The host was really courteous and knowledgeable about his wines. He offered an excellent proposal. Beautiful ambiance. Not too expensive. They have a decent wine selection. I was not a wine drinker before, but when I tried one of their wine kinds, the Chardonnay, it tasted great. I adore it! I adore it!
Ive had a good time so far. If you enjoy liquor or wines as much as I do, this is the spot for you. They have a wide selection of beers, wines, and other beverages that are reasonably priced and well worth the money. Both of the employees are friendly and knowledgeable about their jobs. Its the ideal location for all wine connoisseurs. It comes highly recommended.
Matt & Spiro go above and beyond to put together items/gifts for me when I need them last minute. I am so grateful for all the hospitality they give their customers!
My uncle has a small bar counter in his house, and he is always looking for a new bottle of wine or a cocktail to add to his collection in his minibar. Last Saturday, we went to a wine shop near our place. My uncle happily conversed with a man who told him a lot about wine. He also bought a few bottles.
Great, wide selection, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return and highly recommend.
Went in to learn about White Burgundies; and Howie was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.Shall be returning.Many thanks.
Great selection in a small space. The people are super helpful. The prices are good, considering that it is on Newbury Street.
Great wine selection and very attentive staff.
Love this place! This is our local wine store and we go most every week to see the new things. They do weekly wine tasting events (before corona at least) and are very knowledgeable about the wines they sell. Fair prices and great selection.
Nice selection of wines and spirits
One of the few store on Newbury that has a local spirit, where you can meet the owner and chat about wines for 1, 5 or 20 minutes! They also have affordable special deal, and of course higher quality wines. Their beer selection is relatively small but of high quality as well. Just love it!
Great selection and prices but most of the guys working there made me never want to go back
Best all around wine and spirits store in the Beacon Hill Back Bay area!! A great selection of curated wines with a very knowledgeable staff. Plus they deliver! Need I say more?
Really good wine
Nothing to brag about
Good variety but pricey. To be expected on Newbury st
The original specialty wine store in Bostons Back Bay. Fantastic selection, the friendliest staff, some great deal to be had - always ask the employees, theyll show you the good stuff. Cute store cat.
Place is class. Wide selection, staff has great sense of humor and knowledge. Plus the kitty.Always a fav😍
So my husband earned a promotion and we wanted to surprise him with a gift. I contacted Bauer Wines who helped me organise, from the UK, a fabulous bottle of champagne to be delivered to his hotel within a 24 hour window when my husband was in Boston. What outstanding service! I’m so grateful for the extra details and the efficient communication especially with such a short time span and a time difference of five hours UK to USA! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Though a small shop, the carefully curated selection of wine, spirits, and beer covers a lot of ground. Though theres plenty of cool, eclectic bottles, the store doesnt shy away from also carrying staples. The staff is very laid back yet extremely knowledgeable and knows the inventory inside-out. Its a very cool experience to shop here because it feels like a fusion of a boutique wine shop and a neighborhood package store--of quality, convenience, and friendliness.They also have a cat named Sofia, who sleeps in the middle of a wine rack, and judges you based on what you buy.
This is my go to wine store! They are so knowledgeable and kind. If you tell them a style or flavor or region youre looking for-- they will guide you around the store and show you all your options at various price points.
Old school in the best of ways
Excellent selection of specialty beers and wines. Prices are better than I would have expected at a Newbury street boutique wine store (its cheaper than any area Bodega and some other local wine stores in less fancy locations). Their shop cat Sofia is adorable too!
Im not from the area but this store is fantastic. I went to Trader Joes and they didnt carry any wine, so I came here. This place is located very close by the mall, hotels and convention center. Dont spend $40 a bottle at Eataly, when you can come here and save some money. The staff is very helpful and they actually walk around the store asking customers if they need any help finding anything. Wow! Customer service! I love it.The front of the store has some great wines where you can mix and math 2 bottles for $12. I was able to grab a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc and a Yugoslavian Pinot Grigio. Im not sure Ive had wine from Yugoslavia but Im about to find out. Theres also a $2 Bin of cold beer. Its great if your looking for a few beers.So if you need some spirits in your hotel room, this is the place to stock up. You wont pay a lot here. Stop on in and stock up your hotel room. Cheers!
They had Softly Spoken Magic Spells and Todd the Axe Man- 5 stars today!
The staff are very knowledgeable and helping when you want to select the perfect wine for the occasion. The selection of wine is good.
Wide selection. Great staff with knowledge and service.
Found a great Tuscan wine for a fair price. Nice staff, and a sometimes social cat!
I found someone immediately to answer a question about what to get. However, my total lack of information combined with his inability to give his preference wasnt altogether helpful. This one is more fruity and this one is more dry is meaningless to a non-drinker. Once I grabbed a couple of items, someone walked over to the empty checkout counter, heard the phone ring, answered it, and then sat done for a phone conversation. He only motioned to a co-worker after a bit of back and forth on how much white wine he could set aside for the caller. About a case, he mentioned several times and it made me wonder the person on the other end of the line was not quite understanding that cause the conversation to persist.
Really friendly staff and they had my favorite bourbon 👍
Perfect service! Thank you!
I love the selection at this easy-to-browse store. Service here has always been top-notch - I think the fact that there are usually at least two people working here really makes for smooth transactions and recommendations. Great deals on a wide variety of wines, and the craft beer selection is amazing. That said, this place could suck, and Id still shop here, cause they have a store cat.
Great selection of wine, really friendly service, and extremely reasonable prices. We called ahead to see if a specific bottle was available, they found it, and when we arrived, showed us right to it on the racks.
Dennis did a great job selecting and wrappong 6 gift bottles with very little leadtime.
Whats not to like. A good selection of craft beer, wine, spirits. As well as a cat who snoozes in a wine box.
Great wine store! The owner is very knowledgeable and there is a great selection.
Staff here is incredibly kind and easy to talk to. Dont hesitate to ask for advice.
Nice little wine store. Almost missed it...its downstairs. Grabbed a couple of bottles for our cruise.
Kitty cat makes buying wine feel wholesome :-)
Great little shop but pretty pricey.Very helpful staff.
Very friendly staff, really know there wines...

I have been shopping here for 20+ years. Howie and crew are the best, and you will love what you drink from here.
Great staff and selection... seriously the only place I could find nips and half pints!

Knowledgeable and friendly staff
Extremely well stocked, knowledgeable helpful sales folks. Advised me on what to buy and packed the wine in bubble wrap as well.
Limited, but good selection of tequila
Nice place open late.
Selection of craft beers is great!
I was a little disappointed as they their web site talked about how many varieties of wine and champagne they carried...selection was limited and they had an awful lot of empty bins...pricing seemed average.
A little overpriced but good selection. Its Newbury St though so prices are in line with the neighborhood.
Thanks for delicious Margaritas!!!
Just a normal store for booze
Top wine!!!
Good
🥂🍷🍸🥃
I dont know about alcohol, but comparing the prices of the wines I bought here, the price seems pretty good. Various types
Great service, lots of choices 👍
