Deli 126

My friend and I had a great time at The 126. The bar tender was friendly and I asked him to make me something similar to an Asian Pear. He curated the drink and was so kind as he told me if I didn’t like it, I could have a different one. The drinks were well made as my friend enjoyed the pisco sour they made her too. I liked the ambiance here as well and would love to go back when they have live music.

Very nice atmosphere and extensive mixed drink and non alcoholic drink menus. They know their mixology and we had a great time. 11/10 recommend.

What an amazing place this is. The front end is a deli that makes killer sandwiches and is open until midnight. From there, you enter into a secret bar don’t want to give away the surprise of how to get in. The bar itself is a gorgeous space with lots of seating and a space for live bands. The cocktails are truly artisanal and delicious but there is also a large beer/cider list. Overall this is one of the coolest bars downtown and I can’t wait to go back!

Love this place! Excellent beverage variety. Delicious spins on classic prohibition era drinks. "Speak easy" atmosphere. Music! Secret entrance through the deli, shhhh! Check it out if you're in town for sure.

My bridal party had our bachelorette weekend in Burlington. I love The 126 and always make it a point to come here. When we attempted to enter, the bouncer would not allow one of of the girls in because she was already pretty drunk. Good call by him- I wish more bouncers were careful. So, we split the group and decided my maid of honor and I would hook back up with the others in a bit. Unfortunately, one of them, who was not even drunk picked a fight with the bouncer as my maid of honor and I were enjoying our drinks inside, and we were asked to leave. I am deeply embarrassed that this happened, but very impressed by how kind and professional the 126 staff were. I love this place even more now that I have witnessed how they skillfully and professionally dealt with the situation and were very concerned with the safety of us and others. Still the best cocktails I have had- and my maid of honor agrees. I am very much looking forward to coming back with better company.

Great place: stylish venue, great live jazz and creative cocktails.

Our group of 3 stood at the entrance for over 10 minutes while the bartenders attempted inconspicuous glancing in our direction and no server or host or anyone acknowledged us clearly waiting for some sort of assistance. If this was a seat yourself establishment, a sign indicating that would have been nice. Though, even if it was seat yourself, the tables had not been cleaned for the next groups to sit. It was incredibly infuriating that the bartenders didn’t even attempt to let us know if we were doing things wrong. I was super stoked to come in and try some amazing cocktails, but the arrogance and egocentrism just totally turned me off. We eventually just left because, well, eff that.

The hardest part about writing this review is deciding where to start! Deli 126 bartended at my wedding this past October in Vermont, and they were a pleasure to work with right off the bat. Despite it being in the middle of the pandemic, Deli 126 was brilliantly accommodating by video chatting with us as we tasted cocktails that they had prepared and had delivered to us along with garnishes! in perfectly vacuum sealed pouches. They worked extensively with us to find a perfect set of cocktails that appealed to my and my husband’s tastes and also made use of local ingredients such as my family’s maple syrup and our favorite honey supplier. They even let us name all four of the signature cocktails that they designed for our wedding! Then, on the day of the wedding, they absolutely knocked it out the park. Not only did they keep all of our guests supplied with a steady stream of incredible cocktails we never saw a backed up line once the entire night! but they also took special care to make sure that me and my husband were always supplied with a drink since they knew we wouldn’t have time to get to the bar ourselves. They brought that same attention to detail to every aspect of service the entire night, coordinating flawlessly with our wedding planner and caterer to time various stages of drink services with each phase of the wedding. This is all the more impressive in light of the fact that they did all of this at an outdoor wedding in the middle of a thunderstorm! I would absolutely recommend Deli 126 to anyone looking for a top tier bar service at any event; I can’t think of single thing that was any less than perfect the entire evening.

Wonderful jazz with the Tuesday trio. Cocktails are great and I really appreciated the interesting non-alcoholic cocktails.

Cool space with a prohibition-inspired menu and live jazz. For those abstaining, they have a variety of zero-proof cocktails, as well. Consider the "non-groni".
