Great place to enjoy with a bride or date night! Cozy vibe...
This is become the go to Bluegrass bar in Madison, with live music almost every night. Positive atmosphere, affordable drinks, really friendly bartenders, and an incredible vibe. It’s a default go to before high noon saloon or other places, lucky to have it as a gathering spot in Madison.

If you’re looking for the ultimate neighborhood bar, The Up North is it. Think Cheers, but with even friendlier bartenders (yes, that’s possible) and some of the most amazing live music around. It’s the kind of place where everyone truly knows your name—and if they don’t, they’ll learn it by the end of the night.
As someone who doesn’t drink, I can’t say enough about how comfortable I always feel here. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great experience, no matter what’s in their glass. Their non-alcoholic beverage selection is stellar, so I can enjoy something fun while soaking up the incredible atmosphere.
And the music? Unreal. From soulful bands to energetic acoustic sets, it’s like a live soundtrack that always delivers. Whether you’re a regular or just passing through, The Up North is the perfect spot to feel at home, connect with great people, and enjoy the best vibes in town.

A classic Wisco bar with a long history. Great friendly service. Good venue for live music 🎶 as well. Has a patio for smokers and summer tables. Very casual and laid back vibe.
Miranda is great! Live music was solid.
