Sophia’s Pizza & Sports Bar

Excellent staff, food, cocktails and many tv’s for everyone! Free pizza 11 pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays, plus Mondays thru Fridays from 4−6pm. Kitchen is now open on Thursday –Saturday until 1:30 am.

Sophia’s is an acres staple. Been coming here for years and it’s a good neighborhood bar. It’s nothing fancy at all. I’ve been for a few football games and they’ve had wing specials. Their wings are very good and their drink prices are reasonable. I think I paid $ 4 for a beer. Not a bad place to just relax low key.

We live 5 minutes away and this is always our last resort place. The food is fair to decent but the service is just awful. Slow forgetful waitresses and long wait for average food. We haven’t been here in probably 6 months, and will be another 6 if we go back.

Great food, everytime. Awful service, everytime. All the waitresses and bartenders need to get rid of their attitudes.

Our number one choice for a local dive bar. Great atmosphere, variety in the crowd. You get the young people from WNEU but you still have an older crowd that comes in too. Food is above average, definitely hits the spot when your drinking. At certain times they put out free food for people to much on. Which is awesome. It’s the perfect place for a low key night of drinking with friends, or a great pre-​game bar to get some food in your belly and a little tipsy. Sometimes they have live music or trivia too, both are a nice touch.

One of the closest divey bars to our house. The quick drive makes it an easy choice to catch any Patriots game (including the Super Bowl), or future Red Sox games.
Ambiance:
–dive bar with tons of barstools around a HUGE wrap around bar, also some high top, booth, and table seating
–bar and restaurant are not well-​separated
–tons of TVs, most turned to the same thing. For the first 10 minutes of the Super Bowl, they had the sound off in the restaurant side of the building– missed out on some funny commercials.
–bathrooms are SINGLE stalls (WHY?!) and there’s usually someone in there. They are also PERPETUALLY out of toilet paper. PS if you’re disabled and/​or in a wheelchair, the small bathroom may present a challenge.
Staff:
–waitresses are «OK», they always seem to have the same ladies working.
–service is a little bit slow, especially during football games. A pitcher might take 5 minutes to get to your table, and food might take 20 minutes or more.
–staff often rolls silver right next to your table (not exactly adding to the ambiance, are we), and hang out at the bar after their shift’s over.
Food:
–we’ve ordered pizza twice and wings once.
–the pizza is pretty good, with a chewy thick crust. It’s different than most I’ve eaten, but I do like it. Standard toppings, etc.
–the wings are pretty damn good. They are sauced, but not soaking and dripping in it. the skin is nice and crispy, perfect for mowing down.
–free buffet during halftime of the Super Bowl was «meh»: a bunch of pasta, pretty blasé, except the baked ziti… yum.
–take-​out available, tons of people coming in and out for pick up. The phone was ringing off the hook during the entire game.
Price:
–everything seems to be reasonably affordable. You can get, for example, a large pizza and a pitcher of beer for $ 20.
This place definitely isn’t the ideal location for a first date or lunch with your in-​laws, but it’s a great spot to catch a game and get some wings! Go Patriots!

Dad and I ordered the buffalo hot wings, 7 Greek spinach pies, and hamburger with fries. Solid hamburger, decent fries (not that crispy), meh wings (too dry), and excellent Greek spinach pies. It’s on the miscellaneous additions menu and they’re seven small fried triangles filled with spinach pesto and cheese — like fried ravioli– with the Mediterranean yogurt sauce that starts with a «t». All in all it was a nice lunch.

This place is a time capsule, and a good one, if you care to remember the good old days when people were friendly, food was honest and all the charm was not choked out of the place by corporate America. The place has really good food at fair prices, plenty of room, multiple TV’s to watch games a pool table and a juke box. It even has restaurant style seating so it is good for families. The pizza, for a bar, had plenty of cheese, great tasting pepperoni and a light crust. The buffalo wings were first rate both for hot and mild and the more you order the more you save. We knocked out 50. The Irish Nacho appetizer was as good as it gets. They also have about a ten beer draft selection with some standard micros. We had the Goose Island Honkers Ale by the pitcher This is a simple formula but harder and harder to find in today’s America.

