Departure Lounge

Thank you Departure Lounge
for making children and parents happy every day!

Thank you for your kindness and exclusive style to keep the taste of travel at the highest level.

Thank you for the great opportunity to fill our lives with bright colors.

This is a upscale downtown coffee/wine bar. When you walk it is bright, open and welcoming. It is the type of place you can bring a client or if you dressed up etc nice place to take a date for a glass of wine.
The staff are knowledgeable and helpful.
The wine is pretty unique too. Not something you are going to find at the local HEB etc. When I am downtown I like to go here. It is not as loud and crazy. I can get a nice coffee and sit and feel relaxed.

One of the few wine bars that are on the west side of downtown. We came here for happy hour after work on Thursday. They had a great selection of wines for a flight and an amazing cheese plate. If you're looking for something low-key to do on a Friday -they are hosting a classic film night (don't recommend going if you're looking for something more lively). I was afraid they would be forcing me to book travel, but both times I've been were an amazing time with friends without any discussion of booking a trip with them.

My partner and I were visiting his family and we always wanted to go and experience an evening at Departure Lounge. From the moment we stepped out of the elevator on the 15th floor our evening began with the great decor and the warm welcome from the staff. We got our cocktails and stepped out on the patio and enjoyed the skyline of the city. There were eight in our party and we had a Beautiful booth. We decided to just get small plates (a lot) and every plate was just an unbelievable experience from presentation to taste. The service was also excellent. Big shout out to the chef, amazing!!!!!

A big thank you to Laura and the staff at departure lounge travel planning specialist.

Our experience was excellent and I'm glad they're in great shape in the post covid era.

They helped me and my family plan our next vacation and everything was very smooth. I definitely recommend them to our friends and family are the trips that require a little bit more coordination and experience from a trusted friend is helpful.

I called Departure Lounge to help me plan a trip to Kauai. In addition, because I love the atmosphere at their location. I found a travel agent named Andrea Keene. She was super helpful in the planning process and the time slot in which we were able to travel there could not have worked out more perfectly in between the Island re-opening post Covid and pre-Delta. Andrea paid so much attention to detail and we absolutely loved the place that we stayed. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Andrea and I were in touch after our trip and we were able to share local info for her future clients. I will definitely use them again for any and all upcoming Vacations. Thank you Andrea for helping make our trip so very special!!

Departure lounge has a great atmosphere, I bring my laptop here alot to work. Order their chocolate chip cookie and ask for it to be warmed up; delicious. They also have a great wine selection.

I have used Departur Lounge for two vacations recently. Laura and her team have done an excellent job throughout the whole process. She even was able to help us change a trip at the literal last minute due to a hurricane! I would highly recommend her and her team

Departure Lounge is super unique. Not only is it a wine and coffee bar, but also a travel agency. The idea is to inspire you to travel through the decor, travel books, and wines from around the world and then get you where you want to go.

Good atmosphere. Delicious bites. Nice wine selection.

8/27/16 Back again. Another relaxing visit waiting for the pride parade.

Cool vibe, unique wines, and amazing travel inspiration with travel advisors who are great collaborators and connected around the world via the Virtuoso network. But then I am biased as I'm an investor - so don't believe me just check it out for yourself.

This place is a really classy place to hang out. They have wines from all over the world, coffee, and a travel agency. It's a nice place to relax and enjoy a tasty beverage!

Excellent staff, great vendor presentations. Knowledgeable folks that great to work with and help even when things change during your travel.

Comfortable place to relax with a coffee or a glass of wine right across from the park. Friendly service.

Great travel agency. I think the time where online search has really replaced travel agencies, it's really nice to find a hidden gem.

Great place if you are into lounge music, as am I. Sometimes waiting for a departure can be boring, but not with a little Julie London or Tom Jones.

Nice selection of wines. Nice atmosphere. Nice everything!

Super good latte! The staff was very friendly and helpful!!

Cool little joint for coffee, wine, or a snack

Great experience!
