Check out the hand carved bar with historic Peabody scenes under the clear coat. Enjoy the drinks, beers are cold, and drinks are strong whether they be well, call or premium. Seafood specials rock and the regular menu items are always solid. Love the fries. Service is friendly and competent. Plenty of parking. It's definitely a must stop in Peabody Center. read more

My boyfriend and I just went for dinner for the first time, and the place was great. I hear they have great steak tips but I got a cheeseburger and steak fries, and my boyfriend got a rueben and fries. I started w/a basic salad, which was decent for a pub...but my boyfriend said his starter, the chowder, was wonderful. My burger was cooked to perfection, with a great taste (they must have seasoned the meat) and a nice bit of char to it. A very soft bun might have been better toasted. Pete said his Rueben was one of the best he's ever had. Perhaps most impressive, our waitress appeared to be in her early twenties yet was as responsive, respectful, polished, and grateful as she could be. read more

Another dinner at brodies. Another amazing meal. Billy is a master chef. Such a small kitchen and what they put out is mind boggling. Phantom gourmet and man finds food needs to come here!!! read more

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

See all

My daughter and I stopped for a quick lunch and beverage on Friday around noon;whilegetting to the tables in back to sit down required asking about 1/2 dozen patient patrons to briefly leave their seats at the bar so we could pass with the wheelchair ,they were very kind and gracious,actually, more than happy to do it, the menu is impressive,bu,t truthfully, they had me at Guinness on tap! the atmosphere is homey and pleasant,easy to talk and listen, the staff is super,the food is all you could hope for in a pub, and more, especially the pickles and fries! We loved the experience,everyone there was super nice , helpful, and enhanced the whole experience at Brodies,needless to say,I guess,but we'll certainly be back! really nice staff, in my experience ,seems always to attract really nice patrons,Brodie's proves that observation read more

Stuffed clams are delicious!

This is a great local place that offers consistently good food. The front area is the pub that can at times be a bit loud, but there is additional seating in the back that is more quiet. Their onion rings, burgers, and sandwiches are all really good. The trouble is deciding which one to get! And the pickles they serve with sandwiches are awesome too - be sure to ask for a bowl of "extras!" read more

There is not a better Rueban sandwich to be found anywhere....I have stopped into Brodies on many occasions over my years on the North Shore for great pub food at reasonable prices. Lately there have been some absolutely fantastic specials on their board in addition to their better-than-average pub fare menu. The other night while blissed out from my Reuban I think I discovered how they can put out such wonderful and creative dishes from the tiny open kitchen area that is part of the whole scene. On the shelf in the tiny dining area, sitting proudly amongst the extra ketchup, napkins, and S&P sets sit a row of fat Culinary Institute of America cookbooks. There is a classically trained chef in the house!!! The bar is beautiful, the staff is friendly and efficient, and the food is out of this world. My only complaint is the music gets cranked up in the dining area about 8 pm and it is impossible to have a conversation if you are at a table under or near the speakers. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. The food is very fairly priced and it is amazing! Best steak tips I've ever had. It's a very fun environment to be in. They make you feel at home here. And the owner who is always walking around is very friendly and if you need something he goes out of his way to help you. So if your in the area or want to have amazing food come to Brodie's! read more

WOW! 1/2 priced lobster rolls much better than the upscale Finz. Large chunks and 1/2 price on Tuesdays. Our waitress was friendly & sweet and we met other patrons and completely enjoyed our evening. read more

Absolutely fabulous food. Hands down the best burger on the North Shore. Specials always great. Just go.....you'll see.

Awesome food & service! Weird vibe from regulars demanding TV audio instead of music. When you walk in to a bar with hushed voices and a TV - it feels like you're invading someone's living room. read more

It was comfy and friendly. Food was decent..Wing night is a bargain 35 cents fresh and huge pieces. I may return!

We went there after going on the Salem Night Tour. We had a party of 6 people and there was live music, so they pushed a table onto the end of a booth at the back corner where it was a little quieter. My boyfriend had the Cowboy Burger which he ordered medium. It came out a little closer to medium rare, but he still enjoyed it. The onion rings were quite decent. I had the bbq chicken flatbread. It was huge, probably 12", a lot bigger than I expected. It was pretty good, the chicken was a little dry. A friend had the special, scallops and sweet potato raviolis with a pesto sauce. He enjoyed it, said the scallops tasted fresh and weren't overcooked. Everyone else enjoyed their meal. A nice place, and if we go back to Salem we would probably try it again. read more

I love the dive bar appearance, and they have great pub grub. Great turkey and steak tips. Fantastic homemade baked beans. Amazing Italian sausage and homemade pickles. Huge portions, great prices. read more

While on vacation near Peabody, we stopped in Brodie's Pub based on the rave reviews on Yelp, and I have to say the reviews did not steer me wrong. The service and patrons were very friendly, even though it was obvious that we were from out of town. I had the chicken salad sandwich; which is the best I have ever had. I was pleasantly surprised how a very simple sandwich could be made a little differently and taste so good. My husband had the pastrami sandwich, and he was talking about that sandwich for the rest of the day. I plan on coming back if my travels take me back to that area in the future. read more

Great food and staff. Awesome hole in the wall bar and will definitely be back. Highly recommend the sausage sandwich.

