Delivers solidly on exactly what they are trying to offer, a good hangout spot with cheap food & beer and a solid VT Brew tapset. A great and necessary part of the Burlington scene.

A pretty standard bar - one plus, they had free wings at 9pm which my friends and I DEVOURED.  They also had mini pitchers for something like under $7 - which consisted of 2.5 drinks or so.  Great deal, service and atmosphere were so-so. But, I'd come back and give them another shot.

I go to this place nearly every weekend as I live in the area. I would not say it's the complete place for everyone but I certainly enjoy it during the more normal hours.

Service: I personally think it could do a bit better. The staff is really congenial but at times I find myself having to patiently wait a little longer than I want, or I feel uncomfortable asking for service due to attitude. That being said, it could potentially be from being constantly understaffed by management as it seems they typically have 2 waiters and 1 bartender at the most. On a more positive note, any request I do make usually gets fulfilled hastily.

Food/Drinks: Constant lineup of beer specials and great bar food. As all the other reviews go, wings are the best choice. Great selection of sauces combined with the cheap price, it is a much better deal than Buffalo Wild Wings. I have tried other items and have never been too upset; everything tasted as expected.

Atmosphere: Sports bar by day into early evening. Club-ish by night. A lot of televisions including a large projector, generally filled with people watching the same game which is always fun. If you are there on a weekend, as soon as it gets to be around 10:30p or 11:00, you will notice a dramatic shift in the environment. Lots of college students, shots, loud dance music, and yelling. Not my cup of tea but if that is what you are seeking, this would be a decent option in downtown Burlington.

Overall: I rated the place a 3/5 because of the times I do enjoy the place. Great spot to watch sports, eat and drink for about 3 hours but if I were to remain for another 2 hours I would be miserable surrounded by obnoxious drunks.
