The Elgin Owl

The Elgin Owl is a wine bar and home goods store in historic downtown Elgin, Texas, described as the town's first home goods store. It sells unique vintage home goods and furniture alongside a boutique wine list, local and favorite beers, and a small menu of appetizers, including local Meyer's sausage and cheese and a Mediterranean plate. Most appetizers can be made gluten-free.

The Owl hosts a wide calendar of events, wine tastings and happy hours, with seating in the bar and on a private patio. Its numbers suggest a steady following, with more than 800 events hosted. It is a good option for an evening out close to home, and it sits at 106 N. Main St. in downtown Elgin.
