Rebel Rebel was born from a simple conviction: wine shouldn't belong to the few. Opened in 2018 by sommelier Lauren Friel in Somerville's Bow Market, we set out to disrupt a world long gatekept by ego, exclusivity, and intimidation—and replace it with something better.

Natural wine from small family farms, many of them women-led. Bartenders who know their stuff and want to share it. A space where you can ask questions, try something new, and feel genuinely welcome. But Rebel Rebel was never just about wine.

From raising over $27,000 for abortion access in a single week to building a platform for intersectional feminist hospitality, we've always believed a bar can be a place for community to engage, grow, and push back. Three James Beard nominations and dozens of awards later, the mission hasn't changed. This is wine for everyone. Pull up a stool.
