BRIX Wine Shop

This wine shop is nice and always has an interesting rotation of wines. I don’t ever find deals here but they give good recommendations. Although overall (the store is close to my office and I’ve been here at least a dozen times) I like Brix, I’ve got to say that the staff is not particularly friendly. Come on people! You work in a beautiful freakin’ wine shop! Smile! I’ve been to a couple of their wine tastings and the wine experts delivering the tasting is always knowledgeable and fun. Cheers!
Tip: Check their website. Tastings on many Thursday nights from 5−8pm but they have special events.

I have visited the store on Broad Street at least six times now and have yet to be disappointed. They have a wonderful selection of wines and are always willing to help me make a selection that fits my needs and budget. Plus, I joined up for their monthly emails and really enjoy the «featured» wine and write-​up they send along with it. Great store!

This is an absolutely beautiful store. I work in the area and this is my go-​to wine shop for gifts and for those days when the only thing to cure the long work day is a bottle of really great wine.
The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because of the pricing. I bought a bottle of wine as a gift for my boss one Christmas, and when I was home for the holidays, I saw the same bottle in my hometown packy on sale for less than half the price. A little annoying for 2 reasons — 1) I could have paid under $ 10 for the same bottle of wine, and 2) what if my boss knew that I bought her cheap wine as a gift???
But all in all, I highly recommend this store. I’ve found some really great, cheap wines (for myself) and the staff is always willing to help.

A bit pricey for the bottles they carry. Seem to be interested in selling you what they have on shelf rather than matching what you want with the right bottle, at least for Bordeauxs. The shop is nice, staff pleasant and they have a reasonable selection of widely available wines.

Upscale wine store without the pretentiousness. You know those stores you walk into all giddy because you know you will be walking out with something amazing? That is how I feel every time I come into Brix. Whether you are looking for a high end wine, or scotch, or craft beer, or tequilla (they don’t just sell wine!) or something more reasonably prized to have with a pizza, the staff at Brix are always incredibly knowledgeable and more than happy to make a suggestion. I planned parties using the staff’s selections on a few occasions and they have always made me look good! The craft beer selection is pretty outstanding as well and is sure to impress the most hard-​core enthusiast. The prices are much more reasonable than you would expect when you walk into this gorgeous shop.
The Brix Six is a selection of 6 different wines, packaged together in different themes, for a discount price — they make fantastic gifts or are a great way to fill up your wine rack. I have discovered many great wines that I might not have had the opportunity to try if not for this awesomeness. They also have tastings every Thursday — totally and absolutely worth checking out.

Wine selection was not very interesting, and I was puzzled at some of the wine bottles they had for sale. Prices did seem good on some of the bottles, however many were over priced. It would be fine to come here if you were in a bind for a bottle, however.

Gorgeous little wine shop in the heart of the financial district. They have free wine tastings every Thursday. The shop prominently displays every single bottle they have. They have wines from $ 10 on up to the high end stuff and also have a selection of craft beers. I would say that while they do have a lot of affordable options they definitely cater to specialty and hard to find wines.

I went to the Broad Street location and if you work or live near the Financial district this would be the place I recommend. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I told them what I enjoy drinking and what my budget is and they made some GREAT! recommendations. I was very happy with the selections they suggested. I went to the wine tastings they have on Thursdays and had a blast. I picked up 3 bottles and will certainly go back for more. You cetainly wont walk away empty handed after visiting their shop. 5 stars for service, knowledge and selections.

Great service. Very Knowledgeable staff. Love their BRIX Six, They pick six different bottles of wine a month and put them into a «six pack» for 75 dollars. such a great Idea. They also have a great price range. You can get a 15 dollar bottle or a 150 dollar bottle all top notch!

I am not by any means a wine person. Give me a cold beer any day and I’m a happy camper. However, some times an event calls for more than a six pack and a slap on the back.
That’s where Brix comes in.
The selection is fabulous — there are wines of various types and price ranges. Sometimes I just wander through and make a selection based on a fun looking label. But when I am presenting a hostess gift to a self proclaimed wine connoisseur, I always ask the friendly sales staff for help. I love that by naming what meal is to be served and what types of wine I know the host/​hostess likes, the staff can present me with a multitude of choices. They have always suggested wines within my budget. One time, the saleswoman’s favorite choice was half the price of what I was willing to pay! Score!
Brix is my top pick for wine selection and service.

I come here every day I get back from work in time. It’s right in my neighborhood but it just closes so darn early. Really great selection and Jessica who works there most days is super nice.
I went to the first BRIX by Night here earlier this year and had a great time sampling some ’05 burgundy wines
The prices are a bit steep, and I did notice that a case of wine I wanted to buy there was available at another retailer for half the price. It is a great little store though and you can’t go wrong when you stop by.

It’s an upscale wine shop with some very reasonably priced and tasty options. As long as you remember that a large price tag does not always mean it’s a better wine, you can find some very good bottles with or without the help of the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff.
And, of course, the Thursday tastings. The store is basically across the street from my work, so I just stop by at least 3 weeks a month. The selections have always been interesting (regional/​national focused, from just one vineyard, non-​corked wine). And sometimes they have special non-​Thursday tastings, like the incredible Champagne one they did in early July.
They also have a «six-​pack» deal, which I for some reason find pretty amusing.

Our day started (or the day before ended…) with a Red-​Eye flight from San Francisco. So, by the time we strolled into Brix Wine Shop the first time at 4 PM, we had been awake for nearly 36 hours… we randomly entered Brix because of its enticing front entrance. Once inside, we glanced at several bottles of wine but decided that we didn’t want to add a heavy bottle of wine to our load of purchases… Before we left, the sales women let us know they were hosting a wine-​tasting and appetizer event from 5 to 7 PM that evening. I inquired about the ticket price and was pleasantly surprised to hear that the event was free. A chef would be signing his book in the back and providing the food samples paired with wines…
Needless to say, we decided to head back to Brix at about 5:15 pm. We felt like quite adept travelers having discovered a classy free wine and appetizer event within 12 hours of landing in Boston… The wine samples were delicious and food was scrumptious! We tried salmon served on special spoons, grilled shrimp with grapefruit, and endive leaves with veggies and cheese. Yum! I know I should have bought the book to be signed and all of the tempting wine but I will have to come back to do so next time… Brix Wine Shop definitely deserves my business and yours!

Just like the original in the South End, the downtown Brix location is just fabulous.
Where do they get their staff? Could they get any friendlier?
Same great service, same great selection, same great wine tastings to slosh through…
This one gets an extra star for location.

I was their third customer and although the guy in the three piece suit (I think they were just dressed up because it was their grand opening) did make a face when I asked him what bottle would go with chicken sausage pizza, he picked a splendid syrah. The prices are a little high but this isn’t Barefoot people.
Went with a friend to their Alsace wines tasting… real wine glasses and the guy who was serving really knew his stuff. Just bought a bottle of their hand-​selected bourbon too. Totally awesome.
