Sixty Vines Rice Village

Sixty Vines Rice Village is a wine bar and restaurant at the meeting point of University Boulevard and Kirby Drive. The two-story venue sits within Rice Village near Rice University, with a layout that brings together dining areas, an open exhibition kitchen, a dedicated charcuterie bar, and a greenhouse patio.

Wine is central to the experience. The list includes 60 wines served from sustainable taps, with selections spanning Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Loire Sauvignon Blanc, Italian Sangiovese, Argentinian Malbec, and other styles. The tap format allows the restaurant to offer a range of pours in a setting that feels more social than formal, while still giving wine-focused diners room to explore different regions and grapes.

The kitchen keeps the menu oriented toward sharing. Wood-fired pizzas, handcrafted charcuterie boards, seasonal starters, and pairing-friendly entrées give tables several ways to build a meal, whether the occasion calls for a few small plates or a longer dinner. The menu structure also suits groups with different preferences, since the meal can be assembled across several categories rather than around a single main course.

The open kitchen adds an active focal point to the dining room, while the charcuterie bar reinforces the wine-and-snacks character of the restaurant. The greenhouse patio extends that atmosphere outdoors with a wine-garden setting. Together, the indoor and patio spaces provide options for casual dining, drinks, and shared meals in Rice Village.

Three naturally lit private rooms accommodate gatherings ranging from corporate events to wedding celebrations. Weekend brunch adds another reason to visit, with service on Saturday and Sunday. Weekday happy hour is available in the bar and lounge, offering selected discounts on wine pours, specialty cocktails, brews, and shared plates. Sixty Vines Rice Village suits diners looking for a wine-led restaurant with shareable food, an open kitchen, and several settings for social dining or private occasions.
