13 celsius

If you’re looking for a solid date night spot, and you’re a fan of wine you should definitely consider swinging by 13 Celsius. Tucked away just outside of the heart of Midtown, in what feels more like a townhouse residential area, sits one of the best wine bars you’ll find in Houston From the outside the bar looks relatively small, but as you walk in the bar is deceptively spacious. There is one of the smallest parking lots in the back, but I wouldn’t hold your breath on snagging a spot there. As mentioned, this is more or less a residential area, and you will mostly likely have to find trees parking. Make sure you double check for “no parking” signs. Midtown is notorious for towing cars The interior is nicely decorated and intimately lit. You can find seating both inside and out, and there is a long bar you can sit at The menu offers wines from all over the world, and you can order by the bottle, glass, half glass, and you can also taste. There are a variety of delicious small plates and other snacks to order The staff was exceptional. A couple individuals took our typical wine preferences and was able to find similar wines that we would enjoy. They could explain why we would enjoy, and they allowed us to taste prior to ordering a full glass. Another served us our small plates and explained the dish and even the history of sourcing some of the dish components and why It is incredibly easy to get lost in conversation and unwind at this bar. For what it is, I also found the bar relatively affordable. And for anyone wondering about the name, 13 Celsius refers to the optimal temperature for storing and maturing wines Some tips: Again, ask the staff what they would recommend and let them take you on a journey of exploration. And please, check the “parking signs” Cheers!

I really enjoyed their blended red wines—they were fantastic. The panini we ordered was delicious, though I wasn’t a big fan of the sausage. The decor and ambiance were spot on, and the staff was both friendly and knowledgeable. I’m looking forward to going back!

My boyfriend and I love this place. We try and drop in at least once a week. The staff here are fantastic. Especially Harold and Elsie. They always take the time to answer any questions we have and go out of their way to suggest wine they think we may enjoy. The wine tastings they have throughout the year are such a cool experience. You learn, you drink and you learn some more. They also have some great lite bite options that are diverse enough to please a lot of different palettes.
