Stylish wine bar with tinned fish, crudo, and cheese
"This cozy wine bar sits at the base of yet another office building, like many restaurants in this neighborhood, but here, you can escape inside to warm wood and nautical vibes. Let the staff help you select any of the bar’s rotating natural wine selections, and tuck into some tinned fish while you’re at it." - Tanya Edwards
"This intimate, convivial Downtown Crossing wine bar makes a lot out of a little bit of space. The tiny kitchen doesn’t allow for much cooking, so the focus is on fancy imported tinned seafood. (But the few items that are cooked are excellent.) The other star is the wine — finds from around the world, especially natural wines and wines from small producers. There are lots of half-bottles available, so the tasting possibilities are endless." - Erika Adams
"The ratio of people in Downtown Boston drinking light beer to people drinking crisp Chablis is high enough to break math. But thankfully, the wine-drinkers have a hell of a place to go in Haley.Henry. This Downtown Crossing spot is tiny, as if your parents turned your childhood bedroom into a shrine for natural wines after you went to college (heartbreaking, but understandable). It has a nice small menu of tinned fish and charcuterie type stuff, but we prefer to spend our money on the wine, especially since they’ll open any bottle for you if you commit to ordering at least two glasses." - dan secatore
"In Downtown Crossing, you’ll find Nathálie’s sibling, Haley Henry, which puts tinned fish — along with an incredible wine list — in the spotlight. The small, elegant space feels quite intimate but also keeps things light and lively with a sense of humor and nostalgic ’90s tunes blasting from the speakers. This makes it the perfect place to branch out and try a small producer you’ve never experienced before — the knowledgeable staff is happy to chat about the bottles they have open and can help find something that pairs well with the tin of pungent sardines they’ll pop open for you." - Erika Adams
"I’ve been slurping crudos all summer, and the best preparation I’ve had recently was at Haley.Henry: the hiramasa (yellowtail) is thinly sliced and prepared with pickled mango, bits of red bell pepper, and Thai basil that all come together to produce a gentle kick in the mouth on each bite; if you like your crudo on the zingier side, this one’s a keeper." - Erika Adams
