Coolidge Corner Clubhouse

Shockingly bad service which made for an awkward and inadequate experience. I ordered food and 15 minutes after it arrived I hadn't been checked in on, hadn't been offered another drink, had no water, et cetera . . .but the server and another worker came and stood across from my table talking about video games for several minutes. Did they think I was going to dine and dash? Why would 2 workers ignore a customer actively dining, but stand chit chatting facing them? If they have 5 minutes to talk video games, surely they can offer a customer water or other items to order. At the very least, someone could have asked once about my order and/or offered more. I worked as a bartender for a decade. I can't imagine acting this way when my livelihood depends on tips, or even just being so rude to another human. I expected to buy a somewhat overpriced meal, and that's what I signed up for. I did expect at least decent service, or just basic courtesy. Food was good - not great, but I read the reviews and was on board for that. Side note: the atmosphere inside seemed nice, and the bartender also seemed friendly and competent in contrast. It's a VERY rare occasion where I tip less than 20%, even for mediocre service. I tipped 15% which I'm sure is most than most people would have in that situation. It's noteworthy that the bathrooms are tiny and hard to navigate for an ambulatory person of any size. Anyone requiring a cane, chair, or other ambulatory needs would be unable to utilize a restroom. In summary: When serving patrons, a few moments make the difference in your pay. Pretend to care for 3 sentences worth of interactions at least.

AVOID ! Much better options in Brookline Just because this place has been around for years does not mean you take your customers for granted . This is a neighborhood area not a location for tourist trap !!! We also had the Caesar salad with Grilled Chicken ugh yuckie . Don’t mind paying the price but serve quality food The chicken was loaded with salt .. just could not eat it . What’s up with the quality of food ! Been going there for a while but never again .

Perfect place for a game! We enjoyed great food and lots of TV's. Add a dash of friendly service and we were highly satisfied. Dessert was a Celtics win with drinks.

The bar is a cool spot, for a small local bar and the staff are super nice and a lot of fun. With a decent list of beers but nothing super special just a number of options. Food.....so portion size is decent. The apps was really where its at. They where all really good. Main courses are hit and miss. I think just stick to the burgers as these went down well. Other options really did not.

Food is decent, I really liked the burger and wings. A lot of fried food here but it has a good vibe and it’s a great spot for sports. Our waitress was super inattentive however which definitely lessened the experience here

Evidently one has to look at the actual menu from CCCH to find out what is actually included in your order before going to Grub Hub to order. I ordered a blackened chicken wrap and it came with cheese and black beans, which I did not order. I was told I should have checked their own menu for a description. That is certainly a waste of time. Your menu on Grub Hub should be the same as the menu in your restaurant. I was not offered the correct wrap by the restaurant which I find bad for business. You can bet I'm not ordering from them any more.

I’ve been a regular here with my stepson, both for dine-in and takeout, and it’s usually great. But tonight was a letdown. We had two servers who were clearly not communicating—one brought the wrong food, didn’t take our order properly, and never brought a second drink. When I tried to clarify things with the second server, he was condescending and dismissive. We ended up leaving and dining elsewhere. Disappointing experience for a place we usually enjoy.

Great bar with many beers on tap. The French Dip sandwich was perfection and the onion rings were amazing. Service was fast and friendly.

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.

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.

It's a very nice spot to watch the game of the patriots! There are very good menus and draft beers. Staffs were very kind and knowledgeable for beers.

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.

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.

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.

Food and service is great. The staff are attentive and lively! We got the Buffalo fingers and cheese omelet for brunch. TVs galore!!

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.

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!

Went with my friend Aric and we got French toast and a steak sandwhich. The service was great and drinks were good! Great TVs for football

Watery flat beer? Check. Old beer that tastes like urinal cake? Check. Bartender drinking with keno players instead of asking how the beer is? Check.

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?

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..

Fast service, and an amazingly kind waiter who paid for our sodas! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. I would absolutely go here again.

Dana is the absolute best server ever. Single-handedly made my night. love this place and him.

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...

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.

Truly this was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever eaten. Whole grain wheat bread with white cheddar, two eggs, bacon, with home fries and tomato. Excellent!

RUDE RUDE server named Lilly - wanted nothing to do with us and spent most of the time sitting in back table on her phone. Drink was wrong, she did not want to deal and sent bartender over to resolve! Had to flag her down or walk over to that back table, to order, get check, and pay. Never came over and asked if food was okay or if we needed anything. We were so obviously annoyed that she made a snide remark as we were leaving. That sealed it. She seemed to want an altercation. Why is she employed there, so miserable and rude. Don't take it out on paying customers. We are regulars and she ruined the entire meal. Just wanted us gone. SUCKED!

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.

