7 Best Bars in Amherst

“We had one of the best meals we've ever had in western Mass recently at Protcol. It was our fourth or fifth time there and they're really perfecting their operation. Loved the short rib with arepas for 2, dill hummus, and mushroom spatzle. (sp). Killer cocktails always. Worth the drive from Northampton!“

“We've been coming here for years and love the atmosphere. On our last couple of visits, we were served infected beer. Disappointing when a beer-focused bar doesn't keep its lines clean. Also: prices on the bottle list don't always correspond with what's in their computer (what was listed as a $7 bottle on the menu rang up for several dollars more).“

“Ive never had an unimpressive dish from El Comalito. Everything Ive had is awesome. BUT, I will say that the Carne Asada burrito, is nothing short of incredible. Beans or no beans, either way is amazing. Better than Bueno y Sano, better than La Veracruzana, better than Garcias, Better than Mission Cantina, its hands down the best in the area. In a town full of similar Latin American restaurants, El Comalito stands out on a different level.“

“I always love to come to the spoke. I’m an avid customer from over the years and I was charged $26 for 2 drinks that we’re $6.50 last week. I’m really not happy with the spoke rn“

“Outdoor seating with heat lamps and fire pit“

“The Salmon and Filet was probably the best meal and quality we’ve ever had. The waitstaff and chef were personable and friendly. The atmosphere was light and clean. I plan to bring everyone I know to experience the quality of their meals. 5 stars for us!“

“This place has a friendly Atmosphere, The Bartender is Great and it's not so packed even with the UMass Students back in school. You can smoke and bring your drink outside. But don't pass that porch or YOUR OUT. and Bartender Dan is on it and don't play..“
