Cocktail Bars near Middleton

“So cool. Some of their cocktail concepts honestly compare to Aviary downtown. Super interesting ideas. One cocktial might taste like Orange Crush soda, another might taste like a summer salad, another might taste like a classic Sazerac. Staff were super cool. And the visual concept of the bar - monochrome with colored lighting - is neat. Absolutely will be back.“

“Stiff drinks and a loose time“

“We thought this place was a gem! The bartender Jon was able to make a Ramos gin fizz and hit it out of the park!“

“My husband and I ate here for our fifth year wedding anniversary. It was absolutely perfect. We sat at the bar which gave us an amazing view of the kitchen. The service was impeccable. The food and drinks were sublime. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. It was one of the best meals we’ve had in Madison. We will definitely return!“

“I never tried a Moscow mule before until I went on a trip for a family reunion. I tried a sample at total wine and more. Let me just say this company’s mixed drinks are fabulous!!! I absolutely love the Moscow mule and the old fashioned. I’ve tried other brands Moscow mules and nothing, nothing compares to this company’s Moscow mule!!!! I tell people that are looking for a good drink to try, I tell them to try plain spoke’s drink because they don’t disappoint!!“

“Classic must try pizzeria. Absolutely delicious, they come up with great pie ideas and they are ALL hits. Their service is impeccable and their excellent cocktails give the experience the cherry on top . To add to that the prices are super reasonable. Great atmosphere, can't recommend this enough. It's become a go to return spot over the years, wether I go for a nice dinner with my partner, or getting "fancy" pizza and drinks with friends, this is the place to go.“

“Super fun evening & they had a DJ with great tunes. Cocktail list is fairly extensive. Both bartenders working tonight were absolutely fabulous. Kept up with the crowd to ensure everyone had their drinks but also took a little bit of time to chat. Definitely will come back. Especially for those blended ice cream drinks.... 😂🤪“

“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.“

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at AmarPeru today, marking my first experience with Peruvian cuisine, and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance struck us as both elegant and inviting. The decor was sophisticated, setting the perfect tone for a delightful meal. Upon our arrival, the executive chef greeted us with a warm smile, which immediately made us feel welcomed. With our excitement, we dove into the menu and decided to sample a variety of dishes: lomo saltado, paella, ceviche mixto, truffle yuca fries, and anticucho. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing just the right balance of flavors. We savored every bite, feeling completely satisfied yet still we left a room for dessert. We chose to indulge in alfajores, arroz con leche, and pisco tres leches. She even has us try the passion fruit juice and one of their specialty dessert. Desserts were the perfect ending to our meal, the ideal balance of sweetness and texture that we wanted. Overall, our experience at AmarPeru was fantastic! We left feeling full and happy, already planning our return to explore more of their culinary offerings. It was a wonderful opportunity to immerse ourselves in a different culture's cuisine, and I can't wait to go back! Highly recommended for anyone looking to try something new and delicious. Thank you to the chef and the entire team for crafting such a delicious meal. 🫶“

“Everything was super delicious. Only "complaint" is that the rolls were too big and hard to eat. Whole section of clearly marked vegan rolls to choose from. Lots of vegan appetizers too that weren't marked vegan but waitress was helpful in letting us know. Note that miso soup is not vegan.“

“The bartenders are very friendly and professional, the drinks are great and the prices good“

“I would give this place 10 stars if I could! My car broke down and I rolled into the parking lot of the Springfield Inn. I was so lucky to have found the place. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful to my daughter and me. Thank you Kim!“

“Vibes! Taste Eats! Craft cocktails and Pabst! Coca~Cola in a bottle! Madison's Best DJ's! The sexiest DJ Booth in town! Amazing sound! HiFi and LowKey! <3“

“good place, good drinks, good food, great atmosphere!“

“The catering order placed for our holiday lunch was simply amazing. Legit best value for the price, great flavor, and those homemade sauces are a true chef's kiss. Def. recommend!“

“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!“

“Cute atmosphere. A little overpriced. Chicken Taco way over seasoned . Recommend adding simple tacos for children or others that enjoy the basic taco. Bandito delicious ! I’ve never been where you have to pay for chips & salsa . Adding in fountain soda would be a plus .“

“What an incredible experience! Everything from the drinks, food, service and atmosphere was amazing. We cannot wait to come back again. Gabe was an incredible server - personable, knowledgeable, funny, and had the best timing (he just knew when we needed another cocktail). I cannot recommend this place enough!“

“I'm not much for the downtown thing but this little place was awesome last night. Super rad bartenders with great stories :) Also, I got pretty drunk, which is cool.“

“It’s an amazing place to celebrate.“

“Ive been going to the Bonfyre for years and I really love the place. For the past year it has been infested with gnats or fruit flies or whatever they are. . You cant take a sip or a bite without waving them away. Its annoying as hell and gross. Its not a one time thing, I go there often and its not getting better. This afternoon I stopped in for a couple of beers and some calamari appetizer. I love their calamari! I used to, today I got a massive plate of breaded bread. And swatted flies away the entire time. I'm not giving up on Bonfyre but if they cant fix the bug problem soon I'm done. I stopped by Badger Tavern before going to Bonfyre, the parking lot was packed as was the entire street so went to Bonfyre. Bonfyre was pretty empty. The atmosphere at Bonfyre should and could be a 5 star...get rid of your bug problem!“

“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“

“The drinks were awesome! The service was really great. The food was from Grampa's (next door). My only complaint was that it was a little too dark on the stairs.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian pizzas available.“

“Staff was quick and friendly, patio was gorgeous, and the food was great- would highly recommend the Nashville hot chicken sandwich! Appreciated how attentive and pleasant our server was- especially on a hot and humid day for the patio! The manager was also lovely and came to check on us and others. Great place to get together with friends, go out with the fam, or stop in on your way home from work. Will be back!“

“The Thai chicken bowl is amazing!!! I’ve gotten it 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Great outdoor seating area too! There was even live music tonight. Great atmosphere and food!“

“Food and Service were great!“

“Went here for a date night and have to admit it was fantastic. It was close to closing time but there was no rush from the staff and service and food was excellent. We had the papa's eggplant parm and the badger spicy chicken sandwich. Both were excellent and very large sandwiches. Definitely would recommend to anyone.“

“Fabulous place, omg the view of the capital is amazing“
