Fodor's Expert Review Liquid Assets
Ashland
Wine Bar
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Popular early in the evening and late at night with those attending Shakespeare Festival plays up the street, this handsome wine bar and restaurant serves delicious modern-American food, from truffled popcorn and beef tartare to substantial fare. But as the name suggests, the favorite assets here are drinkable, including wines by the glass and a huge selection of bottles priced at retail (there's a modest $5 cork fee). Creative cocktails and local microbrews are also served.
