Vino bars have long been renowned for their cold pomp and sass. Despite its chilly moniker, Midtown wine bar 13 Celsius doesn't share this philosophy with its xenophile counterparts. (P.s.- the name comes from the optimal temperature that wines are stored in their cellar). The 1920's Mediterranean-esque venue offers a warm and accommodating interior, comfortable enough for after work drinks as well as cozy seating ideal for date night convo.  The heart of this Houston wine bar showcases a candle-lit patio ready to enjoy a late night smoke with your vintage of choice. Sip on cappuccino made by an antique Italian espresso machine or nibble on an artisan assortment of cheese, meat and sandwich platters while mingling at the impressive 40 foot white marble bar. If you're short on dollar bills (read: broke,) stop by on Sunday nights for half price vino and bites. Cool runnings indeed.
