The Broadway Drag Brunch experience this past weekend was a lot of fun! Great message of unity and an awesome show. 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.
I never realized how large this location is or how much selection they have! The Holly Jolly event is a must-see/must-so during the hoiday season. It's like a literal playground for kids. Great outdoor patio area. Well-appointed wines in just about every style and flavor you can think of.
We loved our experience at Wanderlust. We attended the Drag Brunch and had a blast. Loved the broadway musical slant. I knew almost all the songs. There wasn't a bad seat in the house. It was super cold with the air conditioning so be prepared. The highlight was certainly the music. Staff were friendly.
We absolutely LOVED drag brunch at Wanderlust! We got the VIP package which included 2 drinks and a Jell-O shot each. It wasn't too busy so service was fast and the drinks were great. The show itself was a blast. Since I live in Chicago, I see drag shows all the time and take for granted how accepted it is as an art form. I loved that the performers took a moment to remind us that in most other places in Texas, they wouldn't be allowed to perform. Loved their empowering speeches and general strength to keep doing what they love. Also the food truck outside had limited options (only pork and beef) but the food was FIREEEE.
Had a fun time here for the Saturday 2000-2010 bingo!! Can't go wrong with the best songs of the century, bingo, and wine. The bingo host was also fun and energetic. Wine was about $2 per ounce and there is a large selection to choose from on tap. A few groups there also played bingo for their bachelorette/bachelor party. There was some curb street parking but I didn't see a parking lot.
First time going to Wanderlust and OH MY GOSH why have I not been here sooner?? What an incredible space for events or just to hang out. They have 2 areas: a smaller intimate bar area and then a much larger wine room. Came here for Tuesday night trivia (it was Y2KIKI themed: queer trivia from the 2000's). WHAT A GREAT TIME! Went with a group of my girl friends for an after work activity. The host was amazing, so many people dressed for the theme, and we had so much fun!! The story on the wines is that you get a card at the beginning, then you're allowed to go up to any wines on tap and pour your own (by selecting the amount and wine of choice). They also had wine frozen drinks and wine jello shots! Great time, great vibe, perfect for a group or just to go hang. Will be back (for Thursday karaoke, of course)
Wanderlust has a great vibe. It's pretty spacious! One area had a/c and the other section didn't which is were you actually serve yourself 1,2 or 3 oz pours. I was alittle confused starting out but got the hang of it quickly! We arrived during happy hour 3-6pm 30% off. The place had a nice crowd and at 4pm we started playing musical bingo. It was a good time with everyone singing along with the tunes! My son actually won a swag bag with a $5 gift card. I'd return during the week with Thursday karaoke and half off drinks. I will say the frozen drinks were very strong. I didn't find a wine I liked but will come back and taste my way thru other choices. Parking is off the street. Thanks for a good vibe!
it's always a fun time at wanderlust!! I absolutely LOVE it here. From their delicious wine, drinks, hello shots to their super fun events, you're guaranteed a good time. I have come to a variety of their events like their happy hours, the Yelp elite events, drag brunches and recently I got to experience their 2000s Musical Bingo! By far my FAVORITE event. I got to vibe with my besties and listen to some music! Their selection of wines is CRAZY!! so much to choose from but also don't sleep on their frozen cocktails! i had a mix of their watermelon and lime frozen rita, 5 too many hahaha!! The host for the 2000s bingo was so nice and his energy was amazing!!! The people ay wanderlust are so sweet and I love the vibes in here. can't wait to come to enjoy some more free events!
I was in town visiting friends and I'm so glad they live near Wanderlust, because it was a perfect way to spend my first night in Texas! I was glad they had been there before, so they were able to explain to me how you get a card and that's how you pay and scan for each glass (though I'm sure it would've been well explained by staff if all of us were there for the first time.) There were SO many options and I loved how you could switch the size of the pour each time. I probably had 2-3 glasses and tried to mix it up. The space was huge and kind of gave a warehouse vibe in the back. There was also a smaller area in the front with karaoke and a food truck outside in the back where there were also a few tables. We stayed for a few hours drinking, catching up, playing games, and signing karaoke. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a fun, slightly more laid back night out!
I have been to this location back when it was Infinite Monkey Winery. I was sad they closed due to the 'Rona. Anyway, I am glad it is up back and running as Wanderlust. Upon entering you can grab a glass of mead from the bar area or head into the winery to pay by the pour with your card. They have tons of wines to choose from to include sangrias. There are picnic tables inside and a small courtyard near the food trucks if you want to hang out outdoors. They have a few food trucks on-site that will be opening soon. One of them was kind enough to pass out bread samples. I am gluten-free but my husband indulged in some delicious bread which he said was AMAZING. Overall this is a cool little area with more to come to include a coffee place, brewery, and restaurant. I will be back for sure because the location is chill and the wine was good.
This rating is strictly for the Sunday Drag Brunch which imho is one of the best two in the city and #1 in setting and ambiance! I wasn't a huge fan of the wines themselves, but the bubblies and margaritas were delightful and the queens were all top notch. Service was a four out of five that day (they almost forgot our VIP Jell-O shots...shame!) but overall, it was a tremendous time and we'd gladly go again (and again and again).
So much space, vibrant space with amazing murals, tons of wine and games to play! I thought it was kind of strange that we went on a Wednesday which was 50% off "Wine Wednesdays" and it was very much empty. It is a unique experience to try all types of wine on draft (talk about quickly getting drunk doing this) but honestly I was not impressed. The white blends from France fell flat and it was still kind of expensive to pour. I paid $25 for a glass and half. Thankfully we went to Bufalina before and pre gamed with wine and pizza. I gave this spot a 4 because of the incredible art, this place is a cool vibe but just disappointed on the price point and selection of wines.
Love this place! Have been for a few events, with the latest being the Great Cake Exchange! Six samples of cakes, cookies or sweet treats for around $30?! And you get a glass of wine with it! What a steal! 17 different bakers with all kinds of treats. I got several including a tres leches pumpkin cake, mango cake, beautiful cupcake....to name a few. Highly recommend to bring extra peeps to allow for more tasting options. Hehehehehe Service was amazing everyone vey nice and the venue was set up well. Looks like they are getting ready for the holiday season! read more
I attended an event at Wanderlust and had a great time! It is very spacious and there was plenty of unique areas to hang out. The staff was kind, friendly, and quick. I had the watermelon margarita wine and it was delicious. I look forward to coming back during regular hours! read more

