McNeill's Brewery

90 Elliot St

(802)

Opens at 2pm on the weekends, open until it's closed

The bar is to the left of Kipling's and across from the fire station.

McNeillâs Brewery is a full service drinking establishment located in downtown Brattleboro on Elliot Street in an old firehouse that is across the street from the actual firehouse. As for the full service concept, McNeill's provides glasses and will even pour beer into your glass for you for a small charge. They can also put beer in a growler for you a deal at 10 bones with refills for just 8. They also have some pub food that is better than just edible. And darts. And that game with a ring on a string that you swing and catch on a hook, which is surprisingly difficult even before a few beers. Cash Only.

Flat Street Brew Pub

6 Flat Street

802-257-1911

4 pm - last call

Around the corner from the Latchis

One of the trendier bars in Brattleboro, Flat Street has a large selection of beers in the Pub and an even larger selection downstairs in the Tap Room. The bar serves the standard pub fare, but the Tap Room is adjacent to a full dining room. The bar often hosts small concerts. The imperial stout is definitely worth checking out 8.8% ABV.

Kipling's Restaurant & Pub

78 Elliot Street

(802) 257-4848â

afternoon - last call

Between McNeill's Brewery and the entrance to the parking garage.

Kipling's has standard pub food and a decent selection of beer. A nice place to stop and get a beer, hang out with friends, etc. Kipling's isn't as trendy as Flat Street Brew Pub and lacks the character and charm of McNeill's, but Kipling's make up for that by being the warmest, friendliest, and most "down-to-earth" bar in Brattleboro. The waitress is really nice too. Cash only.

The Weathervane

19 Elliot Street

(802) 258-6529

5 pm - 2 am

Between Main Street and the parking garage on the north side of the street.

The Weathervane is a unique place. They offer live music sometimes it's a DJ 5 to 7 nights a week. It's a favorite hangout of Brattleboro townies.

Metropolis Wine Bar

55 Elliot Street

(802) 254-1221

Metropolis Wine Bar is a nice spot if you want a cocktail or a glass of wine. Sometimes they have DJ and dancing and sometimes they host art showings.

Mole's Eye

4 High St

downstairs, under the Brooks building, on the SW corner of Main St and High St

First opened in 1933, but it closed in 2008. In early 2010, it opened under new ownership. They have a pool table, darts, and an interesting game that looks to be a cross between air hockey and pin ball. The beer selection is fine. The worst part of the whole place: if someone does not put money into the jukebox, no music plays. The crowd is the standard Brattleboro eclectic townie crowd.
