35 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.“

“" just like to say that Putterhamgrille did the best job on my passover meal, Friday was so busy but the staff/team at Putterham was so organized they had everything ready as soon as I walked in the door, also besides my regular set order, the gentleman at the front helped me select more delicious sides to go with my Passover meal"“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“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!“

“Popped in on a visit to Boston and was thoroughly impressed. Very intricate list, with adventurous but thoughtful picks and a staff knowledgeable enough to guide you through it. The half bottle allowance is a game changer - could easily splurge without feeling guilty here. Super happy for it to be on my radar and grateful for their suggestions for other wine hubs in the Boston area.“

“Cozy and intimate spot with a good variety of wine options that seem to change often. Make sure you get reservations because there aren't a lot of tables. There are some small snack options like a cheese board, and deserts, too. The creme brulee and chocolate cake are really tasty!“

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

“Y’ALLLLLL. As someone who truly hates american brunch/diner spots this is the best best place I have ever tried. So many brunch places all taste the same, and the chefs are always scared of seasoning for whatever reasoning. I got their cinnabon pancakes, a friend got their nashville chicken and waffles, another got their breakfast sammy, homefries and another dish I can’t remember. Regardless everyone’s food was amazing. I was genuinely geeking out by how good the food was! I finally found a good brunch spot! Thanks guys! Food is TENNN“

“I celebrated my graduation brunch at Frenchie, and everything was absolutely amazing! There were about 20 of us, and we booked the greenhouse. The space was beautiful, and I was able to decorate it exactly how I wanted. Andres was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and was just as helpful during the actual event, checking in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and had everything we needed. Our servers were extremely attentive, the food and drinks were amazing, and everything ran smoothly. I’m so happy I got to celebrate such a big milestone in such a beautiful space with an amazing staff. I will certainly be back!“

“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. 😂“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

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

“My mom and I got a light dinner and drinks and absolutely loved it. The food was phenomenal. My mom’s favorite was the broccoli and I couldn’t decide my fave between the broccoli, chicken skewers, and brussel sprouts. Allergies were so well cared for. We will definitely be back.“

“We had an incredible experience at Grill 23 & Bar — easily the best steakhouse we’ve been to in Boston. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was phenomenal. We ordered both the filet mignon and the ribeye, and each steak was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The sides were just as memorable — the macaroni and cheese was rich and comforting, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly prepared, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. Adding the Béarnaise sauce on the side was absolutely worth it and paired beautifully with the steaks. Dessert was the perfect ending: warm chocolate chip cookies served with vanilla ice cream — simple, classic, and done flawlessly. A huge highlight of the evening was our waiter, Bernardo. We will absolutely be requesting him on future visits. He offered thoughtful suggestions, anticipated our needs effortlessly, and somehow managed to be there exactly when we needed him — and never when we didn’t, if that makes sense. Just genuinely attentive, professional, and welcoming service that elevated the entire experience. An unforgettable dinner all around. We can’t wait to come back.“

“Tatiana was not only a superb waitress, but managed the floor hosting and held down the kitchen cooking while she was severely understaffed. To say she was a woman of many hats would be an accurate statement. The wine was spectacular, and the food was second to none, specifically the eggplant. This is your place to go for delicious food and wine in southie.“

“Small, curated selection of unusual wines and fun cocktails. Bartenders are friendly and give detailed descriptions if you ask. I had the champagne cocktail and a glass of 'orange' wine (white wine fermented with the grape skins and seeds).“

“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.“

“Very Energetic! Bartender was fantastic“

“I love when a place is so good I want to spend my uber ride writing about it. My friend and I popped in for dessert and drinks and I’m so happy we did. The apple cake was probably my best bite of the year so far. The girls working are the nicest most accommodating people ever. Everything about this place is intentional yet cozy. I simply can’t wait to go back!“

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

“The food here was absolutely amazing, but what truly made our night so special was our waiter, Diego! He was incredibly nice, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire evening. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. If you are planning a visit and want to ensure a great night, I highly recommend asking for Diego. Thank you so much, Diego, for an unforgettable evening!“

“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.“

“First time there the food was great would recommend to anyone who is in Boston.“

“Incredible! I dine here all the time.“

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

“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.“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“Food: WOW! Their tapas were amazing. Best spot I have ever had in Boston. We ordered 4 among the 3 of us and it was the perfect portion. I will be dreaming about all of them!!!

Service: Tapas were pretty fast! Service was good. No complaints.

Ambiance: SO clean inside! Bathrooms were super clean, lots of space to put coats and stuff too. Loved the interior design as well.“

“First time at Bubble Bath after a recommendation from a friend to check it out. So happy with everything. Drinks were top notch. Views of Boston and Cambridge added to the ambience and great DJ playing good music. The caviar biscuit is a nice bump of caviar on a savory biscuit. Highly recommend for the views and drinks and service.“

“Delicious food and great ambiance! We will come back!“

“I love this restaurant! Great food 🇵🇱“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Pizza is really good and both appetizers we shared were delicious, enough for 6 people.

Why I wasnt a big fan of this place:
1. My white wine wasnt very chilled and my friend’s paloma cocktail wasnt a hit.
2. And before it has been 1.5 hours even they just brought the check to the table which is kind of a mood killer for me.
3. When I asked to get black pepper for the pizzas, one waiter said we dont have it…. then a few minutes later it was brought in a little dish - how do you not have peppper in a pizza restaurant?“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“
