Really fun wine selection and the staff will explain everything to you, plus taste. Fun modern vibe, but very, very small space.

My favorite place in bow market — the service here is exceptional and the wine is even better. Its small, but there is a lot of outdoor seating!

Great wine list, seasonal plates that are creative without being fussy (the gem salad and spicy chicken sandwich are addictive), and a staff that makes everyone feel like a regular. Perfect low-key date spot or catch-up-with-friends energy. Somerville neighborhood spot and destination wine bar all in one.

Rebel Rebel is one of my favorite spots in Bow Market. The vibe is warm and welcoming, the team knows their wine inside and out, and every pour feels thoughtful. I’ve always had a great experience here — it’s the perfect place to relax with a genuinely good glass of wine.

Fantastic menu of unique wines (many, if not all, are natural wines). Staff are really lovely and helped me and my husband select wines that we enjoyed very much. The space is intimate and has a great vibe. If I lived nearby, I'd be a regular for sure.

Was refused clean glassware. I came back to the bar for 2 more glasses of wine, bar tender asked me what glass was used by who, I said I don’t know can I just get two clean glasses, “No, we hand wash our glasses”, then proceeded to pour wine into the used glasses. Nice wine bar, right?

my wine was served in the same plastic cup i sampled it in. cute place but was very confused. 2 stars because i did get to stroll throughout somerville with a cup of wine, but in that case i would’ve just gotten it from the store.

The obnoxious and immature replies from the owner to customer comments on here says a lot about this place.
Great wine selection. Love just grabbing a glass of something unusual and heading to the outdoor seating for a sip.

Lauren and crew are awesome and so deeply knowledgeable. Ask them questions, get recommendations, meet your neighbors. That's what's great about such a tiny space, face time with staff! Don't sweat the autograt, you were gonna tip 20% anyway. Support your local wine nerds.

Read through the replies of the owner to some of the one star reviews. Supremely immature and unprofessional. They seriously should try treating people with a little more respect.
This place is actually quite cool, but it rips you off with what is essentially a hidden fee. You get a glass of wine that’s listed for $17, but end up paying $25 because of automatic 20% gratuity. I’m fine with paying a tip, but it should not be automatically included. Also, 20% tip for pouring a glass of wine is kinda crazy. I get if I’m seated getting served a meal, or if I’m getting a fancy cocktail. But not for just pouring a glass. That’s barely service. It’s only marginally less insane than asking for a tip at a self checkout counter.
If you need to charge $25 per glass, then please just list that price on the menu. I’d be willing to pay that for a good glass (maybe not at a place with such bad service, but that’s a separate issue). But it makes me irate if I expect to pay $17 and then suddenly get a bill that’s like 40% higher. If you need to trick and rip off your customers to make ends meet, then your business model is a failure and you should close up shop.

This is a great place! Everyone is kind and knowledgeable and will take the time to make sure you get the perfect glass of wine you are looking for! Their wine list is always in rotation so there are always new things to discover!
