service, eh.... forbidden fruit, worth the gamble by Abba C. at InsiderPages

I've had several experiences with poor service at this establishment, but the house brewed Forbidden Fruit keeps bringing me back for more...

I can't say all the servers are bad, bucause i've had good experiences as well, but I recommend you give it a shot, even if just for the beer!

Amazing brews

by Burlington Tom at Citysearch

My wife and I took a trip to Burlington recently because we'd like to move there. With pubs like this and Ri Ra's (also in Portland, ME), I can see I'm going to enjoy this town. I recommend the Red Burly Irish Ale, apparently one of the Vermont Pub and Brewery's most popular brews. My wife (who rarely find a beer she likes) loved the raspberry ale. The bar indoors seemed cozy, but being that it was a beautiful summer evening, we sat outdoors on the patio. I enjoyed the alternative pub grub: i had an organic, locally-raised angus beer burger, and my wife had the Portabella Bird's Nest, which was quite the healthy comfort food. We also split the sweet potato fries, which I highly recommend as well. This was definitely not the last time we'll be stopping by here.

• Pros: Beer, Food, Service, Great Prices
• Cons: None!

It's all about the stout!

by tjbeckster at Citysearch

The triple smoked stout is outstanding! It keeps a perfect head all the way down the glass. Steve Miller (The Brewmaster) did a great job creating this gem of a brew. I wanted to take a keg back to Ohio with me. Stop in for a brew or two on your next visit to Burlington.

• Pros: Outstanding stout, good food and service.
• Cons: Can't take a keg of stout home on the plane.
