Unfortunately, the air of hipsterdom supposedly affected by the basement pales in comparison to that in which you seem to languish."

The truth is, I attended a show here by accident. It was the weekend of The Back Porch music festival and I intended to see the show of Maine musician Griffin William Sherry. It was super difficult to get anyone on the phone, but I finally did, and was told that Griffin would be among the musicians playing at the Friday night show at the Academy of Music, which was also going to be a tribute to Willie Nelson! How exciting! So I hung up the phone, bought tickets, booked a room at Hotel Northampton, and then drove down from Maine on a Friday after work. It was a beautiful venue, and a marvelous show, performed by a who's who of western Mass musicians. The only downside was that Griffin William Sherry did *not* play in the Willie Nelson tribute. His show was at The Parlor Room, at the same time as the Willie Nelson Tribute, so we missed it. Very disappointing *and* although I wish the person I spoke to on the phone gave accurate information, we saw a pretty amazing show at a lovely venue, so four stars.

I loved the historical and classic vibe of the Theatre. The upper section gave me a bit of vertigo…read morebut it's a pretty common set up. It was big but still felt intimate. Great location - so many awesome bars and restaurants in the area (shout out to Packards and The Tunnel Bar). Parking was easy to find (and free since it was Sunday!). Minus one star because the traffic flow wasn't super well organized - you have to wait in line for drinks where people are shuffling around to find their seat section. It also did not feel accessible for those with mobility issues. Not sure if they have an elevator (didn't see signage) but the basement was a bit of a haul down the stairs (especially coming from the upper level).

The front area is more of a dive bar feel, the back room more of a restaurant feel, with a sweet little courtyard adding to the diversity of space. Upstaris there are pool tables, both rented hourly as well as coin operated. I was disappointed that the cider was no longer on tap, but C'est La Vie. The cocktails were refreshing, and man, let me tell you... the steak skewers... YUM. I had zero expectation of what my tastebuds were going to feel, once the bartender put a bottle of A-1 on the bar. That's NEVER a good sign. Why anyone would sully these little morsels of deliciousness with A-1 is beyond me. They were freaking awesome.

My cheeseburger was a little bland and rubbery, but fine. The bun was good as was the lettuce, which are two little things I appreciate on a burger.

I thought the burger was pricy for what I got, but it is an expensive little town in general.

There is an outdoor bar and comfortable seating, along with the chairs people brought on their own. This made waiting for our dinner table more palatable. They do not take reservations so first come, first served. Our waitress, Amy, was so lovely and helpful! She took good care of us. Our fried pickles appetizer was delicious, and we all enjoyed our meals. My son in particular loved his burger of the month which, believe it or not, was a PB&J burger! The Jam was raspberry, bacon habanero and onion ... and he said it was great! I had the salmon patty with Cole slaw which was so tasty. The only draw back, and the reason for four stars instead of five, were the French fries. They were really soggy. We should have said something immediately which we didn't - but we did tell Amy as we were leaving and she promised to pass it along to the kitchen.
