"If you were blindfolded and led into this dining establishment, you would be sure you were in the middle of Brooklyn—and that’s because its owner is Mark Firth, one of the founders behind Williamsburg mainstay Marlow and Sons. A low-key outpost for Berkshire diners who crave a Brooklyn-tier menu, Prairie Whale’s rustic bar fills with a crowd that’s after craft beers, artisanal cocktails, and natural wines. Come on Sunday evening to see The Lucky 5, a local jazz and swing band that will help you dance away your Sunday scaries."
