Live in Burlington long enough, and you'll have at least one first date at this downtown landmark. It's almost a rite of passage for singles in the Queen City.

With a wide variety of mixed cocktails, beer and house-infused vodkas, Drink lives up to its name. Grab a board game and kick back on the swanky black leather couches.
Creative cocktails and a ritzy Hotel Vermont location make this bar a prime destination for classing up your game — perhaps with jazz on Wednesdays. In warmer months, chill outdoors by the fire pit.
Thoughtfully sourced brews and interesting bar bites are the backbone of this hipster-chic hitching post.

The elegant wine bar serves 25-plus eclectic wines by the glass, plus small plates of cured meats and cheeses.
It's a room. With whiskey. Actually, it's a really nice room, with really nice whiskey — 150 regular and rare blends. Careful, now.
