Pickle Barrel

When I was in Killington, I was with one massive group. The guy in charge of this massive group got us alll VIP passes to this place called the Pickle Barrel. In addition to going to a place called the pickle barrel... we were all dressed like the 80's... yeah we're cool.

Anyways, I decided to wear my Chive shirt (fellow chivers out there - holla) and I was having the time of my life. They had a live band there that weren't singing just rock songs, but also top 20 songs too which was actually REALLY cool and really fun!

The establishment is 2 stories and they have this balcony type area where you can look over and watch the band. When the band needs a break, they lower the lighting and TV system and play the music videos for the songs. It's definitely a pretty awesome, dancey type of place.

I ended up having SO much fun. Without the VIP passes, it would have been way more than just 5 bucks to get in here, so I am very thankful for the VIP passes. All in all - Awesome time, awesome place and great fun :]

Enjoy!

This place is a cross between Johnny Utah's in NYC and the basement jelly wrestling scene of Old School. What do I mean? Bullriding or a jelly pool seem like they belong in the middle.

This place is also strikingly similar to a large frat house. Not that there is anything wrong with that but at least at a frat house you don't run up a large tab.

The only way I would go back is if Snoop Dogg had another concert there.

Pretty girls get free cover. That's the best I can say about it.

Wait, what?! A place in Killington, Vermont charges cover (and 20 bucks at that)? Yeah, and that's not the worst.

The worst is that my vodka soda costs the same ($8) as it does in downtown Chicago. Yup, you read that right. And Bud Lights will run you $6.

I was so flabbergasted at the prices I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Ok, there's a live band, but meh. Being there on a race weekend, the place was packed, so perhaps they are upcharging for the crowds, but who knows. I much prefer JAX next door. A "dance club" in Killington just makes no sense...
