    Dizgo performing 2/2/25

    What a cool venue for concerts. $2 sodas and free bottles of water to keep the crowd hydrated. Super nice bartenders and chill security made for a great night to see Dizgo at Killington. Had so much fun and re entry is allowed for smoking.

    Weather report for Pickle Barrel: Cloudy with a chance of urine.

    RUN AWAY AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM PICKLE BARREL. UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SHIT ON. Literally. We sat at a table on Saturday night under a leaky pipe until we realized the pipe that was leaking was what was being flushed out of the toilets. We only realized it wasn't just water because it really started to smell after a while. That's right, we were getting leaked on with everyone's urine and feces. Into our drinks, on our clothes, in our hair. We filed a complaint immediately with the manager. He took me away from other patrons to explain that it was in fact water being flushed from the toilets, and that he's been asking the owner to fix it for weeks. He gave me my money back and told me to "go home and take a hot shower." HOW ARE YOU STILL OPEN IF THERE IS LITERAL SHIT FALLING FROM THE CEILING? People were eating, drinking all around it. I told the manager he needed to block the area off immediately. But, we went back a few hours later just to check what the manager did, and people are STILL standing around, drinking, eating right under this shit storm falling from the ceiling. At this point, there are literally PUDDLES of poop everywhere. And everyone is hanging out having a grand ole time. I have a strange feeling there's a reason why this bar only gives out "bottled water" when you ask for H20. Also, for those who don't mind a little feces, you'll pay a $20 cover. I'm sorry, but you're not that cool. I live in Boston and have never paid that much to get into a bar. I hope you're using this ridiculous cover fee to fix your shitty pipes (PUN VERY MUCH INTENDED).

    So let me begin by saying that I went to the art show/local performance this past Thursday and had…read morea GREAT time. Both performers were really good, and the vibe was nice. The beer on tap was decent as well. However, when I went THE NEXT NIGHT (Friday/yesterday) I showed up with my friend and got carded by a teeny bopper security guard named Kevin. He took my ID inside to "further examine", and came back with his minion Steve in tow saying I had to leave because it was a fake and if I didn't like it then call the police. OBVIOUSLY MY ID LOOKS DIFFERENT BECAUSE I AM FROM MISSISSIPPI. So I understand the hesitation - However, BURLINGTON IS A SANCTUARY CITY. YOURE GOING TO IDS FROM PLACES WAAYYYY FARTHER AND THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH WAY MORE THAN MINE. As migrants, we should not be subjected to the humiliation of standing in front of the club with police in full garb because you don't know how to look at IDs from places other than Vermont. At any rate, I digress. I proceeded to call the non emergency line for the police to validate my very real ID. They validated it via phone, so the bouncers handed my ID back but said I still wasn't welcome to come inside. I asked the police to come in person. While waiting for his arrival 7 different people passed with nothing more than a fist bump. The police finally arrived, and said that he was "too busy" to run my ID and even if it's valid they didn't have to let me in. After visiting a more worthy bar, my friend and I attempted to go back to Metronome to give it another try. This time, Xavier very rudely told us, "You already tried earlier. Leave." I spoke with Officer Ross who was standing in front of Metronome while on patrol. He agreed to call in and validate my ID. Once he did, he walked in and told Kevin, Steve, and Xavier that it is indeed real. I WAS STILL DENIED ENTRY. The police reiterated that they cannot force them to let me in. At this point, it was no longer about entry (the place has 25 people on a good night). It was ALL about the principle. I felt that this act was discriminatory, so I asked for the reasons my ID was singled out. The bouncers mumbled half responses about the fact that it was issued in 2015 and had a peeling layer. KEEP IN MIND: IT'S AN ID THAT EXPIRES EVERY FOUR YEARS. IF IT WAS ISSUED IN AUGUST OF 2015, IT WOULD EXPIRE IN AUGUST OF 2019. A four year old ID will not look brand new. In the end, the Sargent from the PD came. He was extremely respectful and heard my point. Ultimately, I don't really care that I couldn't enter this sorry excuse for a club. The real issue is that I didn't want anyone else who moved to Vermont seeking asylum from WHATEVER to be subjected to the same treatment. It's unacceptable. Ultimately, if you're going to scrutinize that hard then you should have UV lights and scanners or other unbiased methods to check identification. Having some bouncer who isn't even old enough to drink judging IDs off of his (lack of) worldly knowledge is not going to cut it in 2019 or beyond. Most people would say, "I'm never going back." But I'm saying quite the contrary. I'm showing up every single week with the same ID until it expires. If you'd like to play that game every Friday Metronome, we can. If not, I look forward to enjoying my time with the rest of the Vermonters, and especially the migrants. Think twice before acting on bias the next time.

    I really used to like this place but, I think there is new management or something....anyhow:…read moreJust performed here again recently. Was shocked at the lack of professionalism, rude staff, and angry sound people. Won't be going back for awhile. Too bad, it was once a fun spot:(
