Radio Bean 8 North Winooski Avenue, Burlington, VT 05401

"Music forward spot that's eccentric in a good way. While the live bands were switching set-ups (4 bands were playing the night we were there), the DJ in the other connected room was jamming. You can float between the two separate spaces as you want, with bars in each. There is some seating, but it's mostly standing room with a definite college crowd...although that probably had to do with the bands that were playing while we were there which were VT alumni."

"Can't say enough good things about this venue, which sustained my social and musical life through much of college. There are many places in Burlington where you can sway half-drunk to weird songs, but I prefer to do it at Radio Bean. I'm not even really sure why"

"Stopped in for the comedy show before a late dinner. We got there at 7 and grabbed a table near the stag. The cover is $5 to $10, and I would encourage bringing some cash to tip the comedians you enjoy. The space completely filled up, and the host Max was hilarious. The entire show is under 75 minutes, and there was another group coming on after. The opening and closing comedians were very funny. Fun place to swing by."

"This place was so much fun to see a small local band play at. They also offer tea and hot drinks at the bar for those who like to see a show but don’t drink. The venue was quaint. It’s also attached to the lamp store right next door which hosts awesome dancing in the evening hours!"

"Darn good live music and an attentive bartender made for a heck of a Thursday night. In front of the bar is a spot to lick up bicycles. Out in front of the bar are tables and benches. The bar connects to the places next door."
