We’re intentionally planning very little before our trip to Burlingon, Vermont next week, but Esquire’s best bar issue came out and I had to take a look at Vermont’s showing. Chicago has 8 bars in the compiled list. Burlington has 1, which, per capita, is probably better … even though it feels a bit light.
The bar on this list is Three Needs. And if you trust Yelp (or this one), it’s either the greatest place in the world or a sacrilegious abomination to all that his holy and good. It’s odd that that place doesn’t have its own website. I’m all for old-timey throw-backs, but this feels a little backwards. This will require further research, because there’s also a bar in town called The Monkey House. More to come.
