You can choose a cocktail from their menu OR they have Bartenders choice where you can tell them a flavor profile and your preferred spirits and they'll create something for you. The bartenders were very personable and made some delicious drinks. We also noticed on their menu that they gave FREE cheese pizza.

Unfortunately, the relaxed ambiance of the past now long gone. The bar had ridiculously loud music, so loud my friend and I were screaming at each other and we could barely hear the bartender, and vice versa. It was not a fun experience, especially for expensive craft cocktails.

The beer selection is the best I've ever seen in terms of quality breweries. Hill Farmstead is on the menu today (four different ones!) and there are so many others! The wine selection is ok. This is a beer place in my view. Food options are limited and all excellent. Some dishes can be made vegan if that's your preference but there's something for everyone and the quality is spot on. Tonight I had a tofu sandwich that was excellent another person had a kale salad and raved about it. There's something to be said for a place that limits itself to things it does perfectly and The Dirty Truth seems to be that kind of place. It also focuses on beer and food that are interesting and of the highest possible quality. IT's affordable and unpretentious and very comfortable for large and small groups alike. I think I'm coming here on every trip to Northampton. It's that good! See for yourself!

Walking in, you're greeted with the widest array of signage. At first the restaurant/bar seems…read moresmall, unassuming even. Walking into the back, you realize just how massive the space is. The front area is more of a dive bar feel, the back room more of a restaurant feel, with a sweet little courtyard adding to the diversity of space. Upstaris there are pool tables, both rented hourly as well as coin operated. I was disappointed that the cider was no longer on tap, but C'est La Vie. The cocktails were refreshing, and man, let me tell you... the steak skewers... YUM. I had zero expectation of what my tastebuds were going to feel, once the bartender put a bottle of A-1 on the bar. That's NEVER a good sign. Why anyone would sully these little morsels of deliciousness with A-1 is beyond me. They were freaking awesome.
