The Tastiest Wine Bars in El Paso

Champagne Villain

★★★★☆ 4.1 (8)

"Warning: do not come here if you are past the point of pregaming lush, not a functional alcoholic or a casual wine connoisseur. Because your wallet will probably hate you for it, as will your liver. Not to mention your head. Just ask my friend Victoria. It'll give the phrase, "hugging your bucket bedside" new meaning.Now, all joking aside, there really isn't a whole lot to say about this place. The decor is spectacular, the music will make you wanna take your date home with a quickness and plow like there's no tomorrow, the cheese and meat plates are exquisite, and the bartenders are extremely friendly and easy to talk to. But be careful...as these guys are experts at the whole, "Here, try this drink, you'll love it! No, really...it'll make you a better dancer" vibe.Gotta give these bartenders props for being subject matter experts at their craft though. I mean, these aren't your typical bartenders from the likes of Chili's or something as pedestrian as all that. The place, while quite tiny, has an upscale feel to it. I really like how the bar decor was reminiscent of the bar at Ruth's Chris. Seriously, the spectacle is that impressive!I'm only giving this place 4 sloshy-slosh friends drunker than a skunk out of 5; because they're simply a bar with no true kitchen or much to eat, beyond those light bites I mentioned. It may seem harsh. But even Clicks Billiards serves wings and fries, at least."

Corralito Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (7)

"I was in El Paso in personal business and rebooking my hotel to this Casino location in New Mexico and I came to enjoy some good authentic Mexican cuisine I must say that not only was the food amazing and truly authentic and delicious! The amazing hospitality and service I received from Nick was outstanding customer service he went over and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. This was one first time in New Mexico and I will truly come back just to eat here. Simply Amazing!!!! The chips and salsas were delicious!!!!Very clean and cozy!!"

Happys Barley & Vine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (21) • $

"Friendly and intimate bar where you meet locals and friends who just want to catch up and have a drink. The bar offers a great selection of fantastic Tequilas like Don Fulano; Arte Nun Selection and Tequila Ochi. If you are hungry some bar snacks are available with sausage, Bavarian Pretzels and spicy cauliflower bites. The beer menu includes more than 36 draft beers that are constantly rotating. This place is really cool and super clean, with a couple of tables around the bar and some table outside. You can also order pizzas from Ardovino, sushi from Aki and some food from Graves; a sort of reverse BYO concept for food. The bartender Simon is a cocktail master and very friendly. So expect super cool and friendly services! Come and check Happys you will not regret it!"

Billy Crews Fine Dining

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (73) • $$$

"Okay, so if i had to be honest there were some MAJOR concerns when pulling up to this restaurant on a Saturday Thanksgiving weekend! The lot was COMPLETELY EMPTY! Also from first glance of the reviews I was really getting concerned but this is where my FIL wanted to take us as a family. Fast forward, we walk in, there's one table seated in this ginormous restaurant. We were seated in the banquet area. We were then greeted by Ryan and Raul. These guys were amazing! There was 9 of us and they never missed a beat in helping us. They made sure beverages were fill, took our orders, received our food in a timely manner. Everything was great! The food was REALLY DELICIOUS AS WELL! Our meals ranged from the night special of Sea Bass, NY strip, filet mignon, prime rib and rib eye. Everything was cooked to perfection!I highly recommend this place!Only thing I think they could use is an update. The main seating and banquet room are very very very dated. Included old wall paper and weird white iron chairs with cushions. Something like my great gram would have."

Mesa Street Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (284) • $$$

"I had been to Mesa St Grill before but not since it moved location. This place was great. Our server Carolina was awesome and super helpful we went for our small company party (6 people) and they even provided a small table for all our gifts. Service was great, different people helped to keep our drinks full. Pretty pricey but worth it. Good portions and tasty. I had the lobster Mac, so good and creamy. I also loved the slider appetizers.. so good. I would go back to get a Long Island and the sliders."

Craft and Social

★★★★★ 4.5 (165) • $$

"Snazzy Retro Themed Pizzeria & Italian bistro! If you're in the downtown area and either craving pizza or a light Italian meal...then this is your place!! Great craft beer selections on tap. Covid compliant. AMAZING food!! Small menu but the food was simple and Delicious!!"

