The Dickens
Share
Now, let's gab about the grub. Our menu offers a tempting blend of classic British pub favourites and modern delights. Need to wet your whistle? No Problem!
Located in Village Square The Dickens Pub is one of Downtown Burlington's most famous establishments serving up incredible Pub Fare, Live Entertainment, a heated patio and more! Step into The Dickens, Burlington’s favourite British pub nestled in the heart of Village Square, where the charm of yesteryear meets the mischievous spirit of today. Housed in a gloriously restored 1800s heritage building, our iconic pub defies the ordinary, radiating a playful charm that would make Charles Dickens himself raise an eyebrow. We're not ones for bragging, but we're certain you'll find something to please your taste buds for lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch. We've got 16 beers on tap to quench your thirst, plus a selection of good, honest cocktails to keep your spirits high and your inhibitions low. As Burlington's most infamous spot for music and nightlife, The Dickens is open till 2am daily and has a well-earned reputation for raising the roof. We've got the city's biggest karaoke party on Thursdays – you know, for when you're feeling like a rockstar – and live music every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to keep your toes tapping and your soul grooving. So come on down to The Dickens. Raise a pint, share a laugh, swap a tale, and make some memories in the most delightfully unexpected British pub this side of the pond.

Consider this your proof that Burlington doesn't call it a night early. 🍻 Packed rooms, drinks in hand, friends finding each other in the crowd, and nights that somehow keep getting better as they go. This is what after dark looks like at The Dickens.
We're open late in downtown Burlington. See you this weekend.
