16 Best Sports Bars in Madison

“Went on a Wednesday afternoon, since I was on campus for work that day and wanted to try something new. They had the special of buffalo chicken wrap, grilled or crispy. It was SO good. I’ve been thinking of it since 😂! The had generous amounts of chicken on it, which is always nice. The service was excellent too. Definitely will be going back when I’m on campus again. 😋“

“I was at my first Forward game tonight and it got delayed/canceled. A vast majority of us went to LJ’s and the bartender (I apologize for not getting his name) was absolutely amazing. He made an announcement to acknowledge everyone and to let them know it was unexpected and staff would be doing their best. Not only was he professional, he managed to maintain a great attitude. The whole staff did well but the main bartender absolutely nailed it tonight.“

“So warm n friendly. Love our zumba classes and the hospitality afterwards“

“I have had the 'friday fish fry' specials. Delicious food, super nice staff, very affordable. Easy access for wheelchairs. This bar/restaurant is quiet with easy access by bus or auto, huge parking lot. My usual meal is about $10, so the prices are very community friendly!“

“I like to review places so here I go! It's a good to watch football and have food during the Badger and Packers games. Nice owner and I did get to meet him during these events. There is a nice section outside to light up a smoke and hear the games but I would at least upgrade the area so there is a TV patched in. Might be nice in the summer though. They have good prices on beer and booze. It is a nice to to stop in and hang out for a bit. Nice people there too.Here is some of the things that do need to be improved:Bathrooms are small but I guess you can just go out back and let her fly from what I was told while being there. lol Sometimes the music is loud in the bar that you can't hear the person next to you. I would definitely change the speaker locations. Maybe a Bose system and put the MTX's out in the smoking area. I know there isn't a kitchen but maybe a hot dog roller like the gas stations have would be nice and cheap. I do like the place but maybe in time these things will improve. So go and check it out and have fun!“

“Small venue but great band line ups for pop rock music and country(my least favorite genre) so there’s something for everyone. I go here when the theme is old school 80’s and 90’s music. There’s a bar and dance floor by the stage. Entrance fees are reasonable. Looking forward to stopping in again next month!“

“Really awesome IPA selection!“

“friendly people we had a great time there“

“We Decided to try today while out on a motorcycle ride. We Arrived and walked in and were immediately greeted by staff. The atmosphere was nice and friendly. The staff was friendly. We ordered our drinks and food. We got the Prime Rib Sandwich with onion rings and the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with fries. Both of the sandwiches were amazing. Very tasty and juicy upon first bite to the Last bite with the right amount of meat and vegetables/mushrooms with it. The fries were just right...not to crispy. The onion rings were a tad overdone and really crispy. Overall the food and drinks were 10/10. We will be back.“