Mutual Friends Coffee

★★★★★ 4.8 (6)

"You must visit this shop when you're in Marfa. Super cute, great vibes, cool/friendly staff. We got coffee and oatmeal and both were delicious. Also snapped a cute pic of course :)"

Mezcla

★★★★☆ 4.2 (10)

"Yummy with great service. I had the salmon, polenta, leaks, and spicy secret sauce. Great combination. Well prepared Spanish food in a relaxing atmosphere. Do it."

Wine Attitude

★★★★★ 4.6 (16) • $$

"I've enjoyed coming to Wine Attitude to relax on various occasions. I'm more of a white and desserts wine aficionado. The sweeter the wine, the better! I like the cozy atmosphere Wine Attitude offers its patrons. It almost feels like I'm sitting at home or at a friend's house. I like to sit on one of their comfy couches rather than at a table or the bar. The owner and employees are always nice and hospitable. The wine bar offers live music on certain days of the week. They've also hosted several events and dinners. They are reasonably priced for events like baby showers, birthday parties, etc. The place is kind of hidden but I'm glad I found it some months back. This is a nice place to go if you want to have a conversation with someone and chill. They usually play relaxing, jazz music everytime I've been there. The music isn't so loud you have to shout when speaking. I like that! I can't stand it when it's too loud somewhere. FYI, they aren't open on certain days of the week like Sunday-Tuesday. I wish they were but they aren't. They also sell wine by the bottle for around $25. I think that's reasonable, especially if it's from overseas."

Perol Artisanal Carnitas

★★★★☆ 4.3 (14)

"I loved "Perol Artisanal Carnitas" and visited it because it was highly recommended. When I arrived, I immediately noticed the modern and beautifully decorated restaurant. I experienced outstanding customer service; we only waited five minutes to be seated during lunchtime on a Sunday. The couple of cocktails we had were amazing. Their menu is affordable, but I loved how delicious all the food was. Their servings are large, specifically the Chamorro Adobado. Perol Artisanal Carnitas offers authentic Mexican Food. I highly recommend it. My only complaint is that the food was a bit cold. Apparently, their heat lamp was off, and our food waited for about 5 minutes to be served, but they will fix it."

Petit Bijou

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"This place is an incredible oasis in the Big Bend region of west Texas. Alpine is not that large a place and we saw this cute little food and wine trailer driving around the city. Read the great reviews here on Yelp and decided to drop by for a glass of wine before dinner. Ginger, the owner greeted us and we made an immediate connection. What an awesome host, server, sommelier, chef and all around kind and friendly person she is. After asking about our tastes in wine, she made a couple recommendations and they were spot on. We enjoyed the Cotes du Rhone so much we brought the bottle. We decided to stay and have dinner here. So glad that we did. The food was amazing. We had the baked brie with apples and toasted pecans and the smoked salmon toast. This place is a jewel in west Texas. A place like you would expect to find in Napa or Oregon. What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy. Thank you Ginger."

Salud de Mesilla

★★★★☆ 4 (292) • $$

"We got a perfect morning to sit on the patio. Our server, Jazz, was just a delight! Had good suggestions, noticed water glasses and checked in enough without being overwhelming. Now let's talk about what fun the Bloody Mary and mimosa bar can be! I had a peach mimosa, but not the bar, and it was delicious. My friend made her own Bloody Mary and said the only thing missing was celery stalks. They had celery salt, but that's not crunchy! Salad in a glass with a generous pour on the vodka side. Sunday also had prime rib tacos for $1.50, so we started with those. Very fresh, pretty ample amount of prime rib, flavorful sauce, tomatoes and lettuce. We would do those again. Next we did their nachos, which are discounted on Sunday. We added grilled chicken and that was a great addition. 3 of us had more than enough to eat with a taco each and shared nachos. Incredibly affordable, drinks and splitting the meal came to about $15 each. I should have taken a picture of the nachos, but we dove right in!"

The Holy Grail

★★★★☆ 3.9 (72) • $$

"Amazing food. Amazing service. Great wine selection. Clean establishment. Other reviews on here are way too much. Not many places have wine so I'm thankful for what we have. Support local."

