“Where to begin…I truly would give this whole experience more than 5 stars if I could. It was my sister and I’s first time dining here and let’s just say it more than exceeded expectations in every way possible. The customer service was over the top incredible with Kennedy as our server and Jenna too. The manager, Emily, stopped by and was amazing as well. They were all professional, catering to us, and genuinely warm and kind. The food was fantastic and over the top. And the vibes were immaculate. Run, don’t walk to the Harvey House. I can promise you won’t regret it!“

“I love the Mason, been going there for years. Love how basically nothing has changed, always great beer on tap, liquor selection and you have the option to order food from Falbos and enjoy it with an amazing beer that has been carefully catered. Everytime I have a chance to go out and enjoy a relaxing and refreshing experience I go to the Mason, shout out to Matt!“

“This place is a true hidden gem! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but walking in - holy cow! Give your eyes a moment to adjust because it is very dark, which makes it hard to see the tigers, and there are tigers everywhere! I had a few beers and got great friendly service from Alyssa and Teddy - awesome bartenders! I saw them make a few fancy drinks that looked delicious, but I had to head out. If you are looking for a bar that is unique, this is a MUST STOP!“

“The best burgers! Just a great old bar.“

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

“third generation family business“

“Be cognizant of what you order. You can still get regular mixers and beers for a reasonable price (pshhh they even have deals sometimes). The food is actually very good, just pricey for what it is, but it's a frickin' movie theater what do you want?Treat it like you would any bar and tip well. These guys work hard. :)

Parking: Lots of.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Great atmosphere, Amazing food, and John & Cindy & Family are breath of fresh air in a corporate world these days!! Highly Recommend!“

“The fish bowls here are awesome. It's literally a fishbowl filled with whatever beverage (booze) of your choice. Ideally, I would suggest you split it amongst a group of friends.

I came here twice, once for lunch where I got the fishbowl alongside a pretty tasty fried chicken sandwich. A second time later in the evening where it's more of a college bar. Both times I enjoyed my experience. 5 stars!“

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

“Great food! Stopped after a college tour. Friendly staff!“

“Great service. Excellent selection of beer, both can and tap. Our food was very good. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Quaint, quirky & quiet bar, a good place for conversation, or to play cards! Limited, but (at least recently) reliable hours. Sometimes has a home-cooked dinner option (besides the frozen pizzas, etc.). If so on your visit, I'd recommend trying it. I've been pleasantly surprised each time. Reasonable and good (but not extensive) local beer options. Great little local one-man establishment.“

“Best place to work and enjoy the Madison music scene for a long time. Used to really enjoy the folks that I worked with and of course the occasional after hour parties all around Madison, you never knew who you’d bump into! Afternoons playing euchre at Bob and Genes then later bartending at one of the three levels of fun at the Church Key- What a life:)“

“Best bar in Madison! Drinks are cheap and good, bartenders are so nice and helpful, and bouncers are hilarious. Music is good typically. Bathrooms are comparable to most college bar bathrooms— nothing to write home about but it’ll get the job done. Come in for a good time!“

“Good bar but I gotta shoutout to whoever works there that thinks it’s acceptable to be putting his hands on people in a threatening manner on an almost daily basis the past few days I’ve been in. Sure hope nobody contacts the police to press charges.“

“Had the taco salad and it was very good, chicken was tender and super tasty, I’ll be back to try more menu items!“

“Badger Tavern has really stepped up its game under the new ownership. Clay has perhaps the best work ethic I’ve ever witnessed. The food is consistently excellent, and you’re guaranteed a good time every time. The staff is stellar too, fun, friendly, and hardworking. Badger Tavern is now my go-to place for a ‘sure thing’! 5 Stars“

“Remingtons has amazing pizza and even better wings. They easily rank in top three best wing spots in Dane County. Can’t wait to go back for some more. Also a great spot to take a group with kids in the summer as the outdoor area has a great place for them to play.“

“Great hand crafted pizza!“

“Friendly locally owned place. One of the oldest buildings in Middleton. Ambience is a bit like drinking in your crazy uncle's basement (i.e. the furnace is in the middle of the room) with strong drinks and good food.“

“After 29 years of living near Madison, we finally went for dinner last night. Everything was delicious- mocktail, bruschetta, both pasta dishes (mushroom truffle & sausage rigatoni), as well as the light, fluffy desserts (butterscotch pudding & cheesecake with rhubarb/strawberry compote). Super happy our waiter, James, sent us home with an extra baguette & recommended making French toast - which we did today! We’ll be back with friends and recommending to others!“

“We attended a family birthday gathering of about 28 people. Check this place out! Friendly great service with awesome food menu & bar. I highly recommend!“

“Great food you can tell is both homemade and made with quality fresh ingredients. This is a once a week type of restaurant! Those who make and serve the food are very friendly, helpful, and attentive. Keep supporting small businesses!“

“Once you stumble into this hole in the all...you may never return. There is a diamond so bright in this place. Your shoes might stick a bit to the floor but embrace the vibe. They have some awesome ambiance and sling drinks even the stiffest of barflys will live!“

“Delicious food, good drinks, and a great service. One of my favorite places for Sunday brunch. Highly recommend!“

“Great service and great food, cozy, friendly atmosphere!“

“Great service and great food! I highly recommend this restaurant for the great dining experience!“

“I had the fajitas for lunch and it was a large serving and delicious. they even set them on fire at the table! Great service with a smile as well.“

“Mom’s bar is the de facto karaoke bar of Madison! It’s a small place that offers a cozy atmosphere and an awesome karaoke catalog (Karafun) — they’ll have pretty much any song you could think of singing. Be aware that if you want to be able to sing on weekends, you’ll probably need to pay to move up in the queue or arrive early. The drinks served are standard for a college bar, nothing fancy.“

“great food, and even greater people“

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

“Great drinks and a very nice view of Madison, Wisconsin... Awesome!!! The upstairs patio is open for business.“

“Great bar. Quick and easy service to get drinks. Great music playing on jukebox. Pool tables were on free when we were there but are a little steep at $1.50 a game normally. 2 golden tee machines, 2 dart boards. Outdoor volleyball. Fries were good but the food is just prefrontal and cooked. Will go again. People were all personable and didn't treat us as outsiders.“
