What Ale's You

so last night i went to the worst bar ive ever been to. for the first time ever i was kicked out, of a burlington bar....not because i had too much to drink, but because the bartender was stupid enough to make a drink exactly how i instructed him not to make it....now as a bartender i have sympathy because you cant always hear what someone is ordering, so i even offered to pay. i was met by "just get the fuck out of my bar" . so long story short...dont go to this bar. ever. for any reason. ever. unless youre under 21, because they seem to get down on that.

Loud. Divey. Cheap.

You'll find beers for $1 here... YEAH... $1... FOR DRAFT....

...BUT, it quickly becomes a shit-show frat party after dinner time.  Go here to pre-game and head out at the first signs of UVM.

Where to start?

Ãœberdouchey clientele, although this goes with the territory for every other Main Street bar

Tacky sports bar feel.  This is downtown Burlington for Christ's sake.  If watching football replays at 1130 on a Friday night is your idea of fun then I guess you might enjoy this.

Loud and horrible music coming over the speakers.  And this wasn't a live band.   This was pre-recorded music.  I literally had to SHOUT in order to talk to the person across the table.  It's not like this is a nightclub, either.  The music playing was like AC/DC or Nickleback or something.  I wish I was joking.

20 dollar minimum on credit cards

The only redeeming thing about this place was the cheap drafts: one dollar for PBR and two dollars for Switchback.  Not really enough to make up for how shitty it is though.
