Neat local holyoke area to watch bands, eat food, and drink beer. There is an outdoor patio to sit and enjoy your food & drink. The people are friendly, and its a nice and relaxing place to hang around

We checked out Judds at Gateway City Arts. Fabulous restaurant. Hubby had short rib with wild mushroom risotto and roasted asparagus. He really enjoyed it. I had the Czech Goulash. While Im more used to the smokier paprika used in Hungarian goulash, I really liked the subtle flavors of the Czech version. Hubby had creamy mushroom soup and he loved it. While I liked the garlic soup, I think it would have been so much better if it was not vegan. Would have liked a beef or bone broth as the base. We both loved the Walnut Honey cake. Awesome job from David and Mauro at Davids and Mauros Famous Farm.

Had an amazing prefix menu at Judds Czech restaurant. Short rib on risotto was awesome. Probably the best restaurant in holyoke. Everything was clearly made from scratch. All the beer was great and well priced and the cocktail menu looked great. Fresh bread made in house daily. If you dont find something you like you might just be hard to please.

A Holyoke gem. Top quality music acts and a delicious Czech-hungarian restaurant in a renovated industrial setting. Excellent sound stage for shows. Really nice bar areas as well.

A funky spot with great food and kind staff. The concerts are great here, with a sound system that puts out great audio without slaying those with more sensitive ears. A decent size that maintains an intimate atmosphere and they get great acts, too!

Judds was amazing! I couldnt have picked a better place for Valentines Day dinner. The short rib and risotto was among the best Ive had and the tres leches cake really topped it off. The ambiance and staff made the night! Cant wait to come again!

Great place to see music by national artists. Been open for a couple of years now, and they’ve been booking some legit indie acts like Big Thief, Mitski, and Real Estate. Good sound system and stage setup. Good selection of craft beers at normal non-exorbitant bar prices. Easy plentiful street parking.

Went there for brunch earlier and had the most amazing salmon eggs Benedict of my life, and Ive gotten them many different places. Also, the Infused vodka and house bloody Mary mix was better than Ive had in a really long time. That coupled with the enchanting atmosphere, Id give this place 6/5 stars if I could. Check it out!

This is the first time we have been to this venue. I actually really like it. We tend to gravitate towards the smaller music venues and this one seemed too small at first, but after the music started playing it was great. The sound was amazing. There was almost no wait at the bar or the restroom.

Review №17

Very cool vibe here. Joe the bartender even cooler. Great Keller Williams show. Thank you.

Review №18

Great spot to hang out and get a beer but the concert tickets are overpriced in my opinion. The cavernous space sometimes seems to contribute to less than great acoustics. Also, including fees it should still be considerably cheaper to buy tix ahead of time. Otherwise there is really no reason to.

What a wonderful location! Bingo was amazing!Drag Queen Bingo at Gateway City Arts, hosted by Jenayah De Rosario and Liz Perry, with Hella Swagg as the featured guest performer was a great show! I love that the prizes are for the most part from local businesses and for local businesses. What a great concept and great way to highlight the many wonderful local businesses of Western Massachusetts.I love coming here. Plus some of my favorite bartenders from a spot that once was work here. They are top notch, just as I remember them to be!

Review №25

Awesome small venue. Get there early for a spot closer to the stage. Concerts seem to have more of a personal feel. You cannot beat the ticket prices. Decent beer selection and beer prices are pretty good for New England.

Great for bigger casual events.Regular menu rotation with new creative specials and wonderful standards. Perfectly cooked burgers made with high-quality local beef are some of the best Ive had anywhere. Very good service in Cafe at lunch, at bar or at planned event. Locally owned!

Went here to see She Kills Monsters a few weeks ago. Amazing and dynamic play! The stage is quaint and not of the greatest quality but certainly enough to host amazing plays. They often have live music accompaniment for the shows and theres a very friendly bartender serving drinks to the audience.

Kudos on the choice of bathroom labeling here (stalls/urinals)! Food is delicious, and the vibe is great - my only reason for not giving 5 stars is the use of disposable plastic for food/drink service.

Went for the Sunday brunch. Healthy, fresh and locally sourced options. Was impressed by properly poached eggs, nicely charred Brussels sprouts and crispy home fries. Excellent waitstaff crew, polite attentive and informative. Creative libations also.

Great staff, lovely location & warm Atmosphere. However very disappointed with the food. Fruit salad only had pineapple and melon, homefries were NOT crispy but well seasoned. Biggest disappointment and main reason I came, blueberry pancakes special has sprinkled cinnamon all over. Which is nice unless you have an allergy to cinnamon. Not on menu, no one said it came that way. They took it off the bill. Reasonable price. Mimosas and Bellini were GREAT. Will come again.

The bistro atmosphere is beautiful and the food is amazing! The building has some amazing old energy in its old factory walls. I attended my best friends wedding here tonight and the staff was on point. Everything that wasnt taken care of by our own planners was beautifully done.

Great brunch. Had hash and eggs with a popover. Corned beef hash had amazing flavor, needed no condiments, had a nice bit of spice. Shared the special french toast with the table. Best part was no big brunch rush, seated right away on a Sunday.

A great gem of a find in the midst of old Mill factory buildings in Holyoke MA. I find amazing that around New England so many factory buildings are repurposed into arts and music venues. Gateway stepped it up a bit with the addition of food and drinks. Taj Wakinfield had a wonderful sound and great stage presence. Her music was superb and the band was a great complement.
