Lounges in Madison, WI

“No better place to have a bells and a cigar“

“I love this restaurant when visiting Madison. My most recent visit I had the rigatoni vodka pasta which I really enjoyed. Taylor was our waitress and she was awesome! She was very attentive, checked on us throughout the meal, and truly made our visit a lot of fun! She is so personable and we loved our conversation with her. If you get the chance to have Taylor as your waitress, take it. She is worth asking for!!“

“Our reception had the perfect setting at Garver. So spacious and flexible in design that every one of our ideas was doable. The staff were so creative and attentive to whatever I wanted. It can be so overwhelming trying to deside but Danelle was so good at helping to nail down our vision and make suggestions that enhanced our vision. Thank you for making this reception a party no one will soon forget. A magical night.“

“Loved the atmosphere. Seat yourself. Amazing Cajun Cod, thanks for the recommendation Angel! Looking forward to visiting again!“

“This is a hidden gem on Madison campus with a beautiful view overlooking the lake. The food is tasty, portions are generous, and prices are very affordable for students. A perfect spot to relax, enjoy good food, and take in the scenery.
Parking is difficult on school days so prepare yourself to walk or plan where to park before going in here.“

“Genna’s is awesome! Chuck Mangione all day!“

“I love the Mason, been going there for years. Love how basically nothing has changed, always great beer on tap, liquor selection and you have the option to order food from Falbos and enjoy it with an amazing beer that has been carefully catered. Everytime I have a chance to go out and enjoy a relaxing and refreshing experience I go to the Mason, shout out to Matt!“

“Been to cask and ale multiple times over the past few years. Great atmosphere, great bartender with knowledge, and good vibes! Would reccomendation to have your unicorn pour“

“Tiger roll, butterfish roll, these are the must try!“

“It was easy to reserve a table through Open Table but we missed the part about needing a $5 day pass which you need to get on another app. Then download GrubHub to order food and drinks. The staff were so friendly. But we were seated in a corner with no view by a rat trap. That was disappointing. The food is football food. Not the best but I guess expected. The really nice thing was not the usual terrace crowds. Picture of our view. And yes, there were other tables open.“

“This was a great experience during restaurant week. The food was so good - my main dish was ahi tuna, but all 5 of us enjoyed our 3 course meals. The waitresses were very kind and the meal came quickly. It was a very quiet space for being so expansive.“

“Great food! Stopped after a college tour. Friendly staff!“

“Stiff drinks and a loose time“

“Be cognizant of what you order. You can still get regular mixers and beers for a reasonable price (pshhh they even have deals sometimes). The food is actually very good, just pricey for what it is, but it's a frickin' movie theater what do you want?Treat it like you would any bar and tip well. These guys work hard. :)

Parking: Lots of.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Nice little local spot, great fit for Madison.
I can't believe I've never wandered in here before, it's a fun little bar. If I went out more I could see it being a regular hangout spot. Not sure if we were sitting under a speaker or the volume was a bit high, but slightly louder than my tastes, then again I do like a quieter setting overall so that that how you will.“

“The food and environment is fantastic!“

“After months battlin’ monstrous waves and outrunnin’ the devil’s own storms, I steered me mighty ship into the harbor of Madison, seekin’ refuge… and perhaps a bite that wouldn’t bite back😏. That’s when I heard whispers on the wind of a place called “City Bar” offerin’ oysters for a mere dollar each. A trick, I thought. Or sorcery!
But by the beard of Neptune, it was no lie.
I staggered in, sea-worn and salt-crusted, and what did I find? A bounty of glistening oysters laid out like pearls from a mermaid’s hoard. Each one fresh as the morning tide, briny and bold, slippin’ down the hatch smoother than a calm sea at sunrise. I devoured ‘em by the dozen, like a man who’d not seen shore in years. My belly was blundered with beer and oysters! The crew behind the bar? A lively bunch, quick with a pour. They showed no haste as I slobbered down about 50! Now this right here… this is the treasure I’ve been searching for!“

“Chloe was the sweetest bar tender we've ever had. She provided excellent customer service - she truly made our night!“
