The tradition continues!

Francie’s Tavern was originally established in 1933 by Francie O’Connor, and was owned by Mr. O’Connor for 29 years until he passed away behind the bar while bartending in 1962.

It was then bought by a fellow Holyoker, Fred Pafic. Fred ran one of the cleanest, well behaved and successful bar businesses in Holyoke until the bar was once again sold in 1986 to John Joniec.

Today, Francie’s is  owned  by  David  Johnson  and  Dave Wielgosz. Since 2006, they continue to strive to carry on the great tradition that was established 73 years earlier.

Francie’s is supported by a great customer base in a very supportive Holyoke location. The bar has evolved over the years, never forgetting the principles that make it a great place to enjoy a day or a night out! Stop by and see why Francie’s Tavern has had over 90 years of excellence in serving the Holyoke community.
