Hopped by after happy hour margaritas & tacos across the street. This spot was an awesome no-frills bar. They’ve got a private room in the back, two pool tables. Juke box, pull tabs, tv on for football games (the lions were playing so I was tuned in). Beer on draft and also cans. Bartender was easy-going. The only pic I took was in the bathroom stall, haha. There’s a male bathroom and a female bathroom.

Stop asking if you should go, just do it. Excellent ambiance and customer service. A great place to go to watch the Packers. Bartender Bill and Karington are Amazing!!! You won't be disappointed.

One of my favorite bars. Been going there for years now. It's a bar so there's not much for food. There's places to eat right next door. They have pizza and chips and maybe a couple more things.

My favorite dive bar in Madison! Very chill, very pleasant bartenders, and a back patio for the smoking crowd ?
