About this space

1855’s wine list is comprised of more than 250 different varieties of French wine, not only from Bordeaux but from across France. Above and beyond including well-known classics on the list at 1855, we wanted to highlight some of the little-known gems that can be discovered from boutique, small-batch vineyards. For those who want to deepen their oenological knowledge, we host a variety of tastings, classes, and special wine events.

The décor will immerse you in the world of wine, with chairs crafted by a local carpenter out of wine barrels, tables made from wooden wine cases, and wine-themed art hanging on the wall, making wine the centerpiece of your experience.

The 1855 Bar à Vin also features traditional French cuisine, served primarily in the form of delicious small plates, thus presented in a more casual and shareable way than at a traditional restaurant. Moreover, we also offer full-course menus for those who want to stay for dinner. 1855’s relaxing, casual, and friendly atmosphere is the perfect spot for friends to hang out with a glass of wine – or a cocktail or a beer if preferred – whether after work, for dinner, for weekend gatherings, or for special occasions.

Welcome to 1855, a tribute to French wine & casual cuisine. Our Newbury St. Boston Bistro celebrates the diversity of France’s well-known classics to small-batch vineyards, with over 250 different varieties of French wine. The menu is comprised of delicious, shareable small plates, to traditional full-course meals for brunch and dinner.

Our experienced Sommeliers enhance your meal with delectable wine pairings, making wine the centerpiece of your experience. The décor will further immerse you in the world of wine—with chairs crafted by a local carpenter out of wine barrels, tables made from wooden wine cases, and wine-themed art throughout the restaurant.

1855 is the year of the first official classification of Bordeaux wines following the World’s Fair in Paris. Bordeaux is, of course, known as being one of the most prestigious wine regions of the world and a good glass of Bordeaux is a rite of passage for learning to love a good bottle of wine. This was the inspiration for our bar à vin (wine bar) – to inspire a love of wine.
