"Don’t come to Rebel Rebel if you don’t like talking to people. Or, for that matter, don’t come to Rebel Rebel if you do like talking to people, but not about the liberation of the nipple. This is a tiny and proudly feminist wine bar in Bow Market, and if you’re here for all of 10 minutes, you’ll probably end up talking with strangers, most of whom seem like they’re here multiple times a week. The result is a really friendly atmosphere, and if you can’t keep up with discussion on the third-wave feminist works of Elizabeth Wurtzel, just talk about natural wine instead." - dan secatore
"Natural-wine lovers should make their way to Lauren Friel’s Rebel Rebel to experience a list of progressive producers and new by-the-glass pours on a regular basis. The wine-lined walls and soft neon lighting of this small but bustling bar let you know you’re in for a treat before you even order. This is a cornerstone of trendy Bow Market, a restaurant and retail hub in Somerville’s Union Square, so if you can’t find a seat inside, you can always sit in the year-round shared courtyard and order food from other vendors at the same time. On the market’s second floor, you’ll also find sibling Wild Child, a hip bookstore and wine shop." - Erika Adams
"A snug Somerville wine bar, Rebel Rebel earned its third James Beard semifinalist nod and its second consecutive nomination in the Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages category." - Erika Adams
"A crowd-favorite wine bar in Somerville’s Bow Market, Rebel Rebel is one of sommelier-owner Lauren Friel’s well-liked spots and serves as the downstairs counterpart to the upstairs Wild Child bookshop and event space." - Erika Adams
"A natural wine bar in Somerville, Massachusetts founded by sommelier Lauren Friel; it reflects her award-winning, laid-back and open-minded approach to wine, serving as a local hub for exploratory, natural bottles and a place to discover interesting sparkling styles and up-and-coming producers." - Claudia Geib
