“The trend of wine bars-slash-bottle shops in Austin continues with the latest coming attraction: Flo’s Wine Bar & Bottle Shop will open at 3111 West 35th Street in Tarrytown starting sometime in 2023. Accompany the wine bar/store is a location of the already-great pizzeria Allday Pizza.

There will be over 250 labels available by the glass and bottle for on-site drinking, as well as to-go. Allday Pizza will offer a menu of pies and slices for lunch and dinner. Then there will be salads, meatballs, and soft-serve gelato. There will be indoor and outdoor spaces.

Flo’s co-founders and co-owners Flo Clemons and Adair Belisle, who have been friends since they were little, wanted to open a neighborhood-friendly hangout spot in the area.” Via Eater, by Nadia Chaudury.
