    Ambiance

    The wine bar in East Austin that feels like stepping into another world. If you're looking for a place that's not just about wine but also has a vibe that sweeps you off your feet, RSRV is the spot! The aesthetics here are just stunning--think cozy, chic, and a little magical. Every corner is Instagram-worthy The cheese board had some lovely accompaniments like fresh fruit and nuts that really elevate the whole experience. If you're in the mood for a chill evening with great wine and an amazing cheese board, you've got to check out RSRV. You'll leave with a smile, guaranteed!

    Food: there is none. So don't show up here hungry lol. This is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Apparently there is a food truck outside usually but he wasn't there because of the cold. I thought there was a decent selection of wine, of course my one visit can't determine that completely but I enjoyed what I had, and I tasted a few too. Service: no complaints here, good service. There was only one lady behind the bar and one of the owners was present both were kind. Ambiance: This place makes up for the no food with the ambiance. This space is such a treat. After work, to meet friends, a business meet up, blind date, or whatever the occasion this place will fit and feel good. There's music playing in the background I just had all the feels this gem passed the vibe check for certain! Make the time to sip wine, be fine, and spend that dime!

    My best friend and I were looking for a place to relax and enjoy some daytime wine tasting when we stumbled upon RSRV, and I am so glad we did! As soon as we walked in, we were amazed by the beautiful ambiance and decor of the space. We were immediately welcomed and seated by their host, who presented us with an array of wines. After we explained what we were in the mood for, she suggested the Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, which I now highly recommend. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that they offered a mobile charcuterie board, which we couldn't pass up. The entire experience, from the inviting atmosphere to the great mix of music, makes this wine bar now one of my favorites in Austin!

    The RSRV is a fantastic wine bar if you're looking for a low key spot to chill with friends and incredible wine. I came on a Friday evening with a few friends and was able to catch the tail end of happy hour. Happy hour is $12 glasses and half off a $100 bottle minus the bangers. We shared a red Bourgogne to start. It was very light and yummy! I also loved how they served wine with a burgundy glass. Next we had a Bordeaux. WOW this one opened up nicely with a decanter. Background music is a mix of oldies and goodies. The servers are also very helpful if you can't decide. Highly recommend for a drink before or after dinner!

    This is such a cute and classy little wine bar. Great R&B music. Let's start with the good. I love the decor and huge outdoor space, the inside area is very cozy and small so be mindful of that. It is Black and brown owned which is awesome!! I ordered a cheese plate, glass of wine and the brought a bottle of wine. It was happy hour until 7pm and I came on a Thursday, so most glasses of wine were $12 per glass, wine bottles under $100 are 50% off another great steal! My complaint is I do not think I was provided the happy hour discount. Which really disturbed my night. As my total was over $100 so I'm thinking the cheese plate was at least $50 (which would not make sense) or I was overcharged. That really ruined my night. I only realized this once in my Uber home. The wine was fabulous and staff were knowledgeable, but did not check on us enough for my liking. There was only one girl working so I can't fault her too much. The cheese plate is pre packaged and NOT on the official menu. There's like 3 pieces of salami and 3 cheeses, I think the presentation could be so much better and the price should be noted or at least explained when ordered. I would give this spot another chance and I hope there's more attention to detail and better customer service.

    Bartender Dani was so sweet. Music was great along with the vibe of the whole place. Had 2 glasses of wine both were yummy

    So stylish and inviting atmosphere--the decor is modern yet cozy, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The wine selection is fantastic, with a great variety to suit any taste. Whether you're looking for a bold red or a crisp white, there's something special to enjoy. Highly recommend for a relaxed yet refined experience!

    this place is super cute + perfect for grabbing drinks with friends or a significant other. I visited for an event and while the inside was not large enough for all of the attendees, there was ample space on their patio/courtyard areas. I ordered a glass of Prosecco and a Blood Orange Margarita (listed at $18 + $17 on the event menu) but when I got my apple pay notification, my total was $25 for each! very pricey for prosecco, especially when the brand/fermenter is not listed. overall, very nice, picturesque spot. I will visit again but at night for a more sultry vibe.

    Updates before and after visit in original review below! TLDR: super cute place, excellent vibes, a bit pricey. Parking could also be limited when busy. Would be great for dates/happy hours/nights out!

    I attended a Sip & Spritz event here a few weeks ago. I absolutely loved the classy vibe and decor. I appreciate the attention to detail and the curated wine list. I started off with a spritz and then moved on to wine. There is a food truck in the back of the building that offers grazing boards, salads and a few other options. I wish there was a QR menu for the food truck inside, that way you only have to make one trip to pick up. It was still a soft opening that day so it might have changed by now. The staff was polite and went above and beyond to make sure they left a good impression. I am looking forward going back.

