Drinks and tinctures
Whitney W.

One of the coolest cocktail bars I've ever experienced. They offer drinks that you won't find anywhere else curated by true mixologists who love their jobs. Bartenders enjoy telling you all about the various potions they're serving up. The place exudes a dark cozy vibe with interesting artwork and even artwork individual customers have drawn up while hanging out there.

This cocktail place had such a cool vibe. The bartender knows his stuff and the staff were so friendly. These are definitely craft cocktails, the bartender takes his time for these creations. All of the flavors are unique. I got the Bikini Atoll, which was a rum based drink. My husband got the chilled monkey brains! If you're a fan of Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, get that! We also got their cupcakes, it was delicious and on theme.

This place! We were walking to a different destination and saw the sandwich board out front and decided to check it out. We sat at the bar and thought it was such a cool vibe inside. Ordered several of their signature cocktail drinks and were impressed. You can tell they have a creative and dedicated staff. Definitely check this place out for cool cocktail creations!

Always funky good music, eclectic art work, delicious cocktails. Quite loud but otherwise a really fun spot that makes unique and incredibly tasty cocktails. They also offer food, which tends to be dishes on the smaller portion side of things, but are incredibly good and freshly made!

Devil Takes a Holiday is an awesome, moody cocktail lounge with an extensive cocktail list (all delicious, all creative) and perfect light bites. I ordered a Sexting on the Beach (vodka, oak-infused peach liqeur, sour orange, cranberry cordial), and heard the I Like it When You Call Me Big Poppy was akin to limoncello. Each cocktail has a brief description explaining the flavor in a fun and irreverent way. They have a variety of light bites, including fries, olives, deviled eggs, and bread and butter, but I opted for the tinned fish (smoked trout), that came with banana peppers, lemon wedges, mustard seed, sourdough toasted in olve oil, red pepper flakes, and flaky sea salt. YUM! A great cocktail bar in downtown Burlington!

"Beet with the Stir" was a great cocktail.

Don't want to be rude but online said they were open until 11pm. I got there at 10, ordered a drink. Ordered a second drink at 10:13 and the bartender told me it was last call on cocktails so I could only beer and wine after. I watched 6 people come in at 10:20pm to 10:30 come in thinking they were open to be told they were closed. Lox croquettes were mid. Not sure why they closed early when people were walking in. Was at The 126 before and it was packed. Went to Wallflower Collective and it was packed too. Hope the owner knows the bar is costing them business....

Really cool spot -- perfect to match the Halloween season. I got a Thai iced tea cocktail with whipped coconut milk on top. The presentation was fab. The only thing I'd change up is the crushed ice... didn't like that it absorbs much of the drink.

Came in here for a quick drink while shopping in downtown Burlington and before dinner the other night. The ambiance is great and offers a very unique vibe but if you're someone who doesn't appreciate dark restaurants this may not be the place for you. The menu is very extensive as far as drinks go and they offer so many different crazy concoctions. To be honest when I came in I wasn't feeling anything out of the ordinary and just got an old fashioned. The drink was okay but also nothing to write home about. Over all it was an okay experience and I think this is a great spot if you just want to grab a drink with friends. The service is good and seemed friendly!

Yo, this place is fresh. Hella good drinks, chill staff and good music. Maybe that's not your thing and I totally get it, peace to you. But if is your thing, come and partake of the aromas. Peace!

Hot Buttered YUM. Delicious! Absolutely get this. Rum, marshmallows, brownie bits at the bottom, with a spoon. Has non-alcoholic version.

5 stars because of the insanely good drink-- Hot buttered yum It's also nice that it has a non-alcoholic option if you want although I did get the rum. It was an ample pour. 5/5. Would get this again and probably would ask them to put extra brownie at the bottom if possible. Marshmallows were perfect. Nice for a winter evening.

I like it when you call me big poppy... delicious!

