The Venetian Soda Lounge

What a cool, funky, comfortable vibe! Caught some live music, ate spring rolls and nachos and enjoyed unique (and delicious) soda drinks. The live music was fantastic (Charlie Brown's Christmas jazz). Loved it!

Very cool ambiance and decor. The food was delicious. My favorite was the Italian pork sausage with the zinger kraut. Both the food and drinks were very affordable, especially for the quality.

I was at the Venetian soda Lounge this past Saturday evening at a musical performance. We had purchased tickets and when we arrived at the door, or told the was standing room only and actually maybe not even that. There was a side room where we should go where you couldn't see the band. I actually didn't complain then, but 15 minutes later I'm trying to get a drink and I couldn't get any service. Finally a bartender told me that I had to walk around the corner and stand in line for a drink Even though the main bar where I was standing was empty. The manager told me to move away from the bar and when I said that I had paid for tickets and there wasn't even standing room only he basically said that's not his problem and I should just go into the other room where we couldn't see the band. They had four people working the bar and it was the slowest bar service I've seen in my life. They we're all like deer in the headlights, bartending for the first time. The manager was rude and uncompromising and asked me to leave the building, after we had paid for tickets, couldn't get a drink, and as seniors, had nowhere to sit. And really didn't even have a place to stand. Appalling service. Never again. There's a business that deserves to go out of business.

Cute small spot with lots of events. A bit of a hidden gem with great drinks. Bit of a younger crowd but it was still a great spot, highly recommend!

Cozy and relaxed atmosphere!!! Highlighting local musicians and artists… as one of the singers mentioned, this place builds community. Simple snacks and excellent drinks make The Venetian Soda Lounge a MUST when in Burlington.

This place rules. My husband and I were on vacation and wanted to play trivia, so we stumbled on The Venetian Soda Lounge. We loved the atmosphere, the relaxed vibe of the place, and the awesome cocktail menu. I love seeing a place with a mocktail menu that shows just as much care and creativity as its alcoholic counterpart. Truly a gem! Don't miss out on this awesome place!

We went for LOTR trivia night and were incredibly disappointed. Ordered a drink and some corn dogs at the counter - they took my card for the tab and gave me a number. Over an hour later, our food hasn’t come, so I go to the counter and ask if it’ll be much longer. The staff said “oh we don’t have corndogs, they forgot to take it off the menu.” So you just didn’t say anything and left us waiting for food that was never coming? Meanwhile everyone who ordered after us got food, so they either threw out or purposely ignored our ticket. We then ordered hot dogs and tater tots instead, and when the staff eventually came to bring the tater tots, he threw it onto the table in front of me. They vaguely offered a discount for the trouble but didn’t end up applying it and charged me $50 for 1 drink and two hot dogs w tots.
On top of that, the trivia host made a point to say after every question that he didn’t watch or care about LOTR at all; the questions were sometimes flagrantly incorrect, and there were none of the “themed cocktails and cocktails” advertised for the event.
$50 for the most abysmal service and worst trivia I’ve ever encountered in Burlington.

Went for tiki night, it was a fun time. Very vibey, fun decor. The tiki cocktails were great, had the classics

Tickets said doors open @ 7:00 but the guy at the door said the time changed to 7:30 but he never apologized or even acknowledged the inconvenience of the time change. It seemed he couldn't care less about us having to wait in the hallway.
