Badger Tavern Reviews
Amazing fish tacos today!!
Badger Tavern has really stepped up its game under the new ownership. Clay has perhaps the best work ethic I’ve ever witnessed. The food is consistently excellent, and you’re guaranteed a good time every time. The staff is stellar too, fun, friendly, and hardworking. Badger Tavern is now my go-to place for a ‘sure thing’! 5 Stars
Great drinks, great service, food was solid for a local neighborhood bar. Happened to come in on a busy night due to a UW volleyball game and sat next to the owners family (side note, guy looks like he could be Chris Farley's little brother). Great people, great staff. I'll definitely come back on my next business trip to Madison.

Badger Tavern is a neighborhood bar and restaurant with a cozy patio and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly, prompt, and provides good service. The food menu offers a variety of options, including the popular Friday Fish Fry served 7 days a week, featuring battered cod, grilled shrimp, and delicious sides like potato salad, coleslaw, and perfect onion rings. The cheese curds are fresh and flavorful, and the patty melt and shrimp platter are highly enjoyed. The establishment has plenty of seating at the bar, high tops, and booths, making it a great place to enjoy a cocktail and tasty food. There is a small parking lot, but street parking can be needed when busy. Despite its small outside appearance, inside offers a good amount of seating, and the lively atmosphere makes it a favorite spot for locals.
