The sign on the door proudly claimed they had the best lobster roll in Boston, but the food was a strange mix of trying too hard on some dishes and not trying hard enough on others. Let's start with the good: the Buffalo chicken dip was actually very good and easily the highlight of the meal.Now for the bad: the French onion soup was far too salty and tasted like it came straight from a can. The coleslaw was bland. And then the ugly: the clam chowder had some kind of spice added that completely threw it off. My immediate reaction after the first bite was, "Nope."The lobster roll, which should have been the star of the menu, was the biggest disappointment. The lobster did not taste fresh, which is inexcusable for a restaurant advertising itself as having the best lobster roll around.As for the service, our waitress was pleasant and clearly trying her best, but she was so busy that things were frequently forgotten throughout the meal.Overall, I cannot in good conscience recommend this place, and I would not return. There are far too many better options in Boston to waste your time or money here. Food: 1 Service 2 Atmosphere 4 read more

Fine for what it is. The server was obviously intoxicated and took forever to get our check, and we weren't the only people. Food was surprisingly really good though lol read more

They have a great selection of craft beers on tap with 8+ IPAs! Loads of TVs, so a great place to watch sports. I ordered the taco appetizer, and it was the perfect size. The pulled pork was flavorful and moist. The chicken less so. I sat at the bar, and my only complaint was the bartender did not seem very customer orientated. He didn't really keep an eye on the glasses getting low, and trying to get him to get a second beer, took some effort. read more

Coolidge Corner Clubhouse - Good selection of craft beers. Lots of TVs. - Sports Bars Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

We order From Coolidge Corner Clubhouse easily once a month, maybe more. For me, I loooove the salads. My go-to is the Cobb Salad, It comes with Diced Tomatoes, Avocado, Bacon, Bleu Cheese Crumbles, a hard boiled Egg, mixed Greens, and Peppercorn Ranch Dressing. You can add any number of proteins from a large selection (meat or vegetarian options) and a ton of toppings, from cole slaw to chili. I usually add apples and avocado. Recently I changed it up and tried the Harvest Salad. This one is great--comes with Almonds, Green Apples, Dried Cranberries, Feta Cheese & Mixed Greens, with Balsamic Vinaigrette. The only thing I wanted to add that time was steak tips. That might seem expensive at $9 (at the time) but these days, if you think about it, it's fair. I ordered them rare--they were, and they were delicious. Would recommend. We also like the sandwiches and wraps. They make a great Reuben. My husband Joe likes their chicken parm, which comes on a great baguette. He can also vouch for their fish and chips, which he got when we went for lunch. He was happy they had malt vinegar for that! Coolidge Corner Clubhouse has a ton of TVs, so maybe don't try to go when there's a big game. But when we go for lunch on a weekday there's plenty of tables! read more

Some of the best food you're gonna get in Brookline. The lobster roll is to die for. Sports bar meets Old-fashioned Boston bar. Friendly staff and classic inviting ambience. This is the place to go to all year round: duck in and cool off with a cold Guinness on a hot summer day or warm up with great food and great conversation on a cold New England winter night. Jacob, you're doing a great job and I'll be back with my son! Best of luck! read more

It had been quite a while since I had last eaten at the CCC . The place was busy but we were seated quickly. The service was very good . We got are food quickly. We ordered the cheese nachos and the teriyaki chicken wings I though both were average. Nothing was bad but nothing was crave worthing . read more

The server who wears glasses and is overweight is rude. He does not present himself professionally. He favors some guests over others and does not give that warm, friendly greeting. The bartenders are left to handle the entire bar alone while the rest of the staff socializes at the end of the bar. The food is good and fairly priced, but the service needs major improvement. The restrooms are small and rundown read more

I started coming here for their trivia nights that are super fun and intense! I like that they do the old school paper way and they're at least a little more doable than other places I've been to. Food/snacks are pretty standard. read more

