Vermont

Pick a city to see bars, breweries, and nightlife nearby.

Vermont's modern bar scene is a relatively recent story: the state banned alcohol outright from 1853 to 1902, and Burlington went roughly a century without a single brewery before Vermont Pub and Brewery opened there in 1988 after years of lobbying to legalize brewpubs. Since then, it's become one of the most brewery-dense states per capita in the country, home to cult-favorite names like The Alchemist and Hill Farmstead that draw beer tourists from across the U.S. BarFinder lists 586 venues statewide, led by classic bars and pubs with breweries close behind - local spots like Black Flannel Brewing Co. and Stowe Cider reflect a state where a trip to the bar is often a trip to the brewery. Small-scale and craft-focused, Vermont's bar scene rewards seeking out the right taproom.
