Esox Reviews | Burlington Restaurants & Bars

I used to be a big fan of this place but it eventually got overrun with hipsters. Â It can get really crowded on the weekends and the music can get incredibly loud. Â The bartenders are cool, but the drinks are pricier than you'd expect from the divey atmosphere of the place. Â Also the pitchers have a huge ice holder in the middle of them, which totally limits the amount of beer you get. Â If you show up on a weekday when it's just you and some other locals, it can be nice.

I think the only reason people like eSox is because their friends are there. I've fallen for this dozens of times, but its really not for me. Everyone's been yelled at by the bartender at some point, for me it was because he didn't understand why I wasnt calling PBR "pibber". There is a constant flow of Dragonforce on the jukebox, admittedly amusing at first. The only good deal is the $4.75 PBR pitchers, which are often all taken and you have to resort to 2.75 flat PBR pints or hard booze. Why not just go to a dive bar with drink specials?

My favorite dive bar in Burlington. On a busy night (Friday/Saturday), it's a great place to hang with friends, rock the jukebox, and embark on some cheap beers or stiff drinks. Fun place to people watch because the crowd/clientele is usually always interesting. I give 4 stars only because 1) I dread going to the bathroom here and 2) I dread succumbing to Bob the bartender's wrath when settling up a credit card tab with only 1 drink on it. (This sometimes happens! Really. I swear.) Otherwise... rage Esox with wreckless abandon if the mood strikes you. It will never disappoint. (Well. Maybe it will. If dive bars aren't your thing.)