It has been around 10 years since I dined at the Coolidge Corner Clubhouse. And not because of any prior bad experiences. For many years it was one of the few places in the area where you could grab a beer and enjoy casual dining. But over the years, other local options slowly became available, many offering much better food, so I never felt the need to go back. I can report that not much has changed over the last decade. If your expectation is solely a casual dining experience, expect sticky tables, stained wallpaper, sports bar quality food and music loud enough to have to speak in a loud voice to be heard. Blackened chicken was low quality and very salty. Chili was much better. Served with melted cheese in a crock with tri-colored chips. A solid 3 star rating based on food, ambience and service. Others simply looking to catch a game while enjoying some casual bites to go along with their drinks would be justified in rewarding this place a higher rating. read more

Overall: would highly recommend for the old school style trivia (pen and paper)! The beer selection is incredibly vast as well as the food selection. My main knock is that the food is very average bar food while the bar itself is very small and sometimes inefficient with seating. Food: Mac n Cheese bites, fries, tots, and other classic bar foods were incredibly mediocre varying from soggy to bland. The prices themselves were also pretty exorbitant in my opinion with some options being close to $20 for that quality. Ambience/decor/service: very classic sports bar kinda feel. The trivia was really fun and well hosted ignoring the technical difficulties with the mic at times. The place was incredibly packed because of the trivia and incredibly empty afterwards. The service itself was also really quick and accommodating so that we could get all our orders in before trivia started. read more

This place is awesome. The food is a drunk man's dream (especially the nachos... WOW). Draft beef never disappoints. We go for trivia a lot and always have the absolute best time (although if the questions referenced more recent years we'd probably rack up a few more points). The staff is so nice! And the place is TINY, but never feels too hectic or overstimulating. read more

I have also not eaten here in many years and last night as it was about 9:30 and the options were limited, I placed a take out Steak Tip dinner order. The food was horrendous and the Steak Tips were just inedible. Big disappointment!! read more

The food is really good, the place is small as soon I noticed more peoples coming the more crowded get. It feel like claustrophobic tbh lol read more

I had an amazing experience with Katie. She is a really amazing and charismatic bartender that talked to me all night and made me really good gin drinks. I've been here before and Ozzie the bartender and also Jared the server have given such good service. I love the food love the drinks love the energy. read more

We've been coming here for years and having ordered this before I wanted the same for take out. When I got home I find what are two pieces of fish and a very small amount of fries. See the second photo where I took out the lemon and tartar sauce. This for $20?! Fish was also so dry. Gonna have to find another restaurant... read more

Food was very good: Four Sandwiches and one salad - flavorful, hot - very good. The issue stems from the beer.... The beers do not taste right - had to send one back and the other just was not "right." If there was one recommendation to management: Check your lines; our party who all know beer - think your lines are not clean. When was the last time, your lines were cleaned. Thank You. read more

Always a good time! CCC is in the middle of Coolidge Corner (hence, the name!). There is metered parking up and down Harvard St., but there is a parking lot at 25 Centre St. that is also perfect to park at. We went to CCC last night to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs! There are no reservations, and you'll be able to walk in and find a table or a seat at the bar. For a Saturday evening at 7PM, we had to wait about 5-10 minutes before a group left. Overall, the service is great! Staff is always friendly. One of my favorite things about CCC is that they not only have bar food, but healthier options - Quinoa Bowl, Salads, Wraps. Ambiance is smaller, local sports bar in a great area if you want to explore Coolidge Corner once you've finished eating. Overall, would recommend for a solid sports bar with ample TVs and food options. Usually not too crowded, but always recommend giving yourself some time if you are planning to go eat dinner at a prime time. read more

Fun late night spot! Came at 10pm on a Monday for some after work snacks, and this place was popping! They had the game on, and it still felt like a lively atmosphere despite the weekday. We ordered the Mile High Nachos and Curly Fries Basket and they hit the spot. Nachos were loaded with guacamole, pico, and sour cream and has lots of melted cheese. We both ate a full meal worth and you couldn't tell we'd made a dent. The fries were crispy and yummy. Great option for a casual evening. read more

