The Holly

What a neat little wine bar! Came to enjoy my birthday with a good friend. Since it was a mid week mid day place was empty but that didnt bother us.We got a flight(seemed like the nest value) all the wines were good and def would try them again. There is an art gallery connected to the wine bar that offers classes (I think) One of the highlights was the lovely, sweet resident doggie. He was so well behaved! Add it to the Love List

The girls that work there are very nice and accommodating. We didn't get any food but looking around, there was not much wine to choose from. I do love that everything is organic or biodynamic. No additives! Hard surfaces with nothing to soften the noise. Go in and ask questions, try some new wines. Many women owned wineries are represented.

This is a cute little wine bar with interesting offerings. I came with a friend and we tried a wine flight. The staff member who served us was knowledgeable and the wine was great. I also tried an orange wine, which I had never had before and quite enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area and looking to chill with some good wine!

Cute little place a bit off the main SoMa drag. Nice patio and very reasonable wine and beer prices coupled with friendly service and a chill vibe! Nice for a relaxing stop!

Finally made it into The Holly, it took me way too long. I love it so much! My little brother visited for Christmas -- he manages a natural wine bar in Long Beach and really wanted to come here. We were somehow able to find the time amongst the holiday hustle to sneak away to The Holly, a Christmas miracle. And we had the best time! This is a natural wine bar where obviously the wines are.... natural! And naturally, a little more expensive, a little less alcohol, far fewer additives, and far more interesting and varied. We sat at the bar and tasted several options, all delicious, and each had a glass and shared the charcuterie board. The board was perfect. It's $28 and quite minimal, but to me it's the perfect amount of food to share with a friend over a glass of wine. None went to waste and we weren't wishing for more. It's 3 good-sized cheese wedges, and each cheese was so yummy and kind of unusual and freshly sliced (at least it seemed like it hadn't been sitting out). Then there was delicious dry salami, the best castelvetrano olives (chartreuse and buttery), and crunchy little baguette slices. We were told they typically have a gluten-free cracker option but were recently out of stock. Overall it was a small but truly fantastic charcuterie board, definitely my favorite right now! Daniella was our bartender and she was so lovely and took wonderful care of us. She made great recommendations, let us taste things, and talked with my brother about the natural wine biz. We bought 2 bottles of wine to take home, and my brother got a shirt. The Holly has super cute merch! I really can't wait to go back. They have a few beers and cider as well, if you're not the wine-type. Whatever you drink, give this place a shot and enjoy the sips and space.

When you think about rare hidden gems The Holly stands VERY HIGH. Very casual with not so much noise. Simplicity, period! Me and my gorgeous wife sit here as often as we can. Our glass in their opening day was an orange wine. It was a SHOCK to the system. Prior that all I knew was Chardonnay and Merlot. No darn idea what organic much less what in earth was orange wine meant. But visit after visit we found great deal of appreciation for this type of wines. Yes their glass menu is a little small. But word of advice. You will save more money buying a bottle than pay for a glass! Believe me. It took me two years to learn that lol (legit). The wine selection is super fun and widely varied. Yup! It can feel a bit intimidating. But no need! When you walk in you have that immediate feeling that you are entering your friend's house! Dead chill, ZERO pretentiousness or geekiness (but if want it you will find it lol). As soon as you get closer to the bar you will encounter their wine section. And pass the bar you'll be finding the smallest beautiful patio. The whole place is designed very minimalist. Which I found it very chill and nice. Staff members are very insightful and always quick to help. They work directly with small producers who work either organic, sustainable, with biodynamic practices. Bringing unique natural wines to the table. FYI wines inventory here changes very often. So if you found something that you enjoyed be sure leave with more than one bottle. You might not find it again.

Wine was amazing, love how small and intimate this place is. Everyone that we spoke to was so sweet. Wine selection was super large and staff was very attentive. Food was super tasty and we HIGHLY recommend the olives!! They're not sour they're super buttery. I forgot what wine (not pictured) we ordered but it was organic and went down super smooth.

Small, cure, quaint wine spot. Very modern, open, clean. Super kind people work here! Well priced flights and by the glass natural wines. Discounted wine bottles to go also. Very chill place to hang out, sip great, unique, natural, delicious wines from all over at value pricing. This place is certainly on my FW radar for good now. So glad I gave it a random chance to go try it out on a whim.

Cute spot for wine right off of South Main. Lots of organic wine bottles to purchase, priced averaging $30+ and can get pretty expensive. Wine by the glass is around $15. I've tried a few options there that I thought were nice and unique. They have a few snack options on the menu and there's usually a food truck nearby. They did a great job with the interior. It's bright and clean.. and they have a patio that's small-ish but a few tables to choose from. We go 1-3x a month when we are in the neighborhood.

Super intimate, minimalistic, and cozy wine bar. All wines are natural and you can also purchase bottles to go. It's not usually super crowded which is a huge plus. So it's the perfect place to come wine down after work and have great conversation. They offer some snacks but sometimes have food trucks where you can order from. I believe they also have a small patio and they are dog friendly.
