The Full Review
The Regal Beagle is Brookline's answer to "I want good beer and food but I'm tired of college bars." This cozy spot on Harvard St has the vibe of a neighborhood pub that happens to take its craft beer very seriously.
The beer selection is excellent—rotating taps that feature local breweries and interesting finds. If you're into craft beer, you'll find something new to try every visit. The staff actually knows their stuff and can make recommendations.
The food is elevated pub fare. The burger is better than it needs to be. The brunch (weekends only) features solid classics like biscuits and gravy. Nothing revolutionary, but everything well-executed.
The vibe is mature and cozy—exposed brick, good lighting, conversation-friendly volume. It's where you go when you want a nice night out without the chaos of Allston. Perfect for a casual date or catching up with friends.
A short walk from BU through Brookline, it feels like a mini escape from campus while staying convenient. Grad students and upperclassmen love it here.