I wouldn’t recommend this place. The food is terrible and the staff don’t seem to really care much. I came here for lunch once and will never make that mistake again. I did give it another chance and came on a Saturday night to relax and have a few drinks. The vibe in there is awful. After one beer I left. Better places to relax and have a good time not far from here.

Is what it is. Decent bar food, quasi-​neighborhood dive in Springfield. When I was a grad student at SC, this was an awesome place to escape the undergrad claptrap as things were strictly enforced, etc. It’s a laid back atmosphere. Food isn’t great, but it def. isn’t awful either. It’s a good place that masquerades as a local stool/​grad bar/​law student watering hole.

This bar makes you feel at home with its comfy atmosphere. The service in the restaurant and behind the bar is friendly, efficient and fun. A wide selection of drafts an bottles for beer caters to different tastes, or there are several different top shelf vodkas and whiskeys for a straight shooter. The food, especially the wings (chili lime is my favorite) is delicious bar food… Definitely a place I would recommend for sports watchers or casual bar goers.

Stopped in here randomly for darts based on the promise of darts in the Unilocal listing for this place — their only darts were an electronic machine so we didn’t play, but the atmosphere for the games was great. Watched the bruins and the sox simultaneously. Very good beer selection, very fun bar tenders as long as you put in the effort to start a real conversation and to learn their names. That’s kind of life advice, though.

A low key sports bar/​restaurant. A simple menu, but all the food was delicious. I recommend the Irish nachos. (which are actually waffle fries doused in nacho cheese). A decent draft beer selection and friendly service.

Good staff. Great wings. Decent amount of televisions to watch sports. Beer selection could be better. College bar at night.

Great laid-​back atmosphere if you want a low key night out and catch some sports games. Been here many many times and keep coming back.

The owner of this place is some neurotic Greek guy named Tommy. He caters to the Keno playing 60 year old barfly smokers, and not the younger crowd that actually have money. The food is mediocre at best. Some of the bartenders are nice, but his daughter has the worst attitude. He acts like everyone is trying to steal from him. Especially the bar stools which he bolted to the floor. The whole thing with taking your credit card is insulting and bizarre. If you want to watch Greek soccer, watch old people play keno, drink cheap gross beer, and feel insulted, this is the dive bar for you.
Stopped in a couple weeks ago and nothing has really changed. Same old crowd with barely a pulse pumping amongst the bunch. What made this night special was the guy who shit on the bathroom floor and then went back to the bar to drink like nothing happened. Maybe he seen the graffiti above the bathroom door telling Tommy to fix this shit hole, and took it literally with his own feces. Anyway, although it was epic, I really won’t be back.

The bartender (don’t remember her name) should not be serving people. Always upset looking.
They definitely come around and check on your drinks. They will ask you incessantly even if you have a full drink in front of you.

This Bar is always a 100 degrees never any AC! You must leave your drivers license and credit card for a tab, who makes you leave a drivers license? The beer is never ice cold just barely cold. Two of the regular bartenders usually have attitudes. The new bartenders are always nice and the wings are delicious.

This 5 star rating is specifically for their delicious gyros. I’ve had both types of gyros and I highly recommend it. Inexpensive, filling and their service is fast.
Sophia’s is also fun on Thursday nights when they have their late night dinner buffet. Pretty sure it’s Thursday nights, but I might be wrong and you could probably call to ask/​double check. Anyway, they put out a buffet of pizza, pasta and breadsticks etc so if you’re there with friends watching tv and drinking beers it’s a nice bonus.

This is a favorite stop for me whether for a drink and some Keno or for dinner. It’s a comfortable place to walk into, the food is good for what it is (bar type menu and pizza.)
One item stands out for me which is their broasted chicken wings, if I remember correctly blue cheese and celery are extra.
