WESTFIELD

Westfield is a Pioneer Valley city west of Springfield with a cluster of bars and breweries that book live entertainment regularly.

Five venues keep the calendar active: 7B's Bar & Grill, Westwood Restaurant and Pub, Bright Ideas Brewing, Gabes 252, and Tin Bridge Brewing all host live music, primarily cover bands, acoustic duos, and local originals on weekends.

Westfield's scene is community-driven and brewery-forward. The craft beer boom has given the city several new venues where live music is part of the taproom experience.

Tip: The Elm Street and Columbia Street corridors cluster several of the bars and restaurants. For larger shows, Springfield venues are about 15 minutes east.
