Great local bar and madden tournaments! Free pool and foosball! 10/10 would come back
Had to call to police to get my real license back from the bouncer. After refusing to hear me out for 30 minutes he finally apologized when the police gave it back, but refused to admit he did anything wrong taking a real license and refusing to give it back.

Dive bar. Place was cool. Bartender was cool and nice to us. They got foozeball, pool, and CHESS! Got a nice garage door to open up to get some airflow on nice days. Bathroom is chromed out! Stainless steel from floor to ceiling. Very classy. Sign says they got a ps5 apparently. So that's cool. Would come back.

One of the worst bar staffs I’ve ever seen and experiences I’ve ever had. Racist , disrespectful, I was shocked how the bouncers talked to the people spending money there. I literally saw a bouncer threaten to kick a puppy of a guy that was out front smoking!! You can’t make this up! I love a good dive bar , I just don’t like dive people.
Female bartender was extremely rude! $13 for a shot of Hennessy, what is told after ordering they only accept cash. Unfortunately only had $12 on me. She denied my money and got upset and dumped the drink, wasting it rather than getting 99% of value. So I decided to leave and never come back! Bartender messed what is rude instead of, creating a happy first time customer with repeat business.

One word CHESS!!!!!!!
Came here with some friends for some cold beers ? and pool, met some people that we played, had a great time !
If you are looking for a bartender to make you an alcoholic beverage, go here. No bars make drinks the way these guys properly do.

A great bar to stumble on into. The bar tender on duty was awesome. He had a great sense of humor and was very attentive. If you are in the area and looking for a beer this is the place to be.
ESOX is the best bar in Burlington solely based on the people that work there and the regular patrons that frequent. It’s tight like a family but welcoming enough to adopt a strange new weirdo if you act right. I left my server book there with three hundred dollars in it a week ago and one of the beautiful staff members set it aside for me with a note. Good people, strong drinks, and an overwhelming sense of community. Will go to this bar until I die.
Michael, is a good bartender. Recommend this bar over monkey bar and OP.
ESOX is the beautiful epitome of the term dive-bar. It's a smaller spot that offers a jukebox, free pool, and an laid back atmosphere. Drinks are very reasonably priced (and typically well made) plus, they offer specials and deals on pitchers. Even the staff here are great. All in all, definitely a personal favorite bar in town and one I would recommend to most!
It's a dive bar yall. Cash only. Decent heavy pours on mix drinks. Tenders are all tight and decent, respect them and they will you. Don't ask for doubles you won't need it. Free pool in the back (new table). AMI Jukebox on deck. Chess upon request. Decent foot long hot dogs upon request as well for 2 bucks including sauces and condiments (until supplies run out). Various chips/snacks. Holidays and sporting events they'll have loads of food for the masses. Open till 2 bring your ID and proof of vacc.
