The OP might be my new favorite dive in Burlington. The beer is cheap, but the selection is great…read more They even have the cheapest cans of Focal Banger I've found yet. This is a pretty typical grungy-in-a-good-way Burlington bar. Its full of college kids and there's a pool table. If I remember correctly there's a tin ceiling which I guess makes the OP one of the more architecturally interesting college/dives in town. Since its on the fringe of downtown, the OP doesn't seem to get as rowdy as the bars on Church or Main.

Conveniently located in church street, it was great to plan out the rest of the day and be in the center of all the great shopping. The service was exceptional and answered all of our questions.

Great cozy pub for a rainy day. I had an IPA that was light and refreshing - forgot the name of it…read morebut it was very easy to drink and honestly might be one of the best IPA's I've had. It was also very reasonably priced for craft beer. For dinner I had the special which was a hot honey chicken sandwich that had goat cheese and string onions, served with a side salad with house vinaigrette and a side of ranch. The server did warn me, and it was written on the menu too, that the hot honey was quite spicy, and indeed it was! I was sweating from the spice, but it was good! The ranch on the side was nice to cool it down a bit. Good service, good food, but would honestly go back for just the beer! Side note: the women's restroom was very clean and had locally made soap that smelt so nice which was a nice touch.

Has a lot of local beers on tap, along with more in bottles and cans. The bar is a lot quieter than many others. Basic looking old dive bar. It doesn't get as much of the college crowd. This is mostly for the locals. Beers are the main things to get. It's about $6 for a pint of local stuff. Among the local brewers is Fiddlehead. They also of course have plenty of Jameson and that kind of stuff. Get lots of good local beers. It has quite a few, a crap ton on tap to choose from. There's no food, but you probably wouldn't want to eat anything made here though.
