We are sooooo freaking excited to share the tastes and sounds of SAM'S LISTENING BAR with you all in the heart of downtown St. Johnsbury!
What is a 'listening bar', you may ask?
A space where music brings people together while enjoying mindful bevvies and snacks. We have been collecting records and cassettes for most of our lives, and now we get to share our love for music, cocktails and community with you!
CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT
Our menus change weekly. At Sam's, we want to encourage you open your mind to new things. Life is unpredictable and short. This is what enriches life- diversity and experience are what make life's adventures fresh and exciting! We want to enjoy this gift of life with you!
SAM'S is open Thursday though Monday from 6pm til midnight, except on Thursdays and Mondays where if it is slow, we will close early! Plan accordingly, have a designated driver and come early! Last call on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays is at 11:30!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Outside food from all of St Johnsbury's amazing local restaurants such as THE BUTTERY, WHIRLIGIG, and JAVIER BILL'S, IS COMPLETELY ALLOWED IN OUR BAR, and in fact we encourage you to bring food from other businesses into Sam's to enjoy with our amazing cocktails! We are a cocktail lounge / listening room first, and even though we offer amazing bar snacks, we want to make sure folks are well fed while they responsibly enjoy our drinks and environment AND are able to support the many other great businesses of St Johnsbury.
Keep your eyes and ears peeled on this website or our social media accounts for updates!!!
We were written up in the June 18th food issue of SEVEN DAYS VT!
