The location is great and parking hasn’t been an issue on any occasion. Every time I’ve gone, the atmosphere is just so relaxed and almost familial. We’ve met some really cool loyal patrons there and it’s a great change of pace from any other drinking establishment in town.” 

4. Whine Belly
519 W Oltorf

Yelp reviewer Kyle G. from Norman, OK said: “When we entered we sat straight at the bar and were told right away to head toward the patio for a free wine tasting. We enjoyed a few Italian wines, for free, then headed in for dinner. Once back at our seats at the bar, we reviewed the posts from other Yelpers and ordered the Sliders, Grilled Skirt Steak and Fries, which were all very well prepared and colorfully served. We both had wine and great conversation from our host and bartender. We will certainly return to the Winebelly.”

5. Gisbon Bar

1109 S Lamar

Yelp reviewer Ruth B. from Austin, TX said: “I love this place! I used to live in the 04 and would come here all the time. The service is always on point and the bartenders really take pride in making good drinks. I usually go for one of their signature cocktails and they make them nice and strong, just like I like my drinks!”
