About The Lazy Goat Tavern
At The Lazy Goat Tavern, we invite families, travelers, and locals alike to gather and savor the best of Vermont. Our seasonal dishes celebrate the freshest ingredients from nearby farms, thoughtfully crafted by Chef Gregory Lang, NECI ‘89. Whether you're craving a hearty breakfast, a three-course dinner, or a decadent dessert, each bite delivers the rustic flavors that Vermont is known for.
Here, we believe in more than just great food. Our cozy tavern is a hub for community, where you can admire local art on the walls and enjoy live music from talented Vermont musicians. Take in the rich history of The Essex Resort & Spa, the only four-season culinary resort in Chittenden County, and become part of our story.
At The Lazy Goat Tavern, we embrace a spirit of warmth, camaraderie, and a touch of whimsy. Though goats may be playful and social, they are also hard workers, just like the farmers who inspire our name. After a long day, even the busiest farmer might be teased as a “lazy goat” for enjoying a well-earned rest.
So, stay awhile, soak up the welcoming atmosphere, and connect with new friends and old. The Lazy Goat Tavern isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to belong.
3o Taps
Pair your meal with a brew from our perfectly currated local craft beers and cider, including our very own Lazy Goat Ale and Lazy Goat Cider. We feature Vermont favorites such as Queen City, Fiddlehead, Long Trail, Switchback and Zero Gravity. As one keg runs dry, another highly-rated brew is ready to take its place. Sip and enjoy here at The Tavern.
