Now that the Hangar is associated with the Amherst Brewing Co., it's a one stop shop. Great local beer with their awesome wings. Plenty of TV to catch local (UMASS) sporting events as well as regional and national happenings. Friendly and efficient wait staff and a wonderful rotating draft beer selection. Must visit if in the Amherst area.
