Two Shea's,

34 Wales Street, Rutland, VT 05701

"4 TVs to watch the games. Full bar with decent craft brews on tap, plus the usual domestic beers. Parking is not bad, with lots of spaces on the street or the small parking lot beside it. The city doesn't enforce meters after dark, it seems. One star for food because they don't serve any! But you can bring in food. Lots of good restaurants within a minute walk, and you can bring it in with you. Good pool table, just one, but it's enough. A few booths for more intimate gatherings. Definitely a "locals" place that openly welcomes outsiders. Has a nice outdoor patio area. If I had to say anything negative, it would be that it isn't bigger, and I'd wish for more craft brews on tap (only 4, though they have cans of others). It can get warm inside in winter, so dress accordingly. Good for conversation since the music is low and the noise is less than what you'd find in an Olive Garden. With this long review, you can tell this is my favorite local place. The place has been here for decades, a rare find these days."

"Local bar that is so fun and welcoming"

"Great bar tender on a Saturday evening. Very nice pool table, level and in good working order. Had a great time and will be going again for sure. They also had an outdoor deck for smoking and a bit of fresh air."

"My husband and I just moved to the area and stopped in to get to know the local spots. It became our favorite instantly! The scene’s really cool, it’s got the look and feel of a dive but the crowd was lively and the drinks were cheap. Everyone we talked to was so nice and welcoming, Izzy was the best bartender and it was overall just a great place to hang for the night."

"Amazing bartenders! Fun local place with friendly atmosphere. Good draft beer selection. Jessie and Joya make you feel at home for sure. I look forward to going next year on my annual summer vacation."