It's very…read morecute you book it with time and they do like a whole little set up placement for you and your friends so you can try all the types of wines that they have and they give you small little charcuterie boards. It's very nice because the person that you get is very knowledged on the wines and let you know the flavors and the notes and what it's good to be paired with and what it's made with and everything like that. I definitely love their rosé and their Pinot Grigio. This is a perfect girls night. At the end they let you have a glass of your favorite wine and also purchase a box of it with a nice discount.

Each BOXT equals 4 bottles and is compostable. I've tried all the flavors, and #1 is my favorite. It's very light and completely refreshing.  A truly delightful white wine. I'm a hard-core red drinker and BOXT has sold me on A WHITE! Today it was hand-delivered to my home. I received a text the day before with a very specific time (12:43) when my wine would be delivered, +/- 30 minutes.  Crazy! Not 12:45; not 12:40. The driver texted me he was on his way and then I was sent a tracking link. They have deliveries down tight. The delivery driver was friendly and told me about my wine when he handed it over. When I mentioned I can't recall which red I like, he tried to help me figure it out. Talk about service! Also, when asked, told me he really loved his job. I have no doubt! I am sold on this fabulous, Austin-based, woman-owned business.  Please support BOXT!

You have to walk next door to get food. The mimosas were the only thing that qualified as brunch at the "Drag Brunch" but I wasn't too upset about the misnomer.

Loved that they brought up several people from the audience to the stage to compete for a small prize. Many of the participants were brides at their bachelorette party celebrations. #love The ticket included one drink but not brunch food. I got there a bit earlier to grab us some good seats. Biggest issues were they started later than we thought so one of the people in our group had to leave before it was over, there was an epic food truck incident (this was supposed to be a Brunch event) with food running an hour late did not really have brunchy items, and they didn't clearly label on their menu that the cocktails were wine based vs. the traditional alcohol of tequila, gin, etc. The cocktails were fine but if I'd known/recalled/seen a disclaimer I would have been a bit more wary as I have reactions to certain wines and sugars. Thankfully, I had no major reaction but my digestion was a bit off for a bit.

All the wines are made from 100% Texas grown grapes by a Texas native, Randy Hester (from Houston maybe?), who started as an intern at Cakebread Cellars in Napa. You can order by the glass or opt for a tasting. They do a great job catering to your palette and will customize the tasting most of the time. If you're driving to Fredericksburg or Georgetown for your wine membership pick ups, I highly recommend going in for a tasting here. I'd be surprised if you didn't decide to switch. They also have great member events pretty regularly. The atmosphere inside is very relaxed. It's like a little cool oasis (especially during the summer). Really, besides the wine, which speaks for itself, the staff make this place. They're knowledgeable and they all are pretty passionate about the wine. Parking is easy most days and the Yard offers some options for food that you can have brought in to you (or you can grab and bring in) or order a cheese board with your wine. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!

    All Texas grapes, all vegan wine. Sounds like meh Fredericksburg, right?…read more Wrong! Butaud's winemakers bring something more to the game. I have yet to be disappointed in a vintage. Their unassuming location is in The Yard off St Elmo, across from Vacancy Brewery. They managed to turn a warehouse space into an intimate and polished tasting room. Go grab a flight and let the staff tell you the history of each pour. Maybe grab a cheese board next door from Muy Yum! while you're there.

I felt the vibe instantly, like as soon as I put one foot in the door. Magical, sophisticated, worldly, wonderful and more were the feelings that spontaneously hit me. The dark and elegant decor, lighting, design, & layout made me feel as though I were in a high-end Tokyo cocktail lounge. The front room as I mentioned is an intimate bar and lounge area with artwork adorning the walls. It's a modern, minimalist, and sleek space. The artwork is ever-changing (every couple of months or so) and the cocktail menu changes right long with it. Note: artwork is available for purchase. What an absolutely glorious way of combining different mediums (liquid art vs physical art). The craft cocktails & mocktails are the epitome of works of art. I've had great cocktails and mocktails elsewhere but honestly I'd be hard pressed to find anything on this level. You're taken into an entirely different realm just watching the genius of mixologists. It's mesmerizing watching them hone their craft. In the back of the lounge is an enclave of eclectic art and other pieces that then leads you to Konbini, the sushi bar. It's an industrial, warehouse vibe with a long counter that screams hip, Tokyo inspired, late-night eatery. Service is impeccable and welcoming at this cosmopolitan venue. It's truly an amazing experience.

On my recent visit, I tried the balkan negroni and WOW - so good. And so detailed! Really sweet people and a very cool space. Great music too and just a perfect ambiance. 10/10.
