Thankfully, the trend that is all things rosé isn’t going away anytime soon. (Also, thank goodness the rosé drought of 2014 is past us.) Premium imported rosé wines have hit double-digit growth over the past decade and Houston isn’t missing out.

There’s no better time to partake in the national trend of rosé than during these hot summer months (lest we forget National Rosé Day on June 9), we’ve rounded up a complete guide of when and where to drink the pink in Houston — and view life through rosé-colored glasses.

Bar Victor
Brand-new to Montrose sits Victor, a sexy, French lounge (the old Zimm’s space), that is already a local favorite. This plush lounge replete with colorful velvet seating and private rooms offers plenty of rosé, and amps up each week with the Rosé Soiree, happening every Wednesday from 5 pm to 8 pm, and featuring buy one bottle or glass of rosé, get one free.

Le Colonial
Mondays are more tolerable thanks to Le Colonial’s Monday rosé promotion, where the entire rosé list is 50 percent off (you can get a bottle of Miraval for $29.50, which is cheaper than retail). Fun fact: You can actually score a bottle of rosé for 18.50. By the glass Le Colonial carries three options and seven bottles, as well as four rosé champagnes. (The 50 percent off wine promotion happens every Monday in the dining room and lounge for bottles under $100.)

Bosscat Kitchen & Libations
If ever there was a Houston spot dubbed the home of Miraval Rosé, this is it. Bosscat kicked off its patio service with a launch party with Miraval Rosé in December, and now that the weather is heating up, be on the lookout for another rosé patio party this summer (the Miraval umbrellas make for the perfect Instagram background). Not only do they offer three rosé variations (Matua Rosé, Miraval and Sterling Sparkling Rosé), they also add the pink stuff to their food: If you’re looking to eat your rosé, try the Drunken Pasta with rosé sauce, wide egg noodles, tomato cream, and peas.

a’Bouzy
Boasting one of the most extensive rosé lists in Houston, a’Bouzy offers 40 different labels of still rosé wine available in several size bottles — with offerings all the way up to six liters. Prices range from $17 per bottle to nearly $500. You can find more than 65 different labels of sparkling rosé and champagne by the bottle, so if you’re the indecisive type, you’ve been warned. Choose between a bottle or glass, sparking or still, and enjoy a beautiful Houston day on their expansive patio with other like-minded drinkers.

Brasserie 19
When it comes to rosé, Brasserie 19 (affectionately known as B19) is a great spot that offers plenty of options and low markups (only 1.6 times retail — reason enough to go) with 12 sparkling rosés and 25 non-sparkling rosés. Grab some friends and snag a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Sparkling Rosé for a mere $69 a bottle. If you feel like mixing it up, B19 also features a Rosé Spritz with Clementine Rosé, thyme, framboise, and raspberry. Head to B19 for National Rosé Day (June 9), from noon-3p for 30 different rosés. Be sure to wear pink for a chance to win some coveted swag.

Eight Row Flint
When it comes to whiskey and tacos, Houstonians already know you can’t go wrong at Eight Row Flint. The watering hole was one of the original spots to grab frosé in Houston (if not the first), and it’s on the menu, rain or shine. Their frosé is made with Rosé, Luxardo Aperitivo, lemon, strawberry, lemon oleo, and basil cordial and is the perfect patio drinking companion in the hottest summer months — it even pairs well with tacos. Guests can also grab a refreshing can of Sway Rosé, from William Chris Wines, which is a Texas-grown wine ($9).

Night Heron
Head over to Night Heron, one of Montrose’s best neighborhood patios, for a refreshing glass of frosé, made with Provencal Rosé, brut champagne, strawberry-basil cordial, and lemon. Co-owner and beverage director Morgan Weber notes, “the combination of strawberries, lemon, and basil is nothing but classic.” The strawberry-basil cordial is made by mascerating fresh chiffonaded basil in a rich simple syrup while the syrup is still warm. The basil syrup is then added to strawberry purée, fortified with a bit of overproof rum. Night Heron frosé is also on happy hour for just $5, Monday-Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm.

Star Fish
Rosé happy hour offerings are usually limited, but not at Star Fish, which offers Veuve de vernay Cremant de Bourgogne or Pellehaut from Gascony France — both are $5/glass — from Monday to Friday, 4 pm to 6 pm. It doesn’t hurt that their rosé offerings extend well beyond happy hour, with nine total offerings of still rosé (three by the glass) as well as four rosé sparkling options (we highly recommend pairing the rosé with Star Fish's oysters).

