Good beer selection, classic dive bar atmosphere. We came for the burgers which were highly recommended. Unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed. They’re nothing special. The bar tender was nice, but she was the only one working and service was slow. They have a great tap list.
Winslow and ruth are simply exceptional in their ability to provide the most consistent and high-touch custome services you could ever expect from a “dive bar”. The fact that they than can do this regardless of how many people are present is even more impressive. Long story short, the Caribou Tavern is an institution in Madison, and I dare anyone to say otherwise.
P.S. Their burgers are delicious, so you should give it a try.

This is the ultimate in Wisconsin's local neighborhood tavern. The service was spectacular. The bartender was top notch, with over 25 years experience running the show, ans was very attentive to everyone in the place. The selections of sauces for the food was extensive, and all were very flavorful, particularly the mango habeñero sauce.
