Rebel Rebel
Whether you’re an aficionado of natural wine or just natural wine-curious, Rebel Rebel is the place to enjoy extraordinary pours in Somerville’s Bow Market. The cozy 18-seat wine bar is owned by Lauren Friel, former executive beverage director of Oleana and Sarma. This can’t-stop-won’t-stop professional won accolades for curating an all-female-made wine list at New York City’s Dirt Candy before launching Rebel Rebel in 2018. What Friel and her all-women team have created is remarkable. Refreshingly loud and proud about their support for reproductive rights, this crew fosters an atmosphere that’s queer-affirmative and entirely welcoming. And did we mention the wines here are delicious? Crafted by family farmers who eschew weird additives found in many conventionally made bottles, these wines are intriguingly soulful. With more than a dozen by-the-glass selections on offer throughout the day, you’re sure to find a favorite—or two or three.
Fun Fact
Rebel Rebel’s back wall sports a floor-to-ceiling poster currently emblazoned with “SEX MONEY POWER” in bold type. Add your graffiti—the bar provides a rainbow pack of crayons.
