Toasted Owl

I always enjoy coming here. I consider The Toasted Owl and Fitzwilly’s as one and the same since they are attached and open to each other. It is a great place for a drink and appetizers. The food is always consistent, bar food meets trying to be more upscale. If your there to watch a game there are ample screens for that or you can go into the dining areas and be away from the bar. When it is busy, which is often, the service can be slow but it is always worth a stop in.

The setting of the place is actually really cool, with the brick wall and the old church prie dieu. Just wanted to be clear that I have only been here twice and I have never had food here.
The first time I was here we sat at the bar. We both had something off the beer tap and it was rather tasty. They have a rather decent selection. The bartender was awesome! The hubby and I were on a day drinking date and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was nice and quiet and we thought, this would be a perfect place to come back to watch a game!
The next time we came here, it was with a couple of our friends from out of town. The place was rather packed, which I would expect for a Friday night. This time, everyone ordered something off the tap, I decided to venture out and get a bloody Mary. That was bad on my part, it was awful. I will never do that again. It somehow tasted like cocktail sauce with vodka, not sure what their mix is. Maybe it was watered down bloody Mary mix? I am not sure, but I will never order that again from them. The only thing that was good about the drink was the olives. I will stick to the tap beer from this place!

I must say my friends and I love this place. We’ve been a few times when we come to downtown Northampton and it hasn’t disappointed us yet.
It’s attached to fitzwillys so you can bounce back and forth. The actual bar is pretty large; it stretches the entire inside as an oval. On the weekends it does get packed so that can be frustrating but the bartenders are attentive so the wait never gets too long.
The prices are fair and again, probably the best bartenders in town. This is my new go to bar in NoHo!

Have not been out in Hamp for a while and thought a great personal pizza from the Toasted Owl would fit the bill. Heart broken they don’t have there old menu. The do have killer Mac and cheese. Nicely played.

Stopped here on a mid week afternoon and ordered the boneless wings and a beer. The first thing you notice is that there are PLENTY of TV’s. This looks like a fantastic place to go to watch a game. The bar goes all the way around and no matter where you sit, you get a good view of a big screen TV. Casual sports bar atmosphere here.
As far as the wings, they were very 6 large very large strips of chicken, but they appeared to be cut boneless chicken breast pieces. They were huge pieces, but chicken breast as boneless wings just didn’t do it for me as they were dry. Next time I would just order the regular bone in wings. The sauce was good, and it was crispy.

Love this place. Anytime wife and I are downtown we stop in for our usual order of loaded nachos mucho grande, sloppy Jose quesadillas, wedge salad and two Hawaiian beach burgers (beef, pineapple, bacon and teriyaki sauce) cooked perfect medium well for our entrees. Food is always spot on and I’m a major foodie and can tell when the kitchen is slipping and this place turns it out alway’s right. My wife can’t tell half the time when her food is burnt since her mouth is like a trash truck but with this place that’s never been a problem. Good selection of craft local beers like Sam summer and blue moon. Service is always great. The one time we changed our usual order to add on Irish nachos and the kitchen forgot to make them they totally gave us free Mac n cheese with loads of andouille sausage and an ice cream sundae for desert. Can’t beat that.
Lastly, if your like me and hate it when they have the volume off on the tvs then this place is for you. They have the volume up on all the tvs that way you can hear the sox game, Patriots, nascar, UMass football and WWE blasting all at the same time! It’s like a symphony of sports broadcasts and miller lite commercials. Awesome.

This was of second stop on a night out. The service was excellent. The bartenders we very friendly. Great beer selection. We had some wings that were just ok. The bathrooms were located downstairs and weren’t labeled men or women. Strange. We would go back.

Great beer list (I wish they varied it up more, though).
I love the food. Tons of TVs, and bartenders that are always willing to switch TVs so customers can see what they want to see.
As a local, it’s my go-​to when friends roll through town for a quick drink and/​or meal.

Nice sports bar type atmosphere and a menu with good simple bar favorites. I had the wings which were quite good. They have 28 beers on tap which include a wide variety of local Massachusetts brews. They also have free peanuts on the bar. Seemed like a great place to stop in at after a bike ride as it is right off the Norwottuck Rail Trail.

Buffalo wings are great. Nicely sized, crispy and an adequate amount of sauce (we chose medium spice and that was just right), but was lacking in ranch or blue cheese quantity for the number of wings we got. The waitstaff was courteous, but served the wrong beer to my husband. Overall a good experience.

