In a world where customer service is disappearing, that says everything you need to know about Publick House. I've been coming here for years, and the people have always been friendly and welcoming. It's my favorite spot in Brookline to grab a drink, catch up with friends, and, for whatever reason, I seem to have a pretty good track record of sealing the deal here. Five stars. Easy.

We sat at the bar, since it was mid afternoon. The bartender was quite friendly and served us well. The bar, and the restaurant, had a warm and cozy feeling. I had one of the hamburgers with a mix of French fries and onion rings (server's suggestion) and it was medium rare, just as I had ordered it. It was quite delicious and filling. My daughter had cheese pizza, which looked okay (I didn't try it). All in all, I will be dropping in again!

This is a go to for us in Brookline with great service, a variety of food and a casual environment…read more It feels like a local Izakaya that I have been to in Japan. You can get a variety of items from Yakitori (grilled meats on a skewer over a hibachi), Kushiyaki (the same with veggies), different types of sushi, tempura and classic hot dishes. You are quickly met at the door and seated and the restaurant. While it's a little bit dated, it is a pub and it is comfortable. The service is super attentive and always prompt. When you seated at the table, you immediately get water and a delicious cabbage salad gratis. You can get a picture of beer for $25 and a great selection of Sake and other cocktails. The food prices are very reasonable for the quality and value that you get. The food is always super tasty with the yakitori served hot. The sushi is fresh and delicious. The grilled salmon with vegetables is wonderful with a nice accompanying savory sauce.

This place has an outdoor patio seating area that overlooks Brookline Village. We ordered chicken katsu to start off and I ordered a bunch of different sushi rolls. I opted for Caterpillar Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, and Sweet Potato Roll. All were decent, though I've had better and fresher fish. The fish quality here isn't as high as many reviews claim it to be, it's not bad by any means but you can taste that it's not pristine. For this reason I would say my favorite of the evening was the sweet potato roll. Chicken katsu appetizer was just okay.

Wings with Buffalo Hot on a Friday lunch thankfully didn't come out within a suspicious two minutes of ordering, as my last few have. Smoke rising and piping hot, but only a light splash of sauce, with much of the wings still exposed. Nice bold flavor with pepper and vinegar components intertwining beautifully. Crispness achieved. Tenderness and juiciness, still in the past, at least based on my recent visits. Not totally dry, but too close for a joint that was once my gold standard for wings. Bonus points for mini chunks in the blue cheese.

This new-to-us brewery on the cute pedestrian-only Birch St. had an outdoor patio but we opted for seats inside. It's not a big place, but it has a good number of tables and bench seating in a brightly lit space. The Tall Man got the autumn flight of 4 beers (one being one of their maltinis), which he enjoyed for their variety. I wasn't up for imbibing so I got a Health-Aid kombucha from the fridge. (They also carry Athlete's nonalcoholic beer in cans.) They have some packaged snacks for purchase, but they encourage people to get food from local businesses to eat there. It was pretty darn convenient to pick up lunch from nearby Chilacates. It made for a very chill lunch and sip. We weren't even the only ones with a stroller! It was a relief to find a brewery that's not utterly mobbed and where we could bring the little one. I would definitely come back for another relaxing hangout.
