7 Best Pubs near Madison

“I am a retired Marine so I know bars (LOL), this place is great. Burger was huge and I just looked at the bartender as I was getting where I wanted another beer and she was on it. The bartenders changed out and the on coming bartender never missed a beat. Good food great service, you can't go wrong.“

“Had a great time here with friends!!! Nice homie bar vibe. Fun and friendly locals and delicious food! Wings are absolutely top notch. Bartenders are very cool. Why feel awkward in catacombs or elixir when you can chill with your friends, get a buzz, eat food and smoke cigarettes. 10/10. We bought several drinks and several rounds for a party of six. A round for the table next to us (they bought us shots) we came out with a 200 dollar tab. That’s what we would normally spend at catacombs with no food, no smoking, a time limit and the pressure of acting a certain way. If you’re looking to have a good time versus a special experience. This place is great. Will be returning!“

“This is the perfect place to wind down after work or on a day off. It’s great for meet-ups (there’s already been multiple book clubs, estate planning groups, young professionals gatherings, etc). The new owner (Lauren) is also incredibly passionate about supporting the community and has been involved in several charity events. The beer and wine selection is constantly growing.“

“Jason and his staff are some of the hardest working folks I’ve seen in the industry. They are proud of their restaurant, particular about the quality of their product, and always striving to meet their own highest standards. Such a wonderful, clean, welcoming restaurant and bar with amazing food and one of the best beer selections in town!“

“You would drive right past, if you didn’t know it was here. But, OMG……STOP AND GO IN! The selection is SECOND TO NONE! Great food and service! Please…..make time to come check it out!“

“One of the best run bars in town! Great food options that cater to not only the Irish tradition, but good quality bar food options outside of that! Amazing events happening about every week!:) also very much a safe space . Would highly recommend .“

“National, Chef Michael Northern makes this little hidden gem a fantastic place the visit. Everyone in the world should visit this place. The food is out of this world and the atmosphere is fun, inviting, and relaxing all at the same time. EVERYTHING is made from scratch, down to the bread and ceasar dressing! We did not have one single thing we did not love!! Wow, I want to shout to the rooftops for everyone to visit here!! GO, run 🏃‍♀️ now..“
