36 Best Bar & Grill near Middleton

“Great service! Friendly staff! Wonderful food! Neat and clean environment! Awesome prices!“

“Great place to watch a packer game around the holiday. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Will be back.“

“Each visit was between the hours of 1:00pm and 6:00pm.

We’re new in town and have visited this bar three times in 1 week. Cindy is fabulous! She will order what she thinks you should eat…LOL. She mistakenly ordered us the ribs and fries basket on our first visit, and they were great! Ribs fall off the bone and fries hit and crispy! That prompted us to visit a second time for a corned beef sandwich (not a Reuben which could be mistaken for Ribs) and a hot Turkey and Swiss. The third visit was a BLT that we split. Definitely filling.

We have found our go to bar in town for watching sports on the tv. If you like to play, there are two pool tables, and two electronic dart boards. Wednesday night in the summer is sand volleyball. Maybe some other things too, but that’s all I know.

Good drinks, Good food, Good Times!“

“So.. my daughter took me to the pop up xmas bar at Tanners. It was very packed NOT enjoyable so we went to Tanners bar got some beverages had a wonderful bartender VANESSA!!! Huge shout out to you my dear. My daughter took me out and as busy as you were you served better than the Xmas pop up bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should get a raise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re the best. Thank you so much for a wonderful night amongst the insanely busy night. I would love w come back just for you!! Thank you woman!“

“As you would expect, the golf setup is fabulous but the food is plenty good as well. The friendly and attentive staff make this place an A+ in my book.“

“Grabbed a quick bite before event. Food was okay. Service was fine but bar can get busy which slowed things down. As it got busier seemed like hostess was losing track of which tables in bar area were actually open or not because you had to leave your table to go to the bar to order.“

“Amazing fish tacos today!!“

“Great food, great staff, nice atmosphere!“

“Stopped in for supper on Friday night. It was close to 8:30 by the time we got there. We both had the deep fried cod. It was outstanding !! Still had the salad bar full, fish was lightly breaded and great service as usual !! Great food and drinks. Highly recommend the prime rib on Saturday night as well. 😋😋“

“Love the rustic indrustrialized interior. The outdoor beer garden is absolutely charming with grape vines and lights. Staff are all very friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed the Strawberry Fields cocktail and the freshly made Ellsworth cheese curds. Can't wait to go back and try more!“

“It was an easy choice to pick Stone Porch Alehouse for lunch with a friend. Ordered the Nashville Chicken sandwich which was absolutely delicious and hit the spot, the seasonings were spot on and it was fried perfectly. My friend ordered a cheeseburger and fries and hers looked delicious too! Shoutout to Chef Jacob and waiter Cody. I asked Cody to pick a surprise side with my chicken and hers picked the cornbread (Yum!). You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu-it’s all mouth watering and generous portions! I just wish they offered roasted Brussel sprouts! We’ll be back soon!“

“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!“

“Came in a couple weekends ago with my son. The food was amazing. We both got the pull tab burgers and cheese curds, and would return to eat here again. Unfortunately, the service during our visit was poor. When we arrived, it was not full/busy, but it got busy shortly after we arrived. Despite sitting front and center at a hightop table, we received our sodas and then were ignored for about 20 mins. I asked twice, 2 different waitresses, in that time period to order. Both waitresses walked by us multiple times, and helped other/larger tables that arrived after us, first instead of us. I finally asked what looked like a manager if he could help me, and he didn't, but he got a 3rd waitress to help. My son and I intended to dine in, and also ordered 1 addtl order to-go. The kitchen brought all 3 orders out in stryofoam in a plastic bag, so my son and I ate from to-go containers at the table. Despite the fact that the service was annoying, I'd try again since the food was so good. Maybe it was an off day?“

“good food friendly staff!“

“Food was yummy!! I got the tipsy burger. Really like the tipsy sauce! Cheese curds were good. Kids also liked their meals. Food comes quick!“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! My husband and I had a great date night. Fabulous meal, service and atmosphere.“

