I lived in Brookline for 2 years, and this was my go-to place for awesome food. A huge array of food items on the menu, an incredible beer selection, and the best steam beer burgers ever!

Well I have seen some negative reviews around here and most of them seem to concern the door guys or inattentive bar staff. These are usually first time visitors that had a weird experience (probably due to their drunkenness) and I don't think they are giving this place a fair shake. The door guys DO have a quick turn around so you always have someone new (kinda a pain) but I have not had any of these problems and I have been coming here for 5+ years (maybe that is the reason?). During baseball season I grace this tavern usually 3-5 times a week for games.
Sure you can get a cheaper draft down at the Avenue, but the food deals here can't be beat. They run $3 burger and fries (meal size) all the time and $6 1-pound of steak tips and fries a couple times a week. Not to mention their cobb salad special and London Broil special. They will usually have a draft or bottle special on rotation from month to month and the High Life's are always cheap.
As for TV's it is a great place to watch a game. The main bar has so many LCD's that you can usually watch multiple games easily from one seat. Make sure you pick your seat wisely during football because they have the games listed for the TVs and will not change them.
I don't like going here on Fri/Sat nights though as this is the college meathead time. I like to sit with a pint and watch a game, not get a beer spilled on me while standing next to some barely legal drunk moron. If you are in to the 'cub' scene, this isn't a plcae for you but if you like to sit down, listen to some tunes, watch some sports and strike up a convo with the person sitting next to you, I am sure you will enjoy it.
If you like trivia, this is the only bar in Boston that has trivia 3 nights a week. Why do I know this? Because Will the host mentions it every damn time ;)
All-in-all it is my favorite bar in the area and I have been to them all. If you take this seriously and go, you'll probably run into me and not even know it.
Pros: Abience, Lots of TVs, Great Prices
Cons: Meatheads on weekend nights

I was visited my friend who lives nearby and we told me we had to get there by 11p. It was a little slow but I'm so glad we did! Shortly after, there was this huge line and I guess sometimes they charge a cover after 11p. I has so much fun! The dancefloor was a good size so you were bumping into people left and right, and the DJ was fantastic. He even played the songs we requested. When we got downstairs, it was a cool place catch our breath and chat with friends without screaming to each other.
Pros: The bartender guy who puts on a show for you when you order something.
Cons: Downstairs bathroom.

I love this place. I had lived in the area for years and never even knew it was there. A friend dragged me in and I absolutely loved the place. It feels like your hanging out at a house, hence the name. The drinks are cheap and there is plenty of talent there.

Very impressive beer selection, both on tap and bottles. Easy location. Accomodating service. You don't have to be a pool cat to have a good time here, there are plenty of spots to just have a seat and hang out with your crew/date. The food is a little pricey for what it is, but worth checking out for the drinks.

Doesn't matter what day I go, it's always fun. Great diverse college crowd, always great music and drinks are fairly priced. The dance floor is a good size and there is another one downstairs if the top one gets crowded. Cheap admission, i think ladies usually get in free before a certain time. My favorite no fail bar!
Pros: good music, good crowd
Cons: none really
