13 celsius

Read the story here: http://bit.ly/13FWBestBars

Inspired by their life experiences in small European towns, Ian Rosenberg and Michael Sammons opened 13 celsius to create a similar atmosphere in Houston and combine it with their passion for architectural preservation and fine wine.

13 celsius is the optimal temperature to store and maintain the integrity of great wine. With an aim toward providing Houston with the best wine possible, 13 celsius prides itself as the only wine bar in town to actually keep its wine in a temperature-controlled cellar. Located in the heart of Midtown, this circa-1927 Mediterranean-style building creates an atmosphere reminiscent of the wine bars and Enotecas of Europe. We have an open air courtyard, luxurious seating, and nearly 40 feet of white marble bar from which one can partake from a bold and unique wine list focused on low-production, high-quality wines. We also offer choice meats and cheeses from Joseph's Cooler to accompany and enhance the total wine experience. We serve locally roasted espresso from the finest of European machines. Come at night for a glass of wine and take home a retail-priced bottle or two. Kitchen closes at Midnight Sunday-Wednesday, and 1AM Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Holiday Hours:
