I love this place!…read more If you like classic arcade games and pinball games from the 80's & 90's (and who doesn't), you will love The Archives! It is exactly what you would expect - an old school arcade mashed up with a bar that serves quality drink selections. They have many classics including: Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede, Dig Dug, Frogger, etc. Pinball games include: Star Wars, Pokemon, and Godzilla. The customers and workers are all super friendly. Prices are reasonable. My wife and I want to come back for some tournaments. I think I'd have a shot at Ms. Pac-man. She would dominate Star Wars.

I thought this place was perfectly fine…read more came maybe like around 7, it was pretty busy in general. i saw the oysters but i wound up feeling like they were too expensive so i passed on them, i think it was like 3+ per, might have to try to find a happy hour. i got a fish and chips, which was actually fish + two shrimp. i thought the dish was fine, wasn't bad overall i didn't feel like it was very much food, all things considered. $22 plus tax and tip is a fair bit to come away from still feeling sort of hungry, but i'd still probably come back again just because i thought the service was good and fairly quick. the vibe here is nice too if you want something more lively

Over the Fourth of July weekend, a friend and I stopped by Three Needs around 1:00 a.m. We ordered…read moredrinks and planned to grab some pizza before heading home. As we were leaving, my friend told me that the bartender had called him a "Nazi" and a "racist" because of the shirt he was wearing. It was simply a black shirt that said "Happy 250 Years" with an American flag behind the text. I turned around to ask why she felt that way. Before I could even finish speaking, she immediately became confrontational. I asked how his shirt made him a racist or a Nazi, especially considering he's friends with me, a Hispanic male. Instead of having a conversation, she told me to leave, took the beer that I had already paid for, and refused to let me finish it. She then called over a bouncer and, from my perspective, falsely told him that I had said, "You don't have any colored friends." I never made that statement and immediately told the bouncer it wasn't true. The one positive part of the experience was the bouncer. He remained calm, listened to both sides, and professionally de-escalated the situation. I handed him my beer and left peacefully. It's unfortunate because the rest of our Fourth of July was great, and this was a disappointing way to end the night. I used to enjoy going to Three Needs, but after being treated this way and seeing my friend labeled with such serious accusations over a T-shirt, I won't be returning. I hope management takes the time to look into what happened that night, because no customer should be treated this way for simply asking a question or wearing a shirt celebrating the Fourth of July. After we left and were standing outside, several other customers came over to us and apologized for what had happened. They also told us that, in their experience, this bartender has a reputation for treating customers this way. Whether that's accurate is for management to determine, but based on my own experience that night, I was extremely disappointed.

It was a gorgeous day and we were able to sit outside, which I really enjoyed. They were umbrellas above us, which were much needed when it started to drizzle! I enjoyed the waiter, although my wife did not. He talked a lot and everything I asked him was his favorite. It didn't seem genuine. Especially when the table sat down next to us and everything they wanted or was his favorite too. We were disappointed that the one thing we wanted on the menu was not available for food. They're mocktails were a normal price and their cocktails were a little pricey, but well worth it for the craft that they were doing. I enjoyed both of the cocktails that I had, although was disappointed that they didn't have the monkey brains cocktail that I wanted anymore. Overall, it was a cute place and I'd probably go back to have a cocktail.

The simple act of keeping a creep out of a bar is more than 90% of bars in America, but I am thankful the staff and in particular the bouncer cares about peoples safety. They are tolerant, but when someone's behavior is egregious and obviously dangerous or disruptive they intervene quickly and respectfully. The OP's regulars are some of the most charming and compassionate people you will find in Burlington. The bar is often full of artists, musicians, and people you will get along with if you're the creative type. The drinks are cheap, the staff is caring and most importantly this bar cares about people first. If you want to go somewhere where being a predator is chill, go somewhere else. If you want a tight knit community full of life and love go to the Other Place!

Mule Bar is more than some divy ass place. Actually has a pretty good menu of some healthy things and not just greasy junk. The food includes a few vegan items as well. At lunch it wasn't that busy. It's pretty cramped inside so it still felt like it was, but we got a few bar seats. The drink menu was why we came, and there was good stuff on this. Lots of local beers on tap to choose from. Of course they make mules. It's about $12 for a cocktail. The coolest sounding one was the Peanut Butter Jelly Thyme. It's peanut butter washed bourbon with plum, strawberry, and thyme bitters. Kind of like drinking a sandwich. Speaking of sandwiches, they had these to eat too. It's about $13 to get one. They have burgers, and they have the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Amazing fact: you can get a vegan version of it. They make the alternate with some kind of plant based patty. Get lots of great drinks and food. It's more of a bar, but the food is as good as at a restaurant. There's healthier options, including things okay for vegans and vegetarians.
