It's got a pool table, it's got a juke box, it's got TV screens, it's got dart boards, it's got tables to sit at and best of all, it's got a great bar to sit at and drink. It also happens to have a Vermont Lotto game machine. Drinks are very reasonable in price and the staff here work hard to please everyone. It's a bit on the dark side and the music can get a bit loud but it's not trying to be a bistro, it's not trying to be a brewpub, it's not trying to be a sports bar. It's just a great (and very clean) bar. If you want a place to unwind with a few drinks and actually be in a full-fledged bar, try Shooter's.

We initially tried to place a takeout order online, but the system was down. Since they don't accept phone orders, we had to go in person just to order, which was already inconvenient. Overall, it wasn't the best experience. Maple Bacon Burger - 2/5: The patty wasn't well seasoned, and the sauce was very minimal, so the sriracha aioli was barely noticeable. But the fries were the one thing they did well BBQ Brisket Sandwich - 1.5/5: Lacked flavor overall; the brisket itself wasn't seasoned Philly Cheesesteak - 1.5/5: Didn't resemble a true Philly cheesesteak and was light on meat, which made it underwhelming

Unexpectedly great food, but some of the rudest service I've experienced in a long time…read more I stopped in recently and the kitchen absolutely delivered: everything was hot, well-seasoned, and honestly far better than I expected for a casual spot. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. From the moment we sat down, the attitude from behind the bar set the tone in the worst way. The older woman tending bar was openly dismissive, rolled her eyes at simple questions about the menu, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her every time we ordered a drink or asked for something basic like water or silverware. No greeting, no smile, and zero effort to be even minimally polite. At one point she dropped drinks in front of us without a word and walked away before we could even ask for what was missing. It's a shame, because the kitchen clearly cares, but the experience at the bar completely overshadowed how good the food was. If ownership ever addresses the front-of-house attitude, this could be a fantastic place, but until then, be prepared for excellent plates paired with some truly miserable service.

Served in a skillet with potatoes, and broccoli in a savory sauce that has a hint of sweet without being overwhelmingly sweet, it is perfect. This is definitely a must stop when in Stowe!
