Bar & Grill near Vergennes

“Delicious food and excellent service! We’d walked in without a reservation and were told that unfortunately it would be about a 45 minute wait — a few minutes later when we were walking down the street looking for somewhere else to eat, the manager flagged us down on the street to let us know some bar seating had cleared out early. Well worth it as the service, ambiance, and food were amazing! Don’t miss the shrimp lulu and shacksbury dry cider.“

“A solid sports bar in rural Vermont. We arrived after the happy hour crowd had cleared out, so the vibe was mostly locals. We enjoyed prompt, friendly service and draft beer.The menu features the usual tavern fare plus a broad range of made-to-order pizzas and calzones. We settled on the Caesar salad and a pepperoni calzone.The salad was good and large - definitely a portion for two - and the calzone was excellent: a crispy crust stuffed with a hot, flavorful blend of ricotta and mozzarella and plenty of pepperonis. This is also an entree to share, although one person could put it away if you skip an appetizer.The marinara sauce for the calzone deserves its own paragraph. It must be homemade, as it’s just that good: tart without being sour, sweet (tomatoes are fruit, right?) without being sugary. We were enjoying it so much, we asked for a second terrine.Next time, I’ll try the burger, but that sauce is so good – you can’t go wrong with the pizzas.“
