The Goldsher family enterprise(s) have become anchor businesses in downtown Greenfield. The work that they do has brought us headliner acts, musical and comedy shows, small local bands, theater and special events, kids and family friendly events, and a multitude of community events that they've hosted and/or donated the space to be used. The windows and street-facing walls are covered in art from local artists, and Cocina Lupita's Salvadoran food operates out of the ground floor kitchen. There are many musical, art, and retail shows hosted at the Pushkin across the street and GreenspaceCowork is full of busy workers taking advantage of shared space. Hawks & Reed has generated a lot of marketing for Greenfield with their wonderful array of events that draw folks in from around New England and talent from around the world..

Very authentic. Not the largest spread of food, but all A-ok, and not corndogs. The music? World class. The crowd? Super groovy, family friendly but not oppressively so. The "no alcohol" policy? Uh- not heavily enforced b/c there are NO DRUNKS! We get there for the hot air balloon show Sat, & always stay through the last gasp on Sunday. DO NOT MISS the dance tent in back: always a band you are glad to discover back there. Bring a cooler, and an umbrella and sunscreen and GET A PARKING PASS EARLY!

They offer live music, art exhibits, film & video screenings, poetry & spoken word, theater & performance art, and children's events. Local and national artists grace their stage, screen, and walls. Their emphasis is on emerging artists, independent musicians, and other non-mainstream creative types. A lot of local scenes have coalesced around this place. Admission is kept low making all events affordable for the local community. The venue is supported by door donations, fundraising, and grants. Periodically Flywheel puts on large scale shows featuring acts like Fugazi and Le Tigre. Flywheel is currently on hiatus due to the renovations being performed on their relocation space in the former town hall. Their previous site featured a cafe, zine library, art gallery, and performance space. Local scenester tip: Don't call it "The Flywheel". I look forward to visiting them in their new incarnation!

Like the old space, Flywheel still puts on live music, art exhibits, film & video screenings, children's events, dance parties, record fairs poetry and spoken word, performance art pieces, and more. The cozy cafe area shares its space with the zine library, and leads out to the performance space. Flywheel has recently been the venue for Ladyfest and benefit shows for Pioneer Valley's Zine fest, and looks forward to showcasing more local bands. It's all volunteer-run, and people are free to donate some time to help out, either with shows or at "work parties" (like the bi-weekly party for cataloguing zines) as much or as little as they can.

Maybe the waitress was new or something, but every table around us was served their dinner before the waitress even took our order (and we were the second people in line). Had to ask three times for water. The waitress also kept trying to talk to me/settle the bill DURING THE SHOW. So very very rude. The food wasn't much better. I ordered the burger rare. It arrived well done - no pink at all. The onion rings were tasty but definitely from the freezer (I remember that they were much better last year - bigger, hand-battered). Honestly, if it wasn't for the bands I went to see, I wouldn't set foot in the Iron Horse again.

Food was mediocre , you had to order by app but you had to go up to the bar to order drinks As usual the tables are very crowded together which makes getting up very difficult.
