The Washington Square Tavern is a great place to go for a casual beer or a great dinner. The bar area is usually packed and there are few tables so be prepared to stand. The beer selection is very extensive....

Although the food and drink of the Washington Tavern has been very nice, I have not found the service to be up-to-par. Case in point: I've been trying to make reservations for about an hour now, and the line...

A great bar and bistro in Qashington Sq. The chef trained under Tood English and it shows. Great food from entrees from $12-$24. Another restaurant that changes its menu with the season. The...

The only thing I have to say is make sure that your ENTIRE party is with you when youa re seated, or else be prepared to wait. And make sure you don't have naother person come sit with you after you have been...

A nice place to go. Great selection of both beers and wines, and an excellent menu. A real mix of a crowd: it's loud and packed, but you can fit right in whether you're 21 or 41, part of a couple...

This is one of my favorite restaurants, period. It is the perfect combination of inviting pub atmosphere and outstanding food, with just the right amount of panache to thoroughly distinguish it from a "common"...

I definitely recommend the tavern for dinner. The food is excellent, the wine selection is great, and the service is friendly (as long as you aren't rude). It's busy Thursday through Sunday, unless you show up...

We were impressed with the atmosphere at this Washington Square eatery/pub, but our enthusiasm was quickly extinguished. LONG wait - and it sure seemed as though people who came in after us were getting seated...

I love going to the Washington Square Tavern. The food always blow's my mind. I like getting a table in the back - it's cozy back there. The wine list is great and very complementary to the dishes. The...

Went to this restaurant on a Thursday night. Was told it was a 30 minute wait, waited over an hour while many people (same number in our party) who arrived after us were seated. Apparently being friends with...

My boyfriend and I went there for dinner this past monday. We didn't have any alcoholic beverages, so I can't comment on the quality. I can comment on the food and the service though. Between the appetizer and...

Hands down the best restaurant or bar in Brookline. Need to update the listing. Chef Paul's gone. Sam Kochan is the head chef now.
