“I flew into Burlington VT for a teaching assignment and needed to set up some specialized equipment for the class at the Hilton. Being a little pressed for time and already past normal lunch time I decided to stop by the Beacon at the hotel. I usually prefer local dining but I made an exception and I am glad I did. I was met with two amazing young ladies, Blake and Alison,who steered me through the menu and made recommendations. I also noticed an airline pilot setting at the next table eating a burger. He said his meal was delicious so ordered some sort of quinoa and fresh spinach salad topped with salmon. The salmon was cooked just right and the flavors blended superbly. Thanks Blake and Alison for surprising me an excellent dining experience.“

Pool table and outside seating in the back with tables, chairs, foot rests and even has a grill and horseshoes. Bartenders were very friendly and outgoing. One of the best "local" bars in town that I experienced.“

“Cold drinks, chill atmosphere“

“As far as dive bars go you can't get any better than ESOX.
You can see the entire crowd right from the door, free pool with purchase of drink, limited food selection but it's a sports bar not really a gastropub. $2 hot dogs and $1 single servings of chips, amazing mixed drinks, double shots, free fooseball with drink purchase, and amazing staff!!“

“Needed a good old-fashioned dive bar karaoke experience last weekend and boy did this place deliver. Solid drafts at good prices, bar never too packed to get a drink reasonably fast, and both Nathan and Shiva were wonderful karaoke hosts who kept things moving and were great performers themselves. Fun diverse crowd, too!“

“This is the OG Bar of Burlington that didn't sell our or shut down. No food but affordable drinks, amazing service. Emily at the bar was amazing. Remember please tip respectfully. I witnessed a customer ordered 6 beers and 4 mixed drinks and tip $5. If that was you, you should be ashamed. This is the most authentic bar in Burlington. Cheers to Akes“

“Fish and chips here is delicious and huge portions. Big filet of fish, lightly battered, you couldn't beat it in many other places. Their fries are also pretty great. Had a Caesar salad as replacement too which was tasty. The server was super chill. He gave some suggestions/advice on what food to get which was helpful.“

“Intimate setting for music, spoken word, creative community!“

“Jed, the Mixologist is amazing. He has an incredible range of combinations and mixes that will suit your every mood and taste. A genius!“

“When in Burlington, fill up at Three Needs! The pizza is excellent, crispy well cooked crust, no flop. I got a no cheese vegan pizza and it was delicious, the roasted garlic was a standout. Alex devoured the Sausage and Pepperoni pie and Sam was very into his pizza which had tomatoes, I’m always a little suspicious of that, but then again I had carmelized onions, so who is the suspicious one??? The beer was cold and served with care, on a disgustingly hot and humid day, who wants anything more. Alex raved about the cider, I had the Hazy Conehead (maybe?). This isn’t drunk pizza, this is legit anytime you want to enjoy the good life pizza, am I right?“

“Fun place great pizza! Great location“
