Smokey Spur Bar & Grill

Stepping into Smokey Spur Bar & Grill feels like settling into a beloved local hideaway where familiar faces and warm conversations naturally unfold. Nestled off the beaten path in Amherst, this is the kind of place where the pace slows just enough to enjoy a meal and a drink without hurry—a cozy, relaxed neighborhood spot that invites you to linger.

The atmosphere hums with easy camaraderie, the kind that grows from friendly staff who remember your name and genuinely enjoy sharing a moment with every guest.
