About Three Needs
Three Needs is a tap room and pizza cube on Pearl Street in Burlington. Its website says Glenn Walter opened it in 1995 as Burlington's first exclusive craft beer bar, after six years as head brewer at The Vermont Pub & Brewery. It moved to its current spot in 2012.
The beer list leans local. Google describes a chill bar with local microbrews on tap and a local crowd on weekends. The Pizza Cube serves New Jersey boardwalk style slices, a nod to Glenn's youth.
Pool is a big part of the place. The website says the pool tables are meticulously maintained and calls them the best in the area. A large outdoor courtyard has cushioned couches and lounge chairs, and the bar makes house-infused liquors and craft cocktails.
