Opening Friday, Jan. 29, Pour Bar and Social Lounge claims to be New England’s first - and only - selfie bar.

Located on Springfield Street in Agawam, Pour offers 15 interactive, professionally lit, photo-worthy experiences, according to its website, as well as a bar and snacks.

Pour is owned by Anneliese Townsend, who launched it as a standard bar in January 2020. Amid the economic turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic, Townsend decided to get creative with her business. Thus the selfie bar was born. 

Townsend owns another Agawam business, the Agawam Axe House, with Robert Manning, according to The Reminder.

The selfie experience costs $15-$20 per person for an hour and up to 20 people can get in on a one-hour session. There is no minimum age, but Pour becomes 21-plus after 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Pour Bar serves cocktails, boozy shakes, and “killer” desserts, as well as more than 20 craft beers in cans, according to its website. The kitchen serves small plates of meats and cheeses. Due to COVID-19 economic restrictions, no alcohol can be served without food.

Selfie sessions and bar reservations can be made online or by calling (413) 654-8044.

BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) to take photos and don’t forget to charge it before you arrive, Pour noted on its website.
