Why does this place smell like vomit and shit filled diapers? I would NOT go here. Was here last night and these girls were throwing stools and smacking and pushing each other and the bouncer watched then turned his head and ignored it. The only good thing about this place is how cheap their drinks are but they won't even give you a goddamn lime slice with your shot. Honestly I am concerned about the people who can sit there and enjoy a drink casually just sitting through the smell of puke.

Doesn’t cut people off when they’ve had too much to drink and are falling all over people. Seems to also let underage people in with fake ids and then won’t kick them out when they’re falling all over the place. They seem to care more about money than people’s safety. Music isn’t good and the drinks aren’t good either. Spend your money elsewhere.

Decent bar. Lively and definitely catered to a younger college crowd. Had 8 dollar beers and some 3 dollar bud light bottles. Has a pool table in the back. Only the women's room was available because unfortunately the men's room had vomit or feces on the walls.

Be warned. They charged my card the following night on top of the original charge for a different amount. I ordered $29 worth of drinks including tip and paid for it, then the next day they charged me $16 and I wasn't even in town. I submitted a chargeback through my CC company and hopefully it dings them. Fraud is illegal and it's really scummy of them to do this..

Just came out of club metronome (which is great btw) and we were waiting for our uber home. It was freezing cold out, and we saw a huge group of people in Akes' Place so we thought they were still open and we could step inside for a minute to warm up. Nope. The moment we stepped inside we were screamed at by an employee "**** OFF - GET OUT!!!!" We weren't drunk, we weren't resisting, we weren't causing a scene. All it would have taken to get us to leave is "sorry guys, we're closed". I've worked as a server/bartender for years, so I understand wanting to close and go home but this is not the way. Reading through other reviews this business clearly has very low standards for who they hire.

Amazing atmosphere quite but I would give it a five star if the men’s room had a lock, hand soap and saw flies in there. But the drink is good and the bartender is amazing.

2nd best bar in Burlington.....sorry I worked at the other one.....I hope you still have darts. Always on the list when I visit VT.
I like this place. I typically go when it's just opening for a quick drink before I get dinner or something. It has good service. The reason for 3 stars is it kind of smells a little and the pool table needs some work

It was pretty good and the bartender went out of his way to make us a drink that we would like even though it wasn't an actual drink.

This bar was terrible. waited a hour and a half in line just for the bouncer to snap my REAL ID in half...went up to the bar later on to ask for a free drink considering I the difficulty I'll have going out for the next few weeks (aka have to bring my passport everywhere) bartender asked to see my ID that bouncer broke and he turned me down saying "if it was real it would not snap".... If your bouncer didn't "test" my ID by bending it in half it wouldn't snap...thanks a lot! if your a normal functioning person do not go to this bar.
