    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.

    In one instance where my close friend was non consensually given a substance outside of the bar…read moresetting (likely roofies), the bouncer made sure to keep the person suspected of giving it to her out of the bar. The simple act of keeping a creep out of a bar is more than 90% of bars in America, but I am thankful the staff and in particular the bouncer cares about peoples safety. They are tolerant, but when someone's behavior is egregious and obviously dangerous or disruptive they intervene quickly and respectfully. The OP's regulars are some of the most charming and compassionate people you will find in Burlington. The bar is often full of artists, musicians, and people you will get along with if you're the creative type. The drinks are cheap, the staff is caring and most importantly this bar cares about people first. If you want to go somewhere where being a predator is chill, go somewhere else. If you want a tight knit community full of life and love go to the Other Place!
