Leela's Wine Bar

If Leela's Wine Bar was an Airbnb host, it would definitely have super-host status. Leela's original location on Greenville Avenue is a little bit more free-spirited than its new Uptown sibling, where the mood is a touch more mature with lo-fi bass beats and dark green plush booths. At both locations, Leela's implements a tap system, meaning every glass of wine is as the winemaker intended, not sullied by light or oxidation. Also, there's much less waste. The global wine list includes a super Tuscan, a Garnacha, West Coast staples including Joel Gott and Robert Hall, plus some deeper cuts. Get one of the cracker-thin-crust pizzas, which can be made with cauliflower crust. The mushroom bechamel or Butcher loaded with meat both hit the spot. Be sure to check out the Greenville location during the holidays for a winter wonderland pop-up. Whatever you do, don't leave without treating yourself to one of the best espresso martinis in the city.
