As advertised by the banner fronting Montrose Blvd., the wine bar and its outdoor drinking area are now open for business. Getting things ready inside the venue took a little longer than it did to set up fencing. After the bottles went up in late August, the front door of the former homeless shelter stayed closed to patrons for a little over a month.

Bacco’s on Stella Link @N. Braeswood also has just opened, to rave reviews on Nextdoor. Yelpers are more guarded. Mild complaints about the parking.
So trashy.
I give them about 1 year ….. by then the hype will have been long dead
Leave it to swamploters to always be so negative. Little spoiled babies.
Memebag, I believe City of Houston code requires them to pick up their trash. If there is a problem with them not doing so, you can call 311 and they will get right on it.
Waiting for a car to plow into the fence & the wine bottles . It’ll be epic !!!
Should be nice when the weather is nice. That stretch needs some places like this.
Why is everyone so negative on here!
Love the way it looks. Should attract a younger crowd with such an instagramable look! Here’s to another successful location!
Victor for the win, i laughed
@DW: I’m being negative because I don’t like how it looks. It sounds OK in theory, but the end result is just ugly. It looks like they built a fence out of trash, which they in fact did.
Driving by this makes me cringe.
@IS….. exactly!
Perhaps their target consumers are homeless oneophiles?
