The Washington Square Tavern

We recently moved to the area and a local told us to come. Came for the first time last night and it did not disappoint! Love the ambience, feels like an old world library. The red blend wine I had was fantastic. We did the tavern arincini as an appetizer and it was great and perfect portion so we did not ruin our dinner-- which were even more amazing. The steak in the steak frites was massive and my butternut squash or ravioli was phenomenal. Will definitely be coming back!

Always a good experience here, a very cosy pub atmosphere with a great beer selection. Their food is awesome and is definitely not pub grub! They usually have specials as well, the tuna was fantastic. They have heated outdoor seating as well through the winter with plenty of heaters, we will be back to sit outside!

The best outdoor dining set up I’ve seen in the Boston area! The food was delicious and the portions were great. The duck breast and octopus were particularly tender and scrumptious. Each table is provided with three heaters, so both my girlfriend and I were warm and comfortable (despite it being 15 degrees out). All Covid precautions were taken seriously and we will be back!

A 5 star would be a low end rating…this restaurant deserves nothing but a 10 star! Our first stop once we arrive in Boston! The food, the ambience, the staff, the knowledge of wines from all over the world and the selections are second to none! The food is consistently spectacular; from simplicity to exquisite, top chef, Luis is phenomenal creating daily dish specials that keeps you coming back! Thank you Jerry and Alma for a wonderful inviting neighborhood restaurant, that welcomes those near and far! 💕

Pretty good fish and chips. Tiramisu for dessert was nice.

Finally dined @ Washington St Tavern after a few years of following and it didn’t disappoint. Atmosphere just what I expected - low light, warm/comfortable and tavern feel. House Rye Old Fashioned made perfectly, burger 10/10 - crisp exterior, meat perfectly seasoned, cooked just right and some of the best bleu cheese we’ve had (can’t forget to mention the French fries), Scallops served with butternut squash purée and shaved Brussel sprouts were delicious and beautifully presented. I don’t get out to Brookline often, so glad I finally made it. Will be back soon.

Cosy pub in the Washington Square area of Brookline. Great place to grab dinner or meet up with friends without having to worry too much about reservations.

Located centrally in Washington Square. Excellent well hearted patio. We ordered Burrata, octopus, and gnocchi dishes and hot Toddy cocktails. Perfect for the weather. The stuff is supper helpful and attentive.

This place is amazing. The food, staff, and whiskey is the best of the best!!!! Go there today you will love it!

A family favorite. Something for everyone. Well prepared comfort food in a warm and cozy tavern. Consistently great. Wonderful warm and engaging owners. Great staff.

I have to tell you, my family has been going to the Tavern since it opened, we have always enjoyed ourselves. A restaurant experience done consistently over the years I find exceptional. I write this review because of a dinner Friday evening with my colleagues. I wanted them to experience the warm, welcoming personal atmosphere. Well Gerry, Alma, Sam, Chefs really out did themselves. I got calls from all in attendance stating that it was one of the best meals and dining experiences ever.

Thank you

Great place and great service! They moved chairs to make sure our baby had room at the table. The trout was amazing and perfectly cooked.

Very good food, catering to an older crowd.

Awesome cocktails & ambiance. Menu looked great but we were too late to eat. However based on what we saw- well be back!

The eggplant Parmesan is delicious. The environment is laid back and the owner is incredibly nice. Highly recommend.

Great beer selection and food was amazing. Sat at the bar and glad we did

Our 17th wedding anniversary dinner was perfect!

Fantastic experience. Great outdoor dining set up, two heaters per table and a heat light above you. Server great. Food amazing. Went a group of 4 and everyone loved the food. Keep in mind this was the insanely cold week of January and we unzipped coats. That's how warm the set up. Great job!

The best food I have eaten in Boston in the last 20 years. The steak frite was amazing. Their wine list is the best. Will definitely be back soon.

Great selection of wine and whiskey! Fresh locally sourced ingredients were used for the variety of apps and entrees we tried. We enjoyed everything so much! The Tavern has a 'local' vibe and the staff was very courteous.
