A long-standing landmark on Main Street in Burlington, Nectar’s restaurant and bar has been the headquarters for thousands of local (and not-so local) music acts. From Phish to Led Loco, from reggae to rock, Nectar’s Bar and Lounge is THE place to see live music in downtown Burlington.
Nectar’s little piece of American culture still gets regular state and national recognition. Just check out these articles—all from 2003—to see what we’re talking about.

The
building itself has a long history of entertaining. Originally a savings and
loan, the building was purchased to create a two-story restaurant/lounge called
the Hi-Hat. The chandelier that hangs over the main room today is a relic of
the grand Hi-Hat. In 1975, Nectar Rorris bought the building to create the infamous
Nectar’s. The stage became legendary when a group of then-unknown local
musicians known as Phish began to play regularly, sowing the seeds of their
enormous following. Since then, the room has become Burlington’s preeminent
live music lounge, and the home of what have got to be the world’s best
gravy fries.
