haley.henry · Downtown Crossing
Haley Fortier's intimate, almost boat-like Downtown Crossing wine bar has drawn acclaim for nearly a decade with a focus on natural, small-production bottles. Tinned fish, charcuterie, and bay scallop ceviche pair with funky pours like a small-batch Alsatian orange, and Weiner Wednesdays bring themed hot dog specials.
Gray's Hall · South Boston
Opened in 2019 by the team behind specialty shop American Provisions, this South Boston natural wine bar next to its sibling market runs a seasonal menu built on New England farms and fisheries. Tuna crudo and arancini with smoked mushrooms pair with a list leaning heavily natural and low-intervention.
nathálie · Fenway
Sibling to Haley.Henry, this Fenway wine bar has built its list around women wine producers since 2018. Red snapper crudo, fried chicken skewers with garlic aioli, and lamb meatballs with chimichurri pair with the pours, and the third Saturday of the month turns the room into an LGBTQ+ dance party.
Spoke Wine Bar · Somerville
More restaurant than bar despite the name, Spoke has delivered comforting, eclectic plates to Davis Square, Somerville for over a decade from a famously tiny kitchen. Savory sunchoke doughnuts and grilled venison pair with a list running from Massachusetts-made Blaufrankisch to sherry-like Jura selections.
Rebel Rebel · Somerville
A tiny natural wine bar at Bow Market in Union Square, Somerville run by sommelier Lauren Friel, with no full food menu beyond snacks like Spanish olive oil potato chips. The bare-bones setup puts the focus entirely on an ever-rotating, nerd-worthy natural wine list.
