    Bayberry is a pretty nice place to kill an hour or two with some gutter-balling. The place is well…read morelit and the music is set at just the right volume to be an enjoyable background. The lanes are in good condition and it's an affordable place to visit. There are pool tables as well, if that's your thing. The small arcade at the front entrance can kill some time and is a great distraction for younger kiddos. There isn't much of a food service, so you've got what the soda machines against the back wall will provide for you. The staff is friendly, and there is a 4% discount for paying with cash.

I got there with less than 45 minutes before a league was about to start! But the staff was super nice and still let me have a lane - they never rushed me, even though I knew the league was coming and the lanes had already started filling up with folks. The people who were assigned to my lane never rushed me either! I ended up fitting in 2 whole games before I left (again, no one asked me to leave, even though I was on someone's assigned lanes, and there were maybe 10 minutes before league starting). What a fun experience, and everyone was so nice. It's a pity I don't live closer - but I'd definitely go again the next time I drive through. Everything seemed well maintained and very clean. The arcade area was well kept, and the pool tables were in great condition!

    I don't typically leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience. I'll start with the…read moreone positive: the facility itself was clean. Unfortunately, everything else about the visit was disappointing. My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday, and it was also our first time visiting since recently moving to Massachusetts. When we arrived around 10:30 PM, we went to purchase tokens for the arcade games. At that time, we were told we should buy all the tokens we wanted immediately because token service would be closing in about 20 minutes. This seemed unusual considering the business advertises closing at 2:00 AM. I mentioned that we could simply use the self-service machines later if needed, but we were told those might also be shut down soon due to being short staffed. We then decided we would just get drinks and bowl instead, but we were informed that the bartender would also be leaving shortly. When I said we would just order drinks right away, we were then told the bartender was currently on break. At this point, I was confused and frustrated because we had called the business only a couple of minutes before arriving and were not told that services would be shutting down early. We had specifically planned our evening based on the posted hours. Another staff member kindly offered to sell us bottled drinks but explained he could not make cocktails until the bartender returned. While purchasing those drinks, we were also told that lane purchases would be closing soon due to the same staffing issue. At that point, we decided to just pay for two games of bowling and end the night early since it seemed like multiple services were shutting down. After we started bowling, the bartender returned from break. When I finished my drink and went to the bar to order a mixed drink, I stood there waiting for some time. The bartender made eye contact with me, but then proceeded to serve another guest who had just walked up after me. I found this frustrating and ultimately decided not to order anything further. I understand that staffing shortages happen and that employees can have difficult shifts. However, the lack of communication about services closing early and the overall experience made what was meant to be a special birthday outing very disappointing--especially as a first experience at this establishment. I hope this was an isolated situation, but based on this visit, I unfortunately would not recommend it.

    I don't understand how this place has such bad reviews! If youre in the area I would definitely…read morerecommend coming! The games were amazing quality and very clean. The staff were also amazing. They also had my favorite game Project Diva!! I'll definitely be coming again!!!

    The last thing I want to do is admit that a cocktail bar in this area is good. I hate driving to…read moreEasthampton (not your problem), I hate parking in Easthampton (not your problem...maybe), and there're lots of places I'd rather be. HOWEVER...I've been to Gigantic at least three times now and I have to admit that going out of your way is worth it. The drink list is not huge, but it's never boring, changes often enough to keep me interested, and I don't recall getting anything less than excellent. If they're willing to do a "bartender's choice" type thing (I haven't tried), I might have to go even more often. To address some of the things that others mentioned: Yes, it's small, but lots of good places are. Yes, the drinks take awhile, but I don't know of ANY high-end cocktail place that can cranks them out. Get over it and enjoy your time there. I've never experienced rude or pretentious (anymore than that are always is) service, but that would annoy me. The server/bartender has always been quite nice to my friends and me. I also checked out their list of vintage liquors last time I was there. I didn't try any (because money) but the fact that they have them at all is impressive.

    Came here excited to try out the cocktails of one of the 10 best new bartenders in the country -…read morehttps://punchdrink.com/articles/best-new-bartenders-2025/ While we were not from the area, we were cautioned by several friends that Gigantic might not live up to the hype. What we did like was the old school music, vintage feel that took on the vibes of an antique shop (it was fun to look around), and the intimate setting. The cocktails were really good and creative with a menu that updates frequently and featured some classics as well. The cocktails were a bit pricey for what you got and for the area, the snack options were very limited and overpriced, and service was very slow despite few people being in the bar. We had to ask to be served and waited over 15 minutes for the check. We are glad we checked out Gigantic and would not recommend going out of your way for it as there are other great cocktail bars in neighboring towns.
