Editorial Review for Wonder Bar – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Popular with area students and young professionals looking to take a break from Allston-Brighton's beery sports bars, Wonder Bar provides a classy alternative. With its dark colors and designer martinis, the large upstairs room sports a New York lounge feel. DJs and live bands play throughout the week, and TVs show all the big games. A menu of upscale finger foods (roasted pear salads, baked brie with crostini, roasted vegetable pizza) keeps everyone satiated.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Live entertainment changes nightly, so it's wise to call before heading over. Often, one will encounter hip-hop mash-ups upstairs and 80's tunes downstairs.

The Extras

Wonder Bar is also available for private functions.

One goes out to the bar to relax and let loose, I was more stressed and angry when I left than I had been all week. My friends were seperated to another location so meeting people throughout the night is difficult and they do not allow males to dance in the raised area at the back of the club, and my fiance was told to get down from the area, I never support gender inequality and this was a great example of it. I would not reccommend this bar.

Pros: Drinks were good

Cons: Gender Inequality, Serperation of Bar Areas makes meeting-up w/ friends difficult

4 Star Rating: Recommended

I love Wonderbar! I had the best Halloween celebration there a few years ago, and every time I have gone since has been a great time. They rarely have a cover (for girls at least; sometimes they charge guys $5). They play amazing music, and always have a really fun crowd.

Pros: Great music

Cons: Hard to get a bartenders attention
