Super loud, even when you sit outside it's just loud. The waitstaff do not wear uniforms so when you get there it's this awkward exchange until you figure out who is waiting on you. The pours are pretty weak if they get busy, just to get you to leave I think. Anyways if you go there already wasted you should be all set, but if you are starting your night there; maybe pick somewhere else.
Review Source:This is not a place I recommend unless you want a mean manager to take your ID, not give it back, and then claim he did, and then threaten to call the police when you insist you didn't get it back. This is what happened to my friend last night  when we were at Ake's. A very unpleasant experience and I wouldn't never go back, plus I will tell everyone at UVM to stay clear as well. Now I will have to spend 50 to get a new license. Thanks a lot guys!
Review Source:Let's be clear - I'm not a drinker, and I'm defnitely not a bar goer. I rarely go to bars or taverns. My friends insisted I go with them though, so I had my first drink in about four months here.
My first impression was that I should have brought ear plugs. The relatively tiny space was quite full and absurdly noisy. After I adjusted though, I started to enjoy myself. I watched a few games of darts on the dual dartboards, then discovered the pool table in the back (apparently used to be coin-op, but is now free-play, just put your name on the "waiting list" chalkboard.), and began to have a blast. Also picked out a few songs on the touch-screen jukebox.
All in all, by the end of the night, I was pretty satisfied. For a non-drinker, I really enjoyed the experience.
Akes place is a fun Yankees-Giants sports bar w a interesting atmosphere. Â The drinks were good and we had fun playing darts. Â Word of advice with the dark board, throw as hard as you can otherwise the darts just fall right out and you look stupid. Â This mostly because the dartboard was not regulation distance...probably because the metric system hasn't reached Burlington yet. Â We meet a lovely hobo with most of his teeth at the place. Â He baught our friend a bloody Mary and gave him a wink. Â There also was a guy rolling his gray beard into spikes at the bar. Â It all adds to the somewhat carnival atmosphere. Â The bathroom was gross, felt like I needed a shower after. Â Didn't try the food but of I had to guess it would be ok. Â All in all, Akes gets a okay to good because the beer was cheap and I wasn't shanked by a hobo.
Review Source:Never went here while I went to school here but met up with some friends while in town. Kind of a hallway of a bar, but they have some pretty solid drink specials. They are setup for some games and darts which is cool. They had a radio promotion going on while we were there.
There are a lot of bars in the town to do anything more than grab a quick beer here.
In no rush to go again and wouldn't mention it to others.
this place has the best value for the money.. cheapest drinks I encountered on church street... the scene is very diverse.. meaning you can see like people who could be your parents there and your age and they all mesh well together... they also DONT let the place get jam packed.. which can be good because it seems people in burlington never learned the phrase "excuse me"
