36 Best Bars near Madison

“We are from out of town and were looking for dinner. I checked out the menu online and liked the choices I saw. We were unsure as we had our kids with us though. We decided to stop in and met with staff who told us that “well-behaved” children are welcomed which is definitely not our children. 😘 But we decided to risk it and the kids behaved and had a blast! This was partially due to a kid friendly menu (my youngest loved the cheezits) and the delicious assortment of cakes offered at dessert. The main reason they had a great time and were well-behaved is the server, Antonio. He was engaging, friendly and helpful. My husband loved the whiskey and bourbon choices (there are three pages of options on the menu)! The pork tacos were to die for and the cornbread is mouthwatering. The kids enjoyed the chocolate cake with cookie dough layers and my teenager and husband enjoyed the carrot cake. My youngest wants to give ten stars but Facebook won’t allow it. We wish we lived in the area so we can come back. When we go to Space Camp we’ll have to stop back.“

“My dog Ollivander has absolutely loved visiting Rocket City Dog Bar the couple times we have went. The staff is so friendly and attentive in the park and the warehouse to ensure both the fur babies and their humans are having a good and safe time. If you live in or near Huntsville and need a new favorite bar, I highly recommend you come with (or without if you don’t have a pet!) your dog and check them out.“

“One of the best Rueben sandwiches I have ever eaten.“

“Absolutely love Fat Tuesdays. The only complaint about the Fat Tuesday's in Huntsville is it was lacking on flavors. I've been to other Fat Tuesday's and they all seemed to have more options/flavors. But will definitely be returning when visiting Huntsville.“

“Really enjoyed checking you out. Met someone who's friends of the owner and when he told us he was from Eunice, I knew it would be good, and it was. Enjoyed the crawfish etoufee and cajun corn. Hubby got the shrimp poboy but us Louisiana folks miss the poboys with so much shrimp it falls everywhere and hoped you had it as well. We'd definitely come back.“

“It was fine. Not overly attentive or chatty service (would have been nice to get some color commentary on the cocktail menu but got vague responses of “it’s good”) but I liked the drink I got. Awkward seating options inside with a banquet under a large tv so you could easily look at it.“

“There is something for everyone here: breweries, restaurants, pool tables, local art galleries, a tattoo parlor, an axe throwing range, and even a concert venue. The nightlife only enhances the atmosphere. Appeals to adults from all walks of life.“

“The smell of bleach was beautiful to my sense of smell. It’s so clean and beautiful that I have been just relaxing.“

“5 stars, Great bands, great selection of food and drink, great crowd, great people, the owners care very much, Great bar, highly recommended ��“

“LaCresia was a great hostess, Food was amazing, service was great. Would definitely recommend Mississippi Pot Roast 💯 Bread Pudding 💯“

“Giving all the stars I possibly can. After having some sort of an allergic reaction while visiting, Shannon, our server was quick to action to get all the ingredients lists and the necessary people to help. Lane and Maddy, the managers, made sure I was well taken care of and Brielle took the time to help getting the ingredient lists as well. The service was out of this world and I am grateful they were quick to action.“

“We read the reviews (not great), but decided to try it anyway. Dory (Hostess) was Super Friendly, Natalie (server), Very Upbeat, answered all our questions about the menu and never let our glasses run dry.
Although, all we ate were their nachos and wings, I would Highly recommend them. We asked for the wings to be Extra Crispy and they were Perfect. We are from Buffalo, NY-so Yes we know wings.
We will Definitely be back.
Thank You“

“Always great food and great service!“

“We come here often and the food is always good and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The tacos are very tasty and reasonably priced for their portion size. We recommend the nachos as they're very tasty and well done. The 3 taco combo is also a good choice as you get a lot of food for a good price. Would recommend trying.“

“this is my favorite swinger spot. all the couples are friendly.“

“We had a great day today but I give a hats off to Dave and Busters in Huntsville .. we always have trouble being "them people" making special requests... but if you know me you know Lucas's food allergies and what we have been through ... not many understand but Dave and Buster's made sure his food was covered until it was in front of him because they heard he had a food allergy.... omg this is the first time I have seen a restaurant do this and I was so grateful... they are the best and I am so thankful that a corporation like this recognizes the importance of keeping our children safe ... and the manager was the one to bring our food out which tasted awesome and waitress was great we willl definitely be back“

“Still a reliable tapas n drink lounge pre or post movie..
did the sexy ban sushi n pepperoni flatbread apps both great! They had Kentucky bourbon ale on tap which paired well! Service was excellent. Not crowded at 4 pm on a Monday but filling up by 5 pm. Great way to complete a matinee show ! Would be even better if there were happy hour drink specials.

Parking: Gobs of free parking“

“I’ve always enjoyed the other location, but it was my first time to try this one. It was delicious! I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries. The sandwich was loaded with lots of meat, cheese, onions, mushrooms, and jalapeños. The fries were equally delicious. There was enough food to take home leftovers. Our server. Nicole, was friendly and very attentive.“
