Rutland

Rutland, Vermont's gateway to Killington ski resort and historically known as the Marble City for its quarrying industry, has a solid small-city bar scene - BarFinder lists 23 venues here, led by classic bars and pubs with a real brewery and dive bar presence. Real local spots like Mulligan's Bar & Grill and Downtown Tavern cover the classic side, while Rutland Beer Works and Vermont Tree Spirits add some craft variety. It's a scene built as much around ski-season visitors as year-round locals.