“10/28/23 After attending our our Grandson State Honors Concert stop in to eat. Great service and food. Group of 6 and all enjoyed our food.“

“My group of about 14 people came for the fish fryI I had the walleye deep fried with sweet potato fries. they were great the brandy old fashion which was all great. Service excellent. It was somewhat loud but bars a always loud“

“Visited Madison for homecoming weekend and wanted to say I was so impressed with this new bar in town! I wanted to gather a potentially large group of women I went to college with and the owner ( also a Badger alum ) was more than accommodating and communicative! They have a large space upstairs to host up to 300 people! They appear to have a full calendar of fun events - and we saw they had karaoke one night as well !!! I will definitely keep them in mind for the future! Love Moon Bar !“

“Always have an amazing time!“

“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!!“

“Excellent service and fish fry while watching the packer game. A true gem with great food. They also have a fantastic Reuben.“

“It's hard to know where to start. First they have Guinness on tap they have harp on tap they have some incredible drink selections but let's go away from there and go to the food I only had the basically the fish and chips the batter was incredibly light it was not greasy it didn't detract in a fish the fish inside was amazing the chips were great decent french fries fresh as opposed to cook for 2 hours before the coleslaw was superb they've been a two slices of rye bread with it the rest of the menu looked very good it had sandwiches anywhere from 12:00 to $19 main meals anywhere from 22 to 42 or higher market price steak whatever that means in English and the appetizers look amazing so I'd recommend it if you're going to be in a first class hotel in Madison Wisconsin which isn't going to happen to everyone and barely happen to me I recommend this place it's got aesthetics and Keith and they do wear masks“

“Great breakfast this morning.“

“Cool divey little place. Went there after a concert at the Sylvee. Super friendly bartender. Whipped me up some late-night bar food. Kinda generic, but fresh and hot. Really hit the spot. Drinks were good. Hard to beat for a low key, late night spot like this. I'll be back next time.“

“Best Madison dive bar, hands down!“

“Cheese curds were good last year but idk what they gave me this time.. waiter was honest and said the manager was sick of how long the fryers took to clean.

We don’t care about that just bring back the square cheese curds please.“

“I was in there yesterday evening (7/29/2022) with my husband and father around 7 pm. Our waitress made a few mistakes in our service. But what meant something to me is that she apologized. She could easily have avoided us. Management had already stepped in. But she didn’t. It took courage to come back to us and say she was sorry. I probably didn’t show it at the time, but I really appreciated that. It showed a great deal of poise and courage.“

“After months battlin’ monstrous waves and outrunnin’ the devil’s own storms, I steered me mighty ship into the harbor of Madison, seekin’ refuge… and perhaps a bite that wouldn’t bite back😏. That’s when I heard whispers on the wind of a place called “City Bar” offerin’ oysters for a mere dollar each. A trick, I thought. Or sorcery!
But by the beard of Neptune, it was no lie.
I staggered in, sea-worn and salt-crusted, and what did I find? A bounty of glistening oysters laid out like pearls from a mermaid’s hoard. Each one fresh as the morning tide, briny and bold, slippin’ down the hatch smoother than a calm sea at sunrise. I devoured ‘em by the dozen, like a man who’d not seen shore in years. My belly was blundered with beer and oysters! The crew behind the bar? A lively bunch, quick with a pour. They showed no haste as I slobbered down about 50! Now this right here… this is the treasure I’ve been searching for!“

“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!!“

“The service here is really good. I've been coming here Saturday nights for the prime rib, and I am always satisfied. The staff is so friendly and quick, and always treat me like one of their good friends. It hasn't been too busy when we come here, so that has been nice too!“

“Such a fun place to dance & hangout!!! One of the best spots in Madison and a great mix of DJ’s!“

“I love this place so much. It's one of the best breakfast places ever. The prices are incredible. There is so much room to sit as well. People should not go anywhere else except for here. They made the Poached Eggs perfectly. The hash browns are the best I've ever had in my life.“

“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)“

“Great room, location was unmatched right on the water, and fun events!“
