The OG of Houston wine bars invites everyone to visit on Bastille Day, even if they just need to get out of their house for A/C and to charge their phones. On July 14, the bar will celebrate with a discount on all French wines, all night long. They are also bringing back the beloved melted raclette for Sunday only. Cheers to that!

FOR ALL YOU Instagram lovers who eat with your eyes, the wait is over. Dallas-based GAP Concepts is laying on the feminine charm in The Shops at Arrive River Oaks (née West Ave). The visual feast that is PostScript flaunts pops of pink and interiors inspired by the caterpillar-to-butterfly metamorphosis. You’ll recognize the new restaurant’s style — and wonder if Barbie will wander in — if familiar with the group’s XOXO Dining Room Dallas.
