    I've been coming to this bar for two years now and through all the employees and customers I've met, the service has been fantastic, the vibe has been great, and they always have delicious popcorn (for free, too!). This is a great place to go if you're looking for a nice drink to chill by yourself or with friends.

    Oh, OP -- It's been a long time since I was at you last -- and in honor of TBT, i visited the old stomping grounds of a yesteryear gone by. And I still adore you for the grungy dive bar you are. Well priced drink specials for every day of the week, free popcorn, a well worn pool table, slightly sketch bathrooms downstairs; the staples of a 'dive bar' are definitely met. The bartenders are always friendly and the people are diverse and make for fun people watching. This place certainly attracts a particular crowd (youngins and regualrs), so if you are in anyway uncomfortable in settings as such, this may be a pass for you. But for me, I will enjoy popping my head in every so often to listen to the eclectic music, take in the dark and hazy atmosphere, and sip PBR or other equally cheap but delightful beer directly out of a pitcher.

    Tried to play pool but after winning twice we were kicked out because we "played table scratch" these people are NOT beating the stereotype.

    The bartender was a dick. Yelling at people for not leaving a nice enough tip. Out of pocket. He was more drunk than me! Bad vibes

    Our feelings were hurt. The manager was rude. We were being completely tame too. Props on the cheap drinks - if only you could be nicer.

    Dive bar for the locals. The drinks were pretty big and cheap. There's a pool table, but other than that, nothing really stood out.

Had a great time at the Whiskey Den last night! I had been cautious to go in as the previous business in this location was sketchy. I was so pleasantly surprised! Kyle the bartender was friendly and patient (something that can be challenging for bartenders). Music was your typical small town Vermont bar, but mixed it up here and there. Don't get me wrong you will run into classic St. J characters.... But it is a big space so you can find your own corner. Got to speak with the owner Joanna and she was lovely! She is creating a space for everyone, and very strict on keeping out the riff Raff and is careful not to over serve to avoid problems and keep customers feeling safe. .....if you need a break past 9pm in St.J, I would give it a try!

I had vodka/club soda and the drink was fine. When I got there it was just me and another guy, one of the most charactery of characters, and some club type music and strobe lights playing for an empty room.... eventually some more people showed up but I think maybe toning down the "trying to be a club" vibe on a quiet Thursday night would be helpful... it just felt kind of silly.

You're likely to fall on the stairs, you need to…read moreturn sideways to get into the stall of the ladies room, and the lights on top of the pool table are duct taped into place. That being said, there's a nice side room for groups on the first floor, a stage for shows or random jamming (also open mic nights) the pool table is $1 a game and functional but there's only one cue. There's also an enclosed back terrace. I've only ever stopped in on two occasions so I could say I went to my friends show. Until yesterday I didn't even know there was a second floor. The owner was awesome and let my friends use the stage and instruments to jam at the end of the night. We chilled, played pool, were allowed to connect our own music into the speakers upstairs and it was actually really fun. I wouldn't go when it's full but people, but for some friends catching up and playing pool it was spot effing on.

Glory holes and peeping holes in the bathroom, stairs that have alarming cracks, balcony in shambles, etc. Prices are decent though and staff is okay. Last time I went there and I tried playing pool, one of the ceiling lamps fell on the pool table and interrupted my game. Also saw a girl fall down the stairs and after puking on them. Cheap beer though.
