    Truly awful. Horrible smell, rapey vibes and crappy sound system. Why anyone would go there willingly is beyond me. Steer clear!

    I went back to the dirty truth for the first time in years. I think that the last time I had been…read morethere was when it was still a sister bar to the moan and dove. They have a very well curated selection of beers on tap. I had a Saison Dupont and a Foam collab. They also have food and I got an order of fries with some garlic aioli. Amazing!!! I heard that the chicken sandwich there is very good. I'd like to come back and try it sometime.

    I've been here a few times. Service is very pleasant and oddly slow, so it's kind of like dining…read morein the south. You just have to accept the pace. The beer selection is the best I've ever seen in terms of quality breweries. Hill Farmstead is on the menu today (four different ones!) and there are so many others! The wine selection is ok. This is a beer place in my view. Food options are limited and all excellent. Some dishes can be made vegan if that's your preference but there's something for everyone and the quality is spot on. Tonight I had a tofu sandwich that was excellent another person had a kale salad and raved about it. There's something to be said for a place that limits itself to things it does perfectly and The Dirty Truth seems to be that kind of place. It also focuses on beer and food that are interesting and of the highest possible quality. IT's affordable and unpretentious and very comfortable for large and small groups alike. I think I'm coming here on every trip to Northampton. It's that good! See for yourself!
