I was hoping for a more personalized experience and maybe some guidance from a knowledgeable staff member on choosing a good bottle. I came in during the middle of a workday and was the only customer in the store, yet the man behind the counter didn't speak to me or offer any assistance the entire time I was there. I was also disappointed to later discover that the bottle I purchased was very heavily marked up. The same wine was available at H-E-B for significantly less. I understand that a specialty wine shop may charge a premium, and I'm happy to pay a little more when that comes with knowledgeable recommendations and personalized service. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here, so I won't be returning.

Great selection of spirits and wines, plus they have ice and ice cups for convenience.read more

Colton behind the bar made the experience, he's extremely knowledgeable and fun to talk to; walking us through a thoughtful tasting of wines we'd never even heard of and helping us purchase a bottle from Mexico we never would've picked without his guidance. I can't recommend enough for wine enthusiasts or anyone looking for a laid-back date night, thanks for a great time!

Post Beer & Wine is one of those neighborhood spots that instantly makes a bar crawl better. We…read morestopped in during a crawl and ended up lingering longer than planned, which feels like the best compliment you can give a place. We enjoyed a glass or two of wine, tossed some darts, and soaked in the relaxed, unpretentious vibe. It is casual in the right way. Easy to talk, easy to stay, and not trying too hard to be anything other than a solid local bar. The real highlight, though, is Posty the bar cat. An adorable black and white cat who clearly runs the place. Getting to know Posty outside was an unexpected and genuinely charming moment that made the stop memorable. If you are a cat person, this alone will win you over. Even if you are not, it is hard not to smile. Great drinks, darts, friendly energy, and a bar cat that steals the show. Post Beer & Wine is exactly the kind of place you hope to find when hopping around Houston, and absolutely worth a stop even if you are not on a crawl.

Let me first send a shout out to the man who was unfortunate enough to have to be my "drink…read morerunner." I ran that little man to death. Felt like I should have gave him a tip or something but there wasn't a tip line on the credit card receipt. Now I've heard and been to the DMV's version of a "drive-through" liquor store but they had the feel of a fast food place where you drive up outside. Beverage Barn you literally drive into and surrounding you on BOTH sides are all kinds of liquor and beers IN ALL SIZES! I felt like I was on "Supermarket Sweep" as I was slow rolling through the Barn. The prices are standard as well-even though one would think they'd upcharge a tiny bit to accommodate for the beverage runners but my purchase was pleasingly priced!

So freakin' convenient. God bless these folks. You drive your truck in, the load you up, and you…read morepay them. Nice folks too. Prices ok, but you pay a little more for convenience. Beer selection is ok. Good selection of hard liquor. This is the place to go if you're in a hurry to get to a party or event or just had a rough day.

How have I never reviewed Saint Arnold Brewing Company?!…read more It's the longest running craft brewery in Texas, having won countless national awards. Though I don't drink beer anymore, I love that they do have a line of ciders and sparkling water at the brewery; and they have a few wine options. Most recently, I had their pizza margherita (made with cauliflower pizza crust, per my request). It was surprisingly very good! I wasn't expecting much, but it was crispy and had zesty pesto sauce that made it even better. If you don't want to order from their kitchen, they do have food trucks and other artisan vendors, entertainment. Do a tour if you can. It's kid and dog-friendly. And it's a great spot to watch some sports on their big screen with views of the downtown Houston skyline. Also, love that SA supports so many non-profit events. High community involvement...

For $15 plus $5 for chicken, you'd expect it to be at least a decent sized salad and have salad stuff in there but you just get a few pieces of chicken and a green goo with just a few and I mean this literally, a few pieces of arugula? I guess I should have read the fine print which didn't mention lettuce but how can you call something a salad that doesn't have any kind of green leaves? I have been coming here a few times a year for various events but the place just doesn't seem to have any sort of a niche...yeah they have beer but I could get that down the street at any pub. They don't even bother putting ice in their water coolers anymore either.

Brewery #398 I have…read morebeen to Frost Town Brewing twice, the 1st time was for the World Baseball Classic, and the next time was in June for an Astros game. The space itself is very nice inside, the kind of brewery my girlfriend would like. It's bright, large windows, clean and lots of plants. They don't do flights on game days even if no one is in line and there are like 10 people in the brewery. The 1st time I came, this rule made sense but the second time they had damn near as many workers as customers. So, I have only tried 3 beers. A stout that I didn't care for and 2 IPA's that were pretty good. There is no food onsite and the 2 times that I was there, I didn't see a food truck either. They also offer free parking for the Astros games if you have a 15,00 tab so that alone is worth the visit.

The name John has a couple different meanings at this bar…read more 150+ years ago, it was the name of an Irish native who came to Houston and commissioned this building as a bakery. La Carafe has had several lives since then, and there are many people keeping this place running. But as fate would have it, it's still in the hands of another guy named John. My fiancé and I were in town for a concert and stopped at this local haunt to keep the vibes going. Struck up a conversation with John, longtime bartender of twenty years, who is just as interesting as the wine bar itself! One night at this place was just not enough. The dim lights, paintings, old brick walls, the jukebox. Everything was so cool! And we hope that it continues to remain that way. Heading back to Austin with my faith restored in humanity. Thanks for an unforgettable night, man.
