The bar lays host to a pool league and a men's softball team who you'll see frequently after matches or games. The people that come in are mostly working folks in an eclectic mix of young 20-somethings to elders. On any given night the jukebox will be playing various music from a country song then to hard rock to music in Spanish to R&B. It's nice to hear the various genres and watch folks singing along and having a good time. I like coming here to have a drink and catch up with the happenings in town with good people.

First off: This is not a real Veterans bar. Besides myself, I didn't meet not one other Veteran…read morethere. I believe the owner is a Veteran but that's about it. I was told by a Vietnam buddy of mine from the Military Club at Holyoke Community College. That the bar changed owners some years back and back in the day, the bar was a huge supporter for its men and woman in arms. Now it promote violence and gang affiliation. The bouncers will watch while you bleed on their floor and the the bartenders will berate and try to humiliate you in the bathroom. It only took two visits for me to completely turn my back on this establishment. The first visit was very friendly. I went in about 9 pm -11 pm on or about Sep 25th. Small crowd, all watching a game. Had a couple beers and went home happy. The second visit was unbelievable. My grandmother (the woman that raised me) had passed away Dec 4th, 2018. On Dec 5th, I decided to visit the bar with my husband to have a few drinks to drown in our sorrows. Immediately you saw a complete change in the atmosphere. Loud music and groups of people swarming around the entrance. I was not in a social mood, so I breezed passed them and sat on the other end of the bar. I came in about 11 pm that night and stayed until close. I played Keno and scratched tickets. Nothing special. Talked with my husband about my grandmother and had a couple tears and laughs. Last call: I took my last drink and headed towards the entrance. When at the door, I heard a couple females talk to me over my shoulder. Not thinking much about it, I turned to say hi. Immediately I was screamed at: "Mind your business white B!@#$". "You don't know us, we're the wrong ones. White B!@#$." I than was grabbed by the woman on the left and pulled to the ground. Unfortunately for them. I just so happen to be a "WHite B!@#$" that grew up in the bad neighborhood of Six Corners in Spfld, MA. I joined the Military and I just so happen to box in my spare time. I tore the first girl up. The other three girls than jumped in and it was a four against one fight. The staff and bouncers stood by and watched. I could see them circle around me as I fought for my life. The bar helped the girl that started the fight, by escorting her out without anyone seeing her. Leaving me bleeding on the floor. Once the woman that jumped me were safe in their car. I was pushed out the door and left by the side-walk of the building. One of the females left the car and returned for her phone. Because I laughed in her face and screamed she had no honor. She tried to initiate a second fight. THe bouncer than at that time. grabbed me and brought me to the bathroom to clean up my bloody face. While in the bathroom, I was ridiculed by the bartender. Not comfortable but blamed. She kept telling me, "Look at your face!" Once the female fetched her phone, I was grabbed from the bathroom by the Security Guard and pushed back outside where the doors were locked behind me. Outside again, I could hear the employees laughing indoors, "White B!@#$ always get what they deserve." I went home. The next day I tried to call the owner of the bar. He was never in and never returned my call. Again, I tried to use my position as The Military Club Treasurer of the Bunker at HCC, to reach out to a fellow Veteran. Again, the owner refused to answer. Finally, I turned to post and review the bar on Facebook. Nothing was ever posted. I decided to go looking through the feedback. I found one of the females that jumped me. 5 starred the bar! Followed her profile and sure enough there were all four girls. I filled a report with the Holyoke Police Dep. And also identified them correctly through mug-shots. Now, I have legal proceedings in place for the females and we are going to trail for one of them. Beware this bar! They are prejudice and you could die just trying to mourn a loved one. FYI: This "White B!@#$ is actually Cretan and Bahamian. Sorry my light skin offends you.

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

Great personality and she always remembers me (now I feel bad). But honestly the best part?? Peppas is attached. Whiskey, beer, and pizza? YES. My only complaint is that some nights it gets packed with college kids and I'm not a higher fan of that. Other wise great!

If you're in Westfield and looking for a warm, welcoming spot with excellent appetizers and a local feel, Hutghis at the Nook is absolutely worth a visit. It's the kind of place you'll want to return to again and again.
