Brians Wine & More

I’ve never been to the wine store but the wine bar is always a blast. Come with friends and looking to have a good time – it’s less of a date place and more of a keep-​the-​wine-​flowing with friends place. They’re good at finding tasty quaffing wines that go down easy. It used to be run by a guy named Anton, but he’s now opening a restaurant in Deep Ellum called Off the Bone. Couldn’t be more excited about it.
Pro-​Tip: BYOF. If you don’t you might be jealous of other patrons’ pizzas.

Get thee to Brians wine bar! What a great neighborhood spot! The wine selection is fantastic and the bartenders Anton and Garrett are fantastic. Be prepared to meet an amazing group of regulars … Who have figured it out and therefore come here for a reason! Get here soon!

Brian’s is a very welcoming, relaxing and unpretencious wine bar. Great place hang out, catch up with friends or chat up the bartender.

Love this place so much. Great place to try a bunch of really tasty wines at excellent prices.
Also has great cheese plate options.

This is Dallas’ best kept secret! Brians Wine is actually two stores next to each other, one is a retail (dog friendly) wine store that you can run in and buy a bottle, a case or the entire place! Next door is the «bar» area that is cozy ad gives you a Cheers! vibe.
I’ve spent more time in the bar area than the actual retail store and have never had a bad experience. It seems like the same crowd is always here and it is truly a neighborhood gem. The bar is dog friendly and you can get food delivered, too so it is the perfect place to meet friends on a chilly evening when you want to just enjoy your company.
They have a great wine and beer selection and TVs, too so its a good place to catch a game with a few friends, too!

My wife and I regularly go to Brian’s wine. We love the «neighbourhood» feel of the place, the staff are friendly, and the clientele are nice. The wine selection is very good, with bottles in varied price ranges. They even have a bottle store you can purchase from if you find a new favourite. I feel that great service is made up of the small things, and the staff is very focused on making your experience a good one, from being attentive to your taste in wine, to keeping your water glass full. A note on the water: not sure if this is some in house filtered water, or some type of spring or glazier water, but it is the best I have had in Dallas. I notice that when Garret is tending the wine bar it seems to be better than when others are working. Keep up the good work Garret, it’s Platinum level water service!

Although the biggest complaint is no parking, there are all sorts of street parking nearby. The bartender is awesome and really knows his stuff. Although it is a wine bar, there are plenty of beers to choose from too. Def check it out.

My all-​time favorite! Pup friendly, great staff, wonderful selection! Anton at the counter makes great recommendations and can help pick you out a new favorite based upon your preferences. The ambiance is light and fun — definitely not stuffy or snooty like some wine bars. On any given night, you could walk in and see patrons playing card games or dominoes, a string quartet playing off to the side or a football (or any other sport for that matter) watching party with a great spread for all to enjoy. Perfect for a low key date night or a fun night with good friends.
They have a small parking lot out front, but they welcome parking in the alley, in the back and on the street.

A hidden gem of winey good times!
They have a great wine (and beer) selection. A healthy crop of welcoming regulars. A knowledgeable South African resident wine guy.
You can bring your own food and snacks if you like (we grabbed some naan and appetisers from Roti Grill) — or talk to the bar manager and he can whip you up a decent cheese and meat plate.
GREAT for bookclubs, wine clubs, etc.

A nice place for Friday night. This place is quiet and cozy, allowing you to really talk to your friends.
The owner is a nice and generous guy. He always pours a large glass of wine to you. He charged us less than what we suppose to pay.
The customers are friendly type as well. I like this place!

The Brian’s Wine Bar is hidden behind the retail store. Parking is a bit tight but there’s some around if you look hard enough. The bar itself is small but cozy. They have a decent selection of wine as well as beer. The customers here seemed more laid back and relaxed as compared to the other «popular» wine bars in the area. I wasn’t able to meet the owner but the guy working was just as nice. He even let us behind the counter to take a good look at the beer selection before making our choice. I would consider this place a hidden gem in the sea of douchery and bro-​tards in Uptown. Come here to enjoy your company over a good beverage.

Quiet & Quaint is how I would describe this place. Very welcoming.
I shared with Antone (he works there) that I like Chardonnay. He immediately pulled a Dante and sat it on the counter for me to view. I asked if it was American. He shared that «it is, however it is not at bitter and full bodied as most other American chardonnays.» I described to him the regions from which I like my wines. I say all this to say, he is very knowledgeable when it comes to the selections they care and those that just generally exist.
After seeing him make a cheese, meat and cracker plate, I was debating ordering one myself. It was just too huge for just one person, unless you will be there for hours and hours or are beyond famished. Antone let me try the honey almond cheese, and it was really, really good. It was a soft cheese, with slivered almonds on top and honey drizzle over. Brian’s Wines really doesn’t have a kitchen area, there is a small refrigeration and prepping table behind the bar, where they make the cheese plates. I was informed that because they do not have a food menu, they do allow patrons from time to time to order pizza from local places for delivery, to eat in.
I leave hear with the constant reminder to Support Local Small Business.

Very comfy place, the owners serve you and the atmosphere is awesome. Try the organic raspberry beer. I hate beer, but this one was GREAT!

Such a charming neighborhood wine bar! My friend introduced me to this place on a cold, rainy night when we were looking for somewhere cozy to drink our dinner (don’t judge us). They have a nice selection of wines, and the bartender, Anton, makes a mean cheese and cracker plate. Actually, that’s not a fair description… really it’s SO much more than a cheese and cracker plate… it’s a smörgåsbord. We told Anton to surprise us, and he really went all out — our plate included prosciutto, serrano ham, salami, 5 – 6 types of cheese, veggies, and an assortment of crackers that kept us happily snacking through our bottle and a half of wine (again, don’t judge us). The interior of this place is cozy and homey — lots of dim lighting, comfy seating, and an ambiance that makes you feel like you’re just hanging out in a friend’s living room. There are lots of regulars, and everyone seems to know each other. One lady even brought her friendly dog in to greet everyone on my most recent visit. This place is going on my regular rotation of favorite spots!

While visiting w/​friends, they took us here for an amazing BBQ & Rose’ wine tasting. Brian grills the goods up himself, while another pours and telling you about each tasting. It’s $ 10 and on Sunday, so be sure to check it out!

I first stumbled into this little gem when my basset hound made a beeline for the air conditioning as we walked past the open doorway. It was mid-​afternoon and the place was empty, so Bruce kindly obliged my basset on a little free a/​c, and we left 30 minutes later with my new favorite South African pinotage. I have since returned many times because Brian’s has the best selection of moderately priced wines I’ve found in Dallas. They always stock a lots of unique wines that you can’t pick up at other places, so it is a great spot for gifts.

We were just in the private room for a bridal shower, but the guys at Brian’s really took care of us!
There are tall tables, standard height tables, and booths – a good place to stand and mingle or sit and eat.
They provided all the food too. Cheeses, meats, dates, veggies. It was a very nice spread!
I would definitely like to come back again. Especially for more wine!

Tucked behind the retail portion of Brian’s Wine & More is a very welcoming Wine Bar.
Our group of girls happened upon the place on our way home from dinner when the genius of the group suggested we stop somewhere for «just one more drink».
The owner promptly came by our table and asked if we would like to try any of the wines. The boss of the group suggested a Tempranillo. To our surprise he brought the one she requested along with 2 others he recommended we try. He was knowledgeable and passionate about his wines and enjoyed bringing several additional wines for the table to try as «just one» turned into «ok, we’ll have another».
And for the nondrinkers they have nonalcoholic options for you as well.
