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“

“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“

“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..“

“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!“
