Grainne O'Malley's Tavern

Set in Brookline’s Coolidge Corner, the tavern functions as a relaxed neighborhood anchor with an unpretentious atmosphere and friendly service. The kitchen centers on reliable plates like outstanding Reubens, fish tacos, and steak tips paired with crisp fries. Desserts are unadvertised, leaving diners to ask what was made that day—frequently revealing slices of rich chocolate cake. The room carries an easygoing hum that tilts loud mid-week, when a diverse mix of locals, students, and varied age groups packs in for Wednesday trivia.
