“A classic Madison watering hole with yummy tacos! Some of the standards but I always prefer their more interesting concoctions, like a recent curry chicken taco w/amazing mango chutney!
It's on a side street, so the sidewalk patio is relatively quiet & gets nice shade in the afternoon.
I don't actually drink booze, so cannot comment on that aspect. 😋“

“Hopped by after happy hour margaritas & tacos across the street. This spot was an awesome no-frills bar. They’ve got a private room in the back, two pool tables. Juke box, pull tabs, tv on for football games (the lions were playing so I was tuned in). Beer on draft and also cans. Bartender was easy-going. The only pic I took was in the bathroom stall, haha. There’s a male bathroom and a female bathroom.“

“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.“