FM Kitchen and Bar
This spot serves up a covered patio, drinks, bright and picture-worthy art murals, classic food, music, and canned rosé. What more could your summertime heart desire than Babe Rosé at FM Kitchen and Bar? You can also grab a bottle or glass of Charles and Charles Rosé (still) or go for the happy hour option of Segura Viudas Brut Rosé, which is only $5 per glass during happy hour (Monday to Friday from 3 pm to 7 pm, and Sundays 6 pm to close). Don’t be alarmed if you see a few folks attempting to shotgun the canned rosé, as it’s been known to happen, according to bar manager Ravinder Bath.

King’s BierHaus
Whoever said German food doesn’t pair well with rosé has never been to this Houston spot. Offering five variations of rosé, including a $6 rosé draft (Perrin Cotes du Rhone Rosé for $6 during happy hour) and their famous frosé, made with a homemade strawberry cordial, vodka and rosé — $7 during happy hour. Other rosé offerings include Pierre Sparr Cremant D'Alsace Brut Rosé (sparkling), Terlan Lagrein Rosé, Miraval Cotes de Provence Rosé, and Villa Wolf Pinot Noir Rosé. Here rosé bottles start at $25 and are sure to be a summertime hit for your wallet — and your friends.

Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café
This Instagram-worthy café (all three Houston locations fit this bill) doesn’t skimp on rosé options and early birds will flock to happy hour Monday through Thursday, running from 11 am to 7 pm, where you can sip on $5 glasses of rosé (bottles for just $20). Choose from J.P. Chenet Brut Rosé or Los Dos Rosé (both pair perfectly with the Californian crêpe).

The Oceanaire Seafood Room
Don’t miss the chance to sip on one of the few rosé cocktails in Houston, the Petal Pusher. The Petal Pusher is made with Grand Marnier Orange Liqueur, Rose Water, Francis Coppola Sofia Brut Rosé sparkling wine, club soda, and grapefruit. If you’re looking for rosé by the glass, you have Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia Rosé, sparkling wine, Monterey, Moët & Chandon, Rosé Impérial, Brut, Champagne, Épernay, or Chateau Beaulieu, and Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence Elouan. Also, don’t miss Rosé All Day, an annual event celebrating the pink drink Saturday, July 14.

Relish Restaurant & Bar
Sip on Relish Rosé, a signature cocktail made with Ford's Gin, St-Germain Elderflower, lemon and sparkling rosé, only $5 per glass during happy hour (Monday through Friday, 3 pm to 6 pm). Additionally, Relish offers several by the bottle or glass.

Seaside Poke
Nothing says summertime quite like a fresh and locally sourced poke bowl paired with a cold can of Babe Rosé ($8) at Seaside Poke. Good times, good food and a can of pink bubbles is everything EaDo.

Truck Yard
Astros and Dynamo fans already know the drill, but now the rest of you know it’s time to cool off with a Frose ($8) at Truck Yard — a mix of California rosé spiked with New Amsterdam Berry. If you haven’t tried this expansive beer garden and adult playground that just opened in East Village, get there soon or risk FOMO.

Coppa Osteria
This Rice Village location has three rosés by the glass and nine by the bottle. Grab a seat on their patio and sip the day away with your favorite rosé with their house-made Fritto Misto. They also offer frosé made with Paul Jaboulet, Parallèle Rosé from Cotes Du Rhone and berry purée for $10 – not a bad way to beat the Houston heat.

UB Preserv
Try the “Adult Entertainer" cocktail with gin, passion fruit, lime and vanilla, served with a sidecar of Chanceny Brut Rosé from the Loire Valley. UB Preserv has a total of six rosés to pick from, and one of the more fun variations is Rezabal Txakoli Rose from Spain's Basque region made from Hondarrabi Beltza. It's vibrant and fresh, and rich with wild berries, salinity, and mouthwatering acidity.

Goodnight Charlie's
Master sommelier David Keck is a partner in Goodnight Charlie’s, so you know the rosé here is thoughtfully selected. One of those is June’s Rosé, a 50/50 blend of Zweigelt and PN (Goodnight Charlie’s is the only place that carries it outside of the McGuire Moorman Hospitality Group, so it’s incredibly exclusive). Grab a glass on the patio to hydrate before or after some of the best two-stepping in the city for a true Houston experience.

The Patio on Richmond
This popular watering hole (the old Jackson’s Watering Hole) has Drop Rosé in a can for $5, which is hard to beat, plus Olivare Rosado for $6.95 and makes a great spot to catch up with old friends or meet new ones.

