Tunnel Bar

CHICKPEAS: 4

Grasshopper Martini


A couple of weeks ago, we went to the Tunnel Bar in Northampton with friends.  The Tunnel Bar is known for their martinis and gets its name from actually being in a tunnel.   As you walk in on the street end, there are sets of tables and armchairs on both sides.  The bar is about halfway down the tunnel, complete with stools. The clientele varied in age, though mostly in the late 20's or older range.  If you are claustrophobic, this bar might not be a good choice.  Otherwise, it has tons of character and is a fun spot.

It can be a little tough to find free parking in Northampton on a weekend night, but there are pay lots available. We got there around 8:30 and were able to get a table and two chairs for our party of four.  We watched like vultures and eventually got a table and four chairs.  I would recommend getting their early if you are with a big group and want to be able to sit.
