Have you ever stumbled upon something completely up your alley, which has been available to you for some time, and yet you were completely ignorant of it? Yeah, me too - and it's like a stellar gift when you realize, right?
A friend of mine clued me in just a couple months ago, and I finally got to Attleboro to partake of the goodness. After receiving their liquor license in first quarter of 2022, it sounds like Burgundian really began to shine, and they certainly seem strongly in stride today.
The feeling this isn't an average bar-cafe starts outside - the facade is a kind of Euro-merican pastiche, welcoming right away, just a stone's throw from the Attleboro train station. You're greeted by friendly, knowledgeable staff who are into what they're doing - want to select a coffee or tea option? Plenty there on the board, and fresh specials they'll tell you about, to boot. Interested in their fine beer selection? Each staff member had their own "Beer Nerd" flight selection to try what spoke to them from the menu.
I went with friends for some drinks and food, so we made our own fun - but they're hosting events here I'm eager to try. Many are centered on something beer-culture in the coming month (Belgian National Day today as I type). Additionally, I was stoked that instead of relegating a trivia night to Tuesdays, when many of us try to give our dear, stalwart livers a break, Burgundian does trivia Thursday nights...when we're starting to think about priming the pump again - outstanding! Speaking of food, my friends and I had pretzels, the Seoul Mate (LiÈge-style) Waffle, fried chicken & waffle, and doner kebab...each excellent, and there's a surfeit of other stuff I'll try when I return.
And return, I shall - this is a great spot with a combination of cool niche offering, events to get people in the door, an enticing menu once they're in, and friendly people to tie the spot together. I was late in finding it, but I won't be a stranger, for now I AM A BURGUNDIAN! Highest recommendation.
