28 Best Sports Bars in Madison

“Great burger and a great staff.“

“We have been coming here for YEARS!!! The whiskey glazed ribs are my husbands FAVORITE. I love their salad with the whiskey glazed burger! (Top with coleslaw it's the best!) Janelle was out server and she was awesome. The food was hot and service was fast. The bar was quiet on a Tues afternoon and we will definitely be back.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Beautiful setup- has cigar lounge or upscale jazz club vibes. Full bar and delicious food, friendly service, and awesome simulators for golf and other sports, such as the qb challenge or hockey slap shot. Private room in the back makes for great parties or networking opportunities!“

“Really awesome IPA selection!“

“friendly people we had a great time there“

“We really liked this place and food. We felt very bad for Ginny. She was server, bartender and everything else. We went on Friday night. Come Mr. Owner only one person? Food.done.fast, very good. We had the shrimp, fries, onion rings, coleslaw, drinks, garlic bread. Just took forever for the bill. I would return.“

“I’m perpetually impressed with the quality of food at Dextie’s. The staff is like family. Incredibly professional, personable, and friendly.“

“Love this place. The food is amazing and the staff is awesome. Really good service. I have been here several times and never had a bad experience!“

“how can you go wrong, awesome menu, lovely bartenders & great cooks... I'd be surprised if you have a bad thing to say here“

“Great upper patio area. Drink prices are really reasonable.I was here for a catered event, so I can't speak to the normal food quality, but the buffet style food was pretty good. It was still a buffet, so sort of what you expect.Bartenders were great. Handled a large crowd very well“

“Excellent service and a great atmosphere“

“I had the fish fry with chili and coleslaw. The fish was by far the best part. The coleslaw and chili were ok, but not memorable. The fish was good. I would not go back just for the fish, though.It was surprisingly loud even though there was not a local game on. The pool table needed more room to play, so tables were pushed out of the way, making them unavailable to use.“

“Came here on the recommendation of our Uber driver. Great call! Great place. The staff was fantastic. Maggie and Tony were especially welcoming to us Bama boys. I can’t say enough about the hospitality shown to us. The burgers and curds were phenomenal. Not sure if I’ll ever get back to Madison, but I’ll certainly drop in again if I do!!“

“Excellent service and fish fry while watching the packer game. A true gem with great food. They also have a fantastic Reuben.“

“Fantastic job catering our company event for 75 people. Staff were hard-working and very courteous, great job! Many compliments from everyone on the food service. Everything served fresh and hot. White and red brats, burgers, fries and curds were all on the menu. Thanks again!“

“My family and I are here for my son as he got a huge surgery recently so we took our son out to eat as a “good job” meal.

I cannot thank Betty enough for the service she provided. She was the kindest soul yet. As a bartender, service is key, and she nailed it. She made us feel at home, and treated my son like a king.

The food was also fantastic, came quickly and was absolutely delicious.

There was also a gentlemen in a packer shirt who my son absolutely adored. Thank you for all your kind words, and offers.

You are all so wonderful.“

“My girlfriend and I went to get some food at Wahlburgers and ordering was fast. No line. I had my food surprisingly fast but she had to wait for quite a while. Turns out it was a mix up in the kitchen. It really wasn't a big issue but they comped her meal and upgraded it for free. The cook came out and apologized for the mistake. The food was very good and worth the wait. I told them it was no big deal and we will be coming back for sure !!

Parking: They have a good size parking lot. Lots of spaces.

Wheelchair accessibility: Seemed to be fully wheel chair accessible.“

“of course I recommend dutchmill , if you know how to respect people and just have a good night out. you'll find in time they become family/ friends“

“I went to the Echo Tap over the weekend because I had a craving for a burger. I didn’t know that there was a hockey game that night so it was quite busy but our server was very nice and accommodating despite how many tables he had. But the burger I had… it was the BEST burger I’ve had in a long long time! It was cooked perfectly and the flavors were perfect. Highly highly recommend!!“

“Very friendly staff, And chicken wings were amazing and our waitress was amazing how she Keep coming back and asking all the food was and I don't know who our waitresses tonight but she was excellent waitress will be back“

“I totally enjoyed visiting Hawk's Bar in Madison, Wisconsin on August 3, 2024. The bartender was Jimmy, and he was excellent at his job. He provided friendly and helpful customer service. Hawk's has enough craft beers to keep me more than happy. Although I didn't eat there, the food menu looked very good, too. I definitely recommend Hawk's Bar.“

“this place is a great place for a family outing, gotta get out & bowl more though 🤣🤣🤣. But me & my family had fun, will be definitely coming back“

“We always enjoy going to Dave and Busters. Our favorite games are there. The manager is very nice. It's a bit pricey but worth for a good date night!! The food is good!!! The drinks are good too!!“
