Coffee was amazing!

Love the super chill ambiance and friendly service. Beer was outstanding (according to my hubby). We also returned the next day to check out their coffee. Also strong and on point. Extra bonus love for the fact that you can bring your own food. Wish we lived here just to enjoy the delights of Hot Plate Brewing! Maybe they'll open up a location in New Haven, CT

The Best Pour by Brewer Sarah!

This brewery is a great addition to downtown Pittsfield. They have a nice selection of beers and IPAs on tap plus wine, hard cider and seltzer. It's a nice spot to chill and meet new friends. Like most breweries, they don't serve meals but have a few snacks on hand. They have local menus and allow people to bring in food. Grab a friend, some food and head over to catch up and play some games. Say hi to Mike and Sarah.

Amazing new brewery. This was a terrific Saison. Great new spot in Pittsfield.

Ombra -- Subtle. Seductive. Memorable…read more When you are a wine afficionada you seek out the best wine bars wherever you go. Welcome to Ombra in Lenox, MA. Lenox has some really cool spots and Ombra is one of them. Recommended by a local, we stopped here on Valentine's Day after our dinner for a nice glass of wine. The place was crowded but luckily a few people were leaving so we scored some seats at the bar. I ordered a glass of Nebbiolo from Italy which was good. My husband had a beer. The place is so cute and very romantic with dim lights, a great wine selection and their food looked so good. Unfortunately, we were so full that we did not end up ordering anything. Although, the french fries were calling my name. Ombra is a place that I could see us coming to almost every week and not getting tired of it. We met a local who is very nice and told us how Ombra is very popular. I think we will have to come back in the spring/summer to get those french fries :) If you are ever in Lenox definitely make your way to Ombra for a nice glass of wine or try a cocktail. This is the perfect date night spot for sure whether you start or end your evening here, you will be happy! Cheers~

Nice cozy tavern, not a lot of seating. Pretty good drink selections, as well as food options…read more Service was quick and very friendly, I sat at the bar and was made to feel like a regular despite it being my first visit, definitely won't be the last. Food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. I had the Birria tacos and the yogurt/naan platter. I will absolutely be back to try more!

A Valentine's dinner that did not impress!…read more Valentine's has always been a very special holiday for me. My husband and I decided to spend the weekend in the Berkshires, which was lovely and quiet. I made reservations ahead of time for this highly rated wine bar and very close to where we were staying. First off, due to the previous weather/storms they had no street parking. But luckily we parked in a nearby lot. Upon arrival, the restaurant bar area was very nice and romantic. The server brought us to our table but I was a bit disappointed in the ambiance. I mean the bar area was a bit darker and the table that we were being seated at had a lot of light. Now, don't get me wrong, It was Valentine's day which screams romantic and there was no romantic vibe to this restaurant. After mentioning this to our server she did move us and turned down the lights a bit which was much better. Food/Drinks: The menu was not big at all which was nice. I ordered a dirty martini to start which needed more olive juice and my husband ordered a rum cocktail which he enjoyed. For starters, I ordered their Over Roasted Parsnip which was very good and filling. My husband had their Beet Salad which he said was excellent. For entrees, I had their Seared Duck Breast. I really enjoyed the caramel sauce but did not love the duck itself. My husband had the Oven Roasted Chicken Statler which was very dry he could barley eat it. Also, since this is a wine bar I will say the wines were nothing special which was also a bit disappointing. I wish they had something unique and special to offer especially being on a Valentine's Day. I feel this place may be more of a summer destination. Service: Service was excellent I will say. Our server was always asking how things were, checking on us and if we needed anything and asking about any additional drinks. etc. Also, the Manager came over to ask how everything was but he spefically looked at me. I think my husband would've mentioned his meal being dry if he looked at him as well but my husband could've spoken up too. We did say something to our server after she asked about the chicken dish, which they ended up taken off the bill which was very nice. Overall: I didn't love Alta Wine Bar my first time here, but I would come back in the spring or summer months when the weather is warm to try it again. Cheers~

Stopped into District Bar and Grill expecting a quick bite, and when I arrived the bar was packed…read more The rest of the restaurant was quieter at first, but before long the whole place got busy. Through all of it, Lindsay was absolutely incredible. I honestly don't know how she did it. Even as the restaurant filled up, she somehow made it feel like I was her only table. My drink never got low, everything arrived quickly, and she checked in at exactly the right moments without ever making it feel rushed. She was friendly, sharp, and completely on top of everything happening around her. I've eaten at a lot of restaurants, and service like that is rare. Lindsay handled a packed room with the kind of calm, attention, and professionalism you usually only hope for. She turned an ordinary meal into one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. District Bar and Grill is lucky to have her. Lindsay set the bar so high that most restaurants don't even come close

The food also exceeded our expectations. The fried brussels sprouts and salmon were both superb and perfectly cooked. The wine selection was large, with both tried-and-true options like Pinot Grigio and less common wines. Overall, a great meal and we will be returning!
