THE VENETIAN

SODA LOUNGE

JERKED SODAS | SPECIALTY COCKTAILS | SHAKES | FLOATS | MUDSLIDES | FRANKS & SAUSAGES

Swing by the Soda Lounge, located in the Soda Plant on Pine Street in Burlington, Vermont's South End Art District. Experience a tribute to 1920s Burlington and a flavor inventor's laboratory fueled by the history of my family's historic Venetian Ginger Ale! Lost to history during WWII, Venetian Ginger Ale was brought back to life in 2017.

During the day, we are a family-friendly soda fountain and creemee stand, and by night, we transform into a roaring twenties speakeasy! Day or night, I invite you to my lifelong dream of entertaining guests with new craft sodas, fresh-squeezed fruit seltzers, specialty cocktails, mocktails, food, and a variety of performances.

Come lounge with friends, family, or both, and experience our state-of-the-art audio and visual system featuring a wide variety of local and regional performances.

OLD FASHIONED

JERKED

SODAS

Just like the old soda fountains of the early 1920s and 1930s, we make our "jerked" sodas with our all-natural syrups, and they're carbonated right in front of you. Simply pick out the flavor you want, and we'll jerk it for you.