Very, very good pub fare food. Simple items done at a high quality level. Décor is nice, tv screens everywhere. If busy it gets crowded fast and the bartenders have to hustle to keep up. Drink selections are ateong, folks there are friendly, and the boneless wings are dynamite. Always a good option.

Great atmosphere for a small place. TVs everywhere and music choice was decent. Drinks were strong and inexpensive. Also, they might have some of the best wings I’ve ever had in my life and I’m somewhat of a wing connoisseur!

Great bar with great atmosphere. Food is not bad either considering it’s primarily a bar. Good place to kick back with friends and enjoy a night out.

Great bar connected to Fitzwillys. We strolled around town looking for a good bar stop and stumbled upon this little gem! The entire place is self seated and most of the space is taken up by a large circular bar, but there are a few tables/​booths in front of the bar (some with individual TVs).
We didn’t eat but the menu featured a «create your own» baked macaroni dish with a lot of options– made me sad we had just eaten! I ordered a Manhattan made to perfection and a VERY generous size for relatively cheap. If we find our way back to the area, we would definitely go back, but with an appetite next time.
Just a good, laid back, chill bar with a great beer selection, generous bartenders, and (appealingly, because we did not eat) a good food menu for a bar.

Nice bar. Pretty clean and organized. Good beer selection served cold. Bathrooms weren’t great and were downstairs in a dirty basement. Otherwise it was good and I will be back if I’m ever back in Northampton.

Came in looking to eat lunch and watch football. But you’re playing really obnoxious techno hip hop at 2:00 in the afternoon and it’s extremely annoying. If you had some good music on, I would probably stay.

This is a pretty good sports bar. They recently upgraded their beer menu to include more of the less common beers, going beyond Bud Light and Coors Light. The food is okay, but with so many options in town, there’s no real reason to order more than a snack here.

The Toasted Owl is still one of the best places to get wings in MA, I have yet to find a place that does boneless wings as well as Toasted in NYC (Atomic Wings is okay but can be really greasy). It is part of the reason why I still make the trip back up to where I used live a few years ago.
Please allow me to geek out over boneless wings. Many restaurants/​bars either only offer uniformly shaped, stamped from a machine, processed chicken fingers or they only offer tiny, little strips. That is not the case at Toasted. The size of their boneless wings are very large, it’s like they took a chicken breast and split it into 2 pieces, 3 at the most and battered them. There are twelve sauces you can try. I suggest trying both the Solid Gold and the Sweet Sriracha, they are habit forming. Also, nothing irritates me more than having to ask or pay for extra blue cheese for dipping. The Toasted Owl easily provides you with 2 to 3 times what other places would offer.
The place is not that large and they only have maybe 7 – 8 tables. I would usually visit on Sundays to watch football while having a few beers along with the wings and maybe a pizza. Their pizzas are tasty and about 10″ in diameter. I’d suggest the carne asada, the blue shroom, BBQ chicken, or the Margherita. They also have over a dozen beers on tap, maybe even closer to 20. All in all, a pretty nice place to get your grub on.

Hard to get a seat unless you get there early before peak hours
Food is pretty good– excellent if you’re in the mood for wings. I like their boneless wings better than the hangar. They also make great buffalo wings.
My favorite place to go to watch the games and see familiar faces

Toasted (as most of us refer to it) is always a lot of fun. At first, I only came here for drinks late-​night on a given night Thurs-​Sat. It is always crowded and noisy; no dancing. Don’t come if that isn’t your thing. Tons and tons of TVs — perhaps the closest thing to a sports bar I’ve enjoyed in Northampton, as they are always playing sports. A biiiig round bar, with very competent bartenders as many flavored vodkas as you can think of… plus a new beer made just for them by BBC, a local brewery about 20 minutes away (Toasted Owl Ale). Staff is always friendly.
The food is actually really good — hello, burgers for around $ 3? They’re not huge, but the perfect size for me as I can eat the whole thing, not leave a bite, and not be too full or still hungry. Their solid gold sauce (generally used for wings) is amazing; always get some to dip my fries in. The menu is not extensive; apps, sandwiches, pizzas, a few salads and a few entrees. Haven’t tried it all but it all sounds good. Pop next door to Fitzwilly’s if you want more choices.
