But it’s a fine line: have one glass, and you’ll be emotionally well-lubricated enough to get the most from the artistic experience. Have one glass too many, and you’re suddenly talking back to the stage like HOT you’re watching an NFL game. (“No, Romeo! Don’t drink that! She’s just really sleepy!”) So we love that we control the pour portions at Sip Wine Bar & Kitchen (581 Washington Street, Boston, 617.988.8100), opening in July just steps from downtown theaters. The latest venture from the Legendary Restaurant Group (which includes Papagayo and Max & Dylans, among others), Sip will offer 30 wines “by the sip” (two-ounce pours), as a half glass, and as a full glass, along with 150 wines by the bottle and a daily selection of nine glasses for under $9. That’ll leave more cash for munching on the pre- and post-theater menu offerings — which include charcuterie boards, flatbreads, and sushi bowls. And on Sip and See Sundays, guests will be able to purchase movie tickets, validated parking, and dinner for two for a fixed price. Sounds like an ovation-worthy opening.
