Attention Kroger shoppers: There's a new bar on Aisle 9. Heights Kroger, 1035 N. Shepherd, recently got a new Cork & Tap, Kroger's in-store beer and wine bar.

The bar is part of Kroger's remodel of the Heights store that started in February and is set to be completed this week.

This is the third Cork & Tap in the Houston area: Kroger has one in Cypress at 20355 Cypresswood Dr., and in Katy at 1712 Spring Green Blvd.

The Heights' Cork & Tap features 12 beer taps, and eight red wines and eight white wines on tap. There is a two glass limit per person.

The Heights store also happens to boast Kroger's largest beer and wine selection in the state. The location carries 2,000 different wines and 750 beers (a 20 percent increase in both categories before the remodel). Customers who purchase wine in the store will be allowed to open the wine to be enjoyed at the bar.

Cork & Tap at Heights Kroger operates Monday through Thursday from 2 to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from noon to 8 p.m.
