10 Best Bars in Brookline

“I feel like I’ve been transported to Paris the moment I walk through the door. Emily is awesome! The cocktails are wonderful—whether you’re in the mood for something unique and creative or a simple classic. But what truly sets Small Bar apart is its incredible ambiance. It’s warm, inviting, and the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great drink. The music is awesome!“

“Awesome spot! Love the thai fusion take on bar food and the drinks are all well balanced. They also have a full bar with some interesting finds like the himbri gin we’ve seen in iceland. Highlights were the pork dumplings, tarro fries fried chicken sandwich and thai nachos.“

“Great please save service“

“Went after two different long ski days and have never been so satisfied with a ramen dining experience. Two Sunday evenings, one no wait but the place was full. And one with only the quickest 10 minute wait

The atmosphere is bright yet cozy, but no like overwhelming intimate. All of the staff were pleasant and attentive. And ofc the soup was delicious! I never finish ramen + I could’ve had 2nds.“

“Wonderful food and amazing service. We highly recommend the Washington Square Tavern. The best in the neighborhood!“

“If you’re craving a hotpot experience that hits every single note this one is a must. From the moment you walk in, the space feels warm, elegant, and perfect for a cozy, indulgent meal.
The real star? The broths.
The Wild Mushroom is rich, earthy, and deeply comforting, while the Spicy Premium Beef Tallow brings that bold, numbing heat that hotpot lovers dream about.

What I loved:
✨ Premium selection of meats & fresh seafood
✨ Broths that are layered, flavorful, and unforgettable
✨ The staff — incredibly attentive and they actually craft your sauces for you (and trust me, they know what they’re doing… chef’s kiss)

Every bite feels like an experience from dipping perfectly sliced meats into bubbling broth to pairing it with those addictive house-made sauces.“

“Had excellent food and service for a late lunch on Saturday. Staff were friendly and the environment was welcoming“

“Had a great meal at Lan Feast. We ordered the tea chicken, fried noodles, and the eggplant with string beans, and every dish was flavorful and well prepared. The tea chicken was especially tasty with crispy skin and juicy meat, while the eggplant and string beans had a great balance of texture and seasoning. The fried noodles were also delicious and paired well with the other dishes. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I’m craving good Chinese food in Boston.“

“Zozo is a talented and skilled bartender. Made the most delicious spicy margaritas and her kind demeanor made the atmosphere easy-going. Thank you, Zozo, for your service - we appreciate you and your efforts! We’ll be back because of you!“
