Three Needs Brewery & Taproom — When it comes to nightspots for pool, Three Needs Brewery & Taproom is running the table. For the fourth consecutive year, Seven Days readers have voted the popular Burlington watering hole the top location for bank shots and scratching the eight ball. Long wait to get your hustle on? Bide your time on the nearby foosball table. Or grab one of the beers — derived from the owner’s recipe archive and brewed across town at Queen City Brewery — and a slice of the secretly great pizza and chill on the spacious back deck until your name comes up. Bring your A game, though: The competition is always fierce.