The Cheese Bar
This locally owned gourmet cheese shop and restaurant located at The Boardwalk at Towne Lake is a little outside the loop, but starting mid-June, The Cheese Bar will feature a Rosé and Cheese Flight: three 2-ounce pours of rosé plus three cheese pairings for $20, as well as a rosé class that goes in-depth about rosé and will offer four pairings.

CultureMap's 11 favorite new bars that shook up Houston in 2025

Eclectic vintage finds populate the walk-up bar at Augustine Lounge in Hotel Saint Augustine.

This was a standout year for new bars in Houston, with elevated cocktail lounges opening alongside neighborhood hangouts. Whether you’re after a cold beer while watching the Texans on a Heights patio or a tiny martini inside an emerald-green, celestial-inspired hideaway near the Galleria, these 11 openings defined Houston’s bar scene in 2025.

Augustine Lounge
Hotel Saint Augustine has been racking up awards since it opened — receiving a Michelin Key and best new hotel honors from both Esquire and Travel + Leisure. Its bar, Augustine Lounge, matches that acclaim with a focused drinks program featuring highlights like the Coyote Call, a mix of mezcal, port, and Blackstrap rum accented with raspberry, lime, and nutmeg. The food menu leans elevated but unfussy, with offerings such as a charcuterie board with duck prosciutto and a wagyu hot dog tucked into a brioche bun. It also hosts vinyl nights featuring DJ sets from high profile Houstonians. Augustine Lounge is located at 4110 Loretto Drive and open daily from 11 am-12 am.

Bar Doko
Created by Duckstache Hospitality experts (Kokoro, Handies Douzo, Himari, and Aiko) as a companion to its sushi restaurant Doko, Bar Doko has an intimate, 16-seat atmosphere and an extensive selection of Japanese whisky. Small bites shine here, including a masu crudo topped with smoked trout roe and a Jidori egg salad toast. Beverage options range from highballs, martinis, sake, beer, and wine to inventive cocktails like the “Sora” Sky, made with sesame-infused tequila, Maven cold brew, toasted barley, coffee liqueur, and vanilla miso foam. Bar Doko is located at 3737 Cogdell Street, Suite 135, and is open daily from 4 pm-2 am.

Bar Madonna
One doesn’t need a room at the Marlene Inn — a grand neoclassical home turned nine-room hotel — to enjoy this elegant watering hole. Bar Madonna takes its name from a striking, 10-foot painting of the Virgin Mary, relocated from an 18th-century Italian church. Leading the beverage program is Tom Hardy, formerly of Hotel Saint Augustine, whose menu balances Old World influence with New Orleans flair.

This is a seated-only bar, offering 12 interior seats plus additional patio seating, and while reservations aren’t required, they’re often helpful. Signature libations include the Wild Ouest, a tequila-forward blend with poblano, lime, and mezcal inspired by “cowboy boots down the Champs-Élysées.” Bar Madonna is open Monday-Thursday from 3-10 pm, Friday from 3-11 pm, Saturday from 12-11 pm, and Sunday from 12-10 pm.

Berwick’s Bird of Paradise
A tropical escape awaits at Berwick’s Bird of Paradise, created by veteran bartender Robin Berwick of Midtown's beloved Double Trouble. The space was fully renovated to invoke a resort bar attached to an imaginary hotel, complete with playful design touches and a mythical “owner” depicted on the wall. Tropical drinks anchor the menu — think spicy, frozen tequila riffs and a coconut-infused Crocodile Tears Martini — alongside a selection of bar bites like smash burgers, chicken wings, and a Bikini sandwich. Known colloquially as "Be Bop," the bar has quickly attracted locals, industry regulars, and neighbors. Open Tuesday-Thursday from 4 pm-12 am, Friday-Saturday from 3 pm-1 am, and Sunday from 2 pm-10 pm, Berwick’s Bird of Paradise is at 2020 Studewood Street.

Donna’s
The newest cocktail destination on this list, Donna’s quickly built a following after opening Thanksgiving weekend in the former Ready Room space. Named after the grandmother of co-founder Jacki Schromm, the bar is a collaboration between the veteran bartender and Anvil owner Bobby Heugel. Together, the duo aims to create a house-party atmosphere, with energetic weekends balanced by more laid-back weeknights. A vintage stereo system — complete with a reel-to-reel and a turntable — sets the soundtrack, loud enough to entertain but low enough for conversations. The Jacki’s Martini, a 50-50 mix of gin with Cocchi Americano and Dolin Blanc vermouth, nods to both the “Bobby’s Martini” at Refuge and Squable’s “Terry’s Martini.” Donna's is open daily from 2 pm-2 am at 2626 White Oak Drive.

