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!“

“What an incredible hole-in-the-wall pub. I was at a conference at UMass and was recommended to visit here for an eclectic selection of beers from around the world. So glad I took their suggestion! Soooo many delicious choices, from light to boozy. If you're daring, join the Mug Club.

Parking: Small number of spots adjacent to the building“

“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“

“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.“

“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..“

“I have been here for their Karaoke night that they do on every Tuesday. It's a nice, little, cozy and cheap hangout place. On Tuesday, it is pretty fun with friends because of their karaoke arrangements. You get to hear all kind of funny voices.“

“Outdoor seating with heat lamps and fire pit“
