10 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).“

“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 meal had a wide variety of flavors, the carnitas tacos were a mix of spicy, savory, and piquant, albeit, a little dry. The salsa was very vinegary and sour, but it had a good spice to it too. The horchata was overly sweet and saccharine. Overall it was a decent meal with its pros and cons.“

“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“

“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.“

“Super chill bar. I'm in town from NC for a few days and I felt at home there.

The locals were awesome and welcoming. Loads of good banter!

Bartenders were friendly and attentive also. Definitely going back before I leave!“

“This place was absolutely amazing! Our server was the best we've ever had (and we are both former servers)!! The oysters were out of this world!! Our meal was superb!!! We were a bit crowded in for a Wednesday night but it's a great problem to have!! Can't wait to go back again!!“

“Outdoor seating with heat lamps and fire pit“
