About the Business

Located on Jefferson Street in the heart of downtown Burlington, Paddlewheel Lounge is a relaxed neighborhood bar aiming to provide a welcoming, “Cheers”-style atmosphere. Reviewers frequently mention how friendly the staff is, noting that they do a great job keeping up with drink orders even when the bar gets packed on weekend nights. Please note that this is a cash-only establishment, but there is an ATM inside for convenience.

During the warmer months, the large outdoor beer garden—affectionately called the “paddio”—is a major draw. It features its own bar, outdoor speakers, and plenty of space to hang out. Whether you are looking for a quiet afternoon drink or a lively night out with friends, this clean, old-school tavern offers a comfortable setting to socialize and unwind.
