    I'm going to be in Burlington during games 3-5 of the ALCS. Any good place to watch the game and drink great beer?

    No TV at FHTG. Mule Bar over in Winooski would probably be your best bet.

    I would hit the Upper Deck Pub at the Windjammer on Williston Rd. Less than 5 minutes from Downtown Burlington, and they have a decent draft selection. Seem to always have Fiddlehead IPA on draft and plenty of Heady Topper cans, all very reasonably priced. Many tv's scattered throughout the bar. Decent food, and you can't go wrong with the salad boat!

    The Windjammer is about a 1/2 mile from our hotel. Thanks.

    If you have any inclination to travel to Waterbury, I'm pretty sure games will be on at Blackback... but you might have to listen to some whining from Ric if he's there (Yankees fan).

    VT Pub and Brewery has tvs. It's certainly not a sports bar, but it would do.

    I can't explain it but he is a Yankee fan. Fortunately he's also a HF fan.

    Ri Ra in downtown Burlington is the best place to watch sports in the area. Truly no shortage of options though. Upper Deck is great (as previously mentioned) but a little outside of downtown. If you want to go to a great dive bar for some easy sports watching, Finnigan's on College Street is the way to go. Not too many spots have both great craft beers AND are good for sports but you might get lucky and hit up a spot that'll have Heady. Go SOX! Cheers!

    Finnegans usually has a surprisingly good tap list, I'd prob go to mule bar though.

    We must not be going to the same Finnegans?
