The Hangar Pub and Grill, Amherst

Amherst Brewing at the Hangar Pub and Grill needs to be your next stop for any private event! We were last minute looking for a place to host a welcome event ahead of our wedding in late October, and Caleb and the crew at Amherst Brewing saved the day for us! I wasn't sure what to expect, but the room was incredible with plenty of space, arcade games, a pool table, and board games to keep the various groups of people entertained. The staff behind the bar were so kind and helpful and the beers themselves were, of course, delicious. They let me bring in my own decorations, pick the play list, and had food ready when we needed it. I am so thankful to all the staff at Amherst Brewing and The Hangar Pub and Grill - I cannot recommend them more!

Update: Back in the area, ordered some boneless Honey mustard (extra saucy) & garlic parmesan, seasoned waffle fries, bone in mango habanero with blue cheese dip for pickup over the phone. Service was excellent. The food came out really great and was much better than last time. The bone in wings were pretty large and saucy. I enjoyed it so much that I had to order again a few days later (though at a different location) My old recommendations remain (boneless Honey mustard and garlic parmesan) but would like to add boneless mango habanero into my hall of Fame. Oh and off course the house made blue cheese cant be beat. Well done Hangar, well done! Old review: Back in Amherst, have to hit up my favs. Coming off the Covid restrictions and right before school starts, the place is packed with a 2 hour wait. Decided to do takeout to avoid the crowds. Got the Skymaster with my usuals - Honey Mustard and Garlic Parmesan, blue cheese dip. Waffle fries. Found a place to sit nearby. Ready to chow down, opened up the boxes and here's my honest opinion- 1. There were barely any honey mustard sauce! (See pic) Why you do me wrong like that bro??? 2. I noticed they are doing takeout in paper boxes. This explains the lack of sauce as it would seep through the bottom. Before they were in heavy duty black plasticy boxes. Score 1 for the environment, 0 for my taste buds. 3. The waffle fries did not travel well. Pretty soggy and sad looking after a 10 min drive. 4. The Garlic Parmesan seasoning was saltier than usual. 5. While the chicken was freshy cooked, it was dried out on the inside and the prior lack of sauciness really hurt. 6. Blue cheese as good as before! So unfortunately, the food this time around wasn't the best. With that said, the flavor profile I was craving was met and everything was fresh and the server I spoke to was super nice despite being so busy so I'm rounding up to 4 stars. Just wish ya'll didn't dry up the chicken and screw me on the honey mustard sauce!!!!

Went to the Hangar regularly before Covid and was a big fan. Ventured back recently and was disappointed. Projected 45 minute wait on a Saturday early evening was no surprise. Found a two bar seats among 4 of us, got drinks and an order of onion rings--very good. Beer was delicious and service was friendly and fast. About 30 minutes later we were seated in the lower bank. We were then told the grill was closed because it was too busy and we could only order from the small wings/appetizers menu. This was not mentioned by hostess when we checked in or at the bar so it was disappointing after waiting to dine. Observed other diners in the upper section using the full menus but not sure why we only had paper ones with basic bar snacks on them. Ordered from the "closed grill" menu and the food was okay--mac-n-cheese, nachos, pulled pork sandwich, but we came for ribs and burgers, which used to be very good. The server didn't seem to even know ribs were ever on the menu. Got an order of wings to go with our old standard "crusin altitude" sauce and blue cheese dressing for next day. Got home to discover no sauce on them at all and whatever the chunks in the sweet flavored dressing were, they were definitely not blue cheese flavored. The beer and service was good but the food did not seem to be the same as we used to have, even considering the grill was closed. Hope it was just a fluke, but not sure I need to go back. Three stars because maybe it was just an off night for them.

Got charged $1.50 extra for having my Impossible burger NOT come with bacon (yes, they charged me more for ordering the exact same thing minus bacon; I'm a vegetarian, thus I didn't want the bacon). Last time I'll be going there and will not be purchasing their beer any more from any local stores. And I will certainly be encouraging my friends and family to do the same. $1.50 isn't gonna break the bank for me, it's the point of it. It's a total ploy to make more money underhandedly. Waitstaff didn't even tell me it would cost me more to exclude the bacon when I was ordering.

Absolutely lacking quality control measures. I had my wife bring home an order of boneless wings. Flavor was great, the chicken was disgusting honestly. One of the "boneless" wings had a piece of rib or wing bone in it. Another piece of chicken had a chunk of grizzle, aka cartilage running through it. At this point, I wouldn't take money to eat their food let alone pay for it.
