Nice comfortable venue with excellent beer and very friendly and helpful staff. Decent location and parking is just as brutal here as it is anywhere else in town, so if with a group maybe plan to drop them off in front and go find a space somewhere. I lean toward the IPAs but we also had a Plum Berliner which was excellent. Of course we brought a case home! Highly recommend this one!

They make planning very easy. The space is gorgeous, they have a semi-private space which is perfect for us and they have on-site catering. They have live music, that salt shuffleboard game and some arcade games too. There is a parking lot directly attached which is super convenient. We tried the kolsch and margarita sour and were blown away by both.

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!!!

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!

It was graduation weekend at UMass Amherst and my family and I could not find a reservation for lunch.

Flavorful, not overcooked, just the right amount of crispness...and those bacon pieces!? Yum. I had the chicken wings and a beet salad. I'm a Buffalo, NY native folks, and thus have had my share of great chicken wings. Johnny's wings were on par with anything I've had in the Queen City. My only suggestion to make it real Buffalo style is thick blue cheese dip. The other meals served were amazing - two pasta dishes and the fried chicken. All tasty. Everyone loved their dishes. The prices were very fair for the quality and quantity of food brought to the table. I'm surprised at the 4.1 Yelper average. The meal and service we had tonight was excellent.

I opted for the Red Right Hand, which was a rum based drink with almond, citrus and spice notes. It was incredible!! We sat at the bar, which had ample seating, and there were also tables and two lounge areas in the back. The bartenders were helpful and have no problem recommending drinks based on your likes. Definitely recommend The Archive for incredible drinks by talented bartenders!

The huge variety of different BBQ sauces like peanut butter BBQ, spicy BBQ, extra hot BBQ, etc. make every bite a different experience. Pair the smokey beef brisket sandwiches/burgers with the chips they offer - along with a cold IPA to wash it down - and you won't miss out on this smoky, savory BBQ heaven.

The night we finally went was for Zelda night. Knowing my boyfriend, we all know he mah be the biggest Zelda fan in western Massachusetts so obviously we had to go! They had one tabletop Zelda game in the facility, it would have been nice to have a few of them so more of us could play/immerse in the Zelda night. They also had Mario playing on the walls which threw me off a bit. There were free stickers all over the bar along with some "rupees" which was a cute touch. It was pretty easy to order the drinks and food, and the staff behind the counter were all very nice. We tried 2/3 drinks and enjoyed both of them. Two food options were made, Hearty Monster Rice Balls, and Meat Pies. The rice balls were honestly pretty good, nothing fancy but good. The Meat Pies filling was good, but the entirety of it was pretty greasy and oily which was a little disappointing. I do hope they do another Zelda night and offer more food options. If they do that, we will definitely go again!
