Wonder Bar

Wonder Bar Restaurant Review:

We like the interior of this modern, brick-walled Allston Village spot, but Wonder Bar had lost its luster over the years. The earnest jazz combos that played nightly rarely had an appreciative crowd, which was rather loud, student-dominated and there to party. DJs rule the joint, and the appeal for foodies was almost obsolete until now. The bar menu is revamped and has improved and there’s a focus on offering better food --- chicken and rice bowls, udon noodles, and a nice selection of bao. Meanwhile, appetizers are reasonably priced, with finger foods a specialty. And there is one exceptional offering: a warm chocolate chip cookie platter.
