Hutghi’s at the Nook - Lamb Lollipops with mint and pomegranate seeds - Lounges Near Me - Westfield, Massachusetts

Service was wonderful, polite bartender with great waiting skills. Sandwiches were delish.

Local dive turned local date spot:In the past, this little bar has had a seedy feeling. Since it has become Hutghi's, It has a nice hang out feeling to it, perfect if you want to sit and have a casual date night. They even have some games to play at the table (cribbage anyone?), which I am always a fan of. I like oysters, I like charcuterie boards, and I loveeee cocktails, all elements of a great date night. A combination of things I would never have available at home, with a changing menu for variety. I can say, as a tip,that on occasion some people at the bar can be obnoxiously loud. While the nice table near the window seems like the best choice, evaluate the whole scene before choosing that as your final destination. If you try this place, comment on this review so I know!

staff is amazing, ambiance is great, cozy an elegant vibes with a dive bar feel. 100% coming back off the vibes alone. foods great, unique and banging. you should definitely stop by for a bite to eat and a beer. read more

I used to live in Westfield and I had been in here when it was the Nook ... which was a classic dive bar. Hutghi's has kept the charm of the Nook and made a super comfortable bar that is worthy of hanging out in. The cocktail I had, a Manhattan, was perfect. They also had a good selection of only local beers and all that I tried were delicious. We ordered mussels and sandwiches and they were fresh and tasty. Service was exceptional. The establishment is owner operated and they were present. New England neighborhood bars don't get much better than this. If I ever opened a bar I might have aimed for something like this. Hutghi's is a great addition to Westfield. read more

Great cocktails. Very slow service. Food is good but missing sides and overpriced. Kind of a fun weird vibe.

I drive by this place numerous times a day and always though its just a seedy dive bar for local drunks. I was wrong. This place is great and has so much character. They don't skimp on the alcohol and the food was surprisingly good. They even have a comedy night every Thursday where you can see local comics bomb or do really well. You never know what you'll get, that's what makes open mics fun. I was pleasantly surprised by The Nook. read more

Not typically a roast beef person, but WOW did this place turn me into one. Such a well curated, eclectic New England aesthetic to top off the amazing food, portions and service. The drink menu was also pretty original and the drinks we had were absolutely delicious. Will be going back and bringing friends ASAP! read more

Cozy a place to gather with friends, perfect place to bring a date if you want to converse and be able to hear each other great selection of spirits. Plan on going back to see a comedy show.. read more

This is the type of place who likely hates Yelp and Yelp reviews but oh well. It's that good. People need to know what they might be missing in this gem. Amazing craft cocktails, awesome staff and owners. They really turned this landmark back into something special. Fresh raw bar selections, really good charcuterie plates and the best Greyhound around. Dark and inviting, you could stay here for hours- and you should. What an awesome addition to Westfield. No one who loves Hutghi's cares about yelp reviews. But here's one anyway - I'll put them on the yelp map right quick before someone complains about the lighting or some other trivial thing that doesn't matter. Just go and friggin relax a little. read more

They did such an amazing job. Went in on opening night and it was a seamless operation. They clearly know what they're doing! Knowledgeable and friendly staff, nice variety of drinks, cool vibe. Cheese board was amazing. Everything is very high quality and priced reasonably. I can't wait to go back. read more

The Nook used to be a biker bar but now it's the coolest, most hip joint in the area. Amazing creative cocktails and a great list of excellent craft beers make it so. The owners have embraced the history of the building and put their own twist on the classic decor. This is not a college bar but more akin to a quiet, mellow place where you can enjoy a few drinks and listen to some classic rock or old punk records (actual LP records.) You won't be disappointed by checking this place out. read more

This place is great. First off, very easy free parking. Second they have a very unique food and drink menu. The bartenders are great. As a bonus this often host live bands or comedians in the back room. A very fun place to hangout. read more

Closest to my hangout bar in Tampa....Skippers Smokehouse...the 3 Musketeers who keep it running are tops...drinks, stories, food and nostalgia served with equal flair....how many joints do you know that have an operating LP turntable (under 30 Google it) read more

Best bar in Westfield right now. Excellent array of some classic cocktails, unique flavors and expected flavors too! Food is excellent, always fresh. These guys partner with as many local spots for their food ingredients, which means a lot in a community. Fantastic service, fun to be around and very professional. Love the feel, just a fun time all around. You could and should stay here for hours! They need us right now too everyone! COVID can't take this gem from us, hit up Hutghi's whenever possible! read more

This is a hidden gem!!! The oysters were fantastic, the bar prepared amazing cocktails (real cocktails with home made butters), the smoked blue fish grilled cheese was out of this world, and the charcuterie plate was divine... this is must visit!!! read more

Not 5 stars compared to the world, but as good as it gets in Westfield: funky atmosphere, happy crowd, excellent cheeses and charcuterie, cocktails icy cold and pungent. I'll go again soon! read more

Best Bloody Mary I've ever had!! Roast beef sandwich is a must have, atmosphere is amazing and staff is the best. 10/10 recommend! read more

Love this place! Excellent food, great drinks and a real cool atmosphere. The menu changes often so there is always something different to try from the specials. Love that they now offer live entertainment. If I lived in Westfield, I'd be a regular. read more

They did an outstanding job of keeping the history of The Nook but introducing a great menu and outstanding cocktails. The bartender Paul is great and definitely knows his cocktails, very interesting cocktail menu. The food is delicious and fresh, great to see the owners in the establishment. read more

As you walk into this place for the first time - you likely think: "I'll probably be able to get a decent burger, fries and a beer..." since that is the initial 'vibe' this place has. However, it offers 1) incredibly quick service (we had our menus and water before we even sat down), 2) a relatively limited menu but unlimited quality, and 3) fabulously scrumptous entrees! I had the a bluefish melt sandwich which, if not for my wife's resistance, I would move to Westfield - from NY where we live - just so I could have that sandwich once a week. My wife had great oysters - along with generous pours on her 2 glasses of wine. 5+ stars all around. read more

This place is awesome! I don't check in unless I am truly impressed and this place. Classic Manhattan cocktail, dozen oysters just pulled out of the ocean ambiance that can stand next to any bar in soho service and patronage that is amazing! They call Westfield Ma whip city but this place just kicks ass! read more

were patiently waiting for a second round with no complaints when a bartender did a lap and spoke for us; saying we were ready to cash out. had a half hour before our dinner reservation that we were willing to spend there, but were abruptly cut short. like to come here at least once a month, but after being checked out by 730, may reconsider. read more

Very chill spot with superb cocktails and snacks (hot sandwiches if you want something more substantial). Dollar oysters on Wednesdays and Thursdays!! read more

4 of us went to Hutghi's last evening for Oysters and beer. The oysters were fresh and delicious. The beer was quite good, poured from a can. The employees are pleasant and informative. It's a great setting as well. Give it a try! read more
