Zimm's Martini and Wine Bar

If you’re in the mood for a quiet, softly-lit bar with ample leather sofas and chairs, plus classic cocktails and more offbeat offerings, like a mint chocolate chip martini, then Zimm’s is a good bet. Here, patrons are dressed to impress with the after-work crowd in their expensive suits and trophy wives in their Galleria finest. The peaceful, lounge-ready house music is pleasant but won't distract from the conversation, and there’s a romantic feel, especially around the sofas in the back. Come early before the small back parking lot fills up.

The art on the walls is show-stopping, culled from a mix of owner Steve Zimmerman's personal collection and local up-and-comers whose canvases are for sale at the right price.
