    Nachos and Buffalo wings
    Sophie T.

    The Ave is such a vibe. We came for dinner on a Wednesday night and it was packed. Poppin. In the best way possible (it's important to note that it wasn't slow service because it was packed but more so it was very cool to see a place so busy on a Wednesday full of people of all ages). They also have an outdoor seating option right on comm ave which was also full because it was a beautiful night out! Go figure. :) We got the buffalo wings, waffle fries (a must order) and the nachos. The Buffalo wings were oh so good. Not overboard spicy but also definitely still had a Buffalo wing kick to them. The waffle fries are so good here -- one of my favorite menu items. You can even order them with a cheese and bacon topping too. The nachos were HUGE and sooo filling and loaded with toppings which is a major plus. They also have promo nights on Wednesday's and Thursday's and their kitchen it's open until 1am!! That's hard to come by in Boston. Fabulous spot, friendly stuff, good vibes, good music, this list goes on.

    Baked Pretzels

    This is such a great neighborhood bar. Very low key with a great draft selection and relatively cheap food. There is one server there that has been there for at least the past 3 years that I have been living in the area and she is so great and makes the experience even better. They always have seasonal beers on tap and had a good selection of pumpkin beers. For food I had the chicken tenders and fries (can't go wrong with this one) and my boyfriend and I split the pretzels. We had never had them before, but they were so good. They used to have late night specials which they have not had since they reopened from Covid. I hope they bring them back at some point.

    Well, I guess it's TECHNICALLY a bacon cheeseburger...shoddy and cheap!

    The proof is in the pudding....about the extra-charge bacon BARELY being in the burger. I'd be legitimately ashamed and embarrassed to serve this. Ridiculous. ONE SLICE! Even McDonald's puts more bacon in their burgers.

    I entered at around 4.45pm and to my surprise the place was almost already packed! We were here for a couple of beers. Ordered nachos and fries. Nachos were huge portion and tasted amazing, but they were badly stuck to the parchment paper. I have never seen so much guac and sour cream on a nachos platter ever in my life! Fries were great, right out of the oven, warm and crispy. Service was good. Great place to hang out and have a good time.

    Our second time here, the first being a few years back. Came here after watching a movie next door…read moreat the Majestic theater. The ambience is great - large space with casual vibes, lots of screens for sports and ample seating with both high tables and comfortable booths. The place was not too crowded but there were quite a few people there. It was around 8:30 when we came in so a bit later than the usual dinner time. The menu is quite extensive with a wide variety of dishes and even barbecue platter options. We ordered the smoked chicken wings to share - they came with a dry chili rub and 2 sauces - bbq and a Carolina mustard sauce. They were good tender tasty. For my main dish I ordered the blackened salmon with salad. The salmon was cooked well crispy on the outside and tender flaky inside. It came with deviled eggs too - which were ok - a bit spicy. The salad had cucumbers tomatoes and onions, but they were such tiny pieces and not a lot of- hard to find lol among all the greens. They should have either added more or just cut them in bigger pieces. They were literally like a few millimeters wide - almost microscopic!! The hubs ordered the root beer white russian drink which he liked. He ordered the rigatoni pasta which he enjoyed - tasty, tangy creamy with a touch of spice. Service was very pleasant- our server was very nice checked in on us frequently and even took a picture of us! Overall good experience and we'll be back!

    Great spot if you're just looking to grab some beers and catch a game - the bar is well-stocked and…read morethe TVs are everywhere. The atmosphere is lively and fun, perfect for hanging out with friends. The food is not good, so come for the drinks and the company, not the menu!

    GREAT FOOD! A mix of American/UK Pub and Mediterranean dishes. Everything I've tried is delcious…read more Some dishes have smaller serving sizes than I'd expect, and others have way more than I would have expected. It's pretty small, which lends to a warm and noisy ambiance which is nice to feel a little cozier and livelier in the winter months. If it's busy time and there's no outdoor seating I'd say go for a reservation if you want to go for dinner. I have tried their late night menu but to be honest I was imbibed and my enhoyment may have been stilted because I was quite hungry! My friend got their like short-term speciality cocktail of a garlic bread martini, and it was actually good?!? I was expecting it to be repulsive but they even did that well. Staff is really sweet, met the man who either owns it or manages it and chatted with him for a while and he was really kind. All are excellent even when they are busy.

    I so wanted to love the Tavern…read more Its a pub disguised as a restaurant. Though it does say Tavern in its name. First give away its not a restaurant -- they have no coffee or tea? None? Even a good pub has good tea. Next the noise level was about that of Park Square station at rush hour. You had to yell to be heard, and I am not deaf. Service was decent but certainly not great. Most of us had the baked cod with lentil and fennel. You received about 2 ounces of lentils and a bit of over cooked and tasteless fennel. The fish was decent though would have been better with a solid crumb topping. Pricing is aggressive even for Brookline. I would certainly come back for a beer with friends. I would not recommend sitting down for dinner.
