The last thing I want to do is admit that a cocktail bar in this area is good. I hate driving to Easthampton (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. read more

Came here excited to try out the cocktails of one of the 10 best new bartenders in the country - https://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. read more

Best time my wife and I had at a bar in a long time. Super cool atmosphere, friendly customers and staff, great drinks. An Elvis dedicated restroom!? Had an absolute blast. Highly recommended!! read more

Gigantic - Halloween party. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

I was introduced to Gigantic on a second date a couple years ago and I now return annually for their Escape the Northeast tiki pop-up every year. They totally transform the bar into a tropical escape. It's a delight just to wander the bar and discover all the different tchotchkes and memorabilia. In particular, there's a shrine to Elvis in the bathroom. The tiki drinks are a mix of traditional with creative new spins, and each is accompanied with the history of the drink and why the flavors are what they are. I like this background information to help one understand the whole tiki culture. There are generally only a couple people working the bar and it can get very crowded, but service has always been great on my visits. I look forward to this every year! read more

Very overpriced. Lotta junk. We liked this place initially and it became our regular stop on the way home after dinner. You can easily burn through $100+ on a couple of rounds. They claim to specialize in "craft" cocktails which I have no problem with and also have extensive knowledge of. We had an early dinner at Glendale Grill on a Wednesday night. I had 2 Chardonnay and my guy had 2 BBC . We were on the way home and decided to stop at Gigantic for a nightcap as it was barely 9:00. We each had a vodka and grapefruit then decided to order a second. The owner at that point decided to drop the check. We had just finished a substantial dinner at my former place of employment and were by no means intoxicated. That's all well and good as there are many other places to go where the staff is friendly and the cocktails are less than $30 each. read more

My friend brought me here for a nightcap round of cocktails. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable. They have spirits here with novel combinations that you cant find other places. Pretty much all the cocktails are about $13-15, which is pretty standard. The interior is dark and literally candle lit. There is limited seating in this semi-hole-in-the-wall. Both cocktails we got were freshly made and delicious. Give this place a shot read more

Gigantic - a menu for a restaurant on a table - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

Cocktail bar bliss. Came on a Thursday night and it was still fairly busy, but not overly crowded by any means. Menu has detailed descriptions about the history of the drinks on the menu (one was even accompanied by the poem it was published alongside 100 years ago). Service was perfect, attentive but not smothering. Drinks were tasty, well balanced and the menu had something for everyone. The bartender was making an off menu mocktail that looked to die for. Go and enjoy! read more

Oh Gigantic, I would make this a love letter but I won't! Easily one of the best bars I've ever been to. So warm, fun and chic. The atmosphere is BEYOND. So welcoming and holds a special place in my heart. Service amazing, cocktails amazing, STAFF one in a million. I'll let the drinks speak for themselves. read more

Cool bar for a date night. Excellent cocktails. I'm surprised how long it took me to notice this business as I frequently work in this area. Only complaint was that the service was terrible. Took a long time for someone to take our order (only 1 other person was at the bar at the time, so clearly not busy), took a long time to make our 2 drinks (acceptable as they were delicious), and took FOREVER to come back after our drinks were finished. In fact it was so long that our desire to have another round was gone and we just paid the tab and left. Will return and hopefully update this review with better results. read more

Gigantic - a drink in a copper cup on a table - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

REALLY NICE! I love an improvisational Manhattan, what can I say? And the lady barkeep on duty gave me something so nice, so smoky, so spicy... it was great! Yes, the place is tiny, that's why they call it "gigantic". I'm sure the folks running the place would love to have, and fill, a larger venue but it is what it is. The decor is interesting too, all sorts of antique crystal and photographs of long-past Presidents and a book wall full of quaint books. The only problem is that they have no parking area and the on-street parking is mighty sparse. read more

This place came highly recommended, and the cocktail I had did not disappoint. It was very nice. The selection of liquor is impressive, and the bar staff is very competent and knowledgeable. Ambiance is cute. But the manner of service is just too rude and pretentious. They seem to have forgotten that this is, after all, a small town in Western Mass where details of service matter. Again, very competent bar staff. But there are at least two other cocktail bars within a 5 mile radius with a similarly good bottle inventory and a similarly talented staff that understand service. read more

Great cocktails! Really nice guys serving up the drinks. Cool spot for a quiet hangout.

Delicious and inventive cocktails served in a cool spot. Pricey but worth the splurge.

What a beautiful lounge! Fills a big void amongst noisy sports bars, dance clubs, etc. Sometimes you just want to have pleasant conversation with chill background music while enjoying a well crafted cocktail. This is just the spot to lift off or wind down and escape chaos. They recently updated their specialty cocktails for the season. Went as a party of 4 and all of our drinks were expertly crafted and delicious. The decor is retro/classy/cozy. So unique and special. Definitely check this place out. read more

This is a nice bar. It has a nice vibe with the decor, lighting, and music. I had a couple of classic drinks (Martini and Sazerac) and both were made really well. Only complaint is that it's really small inside. The seats get taken quickly, and there isn't much standing room. read more

This petite bar has a spot-on gay Ernest Hemingway vibe. Key West era Ernest with the 6-toed cats. Drinks are delicious, folks are happy to be there. The playlists can be a little bizarre though--Ice Cube followed by mmmBop. read more

Gigantic - An assortment of cocktails- the names of which I can't remember except "Random White Dude" with the orange slice (the best one.) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

I usually make any excuse to cancel evening plans but I'm really happy I followed through and went. I rarely go to bars so I usually feel awkward but this place is so inviting and fun. Tasty(and strong)drinks , nice and unpretentious bartenders,disco ball and fun music to wiggle in my chair to. Worth the trip on a frigid night from Cummington to Easthampton.I shall return! read more

Cocktail bar with events and performances, bringing the fancy and the fun back to Cottage St. in the wake of Popcorn Noir/Platinum Pony's departure. Beautifully lit, easily the nicest looking and most unique interior on the street. A vast improvement over The Library (former occupant of the space), far more welcoming, including a floor to ceiling sliding window out on to the street in the warm months. Cocktails on the menu will set you back around $13, but you can get a regular well drink or a $3 Schaefer can. If you do spring for the fancy stuff, it's most definitely worth it. The charge of "Brooklyn hipsters" sticks: it's a tiny space (hence the ironic name), cramped and not so lovely bathroom, and they even have trucker hats with the Gigantic logo on sale at the bar. A large rainbow flag hangs out front, though not is not ostensibly a queer bar. Still, a wide range of people come through, the staff is all very friendly, and the events have a joyous vibe. Great place for both date night and mingling. read more

Do not miss this excellent spot in Easthampton!! Great vibe. Delicious drinks. Terrific bartenders. We'll definitely be back!!

Really nice laid-back cocktail bar with fantastic libations. Great vibe, fun place to hang out and shoot the breeze.

Has drinks last night here. Nice vibe, cozy, and good A/C. They make a great penicillin, my new favorite cocktail. I'll be back!

Perfect cocktail bar. Well crafted and delicious cocktails--innovative recipes. Great vibe, bartender highly skilled and charming. Will definitely come again! read more

The atmosphere is charming, with a slight hipster vibe. Our cocktails were crafted with care and unique details (like freeze dried orange) that have remained in my memory even weeks later. The beer and wine list is modest, though I imagine they are well selected (having partnered with Provisions in Northampton). read more