An Exquisite Culinary Experience…read more Rogue Rabbit in Burlington is nothing short of exquisite. I rate places by their category, and this one earns my highest marks in the three most important categories: food, drinks, and overall experience very fun casual atmosphere. The pizza was a masterpiece. Thick, insanely fresh dough was complemented by a decadently sweet-savory tomato sauce and topped with a perfect combination of savory sausage, sweet onion, and ricotta. Simply scrumptious. The drink menu is tight but brilliantly creative. I started with the Good Catastrophe (Brandy, Italicus, Lemon, Turbines, Orange Bitters)--exquisite. I followed it with the mind-blowing Via Con Dio (Rye, Ramazotti, Honey, Strawberry and espresso). Topping all this off was the wait staff and Mary, a wizard/artist at drink mixing. The staff and the patrons made this, along with the food and drink, one of the best holistic dining experiences I've had in years. Astounding and exquisite.

Like a taste of Rome in Vermont! Ordered at the front and our food came out in no time. Loved the…read moremortadella/arugula sandwich and added pistachio cream and heirloom tomatoes - wow! Also loved the zucchini caprese salad. The schiacciata bread on our sandwich was so fresh and light and the Negroni was just as good as in Italy--kept stealing sips of my husband's drink! Also had the special coconut/mint lemonade--also great! Lovely staff and comfy vibe too. Well worth the price for an amazing lunch. Who needs another crappy brewpub or yet another blah farm to table place? Not us! Go here! You will not be disappointed.

There's no other small music venue I have been too that has the same ambience and vibe as Light Club. They wrangle in some pretty great artists both local and touring (seen loads of friends here as well as Sean Watkins of Nickelcreek and Tom Brosseau plus found a host of new favorites). Food is from next door at Duino and it's fantastic. Beer list is pretty good (all bottles and cans) and the drink menu is inventive and delicious. They just recently opened up and raise the two front tables by the window which I am still indifferent about. I thought it was cool before because people could "take in" the music but still have a quiet conversation without being rude to the performers. Need to check out another show there before making that call. I love this room whether its packed or it's just me, the performer and the bartender (which sadly has happened before). Burlington just needs to get out and see more music and this is the place to do it.

I ordered the Something Fun cocktail, which was fruity, refreshing, and beautifully presented with blue salt speckled around the rim of the glass. For dinner, I had the whole trout in a dill sauce with a side of purple cauliflower. Everything is locally sourced, and while the menu features a few staples, it changes daily. Each menu is date-stamped, which I'm obsessed with--it's a great reminder of how fresh everything is. Vermont generally has a great local food scene, and I really appreciate the thoughtfulness behind the ingredients, presentation, and overall quality. Frankie's is a restaurant I'd highly recommend for groups, family dinners, date nights, or even corporate dinners. I'd love to come back and explore more of their wine selection. The staff is incredibly welcoming, happy to chat, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Expect to spend around $75 per person for a meal, a side or appetizer, and one drink.

Burlington local, first time going to Frankie's. Only hear good things about it…read more Pros: service, quality/freshness of food The service was top notch from when we first entered until we left. We were immediately greeted and seated. They helped take our coats/hang them for us. We were always closely attended to and given time if more was needed. The homemade pasta dish we got with greens and mushrooms was fantastic! My bf liked the shrimp appetizer/smaller dish and we all liked the trout, but it seemed a little mushy/overcooked. Cons: loud/bad acoustics, dim, portion size(only for one specific dish) A little hard to hear inside when it's at peak capacity. Was at dinner with a group of four and it was quite hard to hear the person diagonally across from me the entire night. Lighting was a little too dim for my personal liking but others may not mind(for example, it was darker inside than it was outside at 6pm). Food was overall very good. The disappointments were a clam dish we couldn't even first find any clams in and then the two people who got them when we divided up the dish only got two each! And the side greens, seemed overcooked and were over-salted. Would definitely try it again would recommend to others.

