Mission Bar + Tapas - Pittsfield, Massachusetts
It’s not hyperbole to say that Mission Bar + Tapas revolutionized nightlife in Pittsfield. If you’re looking for a spot for a late supper after a play, movie or concert downown, head to Mission and you can take your time because the kitchen stays open until midnight seven days a week, which really is owner Jim Benson’s idea of community service. “I want Pittsfield to be the type of small city that I want to live in, which means being able to eat something good late at night,” says Benson, who recently started serving lunch at Mission, too. No matter what you’re craving, you will find more than few things that will satisfy your hunger because Benson has put together a menu of yummy things like roast eggplant dip ($6), cheeseburger or salmon BLT sliders ($6), bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with blue cheese ($6), french fries ($3) fried calamari ($8) and garlic shrimp ($9). At this time of year, you can sit at one of the cafe tables on North Street and watch the carnival of passersby that gives Pittsfield its quirky, urban edge, or sit inside amongst more twentysomethings than you normally see in a Berkshire restaurant and listen to live music. (Mission has its own quirks like no telephone and no mixed drinks—wine and beer only.) No matter. Mission makes you believe, as Benson certainly does, in the vitality of Pittsfield.
