The ambiance is perfect the food is delicious and music plays around the clock. If you could ask for more then you should check your priorities. We ordered the Cubano which was the best sandwich I've ever had and the Sweet Loader which absolutely delicious. The $5 shake is a great drink and The service was just fine. Everything combined a fabulous place for a nice time. Go here!

Radio Bean is a coffeehouse with interesting food and some of the best beer in VT - we all tried the Shake (stout with coffee and maple syrup) -- it is definitely something to put on your bucket list. However many of us went back to their drafts after finishing the beer. The only negative was our waitress -- she was over bearing and kept asking us for orders -- often without even given us ample time to look at the menu. And was the same way with the check - we first thought she was changing shifts but no - we concluded she was an A type personality who needed to drink some beer before she started working the floor that night.......Otherwise a great place to visit - and eat and drink for sure!!

We were suggested this place by the guys at Zero Gravity Brewery for the music scene. We went about 9pm on Thursday night and they had a nice jazz band playing. The place has the small college town funky coffee shop you would expect. We didn't eat but the tables are close so we saw other's meals with a variety of food that looked really good. And they have the illusive Alchemist Brewery Heady Topper IPA.

The free, live music starts at around 7pm - every night. Some of the acts I saw were real class. Each act has its own time slot & they keep to it. I like that . This place is a cool spot to drink / eat - just of Pearl Street. The drinks are cheaply priced. The staff are cool on another level & it has a great atmosphere. I saw Plato Ears play one night, & the bar was packed out. You'll have a good night here. 9/10

Anyone going to Burlington should stop by Radio Bean and try a $5 shake - a pint of stout with a shot of espresso and a splash of maple syrup. Sounds weird? Try the best thing to ever hit my mouth. They have a street food menu now that is pretty solid, and very fun live music most nights of the week. We visited a few times during our short visit and really fell in love with the place. My only complaint would be that the service is a bit hit or miss. But hey you're there for the drinks and the music, not a 5 star dining experience.

It was freezing outside, so we went in to have some lattes. We had the best chai latte and matte latte! We stayed for lunch, and were pleasantly surprised by our plates: amazing falafels, and pretty delicious vegan poutine. Nice little place, great food, great lattes. It's a winner!

Radio Bean hosts excellent live indie music, ranging from bands to solo instrumentalist (recent example: fingerstyle guitar wizard Glenn Roth). The venue consists of two large rooms; a bar room with a stage at the front and tables for those who want to toss back a cocktail and listen to great music and a larger dining room where you can order great locavore salads, burgers, entrees, etc. The vibe here is hip and laid back; the crowd is eclectic, ranging from bearded elders to hipster students and everything in between. It's a great place to catch some real talent and kick back with good food, a nice selection of microbrews, and some interesting cocktail options. Books on the walls, music in the halls; it's a really cool place.

Stumbled upon this little joint, caught an awesome jazz trio. Funky artistic decorations. Reminds me of some of the cool hipster spots in Philly. Love to perform there with my band.

Great coffee, eclectic local art, cool little place to hear some interesting live music on any given night. Good drafts, coffee drinks and cookies. A funky locals place, an alternative to the Church Street college bar scene.
