“My boss asked me to meet him here on a Fri afternoon. The place has a lot of interesting things to look at, the decore reminded me of an antique shop almost. Everything looked well kept, cleaning was apparent. The bartender was warm, engaging, and interesting to talk with. The burgers were excellent, the locals that fluttered in and out were pleasant, and polite. They have pool, darts, and a good jukebox. They also have something along the lines of peanut butter tequila. You have to try it to understand. It's amazing. Yes, yes, and yes . It really is tequila that's so good you want another right away! Had a great time and will be back!“

“This European style tavern is a classic throw back.
The bar itself has some of the best local, national and international beers served in town. And served in proper glassware.
The back bar is stocked with a wide and varied selection of high quality whiskies and spirits.
There is something here for everyone.
Whether you’re looking to meet up with folks or are seeking a drink while reading your current book, this place is for you.
Kudos to the team for bringing this to Madison and keeping it alive!“

“Good coffee, food, and service. Reasonable waiting time to get your food. It definitely has a hidden gem vibe. Two things, portions could be a bit bigger for what's being charged. Also, not sure if the kitchen has poor extraction but you'll definitely will catch a smell of grease on you after leaving. Eating outside is recommended. Otherwise staff are chill and I could see myself visiting again for a quick breakfast when I come back to Madison.“

“Went on a Wednesday afternoon, since I was on campus for work that day and wanted to try something new. They had the special of buffalo chicken wrap, grilled or crispy. It was SO good. I’ve been thinking of it since 😂! The had generous amounts of chicken on it, which is always nice. The service was excellent too. Definitely will be going back when I’m on campus again. 😋“

“Our wedding at the union was fantastic! Sam Mack (venue coordinator) was a great communicator and all of the Union Staff was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the planning process and day-of. We had our ceremony in Tripp Commons and our cocktail hour and reception in Great Hall. The food was good (not the best I've ever had, but also not the worst), the cocktails and drinks were great, and it was so nice not having to make a million different decisions. They really guide you through the process which was exactly what we were looking for. The Union has done hundreds of weddings and it really shows. The whole day went very smoothly and the price was right! Would highly recommend, especially for UW grads!“

“College visit with the daughter and we dined here with friends on Saturday 28th Sept and being originally from the UK, and seeing the fish and chips were haddock (not cod) I immediately had to have them and they were the best fish and chips this side of the “pond” having put up with 12 years of “just ok” fish and chips, these were amazing. Not only were the fish and chips good, but every dish was a winner. I am now praying my daughter gets into the college as I will be a regular here.“

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

“I usually love bear and bottle but my food and service were just bad today I’ve had this server before and they just aren’t attentive Had to go to bar for my second drink Normally food is very good but taco dip has huge chunks of cream cheese Server left my food at edge of table for more that fifteen minutes which attracted flies I love the open air aspect of this spot bit of your food is left for that long…. Flies come to you. I will only eat at the bar from now on. Bar service is amazing“

“What a unique gem in Madison! Stepping inside feels like being transported to another country. The staff is friendly and attentive, the beers are affordable, and the cozy upstairs balcony is a hidden gem. The bar is cash only, but there’s an ATM on-site. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Madison!“

“Sat at the bar to eat and have a drink. People were friendly. We went here a while ago and the food was good so we returned. It's updated, remodeled and apparently has new ownership, but same name, same food. It was pretty good. We live further away so not a frequent stop, but we'd come back again.“

“Excelente servicio, muy confortable, ambiente seguro“

“Wild fun place had a blast performing for the locals. Hope to come back soon“
