25 Best Wine Bars near Brookline

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“I ordered yesterday (June 13) a variety of sandwiches in different sizes from Putterham Grille for a 12-person event, and everyone was genuinely impressed! The quality of the food exceeded our expectations — fresh ingredients, generous portions, and great flavors. It was clear that care went into each sandwich, and the variety kept everyone happy. I highly recommend.“

“Quality ingredients. A sublime attention to detail. Balance in salty, umami and heat. The broccoli Caesar is a must have along with the homemade ricotta. I sat at Chefs counter and got wonderful attention from everyone. Amazing!“

“I love the wine and food but the service provided here has been so special the two times I've gone! My first time the bartenders chatted with us and were hilarious the entire time. The second our server was amazing and educational and patient, as we had limited knowledge of wines. They even ran after me through the street when I left a flower I'd been carrying behind! So sweet. I don't know your name but thank you to the first wine slinger pictured on the website!“

“Never disappoints. Small plates and a few entrees. Extensive wine offerings. Superb service.“

“some very great things about Frenchie. The food was well prepared and well seasoned. The service was very prompt and engaging. Three people were celebrating their birthdays and a group of staff joyously joined in singing warmly to the candle recipients, including at our table. The problem is that the facility is looking warn down.The tables are badly in need of refinishing.The place could use a deep clean particularly the window in the patio are at the back. The rest rooms was stocked but grungy. The ambiance was truly hampered by the worn out feel of the facilities. Given the strong quality of the food,the setting should be on the same level.“

“Great service and atmosphere! I was here mid afternoon on a weekday but I'm sure it's a fun place to watch sporting events on the weekends. Had the turkey club which was tasty with a little kick, and huge as evidenced by the half I took to go. Will definitely come back!“

“This is the first review I've ever written (seriously!), and to be honest I'm writing it as I sit here with a friend of mine looking at the website, talking about miscellaneous stuff (like me not having ever written a review), and I was telling her about when my partner and I went to Zuzu's Petals a couple of years ago (my friend will be in Cambridge soon and I was giving her a recommendation).

We love this place! We're not regulars as we only go to Boston occasionally to see my partner's sister and family, but whenever we're in town we try to go at least one night. It's so refreshing to have a space with no phones, at least for a little while, YA KNOW?!? Of course I'm writing this on a screen, so the irony is not lost on me, but a break from screens? I'll take it.

Last time we were there the record player (vinyl, of course!) was playing Bowie, Stones among others - again, refreshing to hear full albums - and I think we had a cheese plate and few glasses of wine and of course dessert. It's always been a nice time for us and we highly recommend! And thus dear reader we reach the conclusion of my post: my friend and I both agree, since I'm sharing this restaurant suggestion with her, why not share it with the world?!?!? (Like I said, it's my first time and this was fun to write...)“

“From start to finish it was awesome!!! Food, drinks and service were amazing! Rodi was an amazing hostess, thank you for the awesome experience. Patrick, Annelice and Breana. Ps. Romania 🇷🇴 here we come. 😂“

“nathalie was amazing! staff was so nice, attentive, friendly, and helpful. they offered us great recommendation. food was really good too, albeit limited. I love that they will do half bottles of any of the bottles on the menu, and then you can get a glass if someone else opened a bottle already. it really makes for a lot of options which i appreciated. I had a mediocre experience at haley.henly but this experience made me want to give their sister bar another shot. overall, great experience! highly recommend!“

“Very Energetic! Bartender was fantastic“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.“

“Great romantic spot for a casual date. Fun staff great wines, good music, killer ambiance“

“Great experience, our waiter Brian gave us Great service and recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Steak melts in your mouth!“

“Amazing restaurant, I love it. ♥️♥️♥️“

“I had not been in almost a year and I forgot how amazing Giulia is. The Service was outstanding. the food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was perfect. Oysters/Corn Pasta/Foccacia/.......just perfect right down to the panacotta! Thank you very much TEAM GIULIA!“

“Really glad I found this spot. Has a chill, cozy vibe — the kind of place you end up staying longer than planned. The wine selection is thoughtful without being overwhelming, and the staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. I had a glass of red they suggested and it was spot on. Brie appetizer? Ridiculously good. definitely get it if it’s on the menu. Whether you’re popping in for a quick glass or settling in for the night, this place just gets it right.“

“The service there was outstanding, and the server was one of the nicest and most professional people I've ever met. I definitely plan to go back and specifically request her service again. Overall, the restaurant has the friendliest staff, and everyone treats you with respect and dignity.“

“Elegant, thoughtful menu and wine pairings. Highly recommend trying the themed menu offerings. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Incredible! I dine here all the time.“

“By far the best, authentic Italian food in the North End. We have dined at several restaurants but the service, ambience and food is the best! They make their own pasta and sauces daily. I cannot recommend Casarecce enough. Delicioso.“

“Such a cute place and the staff are so knowledgeable. I don’t know much about wine but with a simple conversation about what I like they are always able to help me find something I love that’s also new and exciting.

The food is also delicious. Simple but well balanced and the salads are out of this world. The cod and whatever bean dish they are serving at the time are my other go-tos.“

“The food was beyond amazing! The vibe of the restaurant was magnificent and the service exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly and respectfully attended to throughout our dining experience. This restaurant has now made it to our top 10 local restaurants as this was our 3rd consecutive visit. I definitely recommend Boston Restaurant Bar & Grill.“
