Very happy with the experience. Food, while limited, was on point. Drinks is where they excel, bartenders know their stuff. If I'm ever in the area again you'll find me here. This is the spot if you want a chill and welcoming atmosphere.

After a relaxing dinner elsewhere with exactly one low-ABV cocktail, my friend and I stopped by for what we thought would be a chill glass of whiskey to end the night. We were greeted warmly outside by the server who invited us in and told to grab a seat, browse the menu, and order at the bar whenever we were ready. We were looking forward to some whiskey and conversation.
Then, out of nowhere, the bartender who reeked of booze and looked like he’d been using the shelves for personal sampling, lurches over and says he “watched us walk in” and decided we’d had too much to drink. Just like that. Zero conversation, zero questions, just pure drunk condescension. We were calm, sober, and respectful. It was so baseless it felt like we were being pranked. It was clear that the only one too drunk to serve at this bar was the bartender himself.
If this review gets a response trying to justify it, just know: gaslighting sober guests who were clearly fine while stumbling around and slurring through your own customer interactions isn’t the flex you think it is.
Hospitality requires professionalism, not preemptive judgment from a bartender more interested in sampling the stash and flashing his ego than good service. There are plenty of great spots in Burlington where you’re treated like a guest, not a nuisance. This is not one of them.

Probably the best selection of whiskey in Vermont, largely a solid mid shelf selection with a few very high-end options. Great place to expand your whiskey pallet. The bartenders know their stuff and it is a very comfortable and well decorated room. It is attached to Ri Ra so you can get food there if you want a full meal. There is a limited menu of food available in the whiskey room.
