The Student Prince Cafe in Massachusetts was opened September 24, 1935 by Paul Schoeder and Erna Sievers. It was named after Sigmund Romberg's lighthearted operetta of Heidelberg student life, The Student Prince. Most of the woodwork in the bar area is original despite generations of "Gemutlichkeit". About twenty steins adorned the bar when it opened; this collection has grown to one of the largest in the United States.

In 1660 on this site, John Pynchon constructed a fort to defend the tiny settlement of Springfield. In October of 1675, the town was burned to the ground by the forces of King Phillip's Pocumtuck Indians. Only Pynchon's fort withstood the attack, finally falling to urban renewal in 1831.

In honor of this event, on February 18,1946 we opened The Fort dining room, highlighted by stained glass windows crafted by German artisans who had settled in New Jersey. The dining room had a separate entrance and name to encourage family trade.

Since 1935, we have served many celebrities, but more importantly, we have served many loyal local customers. We are not only known for our stein and art collections but also for our delicious food. We are proud of our staff who strive to make each meal a pleasant memory. The secret ingredient of our restaurant is LOVE. Call to book a table... 413-734-7475.

SWEARING, LYING, STEALING AND DRINKING
When you swear, swear by your country
When you lie, lie for a pretty woman
When you steal, steal away from bad company
And when you drink, drink with me!