I was a little hesitant coming here because great food is just as important to me as great drinks,…read moreand the menu was very limited. The menu listed only two mains: a "Charred Oat Burger" and a "Short Rib Toastie" in addition to two salads and four "shareables". I believe there were one or two specials that day as well, one being Steak Frites. But the food reviews were good and the drink reviews were great so I decided to go. Even if I had second thoughts the welcome from Bob the bartender when I entered (first customer when I arrived at 5:00 opening time) seemed so sincere that not staying was out of the question. I took my seat at the bar (supposedly rebuilt with materials from a bar in Ireland that closed). Bob was great, with an enthusiasm for great whiskey that he couldn't hide if he tried, and didn't seem to mind that I'm not enough of a connoisseur to have many opinions of my own. Between other customers that soon filled the place he kept me talking and I'm not much of a talker. About whiskey, where I'm from, Burlington in general, and he gave me some tips on some lesser-known Vermont attractions I didn't know about. Their whiskey collection was large and from many lands. Having just returned from Ireland I was pleased to see several I remember from my visit - not just the usual Jamesons here! I prefer a cocktail to straight whiskey though, so it was Sazeracs tonight. Two specialties. First the Rosemary's Sazerac: Bulleit Rye, rosemary syrup, Peychauds bitters, rinse of Laphroaig, torched rosemary sprig. My second was also a Sazerac: their Irish Sazerac, made with an Irish whiskey and other ingredients which I've forgotten. Both drinks were fantastic, generous with the alcohol, and made with attention to details like properly-sized ice cubes (large) and pre-chilled glasses. For food I got the "Charred Oak Burger." I don't know where the "oak" comes in. The only burger on the menu, it was made with two thin patties, a great quantity of whiskey & honey-glazed pork belly in large pieces, kimchi mayo, and a brioche bun. One of the most interesting burgers I've had in a long time. Even though it was a bit overstuffed more due to the pork belly than the patties I managed to eat it without it falling apart, a common problem with burgers. Instead of the fries it came with I elected to get the roasted Brussels sprouts instead, a special shareable of the day. I don't think I was charged extra even though it was a rather large portion. These were excellent too, sweet and bacony with no bitterness. As it got busier the noise level increased but only moderately. I liked the music playing, a mix of blues and energetic classic rock. Overhearing other conversations I could tell that these were discerning customers who took their whiskey seriously and asked detailed questions before settling on their choice of libation. Just two things on the dessert menu: Chocolate Overload and Caramel Sea Salt Cheesecake. I got the Overload: chocolate cake with Bailey's Irish Cream sauce. Nothing special but I enjoyed it; a nice way to finish the meal. It was big enough that I took about half home, along with half the Brussels sprouts. This is definitely a place I want to come back to. I wish the food menu was more extensive but that burger and sprouts were so good I could see repeating the same menu again, trying new specialty cocktails next time.

There are a lot of things that I like about Orlando's when compared to other local bars…read more 1. Their mixed drinks are made consistently well. Many bars in the area pour especially strong or especially weak drinks that are not consistent, and that can make it hard to keep track of how much you're drinking. At Orlando's, the strength of my mixed drinks remains the same each time. The bartenders are professional, knowledgeable, and swift. 2. Their cocktail offerings are fun! They do some unique offerings with fun seasonal stuff that really gets you in the spirit of the season. Some other reviews mention that they don't have an extensive wine list-- it's not really that type of place. It's sort of like a classy pub, not a high end hotel bar. Expect to find cool cocktails and a moderate beer selection. 3. The vibes are cool! It's very speakeasy-underground-cool vibes. It's dark inside with old fashioned lamps and various types of seating, both at the bar and at tables. Some tables have old fashioned bar games at them like ring and hook. They have a stage for live music and a small space for dancing. I will say the one downside of Orlando's is that when they're doing music, either live or over speakers, it's so loud that it's hard to be social there.
