When I explain what sets Three Needs apart from other bars in town my response is always something to the extent of; Three Needs is the bar you go to when you're looking to enjoy yourself, have a great time with or w/o friends, and Not have to deal with the "typical bar nonsense" people think of when they think of bars in general. It is an atmosphere intentionally cultured that can only remind you, if you're familiar with it, of the tv show Cheers. Everyone is welcome & the only thing staff really asks of their patrons is respect. Respect of the bar, respect of the staff, and most importantly respect of fellow patrons. Obviously people aren't perfect, they make mistakes, and staff would be included. That said, it's sad to see these 1 star reviews from people based on 1 particular experience. Given how tolerant staff at Three Needs tends to be I'm willing to bet that most of the 1 star reviews are from patrons, whom while drinking, crossed some line and it was addressed by staff. The result being them lashing out via a review instead of owning poor behavior. I highly recommend anyone new to the area, or just visiting, to stop in and see for yourself. There is a reason this bar is consistently nominated for every bar related category, with zero self promotion at that, when the local 7 Days "Daisy" awards come around. And I believe they have won at least 1 category every year since moving to Pearl Street. In any event, here's to stopping in and forming an opinion of your own based on your visit.

Very rude serving staff at pizza service window, scowling at me and another customer, clearly he was a bit frazzled by the amount of people who had just shown up for food. I will never give business here again.

I have 3 words to describe my experience : worst bar ever. There's plenty of cool place in Burlington and Three Needs is not one of them ! Don't waste your time or any money on that place. Peace

This place has the rudest customer service I have ever experienced in Burlington. As a young professional, I am appalled by the way I was treated by both bartenders this afternoon. I was on Church Street this afternoon around four, so thought I would go check out their "Duff" hour that I have heard about from some friends. I went in not fully understanding how their system works, so I observed what other people were doing to get a beer. Not only was I yelled at and scolded by the male bartender, but the female bartender continued to ignore me and help others around me. After standing at the bar for a few minutes, she decided to then assist me when no one else was around. I handed her a dollar and she rudely rolled her eyes and stated that "everyone else was handing her two dollars instead of one" (which is probably the reason why she did not want to help me in the first place). It is a shame that an establishment keeps employees that act this way toward their consumers. If I were management, I wound not hesitate to find replacements, especially reading countless negative reviews about the same issue below. I guarantee it is the same two employees as well. Thank you Three Needs for your lovely hospitality, this will be my first and last time as a customer in your establishment.

Yep I would go hear and mess with the staff again. They have a sense of humor but I did go overboard so I would definitely tone it down next time. Thanks Three Needs Employees for a good evening.
