Who DOESN’T love Paradise- what’s your favorite Paradise over the years!
I bet no matter what is that you might choose there was also a favorite island Bar there!
OK, maybe this year you can’t go to some far away fabulous paradise Island but that’s OK because look right here in Madison is the next best thing!
The Paradise Lounge is an absolute great dive bar. That is just wonderful great bartenders - and inviting atmosphere and great conversation

10/10 recommend if you're looking for a chill spot to unwind and hang with some pretty amazing locals. We're visiting from Panama City, FL for Canoecopia and absolutely loved the time we spent at The Paradise Lounge. Steve was not only a great bartender, he really made us feel at home. Midwestern charm at its finest! He also gave us lots of great recommendations to keep us busy during the downtime on our trip. We'll definitely be stopping back in before we head home.

Wisconsin is the best state for tavern culture. Madison is the capital. And.... the dice is best dive bar in the capital of tavern culture. What else do I need to say. Food till bar time. Pool, darts, and FOOSEBALL! The block it's on is also probably the best overall block for bars. Paradise, Jenna's, shamrock, tornado, and the gamma ray. Dive bar, hipster bar, gay bar, steak house, and concert/karaoke venue. All within 50 yards. Best bar block in the state.

This is the best place for lemon drops and wings, been coming here for over 10 years always good vibes. Taylor has so much personality you’ll enjoy watching him do him. Devon makes the best lemon drops and takes care of her customers love her. Ean is on the grill no complaints. Thank you all for making my every visit for over Ten years just what I needed in in the moment.

I like this place and the food is great . They were once known to be the only bar that cooked food until bar close in the Madison downtown area. However, I was notified by the bartender/manager that they stop serving food at 1am now, so unfortunately that unique quality has ended. So if you're looking to grab a bite at the end of the night this place isn't ideal anymore unfortunately. However, the bartender recommended to check out McDonalds since they're still open at bar close which I found very generous of him.

Gritty dive bar serving up classic bar food and brings up Kafkaesque vibes erstwhile the libations suggest the fist of the demiurge.

Don't have the Friday fish here. I tried the stab it with a knife trick and the hard shell coating made it slide around the plate.
This is a classic dive bar, a refreshing trip to the past for this jaded gen xer who grew up frequenting similar establishments in the 1980s and 90s in Madison , very welcoming diverse crowd, nice to see younger people appreciating the ambiance and the reasonably priced drinks. Staff was very
