What You'll Get
Before sports bars, the only place to view eight games simultaneously was inside the brain of a spider. Achieve octovision with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of pub fare at Coolidge Corner Clubhouse in Brookline. This deal is for dine-in only and cannot be used for lobster rolls.
Coolidge Corner Clubhouse bills itself as a superior sports bar and pub; it keeps its word by offering a gigantic menu of carefully crafted American eats and an atmosphere that has "the requisite coziness and camaraderie," according to Boston magazine , which named it best Boston sports bar in 2003. The burger board offers creative takes named for sports celebs, such as the Marvin Hagler (topped with bacon and blue-cheese crumbles, $13.99). Boneless buffalo wings ($9.99) and vegetarian fajitas ($13.99) can resolve meat-eating differences by cheering for the same team.
Coolidge Corner Clubhouse's commitment to sports is crystal clear on its 21 HD TVs (each with its own satellite receiver); click here to see the sports schedule. If MLB Extra Inning, ESPN Full Court, or any of the slew of sport packages on the screens don't suit you, access the free WiFi in search of excerpts from Rodney Dangerfield's autobiography. Weekend brunch is also available.
Reviews
Boston magazine named Coolidge Corner Clubhouse best Boston sports bar in 2003. Zagat gives the restaurant a good rating and more than 160 Yelpers give it a three-star average. Citysearchers award it an average of 3.5 stars.
- The “menus are entertainment in themselves”, as the sandwiches are named after athletes at this “small” Brookline sports haven offering a “huge variety” of “basic”, “bang-for-the-buck” American pub grub in “massive portions” – Zagat
- Deeelish, and enough food to give me two dinners. My burger was so large I had to squish it down just to make it fit into my doggie bag! – Lalalauren, Citysearch

About Coolidge Corner Clubhouse
What began over 25 years ago as a sports bar with only five TVs has blossomed into a mecca for fans of Boston sports teams and lovers of hearty pub fare. All year long, visitors to Coolidge Corner Clubhouse root on local collegiate and professional teams on 27 LCD screens while feasting on 16-ounce burgers named after famous athletes as well as tender morsels of barbecued pork and shrimp.
Of course, surrounded by framed photos of Boston's proudest sports moments, like a floor-to-ceiling print of Adam Vinatieri's famous 45-yard kick during the "Snow Bowl", patrons also sip frosty craft beers and hand-crafted cocktails as they share plates of chicken wings and nachos.
