Great music on New years eve, but keep reading.. Their could be more seating. The female bartenders were beyond rude, and Its shocking to me that they have not been let go, the snippy, cant be bothered, way in which they answered questions, was astonishing to me. I had a great night until about an hour past midnight, fantastic bands, great acoustics, fun atmosphere, balloon drop at midnight.. A good time. I went to walk down into the "pit" where people are able to dance, in front of the stage area. The first step was visible, the second, not so much, very dark, no signage, not lit at all down below, and I fell, resulting in a bad sprain, an air cast and crutches. Except for a few stage lights Its a very dark room, that for safety purposes, could have been lighted, and rather inexpensively at that. Being fully sobor, I simply did not see the second step, and fell foward, I was seen by a medic about an hour after the accident. The ower/manager was simply trying to get rid of me, telling the police in the report, that "A girl will not leave" Leaving out the bit that I was unable to walk, and any movement at all, was causing me great pain. I would never go back, they put on a good show, but seem extremely unprofessional in other ways. The safety of those within the walls of the business, should be their very first concern, and it is, in my experience very low on their list. Please watch your step if you go to a show at night. I saw one other girl trip and fall, and it was noted afterwords by other "regulars" that its not uncommon for people to trip on that step. Lots of room for improvement. Also, it is "Rusty nail bar and grill" Which suggests to me that food is available. When I inquired about food earlier in the night, the female bartender was extremely rude in her responce, (Again, not the most professional establishment) Apparently it has been quite some time since they have offered food, no further explanation was given, but if I had to guess, the chef likely quit and has not been replaced. Pita chips and Hummus are as far as you will get here. Eat before hand, and be careful on that step!!

Drink here, but DO NOT EAT here. We waited two hours for overpriced, ice cold, terrible food. The Grazing Menu was absolutely pathetic. The pork and beans was only a skidmark of beans, dried pork, half a dried old corn bread muffin and a side of chopped onion they called "coleslaw". The Black and Blue burger had no blue. Save your money and time and go to McDonalds. At least there were a lot of beer choices to get us through the night and the hostess was a sweetie.

I was told by bartenders and patrons that because I was not a local, I would have to wait for service. I ended up waiting 35 minutes to order one (1) drink! I guess they have a problem with out of towners.The funny thing is, I only live 30 miles away! I would not recommend this as a fun spot to any of my friends or family.

Great food. Great service. Waiters and waitresses are very nice. We came from out-of-town, knowing that this is a local-centered place. We were received very well! Everything on the menu is imported locally, which is great. Will definitely be back here on our next Stowe trip!

Wonderful music venue. We caught Chris Robinson Brotherhood here over the summer and had a blast. Good sound and good people. It has the feeling of a roadhouse and plenty of space to get down. Im so glad to have a venue like this nearby! Thank you!

Dante Guerra

Big dance floor. Its owned and operated by the people that own Nectars in Burlington, so they always have interesting live music. The dance floor is pretty big, and the upstairs room with pool tables is also a plus.

Good place for live music and drinks with friends. They do a good job of bringing in different talent
