Went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. The space is perfect. Interior and exterior. But their bartender was a bit of a hot mess when it came to the mixed drinks, but they were having an event the night we were there so I'm wondering if she was hired temporarily. The other bartender was great, but clearly overwhelmed. That would be the one downside. The bar is very small and limited in how fast they can service. Their wine selection was good. We did have a friend looking for a white wine that they did not have. Not that they ran out, they didn't have it altogether. That is surprising for a wine forward spot. But the space itself is gorgeous. The outdoor is really fun with great photo opportunities, as is the inside. It was also perfectly temperature controlled. read more

Super cute wine bar in what I think is East Austin but don't take my word I'm directionally challenged. Great, chilled vibe with a DJ. We opted for a few glasses of wine but will definitely do a bottle next time as they are exact on pours If you're looking for a chilled place to have a glass or bottle of wine, give them a try. read more

Still thinking about the amazing time we had here--such a gem in Austin with a vibe that truly transports you. Crystal took care of us and gave such thoughtful, friendly service--she knew the menu like the back of her hand and made us feel so welcome. We were vibing to '90s throwbacks and house music thanks to the DJ, and the space is perfect whether you're keeping it low-key or posted up in the intimate back room with a group. Their wine list spans South Africa, France, California, and more--and the wine flights are perfect if you're still figuring out what your palate loves. And the charcuterie board? Incredible. Huge thanks to @cheeseondecktx for the perfect balance of sweet + savory. So good paired with the wine. Happy Hour: Sun-Fri 4-6pm ($8 house wine) Reverse Happy Hour: Sun-Thurs 8-10pm Definitely recommend for a cozy date night or girls night--just go ahead and order that second glass. read more

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! read more

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! read more

The RSRV - Entrance - Wine Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

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! read more

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. read more

The RSRV - Wine bar Austin - Wine Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

This place has become a weekly spot for me! Everyone there is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable with their large assortment of wines. Go in a few times and they'll treat you like familiar faced family. The atmosphere and vibe is awesome. They have a lovely indoors area, and a massive patio and deck with tons of rooms for outdoor activities. Solid wine bar on the east side, and definitely a place you should check out! read more

Bottom line. I would avoid going to this place even though it looks nice. I was over charged and the establishment help themselves to a hefty $16 "tip" that I did not authorize. The owner will not do "the right thing" and issue a refund. The place looks nice but when they it's not worth it. Please read about my experience below. On Jan 27 2025 I visited this establishment with my wife. We order a bottle of wine at a cost of $60 and nothing else. I submitted my credit card to pay for the wine but was not given a receipt. I left thinking that the bill was but when I looked at my credit card bill a few days later I found an charge for $83.66. I called the next day and ask the owner to rectify the charges. He said that they had added a $16.24 tip to my bill and added $5.13 for tax. I told him that I had not authorized the tip and he said that he was going to remove it but it would take 3 to 5 business days for it to go through. I waited a week and it was still there. So I called him back an essentially got the same response. I called my credit card company to do a charge back and they gave me a temporary charge back but later rejected it because I did not have a receipt. Now it's March and the bill has not been settled. I called the owner back but he said he was busy and told me to call back in the morning. I intuition says that he is not going to refund the money they overcharged me. He has had ample time to do what is fair and right. read more

I went with 6 girlfriends on their grand opening! The wine is excellent! Not cheap wine at all! We ordered bottles of Chardonnay, Champagne and Pinot Noir. All were good! The service was fast but very knowledgeable about the wines as well. The ambiance was a vibe even though it rained a bit, we still enjoyed and keep the party going. They even had music. There is a food truck that had a nice charcuterie board too! Try them out. read more
