Radio Bean

Top choice in Burlington

This is Burlington's social hub for arts and music. Espressos, beer and wine keep things jumping at the all-day cafe, while nightly live performances (jazz, acoustic, Afro-Cuban and more) animate two stages, here and at the semi-attached Light Club Lamp Shop. Radio Bean is also noteworthy for having co-founded the Radiator, Burlington's fabled low-power indie radio station (105.9 FM, www.bigheavyworld.com/live-stream-intro).

When hunger strikes, segue into international snacks at Radio Bean's in-house sister eatery ¡Duino! (Duende).