The Silo Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (45)

"I Visited Silo Bar for date night on a Friday evening. I was worried that it would be too busy when I arrived, but thankfully it was not. Inside, Inside Silo Bar is dim; they have booths, high tables and chairs, bar sitting, and regular-size tables and chairs. We experienced pleasant customer service. Their drink menu is bast, their food menu is small, and everything we ordered was outstanding. The cocktails are thoughtfully crafted, and I love their chocolate Martini. It is a shame their food options are only "shareables/tapas" like, so I look forward to returning and ordering many of their shareables and making it a full meal--a perfect place for a date or a cozy night with friends."

The Overpour

★★★★☆ 4 (24)

"This place is so cool for a drink wine mixed drinks they've got like popcorn and great food They have a private room with cigars. I love the vibe love this place love the patio for the winter they have a fireplace. That's so cool so awesome great parking on the west side super cool spot has a speakeasy field. Love love love it."

Love Shack

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"Great wine & great live music. The ambiance is stunning and makes you feel as if you've somehow just transported to another city. Such a great addition to T or C!"

Pilon

★★★★★ 5 (12)

"I've been meaning to stop by here for a while; too bad I'm pregnant and cannot enjoy a glass of wine because their wine list is impressive! Next year. For now, their cold menu is a marvel, and I had a difficult time making a decision for lunch. I settled on the Spicy Italian sandwich, which was served quickly and was flavorful on a perfect sourdough with all the fixings. They also have a variety of sides available like olives, almonds, Greek potato salad, tabboleh, and chips. I'm eager to try a salad next time I visit. The place is very clean with plenty of seating. This would make a great lunch or dinner spot. The service was friendly and attentive. They source from local bakers and vendors. What a treat for today!"

Margin Notes Bookbar

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I saw this on IG and it looked like a cute place, and it was! We tried the dry wine flight, the waitress was very helpful and informative! We read for a while there and it was very relaxing. The ambiance is great, we want to return for the live music events. There is a fire pit patio that looks so nice. Plenty of seating indoor."

Wine Down

★★★★★ 4.8 (11)

"What an amazing nostalgic place to enjoy a great wine of your choice and even a cold beer. The staff and owners really know how to make you forget about your day with great service. The sandwiches are a definite must try and at a great price! Thank you again to the staff and owners for making our visit so memorable! We will definitely be back! Prost!"

The Riviera Cocina & Cantina

★★★☆☆ 3 (124) • $$

"So my Super Bowl game day diet plan was to have a good protein packed breakfast. I had not been to The Riviera in several years. It was on my way home from Church, and they do have traditional pancakes etc, but I knew they would have good protein selections. I was right- they have a menu item that features a 10oz ribeye, two eggs cooked anyway you like, your choice of hash browns, beans or green chili potatoes, and toast for $16! As is traditional with El Paso Mexican restaurants, they bring you chips and salsa with your beverage. After a short wait, the breakfast platter came out- it was huge! The best part was the steak smelled and looked like it just came off the grill. It was a thin steak but cooked perfectly to my request- medium rare. The green chili potatoes were delicious without having to add salt or pepper and the eggs were perfect. My waiter made sure my coffee cup stayed full.Service - excellent, food - outstanding!Now I am ready to turn my head away from empty calories at my game watch parties (yes I am house hopping today)."

Venezia Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (169) • $$

"The best Italian food in midland, I am a big fan of this restaurant. As a pasta and seafood lover, I can honestly say this was very delicious! We were a group of 6, and the service was outstanding! The waiter never let our glasses go empty and was there anytime we needed him. The food itself was delicious, and you could taste the fresh ingredients. I had their Red Fish with crawfish and shrimp topping - flavorful and sooo good! The restaurant itself was clean and well decorated, had a relaxing Mediterranean vibe. I am a big fan!"

The Ritchey Wine Saloon & Beer Garden

★★★★★ 4.6 (11)

"I moved to Alpine about 6 months ago. Still working out being a local! I like going to the Ritchy. It is relaxing and pretty darn cool. The two musical guests I have seen here so far were amazing. I havent had any bad experiences here and I know I will keep going. If you're here from out of town, it is a wonderfully relaxing, friendly, fun place!"
