Located directly on Beacon Street, Hamilton is right in the heart of Coolidge Corner. With 250 person capacity, our restaurant offers a comfortable atmosphere matched with an elevated dining experience. Incorporating elements such as a vintage table designed from wood used on the USS Constitution, and a stained glass window flown over from Ireland – the space is designed intentionally to foster warmth, friendship, and relatability. Established from multi-cultural ownership in both America and Ireland, we’ve incorporated historical elements of each culture in a very modern way.

    I've been eating here every few months since they opened. The service for this visit was really bad. We were seated and no one came over for 15 minutes (the restaurant was quiet, so it's not like they were too busy). I eventually walked over to the bar to ask for help, and they sent someone over who said "no one told me you were here". That would have been sort of forgivable, especially given that food was delivered quickly, but then when it was time for the bill, our server was nowhere to be found. I asked another server for the bill but he disappeared. I eventually gave up and paid my bill at vet bar.

    This restaurant confirmed our reservation numerous times including the day of, only for us to show up anf find a sign on the door indicating they closed for the weekend. If you are going to last minute decide to close your restaurant, how do you not let people with reservations know????? Do better.

    They seemed to forget we were seated even though we had a res (which wasn’t needed). Took over 30 minutes to even get a drink order in. Once we ordered things went more smoothly.

    Great spot with solid food and drink selection. Service felt a bit slow for how crowded it was, but overall a fun place to hit with outdoor options and lots of TVs for the sports fans.

    There aren't many restaurants around with a pub vibe; Hamilton's is one. The good was good but not haute cuisine, but tasty. The energy was upbeat and the service was very good--you felt attended to but no one hovering over you every ten seconds to move you along. I would go back again if I'm in the area and want a nice, reasonably priced meal and a drink.

    Took 1 1/2 hours to get an order of French toast and two eggs— and they messed up the order multiple times, and messed up the bill. The music (brunch) was great though!

    It was really loud inside and our table was uneven. At least our server did try to fix it for us. The tables inside are high tables which are not my favorite since I'm short. It took ages for our server to come and take our order and then quite a long time again before the food arrived. Our server was nice and apologized for the wait. At least we got our food - the table next to us had to threaten to leave before their food was finally brought to them. Our food was good (thank goodness) but I don't think I'll be in any rush to go here again. It may have been more pleasant had we sat outside. I think it's fine if you are just going for a bar atmosphere but not if you are just going for a meal.

    Made reservations and brought my visiting family to brunch on Palm Sunday. Hamiltons was chosen because the bunch menu looked delicious. When we arrived we were informed that brunch was not being served. There was an apology but no explanation. We were given a standard lunch menu….no option for even breakfast (12:30). Server was obviously working very hard to keep up with customers but it was very clear the restraint was seriously understaffed. We don’t plan to return.

    Upon arriving I was told that the owner had been trying to get off OpenTable for a while. It was clearly not being updated since the restaurant was full and the patio was not open but OpenTable showed full availability every 15 minutes indoors and outdoors. Having said that, the staff went out of their way to find me a table, checked in on me several times to make sure I was comfortable and the service was excellent. The steak tips were over cooked and the mashed potatoes bland, but the tiramisu was delicious.

    The service here is consistently bad— taking an hour to take your order, forgetting things, taking forever, not being knowledgeable about the menu, messing up orders. I realize they get busy with trivia, but then the restaurant should hire more servers to offset the load. The food is also pretty bad and overpriced. I would stick to only wings or any cheap specials, even the fries are disappointing somehow. That being said, they host the best trivia ever and all the faults are worth it to go to the trivia. Wish the menu was better.

    Our server did a great job considering he didn’t have much help as he was the only one. Short staffed and many items on menu not available. Hostess should have alerted us when she seated us. Flatbread is not a flatbread. It is more like a naan pizza.

    A few of their brunch staples were out of stock (even jam) and what came (drinks and food) didn’t seem very fresh or high quality, like bland cocktail mix and overcooked eggs. Forgivable at a cheap diner but I expected more in Coolidge Corner and at Brookline prices. The server was kind and apologetic, but their kitchen could step it up with very little additional effort or cost.

    We went to Hamilton for Saturday night dinner with our son while we were in town for BC family weekend. Initially, we were seated close to the bar, which was a bit loud for my hearing impaired husband, but when we asked about moving the staff was very accommodating. They couldn’t have been nicer. Our waiter was great and the food was delicious-just what we wanted after a chilly football game. Definitely worth a visit!

    It was date night for my husband and I. We had a concert over at the Fenway. Carlie was our server and she was absolutely fabulous! she said she was fairly new but had such extensive knowledge about the menu that I feel the establishment has trained their employees well. I am sure that this place is a lot busier when the college crowd comes back but the evening that we went was perfectly quiet and the food was amazing. My husband absolutely loved the hand mashed potatoes, and my brussels sprouts were out of this world delicious with the bacon. We will definitely be back!
