Starbucks set to serve beer, wine at some stores in The Woodlands

This fall, the popular spot for getting that morning caffeine fix may also become the place to go after work to wind down with a beer or glass of wine.

With its latest business initiative, Starbucks Coffee Co. is introducing Starbucks Evenings - where it will serve craft beer, wine and small plates - and three Woodlands area locations will be among the stores launching the new service this fall.

The Starbucks on Grogan's Mill Road at Sawdust Road, the one at Woodlands Parkway near FM 2978 and the one at Kuykendahl Road and Louetta Road in Spring will be included in one of the first waves of stores to feature Starbucks Evenings, as the company gradually rolls out the concept to its thousands of U.S. locations. Other area stores expect to incorporate the evening menu next year.

As part of the evening menu, the stores will offer an assortment of wines that was developed by the company's in-house sommelier, craft beers selected by regional popularity and small plates, such as bacon-wrapped dates, truffle mac and cheese and chicken sausage and mushroom flatbreads.

The evening menu will start at 4 p.m. and will range from $6 to $14.
