated wines lining the walls. We enjoyed the Suire Samir Blanc white wine during our visit, it was perfectly chilled, crisp and delicious. We're excited to come back to try some of their food and explore new wines. Give them a follow and a visit if you want to enjoy great wine in an intimate, well air-conditioned setting inside. If sitting outside you'll be surrounded by stunning provocative murals that playfully reflect the wine bar's name. Check out the team bios on their website, thank me later.
Cute little wine place! The interior is small but they sure make up for it with a great selection of wine. I stopped by really quick and asked for some recommendations which the counter person was happy to help with. I tried a local rose which was wonderful and was exactly what I was looking for. I also purchased a french white which I haven't tried yet but I can't wait. Will definitely return. Perhaps I will sample some wines by the glass and enjoy some of their charcuterie. There's parking out front but it's small so come early. Check on Instagram for events they have during the week.
This was a chill and cool space with knowledgeable and helpful staff. I wanted to try Texas wine so we tried a bottle from Lightsome 2023 field blend, which was balanced, easy to drink, lighter in texture, and nice soft acidity. Overall I loved the space and would come more if still lived near.
My favorite wine bar in town! A nice little hidden gem. Pretty hipster and cute. Inside is very intimate and cozy with a couple tables. There's more seating outside! Just an overall fabulous vibe. The staff is very knowledgeable, but not snobby. The selection is incredible! I've tried so many wines I've never seen anywhere else and have LOVED them. Such a special place and an ideal environment to catch up with a friend over a bottle of wine! They sell select wines by the glass and sell certain snacks like bread, cheese, etc. and have Oyster truck on Wednesdays I believe (sounds sketchy, but they're great too! lol) If you haven't tried this place already, this is your sign. Cheers!
Very intimate and relaxed space for a good glass of wine. They had a huge selection of bottles for purchase both in and out of the fridge. We got 2 glasses of white, one was a reisling and the other a bubbly that I cannot remember the name of unfortunately lol -- the service was quick. We sat outside with a few other couples because there weren't any seats inside, which was fine. Overall had a nice glass while the music from the bars kept the vibe nightly.
It's perfect for an intimate and relaxed evening. Generous pours and knowledgeable staff. I love the water being fully available for patrons in the cutest bottles and glass wear. Gives off rustic yet artful and cozy. A great find for a chill evening. I did not try the food but the wine was great.
I not a natural wine expert by any means the wine we had here were hit or miss. We wanted to try this place to get more acquainted with natural wine. I wish there were an option to do flights or tasting to help people like me discover the smaller world or natural wines. It important to note not all their wines are natural so do ask to clarify if that's what you're interested in. The do allow outside food which a lot of people were taking advantage of.
This place takes all the pretentiousness out of a wine bar, but still delivers on quality and variety of wines. The staff is super welcoming and helpful. They were happy to give advice. You can order by the glass or grab one of many bottles out of their cooler. They have lots of natural wines and you can stay in your comfort zone or jump way out. They also have good little snacks so you aren't eating on an empty stomach. There's nothing fancy about the seating area - just grab a seat wherever and hang out. Definitely want to go back next time I am in SA! read more

We popped in before a show at Paper Tiger. The place was bustling with people inside and outside, but we managed to snag indoor seating. I was happy to see there were NA options for me. I picked one and was offered a glass with ice. I felt like I was part of the party. On this particular night, the play list was my 7th grade dream. It was so much fun. Definitely noted for future shows across the street. I prefer to pregame here away from the smoking scene. read more

Unique spot, get there early if you want a spot indoors for oysters. Bougie crowd, Oysters are cheap but all other snacks are pricy so go for a snack and grab dinner elsewhere. Think it's $7 for some bread.... read more

We stopped in for wine after a nice brunch. Random selection. Nothing special. They have an entire wall of French wines but my personal inventory is better. Chad is written on numerous bottles but according to another frequent shopper those bottles aren't N option without permission. Tons of smaller wineries. Nothing bad about that. I was put off by their politics. I'm not an Abbott fan AT ALL but seeing "fuck Greg Abbot" on the wall and "periodpalooza" was to "in my face". The service was basic. No dialogue at all. I'd never go back. World Market or Whole Foods has a lot of their wines. read more

