We have been meaning to come here ever since this place opened but somehow only made it recently although we did come once during Covid when it was almost empty and didn't have anything on which to nibble. After a quick glass of wine we went to dine at the Salted Slate which has the same owner.PWB is just the right size and where one can have a conversation without shouting. The bar is decent and the chairs comfortable. The bartender/server was pleasant and kept an eye on all the tables.The two of us ordered small (2oz) glasses of different wines all of which were good. We shared appetizers of four oysters, the duck breast and the tasty Jamon Iberico. Then shared one of the best Pot de Cremes we have ever had.The cheque came to $112 to which we add the tip. It's somewhat expensive but worth it. Nice to have a wine bar in the neighborhood. We will be back.

October, 2023:Just shared a bottle with some friends, sitting outside on a pleasant evening. Good selection and (as usual) good suggestions from the staff. Very enjoyable. Previous meals have been very good - a range of choices, small & large, certainly vegetarian options ( not sure about vegan). Nice place to linger and chat over drinks or a meal.

The wine was amazing and very very reasonably priced. My one issue is how freezing it was inside the bar - I walked in and had to put a jacket on, and group of 4 walked in an complained about the same thing. Wine is good though.

Best wine ever. The bartender Brendan absolutely best in the city. The food was incredible. Can't wait to go back

Terrible. Wasn’t busy. Seated for 20 min and no one bothered to take our order.

Excited to check out PWB. Sat at bar, said hello to bartender, no reply, placed menus

Great place in Wayland Square to get a light dinner and drink. No hard alcohol drinks are served, but the beer and wine selection is more than adequate. Local live entertainment on Fridays. Menu items are prepared by the Salted Slate restaurant which is just around the corner on Wayland Ave.

Cute wine bar with a huge selection, but little seating
Love this place! If I lived nearer, I would be here every week. Very chill and sultry vibe, neighborhood feel, terrific wine list and recommendations from knowledgeable and attentive staff. The food is surprisingly delicious as well. Nice assortment of delectable treats! Nice for dinner for two or a small gathering!

Ambience is nice but really, can you change your menu? How can you serve the same wines day in and day out. Mix it up!!
Molly Crosswell
Absolutely love this place. Intimate atmosphere with comfortable seating, its a great place to hang out and explore the excellent wine selection. We each got a wine flight and we’re able to try over half of their wine list.The food is excellent as well. We had their cheese and meat board, the gnocchi, and the roasted sweet potato. The server was knowledgeable about their wine selection and personable with the diners.Overall, it was an excellent experience and we will definitely be back!

I'm not a foodie and I like most dishes but this is the first time I felt inspired to write a review. Sadly the menu is not what it used to be. The charcuterie board meat was incredibly over salted and lacked diversity. The swordfish was actually delightful and i recommend that dish. We were excited to have a restaurant where we could sit outside but overall our experience was not what we expected. The wine was good as well but i greatly miss the old menu. It should be noted that things probably changed due to covid, but we hope to have the old wine bar back soon!