Not a bad brunch spot! I got the fried chicken and waffles. They were pretty good, very maple-y tasting. FYI, the fried chicken has turmeric in it.

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.

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.

I do not have enough words to express how horrible this place is. Don't go here. Ever. If you like being treated like shit, ripped off by drunk bartenders and bullied by bar backs that threaten you...this is your place. The manager is also a scum bag. When you call to tell him how your experience was and he tells you her understands and will get back to you...and then he never does. The owners don't care either. Never in my life have I witnessed a restaurant that is more abusive and disgusting to its clientele. They also ripped me off for over $150 on drinks that someone else paid for...but their drunk bartender was so drunk that she had no idea what was going on and put the same drinks on 3 different customers bills and then threatened us if we didn't pay. Honestly this place is a joke and I hope no one ever goes here. Good luck with the diarrhea from their food if you choose to ignore the warning...because on top of the way they treat you...their food is disgusting.

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.

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.

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....

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.

Great food but horrible service. Staff is super rude and slow and don't manage/check in on their tables very well. Also absurdly loud speakers in the restaurant. Would recommend ordering take out

They certainly brought their A game for lunch today! Service good, food excellent - highly recommend!

Kinda disappointed. Came to watch a Bruins game and relax after work. Ordered an app and lobster roll at the bar and was asked if I wanted them out separately. I said yes please. They came out the exact time ( a super pet peeve, I seriously consider withholding my entree order from now on). Pretzels were laying in a puddle of butter. Lobster roll really didn't have all that much meat and a huge leaf of lettuce on the bottom made it difficult to cut through to split it in two. Music was absolutely terrible and much too loud for what it was. The bar counter was oddly low or the stools too tall, the distance was super awkward. Service was good but not worth going back to. Too many gems in the area to bother.

Giving this a two instead of a one because our waitress was a sweet pea. But the bartender should not be in the service industry. Harry bud, if ur reading this, please learn your cocktails, stop only paying attention to locals, stop taking shots with ur servers in plain view, stop taking an hour to make a sh*tty cocktail, learn how the lottery machine works, and how bout don't turn ur back n walk away from a patron when they're mid sentence to u. Wouldn't be surprised if ur real name's not harry cus I'd be embarrassed to give my real name too after the lackluster service u provided my bf and I tonight, on my bday no less. Happy effin bday to me I guess, ay? Cheers mate.

Fantastic food, very open to getting creative with special requests, Alixadra was an amazing waitress. The manager was absolutely horrible! Yelling, scolding...we empathize w how tough food service and how guests can be but we were scolded for their mistake of losing our credit card and mayo on our lobster. He ruined our evening but the vibe and food was great! We'd go back, but need some therapy first

Ok - this place has pretty harsh reviews. When I first moved to Boston I would come to this place a lot to watch sports and KNOW that I will get a GIANT meal of food. I have now returned several years later and thought it was still ok! I don't think they claim to be anything modern as far as food, but the titles of the sandwiches are entertaining and it is not all that bad in reality. Stepping in here you know that you want to have a basic burger/sandwich and a side of frozen fries so give them a break! And also why are you ordering delivery from here?? No one likes cold fries, it is not their fault, that's yours. Also nachos are equivalent to a basketball on the table. Keep that in mind! :) Cheers!

French dip is amazing and so are the sweet potato fries. Love that they have one on the menu too since you can't find it everywhere. Customer service was really good.

Open for food until 2am = check + Cool drink menu = check + Variety of food options = check + Service = check + Bathroom door = check - WTF Overall rating = ****

After walking into a covid nightmare around the corner we stopped in to CCC. It was busy, mid 30s scene not the animal house party we just left. Great spacing and following the covid guidelines. We split some wings and tossed back some beers. Had a great time watching sports. My wife had a salad and I had an amazing burger. The decor is a little like man cave sports theme but the scene is very comfortable. It is very underrated if you ask me, it's a great local spot with good service. The burger is no joke, it's the what ylu want from a burger in a sports bar. It was actually the first time we went but might make it a regular thing.

Very tasty burgers, pretty good chicken and fish sandwiches. Decent lobster rolls too, but I'd buy those elsewhere tbh. Burgers are the move here. Loses a star because the fries or onion rings are always cold when you do a pickup order. Also skip the tomato aioli. It's gross.

This place is just a regular joint, it will do the trick if you just wanna come and watch some sports. Nothing special. The food is overpriced and the bathroom is tiny

CCC is my favorite place to go to when I just want some down time with some amazing people. Every time I go there I'm greeted with such a warm welcome from the servers and the bartender! The food is amazing and I've never had any issues with any person, any meal or any drink and if I did the staff is so understanding and helpful that asking for something different wouldn't be an issue. HUGE thanks to Matt, he's never led me a stray with any meal/ drink choice. I HIGHLY recommend CCC. The vibe, the music, food and drink are all 10/10!

