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.

We got seated right away, but it was busy for the time (mid afternoon). Our server was very friendly and the food came out quickly. The French onion soup hit the spot and was some of the best I've ever had. Rich beef broth, tender onions, nice and hot, and of course perfectly melted cheese. We shared a patty melt with onion rings. The patty melt was overdone - we ordered medium but it was beyond well done. Still flavorful but would have preferred it as ordered. They had a large patio which must be nice in the summer. A lot of the photos showed it being in a shopping mall, but those must be old, because it is a standalone restaurant. We will definitely go back when in the area, especially when we want French onion soup!

What can you say about a neighborhood bar? The Clubhouse is a simple place. Large bar in front with…read morecouple of pool tables behind it. 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.

Karaoke is Thurs-Sat, and not many people go so like you can go up each round! That's always fun! They have some pretty good beers on tap, while it's not a huge selection, it has all I need (Magic Hat & BBC Steel Rail). One pool table and a pinball machine, touch tunes (I don't know if it gives you the free play, because I am only there for karaoke).

The bar was decent, the service was curt but not rude or overly obsequious. The bowling alley itself is like a working museum with the original machines and the decoration going back to the turn of the century, some beautiful woodwork, and the patio is a delight. Really hope this place sees more business, the building could use a little TLC, but it's unlike anything I've seen.
