Warm-Weather Staple Pedrin’s Dairy Bar Now Open For The 2026 Season In North Adams

Everyone in Northern Berkshire County considers it to be the start of spring once Pedrin's opens for the season. That event occurred on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.

Pedrin's Dairy Bar is not just a seasonal spot from mid-March to mid-October; it's a beloved warm-weather destination for those living in Northern Berkshire.

My Favorite Menu Item

Whenever someone asks me, "What's my favorite food from Pedrin's?" I always pick the Fish & Chips. Not because it's Lent season, but because they are just my favorites that no one else can beat! So I thought, since it's opening day, why not have it for lunch?

Of course, Fish isn't the only thing on their menu; they also serve hot dogs, hamburgers, and grinders.

Brief Pedrin's Dairy Bar History

According to The Berkshire Eagle, the building, originally a train stop, was purchased by Julio and Rita Pedrin in the early 1950s. They refurbished it and opened Pedrin's Dairy Bar. Gordon and Amy Deeb bought it in 1963 and, over the years, transformed it into a booming business. The Deebs added the now-infamous fish fry and perfected its onion ring batter and cole slaw recipes.
