Best place to hum the Cheers theme song
It's true: sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. And while perhaps not everyone at
the Washington Square Tavern will find your face familiar, it's quite likely owner Gerry Finnegan will.
In the two-plus years that the Tavern's been feeding and watering Brookline locals and visitors, Finnegan
has managed to get to know an impressive percentage of his clientele. And his clientele, in turn, have
rewarded him with loyalty: the Tavern's tables are frequently jammed, and hour-long waits on weekend
nights are not uncommon. But diners crowd around the well-stocked bar and stick it out because the food's
so good - and perhaps because Finnegan would scold them by name if they didn't.
Washington Square Tavern, 714 Washington Street, Brookline, (617) 232-8989.
