We stopped her both before and after a football game a few weeks ago. It's a great place with a great mix of drinks for everyone's preferences. If one of their on-tap brews don't interest you they also have a reach-in cooler to grab a can of something, including thc infused drinks. Great atmosphere.

Love Garth's. I just wish it was open later. Even 1 more hour. Being a beer spot that closes at 9 PM I almost feels like 1920's Prohibition. 😂 A few spots down the street are open later and I usually bounce over there at close. Bartenders and beer selection super awesome. Very friendly patrons too.

Nice bar and atmosphere. Lots of board games to play as well. We got a couple of drinks after chatting with the bartender and deciding what we wanted and doing a couple of tastings. Then we took our drinks outside and enjoyed the small but comfortable outdoor space. It was a great choice on a Saturday evening and wasn't too busy at all. They do have a few snacks as well but definitely wouldn't consider this a place to get a meal.

Had a wonderful time at Garth's Brew Bar with great service, nice atmosphere and excellent selection of anything-but-ordinary beer. Tim the beertender was helpful, knowledgeable and shared specific information with us that made it a more personalized experience. Thanks Tim for a really great time!
We were a crew of Polish people and Tim brought out a beer that he thought we'd like to try from Polish hops. Really cool. It was a really nice night, loved the selection, atmosphere and service. Glad our friends introduced us and will definitely come back next time we're in town!

Another excellent choice for wide variety of interesting craft beer, including barrel aged, for most parts of the year. AND, they have a large stocked refrigerator for additional choices if those on tap don't quite suit you. Only one demerit for food, as they only offer a regular and large pretzel. The sauces are good, but DO vary from time to time. Last year one choice was Honey Mustard (From the mustard Museum), and this year's was a hot and spicy, also from the Mustard Museum. Friendly helpful staff, reasonable prices, kid friendly. Street parking, might have to walk a little during prime time. Looking forward to visiting again.

We had a really nice time at Garth's on Saturday, April 19, 2025. Very nice atmosphere, super-clean restrooms, and delicious beers on tap. Lead Bartender Tim was exceptionally friendly, and took really great care of us while we were there. From suggesting sips to toasting our giant pretzel to perfection, he really was the best. He even brought by some taste-tests while we were there visiting with our friend. Just the nicest time. Thanks, Tim!
My dad and I had a great time visiting and enjoying the good vibes of the place. First time in Madison and this was our only stop on the way to Milwaukee! We were just going to get a snack and enjoy the town, but we were having such a good we had a few drinks and stayed 3 hours. Tim was such a wonderful host providing a lot of pleasant conversation and great service! He really made the visit enjoyable. 10/10 great place to visit and hangout and enjoy the area around the stadium. We will be back!

This has become mine and my family's favorite place to stop before Badger football games. We always look forward to the rotating beers on tap and which beers we will get from the cooler to bring back to wausau. Keep up the great work!

Awesome cozy local spot to grab a beer and play a hand of cards. Great selection of unique beers (lots from the Midwest) in the cooler to take home when you’re done, including nonalcoholic options! They have fraboni’s pizza and giant pretzels to snack on and tables outside in the summer. Great place to hang!

One of my favorite places to hang out. Unbelievably good vibes, you can bring in food and games, and they have a lot of non-beer drinks available too

Great beer bar offering an extensive and rotating beer list. They offer a great selection of both tap and canned beers which are mostly local (Midwest). Relaxed atmosphere and diverse customer base. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Being a small brewery owner myself, it is great to see staff (especially Tim) take time to not only educate patrons on different beer styles, but also train new staff members as well in order to improve the customer experience. They also offer a limited food menu (pizza and pretzels). We didn't eat this time , but will give a try in the future. If your a beer lover stop in and give them a try.