My husband & I stopped by for a quick lunch. I had heard they have great steak tips and good nachos. I didn't have room for 1lb of tips, so I decided on the BBQ Chicken Nachos and added guacamole. Positively delicious and HUGE! My husband got the chicken parm sliders which he destroyed as well as the pretzel which he also cleaned up. I had also heard their Mud Pie was amazing...so we finished with their original Mud Pie. It was VERY tasty and big as well. Needless to say I pretty much waddled out after eating so much my tummy hurt. This would be a fantastic place to watch just about any sporting event as they have a ton of tvs. But it is pretty small, so I can see there being an issue getting a seat for a big game.

The Clubhouse use to be my go to place for lunch and occasional dinner, but after my last take out order of buffalo wings, i don't think i will be going back anytime soon. $15 for small dried out old looking wings, disgusting. And they tasted worse than they looked. Very disappointing. Its hard to find consistency and quality these days. Stay away!!!

Been coming here for 30 years. I drive all the way from Marblehead every few months. I grew up in Buffalo and I have always rated them the best wings in Boston and New England. Too bad Andy sold the place Ordered the wings, still called "Left Wingers" and they arrived grilled, not left wings (should have been connected), and sauce was lightly squirted on them, not obviously mixed in a bowl with the sauce evenly. I was shocked. I asked for them to be re mixed and they came back with more sauce squirted on them and still half bare. I had a salad that was great though. The waitress (Camille) was very nice as well. Very disappointed. Not the same clubhouse. On to Buffs Pub.

Stopped in here after going to the Coolidge Corner Theater one night. Standard pub grub, good wine pours, friendly service. The menu is pretty big so you have a lot of choices. I got the buffalo chicken dip and a side salad. Both hit the spot. They have trivia and TVs, so would be a good place to go for watching the games or playing trivia w/ your friends.

Avoid like the plague, especially if you are ordering by way of Grubhub, Uber, et. al. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich. Now y'all know what pulled pork looks like, right? What it DOESN'T look like is chunks of white meat with some kind of sauces, slathered in melted cheese of some sort, and topped with bacon strips. My suspicion is that whoever filled the order just got it wrong. Then we ordered two desserts which were MIA (although there were two containers of melted Vanilla ice cream!). I called the Clubhouse. The guy/kid answering the phone claimed not to know what the pulled pork sandwich looked like because they had just changed its format this past weekend! Yeah... O.K. Cutting to the chase, he says, call Grubhub. I say, so, you make the mistakes and I have to run Grubhub down to come back and fill out our order?! He says that if he had a bike he'd ride it over. When I remarked on his professionalism, he hung up. That's the Coolidge Corner Clubhouse. The food that arrived was highly inferior. If you want a sports bar, don't come here; go to those around Fenway where you won't be disappointed, where they can fill orders correctly, and you won't be pissed off and disrespected by "staff."

I got the mixed grill. Super not pleased. It was extremely salty and oily. I had to cut it with other food but also highly considered not eating it for the sake of my heart. Would never order this - hoping others have had a better experience.

Do not visit this establishment. I was there at 6 pm on Sunday May 1st, and they are a bunch of racists. We were seated at the bar and decided to purchase "tokens" for the jukebox and played some mainstream music like Bad Bunny and Shakira, and since we decided to sing along to some of our hispanic music in our native tongue, the bar decided to lower the music on us. Not sure if we didn't meet their standard, but I thought since I paid to listen to whatever music was in the jukebox, we were all good. I wouldn't think that in 2022 I would have to deal with blatant racism in Brookline. FIRST AND LAST TIME STEPPING INTO THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

I do a fair amount of work in the Coolidge Corner area and it's a great place to hang out. Kinda like what we had in Harvard Square with local shops before chains started moving in. The centerpiece of the area, I think, is the Cinema which always has great, thoughtful flicks. There are any number of restaurants around but when I want a burger, I always go to the Clubhouse. Alas, they changed up the menu and don't have as many burger selections as they used to. But they still have a pretty good burger (as bars often do) and so we went there the other night. Love their sweet potato fries too. Truthfully I don't think I've ever had anything other than a burger there as they're so good and I'm a burger junkie. Nice selection of beers too but for the first time ever, I sent one back. It was a Jack's Abby and to me it tasted like dirty water. The Sam Adams was better. That never happened before. Lastly, the atmosphere is fun and convivial, the waitresses good yet unobtrusive. If you're looking for a good bar with good bar food, check it out. And I'm gonna have to try something else there. When I do I'll update the review.

Small quint place got there early/ 5:00pm just in time . Order a glass of Pinot Grigio. $7.00, had two . Started w/ the Clams Casino $12.50, for (5). We shared a Mixed Green salad $7.50. 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 .
