Summary
Vermont’s bars and clubs are shutting down under the crushing weight of skyrocketing liquor liability insurance—Radio Bean in Burlington is just one casualty blaming the insane premiums.

State officials admit courts may be needed to truly assess if the reforms worked, while nightlife hubs feel the sting hardest.
