Austin will never be the same with its upswing economy. Young professionals and businessmen work hard during the day and expect to even play harder during the evening. The night life is evolving to suit these changing crowd and the shifting tastes. This saw the rise of wine bars, some of which have been around the block longer, while others are newer hipper upstarts and alternative watering spots. The warehouse district, popular for its classy bars and bistros, has seen the emergence of newer wine bars that cater to both the younger and the older sets.

The trend is spilling to outside the downtown area even. From Hyde Park and North Austin's domain, and down south, Austin is seeing the sprouting of these wine bars. Amongst them is another star, the Grove Wine Bar and Kitchen.

Good food and great drinks at the Grove Wine Bar

The Grove Wine Bar ambience draws regulars and new habitu's to its cozy interior, its seating areas and raised deck overhung by the branches of a massive tree. The relaxing atmosphere is complemented by the menu entrees and the wine list. Good food, great drinks, wonderful ambience, all these combine to make the Grove Wine Bar a local favorite.

Try the chef's bruschetta with your favorite table wine and choice of mozzarella and tomato or garlic and basil. To whet your appetite, the sampler platter features cheese and meat and fruit. Salads and pizzas and pasta are great there, complete with old favorites and exotic ingredients.

While you can easily forget the lateness of the hour during evenings at the Grove, daytime offerings are equally enticing and engrossing. For a quick lunch or light dinner, imagine the likes of sesame-crusted tuna, venison chili, proscuitto on your fettuccini, and the different pizza flavors, too. Wash them down with any choice of the Grove's wine stock and it'll be a great treat for you and your friends.

Rave reviews of the bar abound, although many sort of complain because the Grove has earned a regular following already that it's sometimes hard to get a space there. But that just goes to show how patrons keep coming back for the good food, the good wine, the great affordable price.
