“Bustling area of Madison with great service and excellent food. This place has charm of an old Wisconsin tavern, love the new cozy space added inside. The brunch menu, Pastrami Hash, chef's kiss! Enjoy having the self service station for water/coffee.“
“I am an international student and live around the area. The Main Depot is a heritage bar. Its more than a bar, its a community of people of all ages. Undoubtedly the kindest people I have met at any spot in my 2 years in America.P.S**** = If you are lucky you can see trains passing from the bench on the backside. Enjoy ;)“
“This is the ultimate in Wisconsin's local neighborhood tavern. The service was spectacular. The bartender was top notch, with over 25 years experience running the show, ans was very attentive to everyone in the place. The selections of sauces for the food was extensive, and all were very flavorful, particularly the mango habeñero sauce.“
“Great local neighborhood bar. Best whiskey bar in Madison. Also a very good craft beer selection and great beers on tap. With October almost here I had to stop by Bill's bar to try his Oktoberfest beer on tap and wasn't disappointed. It was great and a good size mug (see pic attached). You can find some of the most unique beer and premium whiskey selections in Madison. Great to support locally owned Madison establishments like the Malt House. There is no food kitchen, but you can get food delivered. Check out the Malt House Facebook page to see what nights local bands are playing here.Parking: If you get here early, there is a parking lot at the Malt House. On a busy night you may have to get nearby (free) street parking.“
“Friday Night Fish Fry Wife did not want battered fish and they have excellent alternate. She got the salmon and salad and looking at the menu- what did I see but mussels. These are some of the best I have had since being out on the East Coast. The potatoes in with the mussels with an extra surprise. Great service“
“Came here after researching the "best coffee in Madison." I only got their pour over, so that's all I can speak for. It was cheap as well as delicious. Actual good coffee places can be hard to come by, and this is definitely one of them. I loved the atmosphere as well as the wooden interior. I'm definitely coming back next time I'm in Madison.“
“Recently stopped in for dinner with an out-of-town friend. Outstanding service! Elyse was AMAZING and took great care of us. The food was wonderful, with special mention of the smash burger - honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had - no joke! Great drinks, great food, well worth the visit.“
“Luckys- where do i start. this is the best bar in madison. the food is great but the atmosphere is even better. they have specials for everyday of the week, and the music turned up for the perfect jam sesh. good for a chill night or a wild night out.“
“Jordan's is one of the best bars in the city. An excellent food menu with daily food specials, not to mention a Friday Fish Fry that could rival anyone else in Madison! An awesome atmosphere for any Wisconsin sporting event with Badger football GameDays being the crown jewel. Super friendly staff and just general great vibes any day of the week. I really can't recommend this place enough!“
“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!“
“Pitcher's Pub has been around for a longTime. The Entrance is Very poor andNOT Lighted. It is very difficult to seeThe access. THE REST OF THE BAR ISSUPER. GREAT EMPLOYEES THERE- ⭐Parking: Pitcher's Pub is an Awesome place toVisit. Atmosphere Rules. Very GreatEmployees there-!! ? ?“
“Service was amazing. The bartender was new, but very attentive and friendly! Food is typical bar food, but they have a "pub rub" which you can add to any item. We had it on chicken wings with a few different sauces. It was super delicious especially with the BBQ sauce. The atmosphere was your local dive bar with friendly regulars, pool table, shake of the day, and pull tabs! I can't wait to go back for their Bloody Mary's and more!!“
“My friend got married at the capitol and we had seating planned for all 14 of us, but one of the tables didn’t end up leaving like we thought- The manager and wait staff were amazing and made something else work with no ask. Amazing service and so thankful“
“Stop here after reading that they were voted one of the top 3 fish Fry's in Madison and it did not disappoint me. Fish was outstanding. Excellent beer battered and flavorful and nice crispy waffle fries. Service was friendly and prompt. Highly recommend and definitely #1 fish fry in Madison.“
“Antler's has always been one of my dad's favorite bars. I took it upon myself to throw him a surprise party and I knew that would be the perfect place. The owner met with me prior and was more than willing to help me with everything. Also, allowed me to decorate the place exactly how I wanted. If you're looking for a place to throw a party at this is the perfect spot. This process truly could not have gone smoother. I would recommend Antler's to anybody, it is such a good atmosphere, and is so much fun!“
“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.“
“Fun bartenders, mixed crowd, Black friendly.I have found the acoustics to be hard on the ears when the crowd gets loud. Every Friday there's a band playing. I've heard everything from jazz to bluegrass.They don't have an extensive menu, but they partner with Buck's Pizza across the street. When your order is ready, the bartenders will walk over to pick up your pizza and hand deliver it to you, rain, sleet, or shine. - That's good service!“
“Lots of tables. Half are sit down, half are bar height. Multiple TVs on every wall. Plenty of beers on tap, covering the spectrum from big name to craft. Came here for the fish. They have 2 or 3 piece cod. Cod is planks, batter is fairly light. Seemed a bit dry. Good tartar sauce. Battered fries were good. Coleslaw was creamy and good. 3 piece cod and soda ruined a $20 bill, but that is normal, now. Service was friendly and quick.“
