I cannot say enough about this place. It's definitely a local pub with a townie feel but leave your judgments at home and just come relax for a little bit. I come here mostly for the food, which is amazing. Everything is always cooked to preference and perfection. I usually order a blackened chicken ceasar salad, and let me tell you when I say this is my go-to dish and its only made correct 1 out of 15 times ordered when i'm out. But when I go here - hands down the BEST every time. Then I always try a little of whatever my boyfriend gets which is usually something from the specials, also amazing. Try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

There once was a man from Pea Body. Who was craving a very hot toddy. He drove up to the bar in his piece of shit car and ____________. You guys will have to finish that one. I got nothing. Nice little suburban neighborhood bar with good food too. It's right in Peabody center. Check it out if you want to get your local soccer mom drunk on Guinness while stuffing your face with delicious steak tips. read more

The new owner that has bought and reinvented the menu has done a fabulous job. Of course, it's still the old Brodie's that everyone knows and loves but he has added specials such as fantastic fish tacos and seafood platters. Came here last night for a couple of drinks and an appetizer and the woman bartender was attentive and extremely friendly. We just ordered mozzarella sticks because we didn't want something too large and they were clearly not the cheap, frozen kind. They were large and not too greasy at all. The marinara wasn't watery, but instead had some nice tomato chunks to it. My gin and tonic was fueled, but tasted great. This is always a spot that gets packed so expect to wait if you're looking for a table but it is well worth the wait- especially when the prices aren't terrible. Always a great spot for drinks and food! Will always recommend to anyone in the area for a spot where the locals go. read more

I've been coming to Brodie's with my parents ever since I learned how to tie my shoes all by myself. Nowadays I still make a point to stop in for their chicken teriyaki pocket or steak tips whenever I am in the area. This place has been through more ownership changeovers than an individual Pog (oh yes I did), yet remains authentic to it's original intentions: beer, food, and lack of fuss. In recent years they are beginning to have more exciting specials which can vary from respectable to delectable, but 60% of the time every time I just order the chicken teriyaki pocket because it blows my mind. Really. There is nothing special or fancy about it, yet it is perfect in every way. Why am I not eating one right now. I'm crying. read more

Recently moved to the area and was looking to find a bar/pub to fill the void of my previous residence (Columbia, SC). This is the place! It is located in downtown Peabody and has a great atmosphere. I know other reviews have said their food is good, but seriously! it is amazingly good. The drinks and food are well priced and the service is amazing. Yes the parking is a little bit of a challenge, but after 5pm most of the street parking is available so you'll have to hunt for a spot. But once you get there you won't want to leave. The bar is in front, and the dining area is in the back. Not a whole lot of seating, but I haven't had a problem finding a spot yet. Very friendly atmosphere, definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a good drink and some great food. read more

I love Brodie's -- the place just rocks. It's a wicked local spot, the kind where the regulars stare at you when you walk in. I'm fine with that, I can drink with the best of em so there is no shame in my wateringhole game. Drinks are always strong and they have a really good selection for a small bar. Food never disappoints, ever, from salad to fries to steak. Always fresh, always cooked to order -- and the kitchen is right in front of you if you sit at the bar so you can even watch. Service is great. Kitchen is open till 11 (at least it is on Sunday) which is another point in their favor, given that so many local options shut it down early, ESPECIALLY on Sunday. Bar is open till 1. Jukebox that I can control from my phone: boo yah. Points for anything I can do without leaving my barstool. Seriously, I love it so much I wanted the sweatshirt. Boyfriend said no (I'm probably gunna get it anyway, let's be honest). read more

