Bub's Bar-b-q

02/21/2026

Sorry to say but yesterday was our last day. The town notified us yesterday that there was an issue with our licenses. They came in yesterday and shut us down and notified us that we wouldn't be able to get the proper paperwork in on time to be open. This is not how we wanted our last days to end but here we are. We will be here through out the day removing things you are more then welcome to stop by and see the building as it has been for 46 years. Thank you for loving Bubs as much as we have.

We have hosted or catered your birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, and weddings. We have watched you grow up and share memories with your children in the walls of the building at 676 Amherst rd. We are not calling it quits by any means, we are pivoting to a new era for Bubs. We have talked alot about the next steps and the future for Bubs. This is our next step, we are taking Bubs on the road! We need your help and continued support. We will be open for business Friday the 20th- Sunday the 22nd and then Wed the 25th-Saturday the 28th for our last services at this location. We are looking for your help to raise money for a food truck to take Bubs to the next level. Please share and get the word out, we know there are people all over the world that know of Bubs.

Well this is a post I have been dreading to make. Bubs BBQ building has been sold and after this month we will be closing our doors and saying goodbye to the building Bubs has called home for 46yrs.
My wife and I have worked hard to keep the building. We have saved, talked with banks, lawyers, contractors, electricians but in the end the sale amount was to high and the amount of work this building needed after years of neglect. On a personal note my wife and I have also been diagnosed with unexplained infertility during this time which is another huge financial strain.
With the building needing thousands of dollars of work and our unexpected cost of starting a family we have decided it would be best to find bubs a new home.
We are so proud to own Bubs BBQ and be apart of its long history. It has been an honor to meet all the long time customers, hear your stories of the years of eating at bubs BBQ, watching all the Umass alumni come in with their UMass kids to keep the tradition alive. We hope when we find its new home you can come back and continue to make new memories.
That being said we have these last few weeks so come on down and get your BBQ fix, reminisce all your memories of the building and help us say goodbye.
Now for Bubs BBQ itself this isn't a goodbye but a see you later ❤️
P.S We will still be accepting caterings so please don't hesitate for any of your party needs!

Dont forget to grab your gift cards from us and Banchan Korean Deli. Get those stocking stuffers before its to late!

How can gift cards help survive?

Gift cards significantly help small businesses during the holidays by providing immediate cash flow to help with those big bills, insurance renewals, payroll, and permit fees that the end of the year seems to dump on them. Gift cards also attract new customers, boost brand awareness, and encourage post-holiday visits when the personal cash flow is low, acting as pre-paid revenue that brings people back in the slow season.

I mean, who hasn't gotten excited realizing you had a gift card to a favorite store?

They offer a convenient, popular gift option for customers, solving last-minute shopping dilemmas while generating future sales.

The buyer becomes a brand ambassador, spreading the name of their favorite business, and the recipient gets a first-hand experience. It's like a wallet-sized ad that promotes the brand and helps to spread the word.

Even sharing a post like this can help a small business to spread the word.

They solve the "what to buy" problem, fitting any size or taste, making them perfect for last-minute gifts.

So take a little time this season and swing by your favorite small business restaurant, store, or shop. Buy a gift card, or two, that will help that small business owner more than you realize.
