Great live jazz nightly with elevated cocktails! I really enjoy going here, especially on Tuesday nights for the New Orleans style jazz. The cocktails are some of the best in Burlington, and the vibe is fantastic for a first date, 1000th date, get together with friends, etc. The music is in a room that is separate from the bar area, so it’s easy to converse if you want to be away from the music, or you can get right into the music!
I dig it here.

We hired the 126 for bar service at our wedding in VT. From start to finish, working with The 126 was an absolute pleasure. Karyn was incredible to work with — organized, flexible, and so dedicated to making sure every detail was perfect. The entire process was enjoyable, from the initial planning to the unforgettable tasting, where we quickly realized we couldn’t choose just a few drinks… so we ended up with five signature cocktails because everything was that good!
Our guests are still talking about the bar — not only about how delicious the drinks were, but how beautifully they were presented. It genuinely felt like being at an upscale lounge rather than a wedding. The team was so thoughtful, even taking detailed notes about some of our VIP guests and their personal drink preferences, which made the service feel so intentional and elevated.
The bartenders themselves were friendly, professional, and such a fun part of the celebration. We can’t recommend The 126 enough — if you want your wedding bar to feel special, seamless, and sophisticated, they are the team to hire!

Awesome atmosphere, had a local jazz band playing, also had a separate area in the beginning where you can still communicate and listen to the music. Great drinks, and easy to get too!

We chose Deli 126 to cater our drinks at our wedding and they were amazing! So easy to work with and so flexible. We were able to have a drink tasting prior which was a super helpful experience and able to basically customize our entire drink menu. Would 100% select them again!

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!

Corey was very knowledgeable and an experienced conversationalist. He took time to explain the cocktails, ingredients, and the processes used to achieve the flavors they chose to put on the menu. Highly recommended bar to check out.

Absolutely amazing bar! My wife and I have stopped in every time we’ve been in town. The absolutely best cocktail bar around! Creative menu with a near old fashion prohibition twist. Decor is awesome and staff is all super friendly!

Can’t say enough good things. Amazing drinks and the pretzels were top 3 in my experience. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a cozy, welcoming vibe. The live music was really great too.

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.

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.
