Great atmosphere, great service, amazing food. This place is awesome. Highly recommended it!!
Neat little place. Under new owner ship as of this year 2026. It has gone through some revolutions. I'm looking forward to the space being collectively open to some staples and the community being open to some newness for the establishment. Today, Saturday, I tried the Nitro Espresso Martini- this batch is good. A bit like a drunken chocolate milk with coffee. Certainly not bad and totally a great combo , this batch just has a bit more chocolate notes. Tasty.
I tried the tacos,...read full review

Ohio Tavern is a popular spot in Madison, reminiscent of an old-school dive bar. The restaurant serves mostly Mexican cuisine, with delicious dishes such as nachos, street corn, and tacos, which come in a variety of flavors. Service is generally good, with friendly and quick staff. The atmosphere is lively, with a small size that can get busy, especially during peak hours. The sidewalk patio offers a quiet space with nice shade in the afternoon. The tacos are highly praised, with favorites like the scorcher, the New Guy, and the Old Guy tacos being particularly amazing. The nachos are also a standout, described as so good that they might cause an out-of-body experience. The restaurant's margaritas on tap are still a highlight, and the overall experience is worth trying despite some minor hiccups. Ohio Tavern only accepts cash and doesn't have a phone, so visiting during off-peak times is recommended to ensure a spot. It remains a gem for its tasty tacos, lively atmosphere, and inviting patio.
