About this place The Tunnel Bar

The Tunnel Bar occupies a restored 1896 railroad tunnel beneath Northampton's former Union Station at 125A Pleasant Street, a genuinely unusual space of brick arches, low lighting and vintage detail. It is best known for an extensive cocktail and martini list and a warm, date-night atmosphere, and it draws a thoroughly mixed downtown crowd. In a town as integrated as Northampton it reads as reliably queer-welcoming — comfortable for LGBTQ+ visitors without being a dedicated gay venue. Expect classic and creative cocktails, a compact but characterful room that fills up on weekend evenings, and a location right in the walkable downtown core, a short stroll from Main Street's restaurants and shops.

I normally would not drive this far just to go to a bar, but my friends kept hyping it up. Anyway, yea it is in fact very cool. It fills up but its worth it. Don't know if I'll make the drive often but if someone brings it up for a night out, yea I'm definitely going.

Very cool bar with fantastic drinks and very good food. Only had the beef carpaccio and it was great. Vibe is comfortable and relaxing.
