Travis Heights Beverage World

You've probably passed by Beverage World plenty of times; it’s found on the I-35 access road next door to beer and Indian food hangout, Whip In. While the exterior may be modest, the treasure trove of unique and hard-to-find spirits, wines and beers inside is unbelievable. Owner Rohit Topiwala started buying beer and wine for Whip In in 1993 and after noticing that many customers were asking for liquor, seized the opportunity to open Beverage World in 2003 when the adjacent space was up for lease. Rohit was joined by Eric Pelegrin, former chef at Chez Nous, who serves as the shop's wine buyer. Beverage World is revered amongst both connoisseurs for their ability to secure exceptional bottles and by neighborhood residents as the place to stop and grab a bottle of limited edition craft beer, rosé and even of-the-moment natural wine.
