27 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 love the boneyard - best place with the best vibes, best bartenders, and the best regulars. wanna haw the best night? come here.“

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

“Great local bar. First time here on a Wednesday evening. Low key upon arrival. Very clean and a lot of bar space. It was bingo night and it quickly became packed around 6pm. Locals were all friendly.
No tap beer, which is fine because the bottled beer was cold.
Feels like off the beaten path, yet 10 min from Madison east/south side.
Highly recommend and I'll stop again.“

“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!“

“This is actually a really nice little Community Center with all kinds of things going on. I wasn't here long but it was lovely to see all the community events they had I would check out their website and get information on how you can get involved.“

“Amazing fish tacos today!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

We had the most amazing dinner, oysters on the half shell and wrapped it up with an unbelievably good coffee and date ice cream 😋 Our experience was so good we decided to go back a second night! Oysters and dinner were fantastic! Too full for dessert Such a beautiful location, great service and delicious food. Highly recommend 👌“

The staff were incredibly helpful in organizing the night over one year out and made it perfect and intimate in their upstairs private space for the evening. Food, drink and atmosphere was amazing, couldn’t recommend more!“

“Great food but the best part of the dining experience was Ian. Please give him a raise. Spoke to him only a short while and he is an absolute sunshine. Came in with a huge smile and such a happy attitude!! Thank you Ian truly for making something so simple so so special. If Ian is your waiter you are truly fortunate. Treat him right!“

“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!!“

“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 was snowed-in to my parking spot across the street and they lent me a shovel! After struggling to dig myself out for 20 minutes they even sent an employee out to help lol. Not food/drink related but it says a lot about the service!! Thanks for your help guys! It was much appreciated.“

“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!!“

“We’ve had great experiences here this summer with the kids bowl free program! Everyone is kind, everything is clean, it’s never been too crowded. Thanks guys!“

“I was in town for a coin show and decided to check a local place out for lunch. The burger was excellent. The fries were a little bland (beer battered ones). The service is a little odd, we stood at the food counter for some time watching a girl in the back as she just looked at us back. As a person that's never been there before, we didn't know if we should sit down, grab a menu and sit down, shout out an order etc. The place is cool and has a decent separation food from bar. Sports on TV, not a fan, lots of squeaky basketball shoes, would prefer that on mute and some music instead. Would return if in the area again. (Oh and a funny thing on bathroom wall haha)“