This past weekend we spent the afternoon staying out of the cold and visiting the North Shore Shopping Center, and worked up quite an appetite. As usual, we turned to our fellow Yelpers for help on finding a place to have a few beers and eat some good food. Hence, our visit to Brodie's Pub. Brodie's Pub is easy enough to find, but parking was a challenge due to its location downtown and the tremendous build up of snow banks. However, we discovered a public parking lot behind the pub where the parking is free after 6PM, and walked the short distance to Brodie's. When entering the pub we immediately noticed the huge piece of wood making up the bar where historical buildings were carved on the bar top and covered with a glossy coat of polyurethane. The pub is narrow, but toward the rear of the pub are several tables. The bar area was full of locals, but they were extremely friendly. One couple noticed I was looking for a coat hook, and they directed me to the coat hooks and engaged us in funny conversation. Fortunately, we snagged a few seats at the bar in front of the open kitchen. At first, I was a little concerned when I realized the barmaid doubled as the waitress, but she was pushing the food out and taking care of everyones needs. In short time, we had our Sam Adams and menus. I love an open kitchen concept and had a great time watching the chef preparing meal after meal. The busyness of the chef and waitress/barmaid, and large flat screen TVs kept us entertained. Now for the food... we started with a house salad, and we both enjoyed the dressing. I believe it was vinaigrette, but not sure. My wife ordered the Ruben sandwich and I the Famous Chicken Teriyaki Pita. Both came out with a nice stack of hot steak fries. My wife's Ruben was huge, and I was allowed one bite. As I recall, it was delicious. The Famous Chicken Teriyaki Pita comes with one whole grilled chicken breast, split in half to make two pitas. The chicken was topped with bacon and your choice of cheese. I opted for cheddar. The chicken breast was stuffed inside the pita pocket along with lettuce, tomatoes, raw onions and mayonnaise. The chicken was juicy, cooked perfectly, and had just a hint of teriyaki. The Famous Chicken Teriyaki Pita is such a large portion that I had to haul the other half of the pita home to eat the next day. As we sat finishing our beers, the chef came out from the kitchen to talk with us. When he learned we were from out of town, he introduced us to the owner of Brodie's Pub. Unbeknownst to us, he had been standing behind us most of the night. The experience we had with the food, the patrons, the staff and the owner along with the atmosphere will keep us coming back when hitting the North Shore. read more

5 stars because the food exceeds all expectations for a pub while still maintaining a down-home, local, "everybody knows your name," unpretentious, and incredibly friendly environment. The pub food items are great versions of what you would expect. The magic is in the specials. The specials are what you would expect from a very good upscale restaurant and excellent versions--from ingredients to prep. Shrimp bruschetta, Asian salmon, killer bologense, duck breast are a few of the outstanding dishes I have been pleasantly shocked by. Friendly and attentive service. read more

This place is in my hometown. I go years in between visits. Always top notch. Watching the dude cook on the grill...knows what he is doing. Burger I ordered was juicy, high quality and exactly as I ordered. Full bar. Variety of beers. Nice atmosphere. Can't beat this place for pub food! read more

Brodie's Pub - Just the way I like it! - Pubs Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

See all

This past Saturday night is my last time. I'll never go back. This is not the first time I've been treated like crap by one of the servers. Very rude unless you're a regular with a no service attitude right out of the gate. They drink while they're working which I really don't have a problem with but acting as though you're putting them out of their way while they're having a great time is ridiculous. Honestly, I never complain especially in a bar atmosphere, but for god's sake if you charge people and expect a tip, work on your disposition. I would have preferred if you told me that you're closed for the night instead of terrible service with a bad attitude. She had a face on like dog's ass. Seriously this place is the perfect example of a very bad restaurant. See ya never Brodie's!! read more

Very cool little pub. VERY extensive menu and amazing sandwiches. Good selection of beers on tap and bottled. Place is very small and actually gets smaller the farther you go in.. tapering to a point at the back. Funky place. read more

We went for the first time yesterday and both the food and the drinks were excellent. My husband commented that it was the best Manhattan he had ever had. I had the sausage plate and he had fish tacos. Everything was delicious. read more

I didn't hear the food was really really good very well-prepared I thought it was short and sweet when I got was very tasty and I would definitely go again for lunch or dinner read more

Heard they have great pub grub! Tried it out... all set. How do you serve steak tips so tough you need to floss as you eat them. Great place to grab beers with some buds and watch the game. But the foods rough. read more

