Natural wines & elevated small plates in a stylish setting
"If you’re looking for a place to drink in the neighborhood that won’t be confused for a wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame, you don’t have a ton of options. But you do have Nathalie, a tiny bar that feels like a neighborhood pub, only the light beer has been replaced with natural wines and—despite the fact that it’s close enough to Fenway to hear the crowd groan after another blown save—there are no TVs above the bar showing the game. If you’re hungry, order something from their menu of small plates like wild mushroom conserva or fried chicken skewers." - dan secatore, tanya edwards, valerie li stack
"From the team behind acclaimed downtown wine bar Haley.Henry, this Fenway wine bar was Eater Boston’s 2018 bar of the year thanks to its unique wines, intimate space, and small but enjoyable food menu." - Celina Colby
"On the writer's very first meal out in 2025 at Haley Fortier's Fenway wine bar (a sibling to Haley Henry in Downtown Crossing), a reader's high praise of the chef, Isaac Reyes, from the writer's end-of-year dining survey prompted expectations — and then a surprise: what the writer calls arguably one of the city's best plates of fried chicken right now. The chicken is crispy and crunchy, tossed in a slightly sweet, citrusy rub, skewered, and served over a creamy pool of garlic aioli; the resulting savory-sweet bites really work. If you’re looking for a little ray of happiness in the middle of a bone-chilling winter, this is it." - Erika Adams
"A perfect date doesn’t always have to mean dinner. At Nathálie, the intimate wine bar in Fenway, it might mean a few glasses of a choice red and a matching soft cheese. The menu does offer full plates but this snack-as-you-go spot makes for a perfect progressive date night. Best of all, the wine bar features wines by small production female-owned and natural wineries." - Celina Colby
"Maybe you record tasting notes in a leather-bound notebook, or maybe you’ve been known to sip a glass of wine and say, “Huh, this one’s a little more red.” No matter how many outlandish adjectives you can or can’t come up with to describe what's in your glass, the people at this wine bar in the Fenway will help you find something you like. Just note that this dark, intimate spot is better for drinks and a bite than a full meal." - lala thaddeus, joel ang, dan secatore, tanya edwards
