Brass Cat

This is the closest bar to my apt. Lots and lots of brews on draught, so there’s always something to like.
I generally don’t end up here unless dragged by someone, or some event, tho. I don’t know why but I never really clicked or felt at home here. It’s nice… But something eludes me.

Inattentive bar tender socializing with friends and on the cell texting all the time. Asked for a Guinness but no clue how to pour one. Can’t use a card only cash.

Good times and friendly regulars! Great beer selection. Try to get here when they open a gravity keg.

It seems that the people there know each other, yet they were friendly. Good selection of beer. If your looking for a place to throw a few back this looks like a good place to do it.

For a dive bar, this place is pretty legit. Great beer selection (and yes, I was talked into doing my own list) and the bar tenders and «regulars» are always great any time of day. Free darts, too! I suggest checking it out.

Dive bar with a dash of Beer-​Snobbery.
I have a horrible addiction to places that have earned «Mug-​Clubs», and this place is no exception. Always fun to try and conquer a list of 50, 60, 80, 125, +++ different beers. Not only is it good to try different things, it’s also a bit of a beer education. You might even find a style of beer that you never knew existed, for example, a Kolsch, or a Black IPA, or even a Rauchbier. It’s also fun to go back and re-​try old favorites to try and figure out why in the world you might have liked that in the past.
Comfortable location with a couple of horrible outdated small TV’s and a fantastic jukebox (perfect as far as I am concerned). KENO and a Pool table as well. Cash only, but there is an ATM of sorts in the building.

This place has the casual, low-​key feel of a dive bar without actually being grungy or seedy. Friendly service (and other patrons), strong drinks … it doesn’t get much better.
One tip: Bring cash, as they don’t accept credit cards (there is an ATM; if I recall correctly, it has a $ 1.50 fee).

Had zero expectations coming in here as it was labeled as a dive bar. I can’t belive the fun that I had at the Cat. They have a mug club that is better than anything I’ve paid for before. You drink 50 or something different drinks over the period of 6 months and pay $ 10 to get your own labeled mug. Free pizza when we were there on a Friday night. Cash only, but they have their own unique ATM in the place. Diverse crowd, great beer selection on tap and even better in bottles. A bit difficult to get to on my way home, but certainly close enough to visit on a regular basis.

I sort of love this bar. It’s comfortable and I know I won’t go in to be looked at like meat. Decent selection on draft and a good pour for a mixed beverage.
There’s pool and every so often live music. The bartender is always attentive and I love coming here with friends.

Best jukebox around… great beers, bartenders, atmosphere… great place to watch a sox game, they have an event on opening day with prizes and hot dogs… free peanuts… pool table… live shows… a wii you can use… it’s a great place…

Great beer selection, good service, good music. Stamp of approval.

Awesome local bar. :Love the beer selection and the challenge they have to get your personal mug there.

We work up the street and have been going to the brass cat for tasty beverages for years. We will go there for years to come!

One of Easthampton’s two «locals» bars. Occasionally has bands, always throws a great theme day – I’ve ducked in for New Year’s, where they drop a giant wire ball lit up with christmas lights off the building, which was a complete blast – servers are friendly, great place to play a game of pool or a Wii game.
It’s not my go-​to designated bar, but I won’t complain if we end up there.

Brick building at a corner of downtown Easthampton… a spot of social commentary is habitually draped over their sign…
Inside you’ll find a dark bar with a single pool table and a low stage setup in the back… tons of bar stool seating… there’s even a Wii well hidden in a back corner for those who don’t care for social interaction on a traditional scale or need to take a breather from getting their drink on…
Surprisingly wide draft selection, knowledgeable bartenders (you can get a shamrock in your Guinness if you ask) and good bands that wander through regularly…
Go on Wednesday — say «Hi» to Rob and the Wild Wednesday crew…
