Food and drinks here are pretty typical of most places on state street and nothing that stands out above the rest. The best part is that once you pregame here you can enter the piano bar (ivory room) for free instead of paying the cover. It's a frequent stop for us on nights out for that reason alone. A shotski is also a good experience to keep the night going.
Stopped in here recently before seeing a Saturday night show at the Overture. We only had drinks, service was friendly and fast. The main reason we stopped in was the giant fireplace—it was rainy and this was the perfect place to warm up!
Great beer selections, decent food selections (fewer food choices than beer choices, which isn't a bad thing), nice, warm atmosphere (love the wooden interior and fireplace). Weaker points are the slow service and the too-quiet jukebox. Nicely located near UW and the capital.
