Little Death Wine Bar
Neighborhood: Tobin Hill
Address: 2327 N St Mary’s St, San Antonio, TX 78212
For a funkier experience at a place that is definitely not your parent’s wine bar, head to Little Death. Serving up wine without the pretension, they stock a graffiti-covered converted gas station floor to ceiling with bottles available for purchase. Stay, chat, drink a glass, and nibble because local food pop-ups, like an airstream serving up oysters, share the space outside on a rotating basis. Eclectic, irreverent, and fun, check out their Instagram account, where they post events.
As far as wine, their impressive selection displays reasonably priced and predominantly European varieties, although they also feature some American and local vintages. Run by a knowledgeable and helpful staff, they can steer you through their wide selection to find a new favorite to try with a cheese plate and some sourdough bread.
What to Order:
Little Death specializes in wines you won’t find at the grocery store. Touted as “a cool place to find unique and funky wines,” we recommend pinging the staff to ask for something interesting based on your preferences.