Endless Bummer
Walk the line between Houston and hell at Endless Bummer, the tiki bar next to Beteleguese Beteleguese’s Montrose location. Skeletons, imps, and tiki idols fill the 50-seat space, turning Endless Bummer into an immersive experience displaying works by local artists. The cocktail menu reimagines tropical standards like daiquiris, mai tais, and punches, while originals include the Banana Hammock — a banana-coffee vodka drink — and the Bitter Bird, made with Jamaican rum, Campari, pineapple, yuzu, and strawberry. Located at 4500 Montrose Boulevard, Endless Bummer is open Wednesday-Sunday, from 5 pm-12 am.

Good God, Nadine’s
Designed to feel like the home of “everyone’s favorite eccentric aunt,” Good God, Nadine’s delivers a warm, casual atmosphere paired with playful, comfort-forward drinks. The Washington Corridor bar offers 17 beers and wines on tap, along with cocktails like the Mango Sticky Rice, made with vodka, coconut milk, mango, and pandan. Food options range from po' boys to cast-iron cornbread and oysters on the half shell. Patrons can choose between three distinct areas: an indoor bar, an air-conditioned patio, and a garden patio. Good God, Nadine’s sits at 33 Waugh Drive, and is open Tuesday-Saturday from 4 pm-12 am, and Sunday from 12 pm-8 pm.

The Kid
With a comfortable bartop, moody-but-visible lighting, and ample seating — The Kid nails the feel of a classic neighborhood hang. Inside, charming baby goat figurines — aka “kids” — peek out from behind chicken wire room dividers, while an astroturfed patio outside offers a prime spot to catch a game. From the team behind Flying Fish, Flying Saucer, and Rodeo Goat, the bar continues the group’s tradition of approachable comfort food, including burgers and loaded tater tots. Drink options include the La Fresita, a refreshing creation of tequila, strawberry, peach, lemon, and prosecco. Happy hour is weekdays from 4 pm-7 pm, with $8 cocktails and wines, plus an all-day happy hour on Tuesdays. Located at 1815 N. Durham Drive, The Kid is open Monday-Thursday, 4 pm-12 am, and Friday and Saturday, 4 pm-2 am.

Moon
Perched above Tavola, Moon is an elegant cocktail lounge inspired by the cosmos. A joint concept from the Bastion Collection — the hospitality group behind Michelin-starred Le Jardinier at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston — and Cafe Natalie, Moon’s food options range from a black truffle croque monsieur to the Dark Side of the Moon, a chocolate moelleux with hazelnut crunch. House cocktails like the Nightfall, featuring spiced WhistlePig rye, dark rum, Oloroso sherry, and cherry, sit alongside classics such as French 75s, wines, mocktails, tiny martinis, and shots. For those craving something off-menu, head bartender Joao Diniz is known for crafting bespoke drinks on request. Moon is located at 1800 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 6110, and is open Tuesday-Thursday from 5 pm-12 am, and Friday and Saturday from 5 pm-2 am.

Starduster Lounge
There’s something both nostalgic and timeless about Starduster Lounge, a Heights neighborhood bar that puts a subtle cosmic spin on West Texas style. Will Thomas, co-founder of White Oak Music Hall and owner of Dan Electro’s, teamed up with Benjy Mason of Johnny’s Gold Brick and Winnie’s to transform the nearly 100-year-old building into a charming destination with a rustic yet refined interior of leather, vintage tile, and wood, and a spacious, tree-shaded backyard. The menu is constantly evolving, but standout drinks include the Pecan or Pecan?, with rye, bourbon, and Licor 43. Steak night is on Thursdays, with other food offerings announced via the bar’s Instagram. Happy hour is Monday-Friday, 4 pm-6 pm, with half-off cocktails. Starduster Lounge is located at 3921 N. Main and is open Monday-Friday from 4 pm-2 am, and Saturday and Sunday from 2 pm-2 am.

CultureMap editor Eric Sandler's Honorable Mention: Montrose Grocer
Building on her experience as the owner of Avondale Food & Wine and Heights Grocer, Houston entrepreneur Mary Clarkson opened this wine shop next to Catbirds. What distinguishes it from Heights Grocer is that MG also has a carefully-chosen selection of wines by-the-glass and bottle available for drinking on-site. Paired with snacks in the form of sandwiches and charcuterie boards and enhanced by a soundtrack of 4,000 records, Montrose Grocer has become a popular spot with hospitality workers and wine lovers who appreciate its low key atmosphere and affordable prices. (Full disclosure: Clarkson and Sandler are friends. She is a regular contributor to CultureMap's "What's Eric Eating" podcast.)