Love the art deco! Variety of areas to seat, including a room with artificial grass. Large room has many picnic tables with transistor radios and manual typewriters adorning them. Excellent selection of wine and sangria. Provides a great opportunity to try a variety of regions of wines that you would be unable to do in a restaurant setting. However, it is expensive. I had less than a glass and a half and spent over $20. There are 3 food trucks, but they were closed when we were there (Sunday). This would be a great place for a group event or just a large group attendance (that happy hour people forget to RSVP for--this is the place to accommodate them!). It is so spacious in the main room. Parking is an issue. It's only available on the street: so carpool or rideshare. read more

A different wine experience! Nice decor, great service, friendly people, great wines! Love the concept and experience! This is a great way to spend an evening out and enjoy wine and good food! I am glad to have learned about this place thanks to Yelp! I will definitely be back! read more

Where have you been all my life! Pay for only what you pour? Be able to try a wine without paying $12 a glass or a full bottle? Load me up cowboy!!! But the staff is ALWAYS amazing as well. They listen to you and recommend and truly care about your experience. They also throw events like drag brunch and other music events - the space is genuine. Enjoy!! read more

This place is great for large parties, very accommodating - we got 2 drinks and a Jell-O shot and saw a show for $38 a person. This was much cheaper than any other place that had table reservations. It's a beautiful space, great drinks, and a fun time. read more

The bartender was really cool and welcoming! Make sure to check in to get a discount ( hopefully it's still honored when you do) The Jell-O shots were very tasty and they had different flavors! I want to try some of their wines next time but this was strictly stop for shots. See ya next time wanderlust read more
The environment at Wanderlust Wine Co definitely has a fun, fantastical feel. However, during the summer it gets a bit toasty for my liking. The prime time when we like to visit is the Fall/Winter. If you're looking for a fun place to go with coworkers, bachelorette party, or just a happy hour - I definitely think Wanderlust is a great place to check out. The wine itself is decent - not anything I'd write home about, but drinkable. I feel like the environment itself is what makes it a great place to check out. read more

This space is so fun with super friendly staff. I went for Tappy Thursday, so they have 50% of all wines, the discount was great! They also had karaoke set up, which was so fun and festive! A quieter seating area was available as well. Overall, great wine selection and fun overall vibe! read more
Location #2 for wanderlust wine did not disappoint!! The two locations are wildly different it makes you do a double take - is this the same company?? But yes - they can do all the vibes with all the great wines. This location has a huge barn area for massive parties and events, a cozy interior, and another even cozier private room. The bathrooms are beautiful and the place, although huge, is still absolutely comfortable due to the layout. read more

I live right next door to the new Wanderlust and was too excited when I learned that they were doing their soft opening. My boyfriend and I came in after dinner one night to see the new location and grab a few drinks and I can definitely say that we'll be back. The wine isn't on tap just yet since they're still finishing up construction but there's still plenty of options and the staff is eager to help. We spoke to Ashley at the bar and she was amazing, she told us all about the building, the wines, events, and what was to come with the space. Not only was the wine great but the atmosphere is just unmatched. The building is decorated floor to ceiling with murals and graffiti art from local Austin artists. I can't wait to come back when the whole package is together! COVID Precautions: Masks are encouraged and hand sanitizer was provided. read more

Had a BLAST here for the Bottoms Up Drag Brunch for my birthday! If you want some good laughs and a super entertaining show this is the place. $30 bottomless mimosas weren't bad either. The owner is also such a sweetheart. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Does anyone know if they sell bottles of wine as well?
Howdy Brittney, Thank you for inquiring! Wanderlust Wine Co. revolves around wine on tap, so…
