Reliable Brookline watering hole with a great beer selection and amazing food.

The Publick House serves up a long beer menu with a solid variety on tap. The atmosphere is usually like a welcoming party, and the staff is very friendly.

The food menu, however, is what makes this place a worthwhile stop. Standard bar food like wings and burgers are cooked to perfection, and more niche dishes are what really stand out.

The buffalo cauliflower is a great starter to be shared, with the perfect blend of spice and blue cheese.

The dry rubbed wings are delicious and have a decent amount of meat on the bone, which is unfortunately becoming more rare these days.

Order the house specialty, The Mac and Cheese, with short rib meat and sauteed onions. It’s amazing.

The burgers are also cooked to perfection, and the more toppings you add, the better.

The Publick House is located at 1648 Beacon St, Brookline, MA 02445