Coolidge Corner Clubhouse - Mile High Nachos and Basket Curly Fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Don't be fooled by the rating. This place is great. Great energy on a weekend evening, great chill for Sunday brunch. Overall sports bar theme but attracts a much more diverse crowd. TVs for the sports person, vibey music for the non-sports person, fun waiter and bartenders. Had a great brunch here but didn't review so this is about the dinner menu. Food: pretzel bites - loved the 3 sauces, NONE of that plasticy cheese stuff, very flavorful, and had 2 others to go with it. Pretzels were soft and hot. Awesome. Lobster rolll: largest roll I've seen for that price. It's knuckle meat but they do a GREAT job. Brioche was soft and flavorful, they offer warm with butter and cold with mayo (I had the cold). Get the homemade chips. Bar - I sat at the bar. Had 2 exceptionally well made cocktails. Bartender went above and beyond in creativity. This guy's an absolute winner. 2 cocktails, an app, a lobster roll, $65. How do you say no? read more

Amazing. Fun local joint.. best food... the chix tenders are amazing they make all sauces in house. Now the grilled meatloaf is wicked goood!! Shame if you don't try it here.. read more

So there's a lot of good stuff at this restaurant. Lots of TV's for various sports games, great menu with lots of options, and we did have some good food here. My side salad was particularly good (very fresh, crisp veggies, good dressing), and my husband's truffle fries were excellent. I am taking a star off because they have a sign outside advertising the BEST lobster rolls in Boston. Which is a bold statement and was enough to lure me inside--only to be disappointed. I had the lobster roll CT style which is served hot with butter. The lobster was overcooked and dry, which is an instant dealbreaker. The seasonings were good and the flavor of the roll was good, but the roll, despite also being dry, broke apart almost immediately, making it difficult to eat. Most of this could have been masked by using enough butter, but alas. Anyway, please don't lie to me about how good your lobster is. I'm going to be bitter about this for a long time, and even though I will probably come back to enjoy sports games and excellent fries/other food, I am going to remember this disappointing lobster roll and be slightly grouchy about it every time I do. read more

Food: Bar food has some new standards to live up to for sure! We started with pretzels and defiently recommend their Chipotle sauce as a side. As well as a blackberry cider for me and a Guinness for my partner. My partner ordered the IPA burger and truffle fries. I ordered the sliders since they were on special Wednesdays and curly fries. We ended the night with a delicious Lava cake. Tip: Look into their daily specials to save a few $!! Service: Amazing! It was a full house when we stepped in, but we were serviced immediately. The drinks and food came out fairly quickly, but just enough spaced out time in between to let it settle and not be overwhelmed. Our server Olivia was funny and super nice, not mention very attentive! Atmosphere: A fun, relaxed, and semi loud environment, but hey, that's a bar for you. There is plenty of TV on various channel options and music, too. Overall, it is a fun environment and we can't wait to go back! read more

I've been here several times over the years, but don't plan to go back anytime soon. The beer list appears very promising, but almost every beer I've had here on draft tastes very bad. I do not think they ever clean their beer lines, or they leave and serve stale beer in the lines for less commonly ordered beers. Tip: only order very common beers on draft or better yet stick to bottles and cans. The service has generally been good, but a recent visit showed how bad it could be. Our server was extremely unfriendly, bordering on rude. Several attempts asking for water from multiple staff members were unsuccessful. Some beers that were ordered were never delivered, but did show up on the bill. The only response from the server was to take the bill away, removing the excess charge, and then slamming the corrected bill back down on the table. No apology for the item never being delivered and still being billed. The food is decent here, but sadly these other things just make it such a disappointing experience. It's unfortunate as this place is very close to my home, but I'll just keep going to the other much better places around. read more

Went on a Tuesday night with a friend. Able to sit immediately with a pretty steady crowd throughout the night. Started with the soft pretzel bites and fried pickles. Fried pickles were a standout - very good and fresh. Had the fried cauliflower wings and curly fries. The assortment of wing sauces was impressive and I settled on the habanero mango (very good). Service was attentive and friendly while not being over bearing. Had a great time and will definitely come back. read more

