50 Best Bars near Fitchburg

“The service here is really good. I've been coming here Saturday nights for the prime rib, and I am always satisfied. The staff is so friendly and quick, and always treat me like one of their good friends. It hasn't been too busy when we come here, so that has been nice too!“

“We had our server forget our cheese curds last night. Brought our food out and I mentioned it to her. She immediately apologized and I told her no worries! To my surprise she comp'd the curds even though I hadnt complained. Now THATS service. Impressed with the service, food and tunes. I had the Flying Hound Burger and the only issue was my egg wasnt as runny as I would have liked but guess what? SHIT HAPPENS. Still enjoyed it! :)“

“I can’t wait to go back the next time I’m in Madison and share how amazing this restaurant is with other people. Came with a friend for her birthday and our server Ronan was just the best! All of the appetizers we shared were amazing, as was my friend’s pork entree. Unfortunately I didn’t care for the pasta dish. It had no flavor/salt and the texture was too thick. My friends tried it too and agreed so I just didn’t eat it and shared with my friend. After our plates were cleared the GM Emily came over because she noticed my food was not eaten. I told her about the pasta and she handled everything beautifully. Afterwards we sat at the bar for martinis and the bartender Veronica (or Victoria sorry) was amazing as well. Halfway through my martini she replaced the glass with a fresh chilled one and added more olives 😄 if that’s not impressive, I don’t know what is. At the end of the day, service can absolutely be more important than the food, and this restaurant is a shining example of some of the best service I’ve had in any restaurant.“

“I hosted my wife’s 40th birthday here and it was a fantastic experience! The game selection is awesome, the service was friendly, & the atmosphere was enjoyable for the adults and children. We will definitely be back & so will our guests.“

“I love the Mason, been going there for years. Love how basically nothing has changed, always great beer on tap, liquor selection and you have the option to order food from Falbos and enjoy it with an amazing beer that has been carefully catered. Everytime I have a chance to go out and enjoy a relaxing and refreshing experience I go to the Mason, shout out to Matt!“

“This place is a true hidden gem! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but walking in - holy cow! Give your eyes a moment to adjust because it is very dark, which makes it hard to see the tigers, and there are tigers everywhere! I had a few beers and got great friendly service from Alyssa and Teddy - awesome bartenders! I saw them make a few fancy drinks that looked delicious, but I had to head out. If you are looking for a bar that is unique, this is a MUST STOP!“

“I’m perpetually impressed with the quality of food at Dextie’s. The staff is like family. Incredibly professional, personable, and friendly.“

“third generation family business“

“A classic Madison watering hole with yummy tacos! Some of the standards but I always prefer their more interesting concoctions, like a recent curry chicken taco w/amazing mango chutney!
It's on a side street, so the sidewalk patio is relatively quiet & gets nice shade in the afternoon.
I don't actually drink booze, so cannot comment on that aspect. 😋“

“Plaza burgers are the best! The plaza sauce and the pickles are what make them so tasty! A downtown Madison must stop.“

“We've been coming here for 3 years in the summer. We know Donna, Draves, and Aaron the best. They all rock! We came in past our normal time on a Thursday nite...Aaron was working . That kid has it going on! He's personable, hard working and not bad in the eyes! Lol! Always makes us feel welcome! He should get a kudos for effort and personality! Everyone loves him, including us!“

“One of my favorites, Pitcher's Pub has been a great neighborhood bar and Madison staple for decades. It has a ton of TVs which makes it great for watching sports. It's a large place, so you have room to spread out or meet a group without worry. The staff is very friendly and lots of fun. Known for their signature drink the Swamp Water, plus a ton of dart boards, foosball tables and pool tables! The food is quite good and they often feature daily specials. We usually get the cheese curds as they are excellent but recently discovered their chicken wings are outstanding! Trivia on Fridays and dart and pool leagues throughout the year. You can't miss. Great place to relax and watch the game or play some yourself.“

“it was great😎 i just love relax on this place“

“Amazing cocktails in a perfect location! Lori went above and beyond to help me host a surprise birthday party and even bartended the event herself. She is so knowledgeable and so much fun to be around! Do not miss My Tipsy Gypsy on your next trip to Paoli!“

“College visit with the daughter and we dined here with friends on Saturday 28th Sept and being originally from the UK, and seeing the fish and chips were haddock (not cod) I immediately had to have them and they were the best fish and chips this side of the “pond” having put up with 12 years of “just ok” fish and chips, these were amazing. Not only were the fish and chips good, but every dish was a winner. I am now praying my daughter gets into the college as I will be a regular here.“

“Great atmosphere, Amazing food, and John & Cindy & Family are breath of fresh air in a corporate world these days!! Highly Recommend!“

“Staff were super friendly. Food was very very good. Trivia night was fun. Enjoyed atmosphere. Owners are doing it right. Will be back next time in town.“

“One of my Madison faves!!!“

“Vibes was good and the bartender/owner(?) was super personable and knowledgeable!
I tried their Married with Children drink (a new drink) and it was very refreshing. There is also an upstairs that you can reserve for private events.
I can see myself hanging out here with my friends and having a fun chat! Definitely check this place out!“

“! Not a big menu but the burgers were Great!1st time there! We would eat there again“

“Be cognizant of what you order. You can still get regular mixers and beers for a reasonable price (pshhh they even have deals sometimes). The food is actually very good, just pricey for what it is, but it's a frickin' movie theater what do you want?Treat it like you would any bar and tip well. These guys work hard. :)

Parking: Lots of.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Awesome, historic place! Steve-O = Great Bar Keep!!!👍“

“if you google "dive bars" they won't help you. let me help you. Connie's is the almost-perfecr dive bar. Simple, clean, rustic, friendly place to have a beer and shake some dice. So glad I found this place on my travels.“

“It’s an amazing place to celebrate.“

“Plaza burgers are the best! The plaza sauce and the pickles are what make them so tasty! A downtown Madison must stop.“
