A few years ago, there seemed to be limited wine bars to choose from in Dallas. We are so thankful that’s no longer the case! Whether you’re in need of a girls night, a date night with tapas and wine, or just love experiencing cozy wine bars with flavors from around the world, there’s a wine bar for you!
Updated May 2024
RAMBLE ROOM
Ramble Room is one of our favorite spots for a lively atmosphere and a great food menu! Find them in University Park, with an incredible wine list to match their dramatically cool dining room. Enjoy happy hour at the bar or sip all night on their intimate upstairs mezzanine. Plus they offer half-price bottles on Tuesdays and half-price bottles of bubbles on Sundays!

AMPELOS WINES
This adorable shop is female and LGBTQ-owned, featuring a colorful interior and hundreds of natural wines from all over the world! All their wines are sourced ethically and sustainably-made, and you can enjoy a glass at the bar or shop bottles to take home. They also offer wine flights on Wednesdays and Thursdays!
Bishop Arts District | Directions
BARCELONA WINE BAR
One of our favorite places for a date night or girls' night is the cozy tapas and wine bar on Henderson Avenue, Barcelona Wine Bar! With hanging lights and vintage chairs and tables, it’s one of the most romantic patios we’ve seen in Dallas. You’ll truly feel like you’ve escaped to Spain, Which makes it perfect for sipping on fresh sangria or one of their 40 wines by the glass or 400 bottles -- one of the largest collections in town!
Henderson Ave | Directions
BODEGA WINE BAR
Another super hidden treasure, Bodega is a wine bar that has insanely high ratings, and is very much “locals-only.” It is probably one of the most expensive places on this list. Why? Because you go for the selection of fine wines. This is for the true wine aficionados! Also, it exudes old-world romantic vibes so a great spot to take someone and impress them with your knowledge of off-the-beaten-path places!
Lakewood | Directions
CHOCOLATE SECRETS
Did someone say “chocolate”?! And “wine”?! And “jazz”?! Chocolate Secrets has all three! This place has amazing and beautiful chocolates, an art gallery, and weekly programs like jazz and open mic nights. Chocolate Secrets is a great place to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, or just go hang out for a great experience. They’re located right on the corner of Oak Lawn and Avondale, so you can’t miss it.
Oak Lawn | Directions
CRÚ WINE BAR
CRÚ is a chain, and we are lucky enough to have not just one, but FIVE locations in DFW! One of the cool things about CRÚ is their wine club! Membership includes a complimentary appetizer for signing up, a free entrée on your birthday, priority reservations, advanced notice of special events, 40% off retail wine (at participating locations), and members-only benefits like special buy one, get one free brunch entree days.
West Village | Directions
EDEN HILL WINERY
Sip wines made from grapes in Celina! We highly recommend visiting Eden Hill's vineyard in the 'burbs, but their Farmers Market location is open all weekend to grab a glass or bottle, or enjoy a tasting on the patio!
Farmers Market | Directions
LEELA’S WINE BAR
Leela’s is one of the cutest wine bars around, with a feminine atmosphere, Beverly Hills-inspired patio, and seasonal pop-ups! Stop by for $7 house wine happy hour during the week or half-priced Rosé all day on Wednesdays!
Greenville | Directions
NEIGHBORHOOD CELLAR
Sip and shop at this quaint wine bar and shop in Bishop Arts! They're known for having an extremely knowledgeable staff offering advice on wines to purchase, or to help you find your faves via a flight, along with some cheese! You can even sit out on the patio and enjoy the Bishop Arts vibes. Make sure to check their event schedule online as they frequently host fun things like Wine 101!

SACHET
This modern Mediterranean restaurant features an upscale food menu, and an extensive wine list! Their wine selection even earned them a James Beard Award nomination in 2022 -- they were a National Semifinalist in the Outstanding Wine Program category. Stop by the bright and airy space to explore the menu for yourself, and definitely order a few delicious mezze dishes to pair with your wine!
Oak Lawn | Directions
SIXTY VINES
If you want a side of dinner with your glass of wine, check out Sixty Vines! The new Uptown location in the Crescent is really walkable, and offers, well, sixty wines on tap! They have even perfected the wine cocktail so you can have some favorite drinks like a Bloody Mary or margarita, made with wine! And then, of course, you can order pizza, pasta, or a selection of apps to accompany you. This is also the wine spot to go to for big groups!
ST. MARTIN’S WINE BISTRO
This beloved Dallas French bistro closed briefly last year, but is back and better than ever at a new location! It has a classy, romantic vibe, with nightly pianists starting at 5pm. It's perfect for date night, and don't forget to pair your wine with staples from the menu like Champagne Brie Soup, crab cakes, and creme brûlée!
Old East Dallas | Directions
STONEY’S WINE LOUNGE
Stoney’s is right by The Wine Therapist, located on Oram Street. It’s a very different vibe, however; unlike the quaint and cozy vibe at The Wine Therapist, Stoney’s is big, open, and has a patio! What makes Stoney’s different? If you’re a wine expert with no room to store your bottles, Stoney’s offers storage for your wine! You can pay yearly or monthly. Additionally, they offer wine gift baskets as well as cellar consultations.
Lakewood | Directions
THE ALCOVE
This wine bar is so hidden, you have maybe driven by it dozens of times without noticing! It’s tucked away in State Allen, with a comfy living room set up, and really amazing coffee too. And what’s really cool is they specialize in small production, family-owned wineries so a lot of what you can find there, you can’t find anywhere else!
State Allen | Directions
TIMES TEN CELLARS
This is one of the coolest places I’ve been in Dallas. They have their own vineyard located 18 miles south of Alpine, Texas. From the outside, this big gray building doesn’t look like much, but once you walk in, you know it’s something different! It’s located in Lakewood and has a huge patio, a tasting room, and a lounge.
Lakewood | Directions
TROVA WINE + MARKET
If you like the vibe of Leela’s Wine Bar on Lower Greenville, you’ll like Trova too: modern and feminine! With rows of wine filling the wall, pink velvet chairs lining the bar, images of Instagramable places like Palm Springs hanging on the walls, and a pink and teal color palette, we wanted to move in! Choose another from their list of 20 wines by the glass, and pair it with their amazing charcuterie board!
Preston Center | Directions
WINETASTIC WINE BAR
Yes, the name is a little cheesy, yes it’s located next to Buffalo Wild Wings, and yes, the interior is a bit outdated. But is it one of the best places to find a great selection of wine? That’s also a BIG yes! Read the reviews and you’ll instantly want to make the trip. People rave about how amazing the staff and owner are, and they are constantly hosting events from 1/2 price Mondays to wine tastings to Champagne Fridays!