I've been here many times and they quality has varied from one visit to another, but this visit was pretty bad, from the lackluster service (with literally NO ONE in the dining room) to the food generally lacking in flavor, attention and quality. Having a huge menu with far too many choices doesn't mean it's a GOOD menu. My friend and i shared an appetizer of coconut chicken fingers. It was dry as could be, with scarcely any hint of coconut. More like coco-NOT. And the sauce was generic and cloying. My chili appetizer, billed as "hot and spicy" looked like Wendy's chili, except Wendy's is far more flavorful. It was as bland as could be, and in no way hot or spicy. And the way they doled out 3 red chips and 4 blue in a sea of white corn tortilla chips felt either haphazard, cheap, or both. And yeah, the proudly proclaim they are the best bar in Boston. They can't be the "best in Boston" in any category because THEY ARE NOT IN BOSTON BUT BROOKLINE. (Pet peeve.) I've had far better bar food at many other places around Boston, including TGI Fridays, almost any irish pub... This was ALMOST as bad as Applebees. I want to like this because it's affordable but it's just not very good.... read more

Strong cocktails and great low-key ambiance. Stick to your classic bar foods (wings, onion rings, fries, etc.), anything fried is good. I had a salad here that was very meh. Trivia Tuesday is pretty fun here and is always packed. Get there earlier to get a table. The servers are really friendly but the owner obviously plays favorites with certain patrons - it's like a Clubhouse for him and his buddies - and gives less of a crap if you're not a regular which is a terrible way to go about business. He'd rather have a laugh with his buds than check-in on his customers or even assist with a drink order. read more

These assholes ripped us off so badly it's unbelievable. We were there, met some out of town friends that BOUGHT OUR DRINKS and then the girl behind the bar (who was clearly drunk) charged us over a hundred dollars more FOR THE SAME DRINKS and was a complete jerk to us. Then she had the nerve to call over her goon bar back to threaten us to "get the fuck out". Like a frat house. Later, we called the manager and he was a complete piece of sh*t too. So much for "the customer is always right". A HUGE FU to these dickheads. Will NEVER BE BACK. The food is pure dog shit too. We both had diarrhea for 2 days. Save your money and avoid this place like the plague unless you like eating shit and getting ripped off by bullies and fucking jerks. read more

Extremely rude staff. Walked in and waited to be sat. No one sat us so we sat ourselves at a high top. One man came over and rudely asked if he could help us. When we asked for a menu he said "you don't just seat yourself at a restaurant". I responded with this is a bar and not a restaurant. He then proceeded to rudely ask "in what kind of establishment do you seat" and I said a "...a bar?". We proceeded to leave. This was on November 20. I will never go back to that restaurant due to this one rude server. read more

Large enough to share . Then I had the Monkfish Marsala $22.75. My companion had the Swordfish Special $27.00. Kinda expensive but so worth. Great service just one server + one female chef . My only problem was the line out the door starring in , I felt rushed af Term dishes were cleared, I just had a half of glass wine left. But other then that it was a great meal . read more

Coolidge corner clubhouse is a fun, nice bar. As far as Boston sports bars go, the bar/restaurant is nice, with an extensive liquor and beer list (35 beers on tap). We sat at the bar for lunch, so we were given the smaller lunch special menu, although I'm sure we would've been given the full menu had we asked. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich (which I added avocado to) with curly fries, which was very good although not too exciting. My boyfriend ordered the steak tips with fries, which came in a barbecue marinade. The steak tip meal came with only 4 steak tips, but were large (according to the menu, .5 lb of steak) Food was okay (although good, just nothing extraordinary) but the extensive drink choices and the ambiance made up for any lacking in food. I will definitely come back here, likely for lunch and also for sporting events or other nights when we want a casual spot for drinks and food. read more