My GF and I weren't sure where to go last night...I said meatloaf, she said "Meh"...so we came to Brodies and had a really decent meal. We ordered almost exclusively off of the specials menu. To start off we got some handmade crab cakes which were flavorful and packed with protein....My monk fish smothered in lobster bisque was delightful and well cooked. My GFs Greek salad with steak tips was excellent and piled high with perfectly cooked meat. It is a small place, so we waited for a few minutes, but our server made us comfortable and well supplied with drinks. read more

We've been going to Brodies Peabody for many years & it continues to consistently offer some of the best food on the North Shore! Don't let the pub store front, casual interior & laid back atmosphere fool you. No matter what you order, whether one of the many regular menu items or somethings from their extensive list of daily specials, you'll not be disappointed! Drinks are excellent, and food portions very generous, cooked as ordered & perfectly seasoned. Service is quick, efficient and always with a friendly smile. Head to Brodies for a great meal & a sense of community. You won't be disappointed! read more

I sat at the bar and the staff was friendly There was a beer i liked on tap and felt comfortable in the atmosphere. Was pretty hangry so i ordered the chicken tenders and cheese sticks. The tenders tasted fresh and made "from scratch". The sticks were fat crunchy and full of cheese. Im happy i stopped in and am no longer hangry. read more

Not sure if we went on an off day but we Did not have the best experience here. This place does have great reviews so who knows what happened. The owner was willing to do what he could to make things better when he caught wind our experience wasn't so great which was nice. Hopefully we'll have better luck next time and have a great experience like the rest of the reviews. read more

Nice local bar with consistently good food and extremely generous pours. The bar is tiny however, so seating during dinner on the weekends can be tricky, and there is often a wait. Also, it looks like they recently updated their menu and raised some of their prices quite a bit. $15.00 for a salad with grilled chicken is just obscene for a dive bar in downtown Peabody. read more

Nice clean pub w friendly staff. Excellent burger w big steak fries but my wife went for the recommended local favorite Chicken Teriyaki pocket. Not that tasty and just didn't 'get it'. Guy next to me got the streak tips which looked great. I will go back. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat. Dark interior, back area was pretty cold due to a broken window and they had a couple flat screen TVs playing the football games. Food was excellent and we opted for onion rings with our burgers which came in a gigantic pile. Certainly they were not stingy in their quantities but I think the batter could have been a bit more seasoned. I'm not a salt person but I did need to add quite a bit to season them up. read more

I'm surprised at all the rave reviews-- we must have gone to Brodie's during an off-night because our experience wasn't all that great. The staff was friendly, but the food was sub-par, especially for bar food. I ordered steak tips-- I asked for medium well and they were served to me gray and dry inside, chewy, and extremely bland. I ordered my meal with rice (I imagined a big tub of rice, like on Kitchen Nightmares, where they just scoop out your portion and heat it up in the microwave), and fries. My fiance ordered a haddock special with asparagus and rice-- he said his haddock was great, but his asparagus was awful, rice was OK. Besides my meat being cooked incorrectly, there were flies swarming around our table as we were eating-- it was pretty gross. Don't think I'll be heading back to Brodie's anytime soon. read more

Terrible service and unsanitary conditions. I watched the cook blow his nose in his armpit and then reach into the oven to grab my meal..More over, our bartender singled out a young woman who had been over served (by her) for a questionable decision, which was disheartening and literally heart breaking to watch. I expected more and got less. This is the last time I support this business and I encourage you to think twice about spending hour hard earned money here. read more

First and last time for this place. Waited about 10 minutes before I was asked if I wanted a drink. Waited about another 10 minutes to order my food. Ordered steak tips, my jaw was hurting from chewing, over cooked and tough. That's it for me. read more

Food was awful, and the waitress couldn't seem to care less. I didn't eat any of my wings or mushrooms and she asked if I wanted to box all of my food. I didn't touch any of it, but that's obviously not a hint that it was awful. Strongly advise against if you don't want your stomach to churn and terrible service. read more

From the drinks to the amazing food to the wonderful staff this place is a class act all the way - have been going here for over 20 years and it just gets better and better. You can get pub food but you can also get a 3 course gourmet meal. Give it a try and you will go back again and again. read more

One word... SPECIALS. Get the specials. They change just about every day and the selection is crazy. Highest quality bar food you will ever find locally. Ice cold beers on tap. Biggest selection of liquor you will find anywhere, and the drinks are good and STRONG. Great bar/wait stuff. Brodie's is my number 1 go-to place. The kitchen is open until 11 PM, which is another reason to go here. read more

This place is perfect if you're looking for a low key bite. It's small, but they are moving to a larger location soon. The wait staff is very friendly and the drinks are large and a good price! Try the wings for sure! I had the steak sandwich and it was delicious! There was a couple at the table across from us who were just taking their time drinking wine, getting up going to have a cigarette and the staff didn't seem annoyed or try to rush them out. Definitely check the place out! read more

