Cocktails, great dishes and live music almost every night
This is Goodnight Johnny's in Burlington.
Chef Mike crushes the menu, with favorites like
his super popular Sriracha Hot Honey Sandiwich
the Singin' Seared Maple Scallops,
his Loaded Poutine Fries and anything with his Short Ribs from nachos to the Short Rib Sandwich
I loved all their cocktails, made by super talented bartenders,
And their brunch every Saturday and Sunday makes them a must visit.

The tower was designed by Worcester architects Earle and Fisher, and cost about $15,000 to build. Bancroft Tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
