Hamilton Restaurant & Bar

I had high hopes for Hamilton. I’ve lived in the area for a while, and have heard good things about this place. Unfortunately, my friend and I were pretty disappointed by our experience. Firstly, our waitress was super nice, but pretty green. Service was really slow, and my friends drink had lipstick (that was not hers) on it. The real issue for me was when the food came out. We both got the appetizer chicken tender ($16 each) and we split a side of fries ($6). What came out was nothing short of abysmal. The wings were not hot, came with a measly 2 carrot/celery sticks, and the side of fries was a joke. I think having $16 tenders and $6 fries would be acceptable, but as you can see for yourself in the picture, these were nothing special. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless it were for a drink. Don’t waste your time or money.

I really enjoy this bar especially on a week night when it's not full and loud and their outdoor section in the back is great for summer! The food is good and dependable bar food. It can sometimes be hit or miss but for the most part I think the food is better than most reviews depict. Will definitely be coming back here this summer!

Hamilton Restaurant & Bar in Brookline is a true gem! I had lunch there with my son and we were both thoroughly impressed. The steak tips were perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Paired with fresh, crisp broccoli and creamy mashed potatoes, it was a satisfying and comforting meal. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. It was a great experience from start to finish, and I’m already looking forward to our next visit.

It was a solid pub. I visited on a Thursday, and it was quite full. The location is great—conveniently close to the T station. The food was good enough for a bar. However, they could use more staff at the bar. With only two bartenders covering, it didn’t seem sufficient, and they were too busy to attend to everyone efficiently.

Really cool Irish bar! Everyone verry attentive and hospitable. Food awesome!! Great draft beer selections! The owner was an awesome dude, around and helping his staff. Great vibe all around. This will be my new spot. Its a shame its only 4 stars..should be 5 no question.

My son took me here for lunch today while he was on break from testing next door. It's our first time in the area and the food is more than 5 stars. Next time we're In the area we'll be there for lunch again. My son and I both recommend this place the prices are fantastic as well.

The owner is super nice! Great dive bar with decent pub food! Brussel sprouts and the mac and cheese are excellent! You're better off ordering the stew than the cottage pie and the bartender needs to learn what Picklebacks are if they're going to have them on the menu! For 10$ each, at least they're pouring doubles!

At first we went inside to eat but it was like an oven in there. I'm not sure if they have a/c and it was just broken but we decided to eat outside as it was actually cooler outside. Our server Aimee was wonderful and the food was great. The only disappointment was they were out of dessert as well as the ingredients for a specific drink we wanted. Overall the experience was positive and we look forward to coming back soon.