I was in Peabody for a gig and found other reviews of Brodie's to be good so I stopped in. 2 words: Very good. Chili and teriyaki chicken pocket were great. Friendly service and lively atmosphere. I believe there was free Wi-Fi as well. Their special board looked good as well. I would definitely return and try something else. Highly recommended!! read more

I used to frequesnt this place many, many years ago and then problems with ownership. Luckily the new owners seem to take an interest in making sure the customers are happy and served good pub food. At first though they seemed hesitant with regards to new faces frequenting the place but after only a few visits the staff has seemed to warm up a bit. I am referring to the regulars I see like Shawn, and Kellie both bartenders and waitresses. Same goes for the big guy managing the place. I guess I can't say I blame them but all is well and I go weekly now. There are a few others that work here and I must say I like them all. I like the open kitchen and for one reason, you get to see how hard these folks in a normal kitchen work! The specials are somewhat consistent but they do not always have what I like. You can't go wrong with the teriyayki pita pocket sandwich for a mere $9.95 with a choice of sides and a slice of sour pickle. Same for the angus steak tip sandwich! The drinks, well in a word WOW! They are awesome. To sum it up you have to give this place a try. Friday nights can be a tough night to find a seat, but I find Saturay to be a lot less crowded. Oh and the talent pool, impressive especially on a Saturday night at the bar. I've got a bunch of friends coming down in February and like last year we'll be hanging out at this place for sure. Oh and taking a cab home of course!!! read more

Went here for the first time tonight 4/5/2013. I had fish and chip, and my husband had Combo chic, steak tips, and sausage. The fish was excellent and my husband very much enjoyed his choice. Make sure your hungry, we brought food home. Will definitely be eating here again. Thanks for a wonderful meal!! read more

This is my absolute favorite place for dinner. They have the best burger around. That's the only thing I've ever ordered off the real menu. They have specials daily that are so varied and never disappoint. I would say the salmon is my favorite, although I've had it 3 different ways and loved them all. My bfs favorite is a flounder special. Or was until last week when he had the prime rib, which was so good. On another note, we have never had less than great service. A lot of people have told us to try their other restaurant in Salem, but my theory is, it can't possibly be better than the Peabody one. read more

It is a true pub but the people are so friendly and the food delicious!!! We had the homemade buffalo fingers- Rueben and burger- plates are huge! Everything cooked to perfection and tasty read more

This place is my absolute favorite; the attentive staff is amazing and will accomodate most any request. Joe's cooking is so great I will wait hours for it on Friday nights and only order off of the specials board. Try it- you will NOT be dissapointed. Oh and tell Emily I sent ya :) read more

For a pub this place is great. Looks like any typical downtown city pub from the outside but has some of the better pub type food out there. Good service and friendly staff. It is cozy but has a decent number of seating options with a long bar up front and tables in back. They are currently renovating the place and it looks much better already. Not many options in downtown Peabody for good food and drink, Brodie's is worth the visit. read more

I wish I found Brodie's when I first moved to Peabody. I had been driving by it forever and always wanted to stop in. I finally did about a year ago and this place is now part of my regular restaurant rotation. You really can't go wrong here. Laid back, casual atmosphere. Lotta locals at the bar. The food is inexpensive, portions are good-sized and when you order a Captain n Coke, you actually get a good amount of Captain in your Coke (huge plus). I have yet to have a just OK meal here. They've ALL been real good. If you're getting apps, don't pass over the portabellas. I always change up what I'm getting here (kick-ass specials every night) but I always start off with the portabella app. A good time all around. I've never stopped in for lunch so I haven't had the parking problems other reviewers had. At night, there's plenty of on-street parking. There's also a public lot a stone's throw away on Foster Street. Definitely stop in next time you're in the neighborhood. And if you live near Brodie's, there is absolutely NO reason for you to ever eat at a sh*thole 99 restaurant or other chain pub/restaurant again. EVER. Enjoy =) read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. We ended up here after a meeting in the area on St Paddy's day for lunch. It's cute and rustic as an Irish pub should be, I mean if you expect fine dining you shouldn't be hitting a pub. The bar tender was sweet, welcoming, very attentive and poured one hell of a drink. She was friendly and chatted with us and made good recommendations. The food was way better than expected! My business partner got the chowder and the biggest tuna salad sandwich I've ever seen! She loved both. I had the pastrami on the recommendation of the bartender.. I've never had an pastrami that has come close to that. It should be award winning, plus it was giant and had it on amazing sourdough bread. I could only manage half. My other business associate had the burger which loved. And the fries! Each of us received a ridiculously big basket of perfectly golden steak fries. The owner was in and we chatted with him. He was super nice and really cool. This little pub is now my favorite on the north shore. Oh and prices are soooo beyond reasonable for great drinks and amazing pub fare. Loved it. read more

I've worked in Peabody for 25 years. Brodies is always in the lunch rotation. Usually the chicken terriaki sandwish for take out but a great place to sit down and relax when I can pull it off. Good pub food, friendly service. read more
