A true "hole in the wall" as it were, but the Plaza Burger is top notch 9/10. Absolute recommend for any human who loves a good burger with and outstanding, lip smacking sauce.

It is a classic bar. It's not some cutesie fake speakeasy or craft cocktail place. Its a bar with barfood, bar tv, bar decor (neon beer ads) and very kind/capable bartenders & staff. It is beautiful. It's the bar I think of if someone says "a horse walks into a bar...". It is perfection.

Enjoy this untouched classic. Nothing has been remodeled. Huge canvases of woods and lakes. Reunite with old friends. We are lucky to have this place. Food is flawless. The fishwich with onion rings and an extra side of plaza sauce. And isn’t my cat cute?

The place hasn't changed- which is wonderful. The plaza burger with cheese never disappoints. And service is always fast and friendly.

Classic dive bar... Not a fan of it's infamous burger and it's white mystery sauce...

This is a great old bar in the heart of Madison. They have a decent bar food menu- burgers, fries, onion rings. The best part about this place is it's unchanged, makes it a perfect spot if you like dive bars!!!
The plaza is one of my absolute favorite places in Madison and I miss it with my whole heart!

I first went to The Plaza in 1968. It was a go-to place throughout my college years. Just went back for the first time in decades. I'm pleased that except for the flat screen TVs it looks pretty much the same as it did then. The Plaza Burger is still outstanding and the french fries excellent. Broad selection of beers with many from Wisconsin. I introduced a friend from Cleveland to it last week and she loves it too. Next time I'm in Madison I'll be back!

Plaza burgers are the best! The plaza sauce and the pickles are what make them so tasty! A downtown Madison must stop.

Felt like I was putting the staff out by being there. Listened to them complaining about customers. They apparently don't know how the bills are paid.Ordered a cheese plaza burger but got a regular cheese burger instead. Not sure if they didn't think that I would notice the difference but I've been eating their burgers since before anyone working there was born.I will not be going back and encourage anyone reading this to do the same.To think I donated to their gofundme drive during covid to help them stay afloat.

Don't wear clean clothes into this place. You'll just wreck them as soon as you sit down.