I would be giving a 5 star review if it wasn't for my service. Everything about broadies is great, the food gives you perfect options for bar scene munchies, the drinks are dangerous this being that you know they're loaded up with your fav. Alcohol and they're so good you could just keep getting them and not notice how much your actually drinking! I believe the owner was walking around when I was there he was delightful! Funny and checks in to make sure you're enjoying yourself. The reason i dropped 2 stars. As soon as the owner said goodbye and walked out the back door our waitress Mercedes completely dropped my table and decided to have a seat at the bar and enjoy some wings and a drink (looked alcoholic). She did not return back to my table once after this she sat the rest of the time I was there. While this is happening more people came in and sat at tables. I watched the bar tender run back and forth between a full bar (including waitressMercedes still sitting at it) and trying to wait on new coming tables. When we wanted the check we had to ask a non server for it after waiting for her to come over for about 20minuets (still at the bar). They didn't know how to use the computer system so I watched them attempt and then ask Mercedes sitting at the bar to bring us our check. Instead of getting the check and bringing it over to us she just decided to show them how to pull up a check and print it (so they'd know how to do it the next time she wants to sit at the bar and eat while she's working I'm guessing) and handed it to them to give to us. I will be going back to Broadies and you should go to! But if your waitress walks up and gives the name Mercedes don't be afraid to ask to go to the bar or change servers. read more

Came in late night for some food, me and my boyfriend were stumped and didn't know what to order so we asked the bartender and she gave us great suggestions! She then showed us the specials which we both ordered off of! Food came very fast and everything was amazing ! Wish I knew the bartenders name she was really nice :) read more

Been wanting to try dinner here and tonight, a Friday evening, we were about too when we went in and saw the beginnings of a bar fight and the restaurant doing nothing to quell it. A group of men at the bar started with a lone patron and followed him outside. Not sure what started it but I'm sure too much alcohol didnt help the situation. I would hate to think what might've happened. Sensing the atmosphere was hostile we decided to eat somewhere else. Was hoping it was more restaurant than neighborhood drunk hangout. read more

1. Clean 2. Friendly host & hostess 3. Killer martini!!!!! 4. Great food. Try the meatloaf was enough for 2 but I ate it all 5. Real mashed potatoes 6 home pickles 7. You will not be disappointed read more

My husband and I were the youngest people in here aside from the staff by about 20 years, but the food was great. Pub food is pub food... in my experience, a lot of kitchens put more work into specials since they are new and meant to impress. In fact, when my husband asked the bartender for a suggestion on ordering, she said something very similar. Taking her advice, we both ordered something off the specials menu and we were both delighted. This is a dive-y little place, and you're likely to miss it if you don't know where to look (I've lived in the area almost 15 years and didn't know it was there), but it is worth a check-in if you are looking for somewhere local for a night out. read more

Great tips, burgers and wings and one of the absolute best crispy steak fries on the planet. Quaint setting great matter of fact service. Great value and great food read more

Brodie's Pub - Pubs Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

Surprisingly not bad. A few of us got the famed Chicken Teriyaki pocket and it was quite good. Beer prices seemed reasonable. Bartender was attentive and friendly. The place is a locals-type joint though. The kind of place where 90% of the patrons stare at every single person that enters the door. Wouldn't be opposed to going again. read more

I love this place! Amazing food! Great drinks! They are not afraid to pour here! The atmosphere is just the way I like it, a neighborhood place, a friendly place. It was busy and the bartender asked me what I wanted to drink before I even sat down at the bar. I would drive 20 miles out of my way to go to Brodie's! read more

Place was very full with people on a Saturday night I sat at the bar table to see bartenders pounding shots was served 3 expired beers from Jan 2021 look at your bottles ,paid 70 total for drinks with no change given back as bartenders were everywhere and was told yes you paid your bill but never tipped. Returned next day to refusal of service due to them having to force me to tip and I was being difficult due to speaking with servers I know from brazil . Great environment horrible bartenders read more

Went back again with the BF, and was just as impressed as the last time, if not more so. We started with the portabello appetizer, fantastic! It maybe could have used a bit more bread, but i am also a carb-o-holic and may be biased. Based on reviews I had to try the teriyaki chicken pita. It was phenomenal, though not strong on the 'teriyaki' flavor. I liked that however, it let the other ingredients shine (specifically the omigod homemade savor every bite pita bread). I got it with the onion rings, again great! My boyfriend yet again got the Reuben, apparently since our last visit he has been craving it on a regular basis and vehemently declares it is hands down the best Reuben he has ever had, and he has had a lot of Reubens. he really likes the dressing they serve it with, and has discovered that french fries dipped into works just as well as the sandwich. Service was friendly, the bartender was doing double duty as the waitress as well, so things got held up on occasion, but it wasn't because she was sitting around, and she apologized when our sodas took a bit long to get to us. We came back with a groupon (though i would eat here any day without the deal) and here is a major downside that almost brought this down to a 3 star...my boyfriend thinks we didn't get enough change for the rest of the amount, but for some reason he didn't say anything and still gave a big tip since he was so happy with his meal (I am not sure why he didn't say anything...but i guess it wasn't my money :-) ). However since his math skills are less than stellar, and he realized there may have been an issue on our way out as an afterthough, i am not entirely sure we were actually short changed. 2/2 for the food at Brodie's, this has become our new favorite restaurant: cheap, quick, delicious! read more

