The Tunnel Bar
Cocktail Lounge · Northampton, MA
About
You might expect a dive bar inside a tunnel, but this is a lounge with oversized chairs and a full martini list instead. The Tunnel Bar occupies a 19th-century train tunnel beneath Northampton's historic Union Station, where the original stone and brickwork from 1897 is still on display. It's a nationally recognized martini lounge serving award-winning drinks to a mixed gay-straight crowd.
The vibe is classy but not stuffy, and prices are moderate for what you get. Thursday through Saturday are the best nights to go. Free wifi and a full bar are standard, so you can settle into one of those oversized chairs and stay a while.
