The inspiration for MAX’s Wine Dive restaurant and wine bar came after realizing that while we (owners Jerry and Laura Lasco) love trying out fancy new restaurants, the places we most enjoy hanging out are laid-back places that are unpretentious and comfortable.
Shortly thereafter, the Wine Dive mantra was created:
“Fried Chicken and Champagne?… Why the Hell Not?!”
At MAX’s Wine Dive, we’re all about bringing “gourmet comfort food” to our guests alongside a constantly curated selection of wines from around the world, some of which cannot be found anywhere else, all served with a down-to-earth, rock-n-roll style.
MAX’s Wine Dive Houston opened to much fanfare in December, 2006, and has been an award-winning hit ever since. One of the first restaurants to occupy the now bustling Washington Avenue corridor, MAX’s Wine Dive helped set the bar for the quality of food and wine in the area.
MAX’s Wine Dive is a restaurant and wine bar that’s fun, funky, eclectic and a complete juxtaposition that captures the qualities of a casual, industrial feel with a top-notch food and wine program. The menu consists of two pages—the first of which contains Wine Dive Classics that are common to all Wine Dive locations. On the other half of the menu, you will find seasonal changes, unique to each location, comprised of the Chef’s creativity and local ingredients. And don’t forget the wine—if you find ones you like, take some home with you! Ignoring the typical mark-up you see at most restaurants, we offer quality wines at reasonable prices.
MAX’s Wine Dive appeals to diners who are hungry for all the rich flavors of fine dining without the stodginess that often accompanies a “fine-dining” experience. Serving up dinner seven days a week, tasty brunch rocking out Friday through Sunday, and happy hour deals Monday through Friday, we’re certain you will find what you like here at our Washington Ave. Wine Dive location.
So come in, grab some wine and rock out to the jukebox as we serve you up a meal you won’t forget!