Met up with some relatives for dinner here and we got there pretty early to avoid overcrowding. I got a choice of three meats, Turkey tips, Steak tips and Sausage. All cooked very well (I should have gotten the steak tips medium, instead of medium rare but still very good). The sausage was outstanding and the turkey tips were very good. The portions are pretty generous. Not one of us finished our meals. I would recommend for a weeknight dindin! read more

This place knows what they are doing!! My first time here, service was very prompt and super friendly!! Food was delicious and drinks strong!! I highly recommend this place!! I will definitely be returning. read more

Still as good as ever except they need to go back to the half sour pickles. The sours are not good at all. Also they broke rule #1 and have in the past. Any business establishment does not park right in front taking away a parking space from a customer. Especially a handicapped customer. I had to park a distance away. read more

As always Brodies hit it out of the park tonight. The food is always phenomenal and the staff is unbelievable. The best pub food bar none no pun intended. You have to eat off the special menu. Another great night at Brodies. The specials menu rocks it! read more

Favorite place to go in town never let me down when it comes to a classic burger. My only complaint is that there could be a draft beer selection, but why mess with a classic! read more

Ok , bar atmosphere, can't hear yourself think, let alone what your friend is saying. Very small eating area. However, I was there to try the Reuben. That mattered more to me than the ambiance. We were seated near the open kitchen and all the food coming out looked amazing. My friends hamburger looked and tasted delicious. Perfect med rare, more than a big eater could finish. My Reuben was warm, perfectly seasoned, mild sauerkraut, Russian dressing and Swiss cheese. A bite of everything together was a party in your mouth. I would eat that again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! read more

Dinner last night was excellent. Local pub/tavern feel. Every table was taken and we only had to wait 5 minutes on a Thursday night. We went looking for the meatloaf dinner that was recommended but I didn't know it was a special and not on the board. I ended getting the pastrami sandwich and fries which was really good. We also had the Ruben sandwich and sweet potatoes fries which was awesome. Very large serving. I'm having half a sandwich I brought home for lunch today and can't wait. The waitress handled the entire room by herself and did an awesome job. She had recommendations and explained everything perfectly. Will definitely go back ! read more

I've heard Brodie's is under new management, but the change appears seamless to me. Same great pub menu and atmosphere. Not as busy as it once was, which bothered me as the waitress was pleasant, the food good and everything was basically the same. My partner got a special....half rack of baby back ribs with sweet potato fries. He enjoyed them with a Wachusett brew. He's a picky eater, so to say he was satisfied is a huge compliment. I got my usual cheeseburger with steak fries and a Wicked Apple cider. The cheeseburger wasn't as delectable as I am used to...not sure why...just not super flavorful. The steak fries were awesome though! Tried some slaw from my partner's meal and it was yummy! Service was quick, prices are reasonable. Please reacquaint yourself with this unique little place in downtown Peabody. read more

Never a bad meal at brodies.Best burger around.Steak tips also a good choice. Portions are too big for one so we always share.Drinks made well,strong and the Bartenders are always friendly,attentive ,attentiveness quick Luv the differant martinis they make read more

Brodie's is a fun local Irish restaurant. They have amazing drinks and outstanding lunch and dinner menu! Actually Brodie's specials are incredible! Delicious And Fresh All the Way! We will def be back! Cheers read more

I cannot recommend this place enough!! Definately a hidden gem, great atmosphere and dishes cooked to perfection, always. I always take people from out of town here, never a disappointment. Keep up the good work! read more

