Excellent quality & terrific pub atmosphere

Loving our latest Tripadvisor review!


The '6 House Pub offers a quality meal as well as warm and welcoming service. Owning a bed & breakfast in the area, when our guests request a referral for Pub fare/atmosphere this is our "go to" recommendation. Whether you are a single, couple or family with kids the menu is extensive and has something for every taste. Sampling the house wine as well as a Maine craft beer, we found value as well as affordable pricing. Consistently a great place!

The ’6 Pub House Article by Kate Kellar


If you are looking for a comfortable atmosphere with exceptional food, the ‘6 House Pub on Route 7 in Williamstown, MA is the place to go.  Their dining room has a country style feel, where you can relax while enjoying the company you are with, the food you order, and the excellent service they provide.
Before you enter the main dining room, you’ll walk through the “Tap Room”, which is the bar.  Here you might catch a number of locals enjoying a beer and good conversation.  The ‘6 House Pub has a great wine, beer, and cocktails list to choose from.  Entering the dining room, you’ll notice that a number of the tables have at least one high-backed and completely cushioned chair; you will certainly be able to relax at your dinner in one of those chairs.  The furniture they use throughout the dining is country style, which makes you feel like you’re at home; take a look around the room at all the antique furniture they have, it’s interesting to see.
But that’s not the only thing that will keep you going back to the The ‘6 Pub House restaurant; the food is phenomenal.  They have a variety of salads, soups, pasta dishes, seafood, steak, burgers, and sandwiches; it all depends on what you are in the mood for.  My personal favorite is the Silken Lobster Bisque; although it seems simple, it has such full flavor and texture that you can make a meal out of it.  All of the meals they serve are in large portions, and you will end up taking food home to enjoy another time.  You will not be disappointed.
So, if you are ever headed up to Williamstown or another part of the beautiful Berkshires, I strongly recommend the ‘6 House Pub for your dining.  It’s great for special occasions or even just a casual meal passing through on your way to Williamstown or another part of the beautiful Berkshires.

Tuna Carpaccio, A '6 House Pub Favorite



Tuna Carpaccio: Seared Ahi tuna, pickled ginger, wasabi aioli, fanned over mixed greens.
$11.96

Recommended wine pairing:
Shiraz~Wolf Blass South Australia Yellow Label, glass $6.46, bottle $24.96 or Chardonnay~Kendall Jackson Vintner’s Reserve, glass $ 7.96, bottle $29.96

A little about wasabi aioli: 
Wasabi, also called Japanese horseradish, is a member of the Brassicaceae family, which includes cabbages, horseradish, mustard, radish and broccoli. Wasabi is not actually from the horseradish species (only the family). It’s commonly referred to it that way because of its' strong flavor reminiscent of fresh horseradish. 

Traditionally aioli is made from garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and egg. In this country most aioli has a mayonnaise base which makes it much safer from a food safety standpoint, as then you are eating a safely made product instead of raw eggs.

The spicyness of the wasabi aioli is very complimentary to the Tuna Carpaccio, melding a zip and zest that balances the creamy texture and slightly oily/buttery taste of the Ahi Tuna.

“Our go-to when in Williamstown”
We travel to Williamstown every January to visit friends. On our first trip, several years ago, we stayed at a motel down the road and had dinner with the friends at the '6 House. And then another dinner there on our own. Now, we stay at the 1896 House, adjacent to the restaurant (see my separate review), largely *because* it's right there.

This is a justifiably popular place. Great burgers, salads and "spaghetts". Good beer on tap served at just the right temperature. Friendly and efficient service. It's really the kind of place that you just want to go for well made, plentiful food and a relaxed setting.

Referenced review from above:

“It just gets better”
Just came back from our annual trip to Williamstown to visit friends, and our annual stay at the 1896 House. Clean, comfortable, well managed. In the past year they've added flat screen TVs AND memory-foam mattress tops -- best nights' sleep I've had in a long time.

The "brookside" rooms have a small brook (!) running right underneath your rear window, and a little bigger one running across the front of the property. A very peaceful setting.

In addition to the comfort, one of the major draws continues to be the adjacent '06 House restaurant. You can tell from how busy this large place always is that it deserves its popularity. We had dinner there two of our three nights in the area (the third with friends). It's also where the lovely breakfast is set out each morning: fresh scrambled eggs, thin and tasty (but not charred!) bacon; bread, bagels and English muffins; yogurt, hard boiled eggs, coffee cake, and on and on. AND a waffle maker with batter dispenser -- my kids have discovered the joys of adding cocoa mix, or crumbled Fruit Loops cereal, or crumbled bacon, or.....

Oh, yes. Everyone who works at this place is absolutely kind and helpful. What more could you want? We don't even think of staying anywhere else when in this area.

Cooking with Maple




Maple syrup is a syrup usually made from the xylem sap of sugar maple, red maple, or black maple trees, although it can also be made from other maple species. In cold climates, these trees store starch in their trunks and roots before the winter; the starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in the spring. Maple trees can be tapped by boring holes into their trunks and collecting the exuded sap. The sap is processed by heating to evaporate much of the water, leaving the concentrated syrup. For more information and background about Maple Syrup please visit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_syrup.

What many people don't know is that the highly sought after and more expensive Grade A syrup while lovely for pouring over pancakes and waffles is not the best grade to use for cooking. Grade B which has a deeper, richer, more mapley flavor is much better.

A few of my favorite maple dressing recipes:

Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette
1 cup Grade B maple syrup
1 cup good quality balsamic vinegar
3 tea. fresh chopped garlic
2 tea. fresh chopped rosemary, approximately 6-7 stalks
Mix well and whisk in slowly
1 1/2 cups pure (not XV) olive oil.
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.
-storage in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks

Miso Maple Ginger Dressing
4 Tble. Grade B maple syrup
8 tea ponzu lemon or lime
2 Tble.
4 Tble. fresh lime juice
3 Tble. fresh chopped or grated ginger
1 tea. smoked paprika
3 tea. whole grain mustard
Mix well and whisk in slowly
6 Tble. pure (not XV) olive oil.
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.
-storage in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks

Raspberry Maple Dressing
4 Tbsp. Grade B maple syrup
1/2 cup raspberry vinegar
1 1/2 cup pure (not XV) olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.
-storage in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks

For little zippier version of this, add 2 Tble raspberry jam and 3 tea. Sriracha hot sauce.