Finally got to check this place off my list! Such a cute, little wine bar. Soooo many interesting wines to choose from. The staff is friendly and so knowledgeable. We got some excellent recommendations on wine and snack pairings and had the best time chatting in this charming little spot. 10/10 recommended! I can't wait to come back. read more
I visited for an event. The event didn't go as smoothly, but it wasn't Little Death's fault. This place is great. It offers a good variety of wines that you can with buy by the bottle or glass. You can ask for recommendations if you don't know what you should get or if you just want to try something new. Prices are reasonable. For those that don't drink wine, they also offer a few beers. They also have a small selection of food. I had the one cheese plate. The bread was warm and toasty. They have a limited amount of inside seating and some outside seating. I did see people bring their own chairs. I even saw someone bring a small table. Parking is limited, but they do have some spots right up front read more
Pros: Super cute place. Totally enjoyed the pop-up night they had featuring tasty Italian pasta with delish bread and dessert. Enjoyed the ambiance and one friendly staff member that interacted with us first-timer patrons (thank you Maria!) Cons: Well, a couple, sadly. Let's start with parking... there is none. So be prepared to dwell on whether or not you'll get towed from wherever you managed to park (we did not, thankfully). Second was the drinks. Not that they weren't good... they were! I had a delightful sparkling rosé and my partner had a delish local beer (canned). The problem was the price. What we were charged was different than what was advertised. Since they couldn't provide me a receipt (pre-payment) I foolishly paid whatever I was charged. I felt kinda swindled, but... maybe some people think $10/can of local beer is OK? Maybe I'm outdated? Anyway, still waiting on that "emailed" receipt... perhaps I'm just too antiquated for the new St. Mary's strip. read more
I've wanted to try this place since it popped up on insta ads a few weeks ago. 1. Wednesday's are $1 oyster night so if you are anything like me and love all things seafood I would highly recommend 2. Wine by the glass is $5-$11 and they are great about curating to what you are eating. We had a white wine with the oysters and it was simply perfect Overall it was about $25 and a cute little drinks date or you could have a couple rounds to really enjoy yourself! read more

First time here and my husband and I are super happy we tried somewhere new and found this gem. Super unique, cute wine bar close to downtown. I definitely plan on coming here again. read more
Funky vibes, vibrant colors, unconventional wines, vinyl and Cava, a French rosé from Côtes de Provence at a reasonable price, which pairs well with this Texas summer heat, the retro style of '40s pin-up posters on local beer all of this can be found in one little place. Little Death is that proverbial perfect bite. Go for the Austin-esque ambiance; stay for the array of libations, delicious tapa-style menu, and layered sounds of music. The only hiccup came at the end our jaunt, when I was overcharged. When I called, they immediately addressed the issue, they were apologetic, and my card was reimbursed in a couple of days. That's what you want. Human error happens. The only reason for the 4 stars is because of the limited parking. MUSTs: Seasoned almonds Ash salt & butter Sardines Fromage Castelvetrano olives Cava French rosé. read more

Love the ambiance here. Delicious wine, super helpful staff. My friends and I didn't know what we liked, so they gave us samples! They do not do flights here so we were thankful for the samples! Side note- if you're into sweet or moscato type wines, this is not your place to drink - just to vibe with friends ! The only sweet wine is a dry semi sweet white but I can't remember the name or type. read more
First time to Little Death and I had such a good time. Came on a Wednesday when the food truck has dollar oysters, got a couple dozen and some drinks from inside. Sat around eating with some friends having a great time. Great spot with indoor and outdoor seatings. read more
Little Death is such a cute, fanciful establishment for tasteful curated wines and appetizers. You can come and enjoy a glass or choose a bottle. I love their Wednesdays $1 oyster nights! Super fresh with lemon and a drop of Tabasco, paired with Brie cheese plate. The music is a bit loud and hard to hear who I'm talking too even though the ambience calls for great conversations. read more

Great ambiance inside and out! Super sweet staff willing to help you decide on your picks wither your buying by the glass or bottle! They offer small bites, cheese plate,jams etc. read more
I went to Little Death with a friend and she had wine I had a beer and Bruschetta. The place itself is sooo cute, we sat outside, it's right off the st mary's strip and if the weather is good the outdoor seating is perfect. They also have indoor seating, it's small but it's nice. The bruschetta was good, it tasted very fresh. We ordered the food at the counter and it was brought to us quickly - good service. I will def be coming back for a wine night read more
This place is SO cool. My trip to SA had a lot of culinary disappointments, and this was one of the bright spots of my trip. I had yelped a bunch of places before my visit, and had bookmarked it as a place to stop while checking out the murals. San Antonio has a street art initiative and maps all the murals. The Little Death is smack in the middle of that map. It is an absolutely lovely place to stop and cool down with a glass of wine while you are pulling over and illegally parking to snap pictures of walls. I gave up sodas years ago but greatly miss carbonation. As a result, I have spent the pandemic touring the sparking wine section at total wine. I stopped here, and they had a lovely, ice cold cava available for $6. I got a heavy pour by a friendly, beautiful woman and had a seat at a communal table. And to top it all off, they have purse hooks! It sounds like a stupid little thing, not not having to toss your handbag either on the table or floor, is a special treat that women greatly appreciate. It is the little things that set you apart. Not that this place needed it. It looks like an old service station, they have glass bottles available with water, have a nice outdoor area, and are dog friendly. They also had a great selection of snacks which I wish I would have taken advantage of. There is construction in the area and parking can be an issue, but it is worth the effort! I liked the area, the people, and my cold glass of wine. I will definitely stop here again when in the area. read more
