About Us
Situated in a historic old barn built in 1896 (the bar was the bull pen; the main dining room housed the cows), the ‘6 House Pub is part of a 17 acre complex, complete with a babbling brook, an expansive duck pond, lovely gardens, a stately gazebo, and the historic 1896 House Inn which includes three hotel properties – Brookside & Pondside country guest rooms, and the luxurious Barnside suites.
Our Story
Where It All Began
The ’6 House Pub, formerly called The 1896 House Restaurant, has been in operation since 1948 and has served more than three million guests. Since this building once housed the Williamstown Theatre Festival’s late night Cabaret, we have served many people you may have heard of – – Paul Newman, Mary Tyler Moore, Angela Lansbury, Count Basie, Joanne Woodward, Chita Rivera, Christopher & Dana Reeve (they met on our property!) and many, many, more. These are popular people, to be sure, but not more important than each and every one of our millions of guests.

What People are Saying
“A Great Find”
“Dinner, drinks, and service were all lovely. I’ve never been to such a cool restaurant before; we read the history about the place and it was once an old dairy barn. The staff was friendly and had all the proper protocols in place to keep everyone safe from Covid. Outdoor fire pit and heaters to keep people warm on cool nights and an indoor fireplace too.”
Matthew
“Great Food”
“We enjoyed our last meal in the area here. Our server Zac was awesome and had great recommendations. We sat outside on the porch with our dog. We both had specials off the menu that were delicious and our portions were huge. Highly recommend having dinner here.”