This is one of those instances where I never would have known this place existed if it was not for Groupon. My husband and I stopped by tonight for a quick bite to eat with minimal expectations for a pub, but wow! We were blown away. First of all, you walk in and immediately get a friendly vibe. It's definitely a favorite of locals, but you don't feel out of place if you walk in for the first time. It's like Cheers pub, but in Peabody Center! As somebody mentioned, you walk past the bar to get to the seating area. This area is small, but warm and inviting with dark mahogany walls and white Christmas lights. We were greeted by so many friendly faces en route to the back that we couldn't figure out who worked there and who was a customer. We were greeted immediately by a cheerful waitress who told us we could sit anywhere. Once we sat down, she informed us they were out of the risotto and swordfish specials. That is when we knew that this was not your ordinary pub. They have typical pub food, but also fancier dishes such as grilled pork tenderloin and the aforementioned specials. Based on the Yelp reviews below, I ordered the Famous Chicken Teriyaki Pocket. I am not usually a white meat kinda girl, but one bite into my sandwich and I know why so many people rave about it! Not only are they generous with the portions (the dish comes with two whole chicken breasts), but the meat is tender and the sauce is just right. It comes with lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, cheese (your choice of American, cheddar, and I think Swiss?) and bacon and is like nothing I have ever had elsewhere. My only complaint is that the pita bread, which was delicious and I think homemade, cannot really stand up to the teriyaki sauce and mayo. My sandwich fell apart after a quick bite or two, but that did not stop me from devouring one half of it. As I mentioned above, the sandwich is huge so I saved the other half for tomorrow's lunch. I ordered steak fries with mine, which had just the right amount of salt and tasted better than most fries you can get in a bar. As a starter, my husband had a side salad which came with house dressing -- homemade vinaigrette. It was delicious considering it looked like your ordinary garden salad! For his entree, my husband ordered one of the specials -- chicken in a sherry cream sauce with tricolor tortellini. It came with some yummy crostini and he was in heaven dipping the bread into the creamy sauce. Like me, my husband had trouble finishing his dinner so we took half of it to go. Our total was less than $40, which included a beer, a soda, one salad, and two huge dinner entrees. Throughout our meal, we were checked on by our waitress, another waitress/bar maid, and another man -- perhaps the manager? We were impressed by the amazing customer service and we were even bid good-bye when we left by the man, who was then behind the bar and thanked us for coming. The clincher of the evening (because I am a sucker for kind gestures), which is another testament to how genuine and nice the staff is, was when our waitress told another customer that she was only wearing one earring. It's one thing to notice that, but to be sweet enough to tell somebody AND then have the patrons at the front bar area helping to look for the lost jewelry is beyond the call of duty. The food, the staff, the reasonable prices, and the warm comfortable atmosphere of this restaurant/pub will definitely bring us back. We are so glad that Groupon helped us discover this hidden gem in a town that consists of mostly pizza joints and chain restaurants. Random notes: 1. There is a municipal lot in the back as well as plenty of street parking surrounding City Hall. 2. There are several large screen TVs so you can watch the game. 3. There is a 35 cent wings special on Sundays, according to my husband who noticed a sign on his way out. Can't wait to try this as I am def. a wing girl! 4. There is a cool looking, new age juke box by the front. 5. This place is pretty tiny. It's a long narrow space, but you don't feel too claustrophobic. 6. They do not serve coffee or tea, and we don't recall seeing a dessert menu. 7. They don't take reservations either, but it wasn't too crowded for dinner when we arrived around 8pm on a Saturday evening. If anything, most of the hubbub was at the bar. read more

We love Brodie's for two reasons. Number one: the Guinness is always served at the perfect temperature - never too cold and they always let it settle before topping off the glass. Number two: Buddy. Buddy makes great pub grub. The chicken teriyaki pockets are as good as advertised. The burgers and steak fries are great. And, he always offers five or six really compelling specials. Service here has always been friendly and the prices are low. There is plenty of parking in the municipal lot in back. Brodie's is one of the very few places we frequent where we've never ever had a bad meal. read more

We ordered for the first time ever on Friday night! We will definitely be repeat customers! The Prime Rib special was huge and the burgers were delicious! And I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of ordering. Call on the phone, pull up out front and tell them your name and delivery right to your car. It was perfect! read more

Well it finally happened we had about two good meals in a row here but on the third time the food was terrible the steak tips tasted like they had been left out and had a strange odor and the person I was with got a steak salad which had burned cut up pieces of steak not whole tips. you pay the same amount for a steak tip dinner.. I guess it's hit or miss but it seemed like the cook was messed up that day read more

Best lunch and dinners at reasonable prices. It is amazing what comes out of a small kitchen in a bar
