Too many memories to share here!

A Madison classic. Plaza Burger smothered in Plaza Sauce. Just like I remembered. Tavern burgers at their best.

Stopped in for a cider and a few rounds of pinball. The ladies working were lovely. I really need to try a Plaza burger. Soon.

Bartenders ignored us. Rejected our songs on touchtunes on my friend’s birthday twice (did reimburse us though, but still felt rude because it wasn’t very busy and it’s not that serious to let someone play a song they like), if you are going to have touchtunes then don’t reject songs, rude service. Bartenders ignored us when we walked in after they IDed us to chat with each other instead, and very unfriendly service in general. The free pool was nice though, and the bar is nice enough if you are looking for somewhere chill. Didn’t eat the food so can’t comment on that. In general though, felt like the bartenders didn’t want us there, which isn’t a typical behavior when a bar isn’t busy. Also cash only, which always feels weird to me.

Best time I have had yet! Mixed bag of ppl not just a bunch of half dressed students. And there is room to breathe and move! Had a great time!!

I feel bad for the person who played Pink Pony Club, not once, but several times with a fast pass extra fee… just for the bartenders to instantly skip it. Lol. Okay. You don’t like the song… remove from your touch tunes or put up a sign. Get over yourselves!! 😅

Posted close time on google maps is 2:30AM but the bouncer denies entry by 1:30. Just change the close time to 1:30AM and save people the trip. Thanks!

Perfect dive bar experience. Great food too. Try the plaza burger. Comes with a very unique "plaza sauce" that was really tasty. I added fried onions and pickles. It was an umami bomb. A cold draft beer would've gone perfectly with it and the southpark playing on tv, but alas it was a work day lunch and that's frowned upon!

Get the Plaza Burger. ‘Nuff said!!

Belly up to the bar and enjoy your burger with some pickles on the side, and some curds. You will not be disappointed. Cheap, friendly staff, great dive bar, and food!
