Essex, despite being the second largest municipality in Vermont, isn't a nightlife hotspot. There isn't even a coffeeshop aside from Dunkin Donuts. Most people looking for a drink or a night out will head into Burlington.

That being said, Essex does have a few cafes. However and they are not quite like those in Burlington. The presence of IBM and the transition to a bedroom community for office workers has transformed Essex into a town of suburban yuppies, but it wasn't always that way and the old rural/blue collar Essex still exists. Unlike Burlington, most bars won't have an extensive list of microbrews, tasteful decorations, or rowdy college students. What you will find are affordable American lagers, dingy bar rooms, darts, pool, and sometimes karaoke. Thit is Northern Vermont, so you will always be able to find a Switchback if you don't like PBR and Rolling Rock.
