6 Best Bars in Amherst

“Stopped in to Protocol when we landed in Amherst while doing some leaf peeping across central MA. They were doing their brunch menu. The menu wasn't huge, but everything on it was done spectacularly well - #SizeDoesn'tMatter. I had their omelette special and my wife had their Duck Poutine - they were both excellent. Made very well. We also had a couple of cocktails - if you get the chance to have their Spiced Pumpkin Spice Latte, definitely do it. Not too sweet with excellent flavor. We happen to get in when it wasn't busy, so we got great attention and were able to chat just a bit with the servers. Overall a great time - 5/5, would definitely recommend.“

“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.

“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.“

“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.“
