“Really fun lil dive bar! Friendly bartender. Within walking distance of the Sylvee. ❤️“
“This is become the go to Bluegrass bar in Madison, with live music almost every night. Positive atmosphere, affordable drinks, really friendly bartenders, and an incredible vibe. It’s a default go to before high noon saloon or other places, lucky to have it as a gathering spot in Madison.“
“Service 5/5 solely for Gretchen.
Otherwise no stars.
Unfortunately this place has gone down hill bad after the change in ownership. No longer feels like a safe community bar. The people on a bar stool next to you are now judgmental and rude. Didn’t feel welcome.“

“Neat little place. Under new owner ship as of this year 2026. It has gone through some revolutions. I'm looking forward to the space being collectively open to some staples and the community being open to some newness for the establishment. Today, Saturday, I tried the Nitro Espresso Martini- this batch is good. A bit like a drunken chocolate milk with coffee. Certainly not bad and totally a great combo , this batch just has a bit more chocolate notes. Tasty.
I tried the tacos, #42, Old boy, Natty ice. I'm not total spicy girl at the moment. The #42 was soooooo juicy it ran down my hands and the others were superb as well. They made it more cohesive and yummy. Ask for more napkins.
I tried the Classic Old Fashioned, it pre-bottled- a bit sweet for my taste. I needed some muddling of cherries and the option to make it less sweet, more lemon or club soda to make more sour. But i will just order it next time. No biggie.
I found this place about 8 yrs ago and I'm excited to support it's new evolution!“

“Who DOESN’T love Paradise- what’s your favorite Paradise over the years! I bet no matter what is that you might choose there was also a favorite island Bar there! OK, maybe this year you can’t go to some far away fabulous paradise Island but that’s OK because look right here in Madison is the next best thing! The Paradise Lounge is an absolute great dive bar. That is just wonderful great bartenders - and inviting atmosphere and great conversation“

“One of my Madison faves!!!“
“Very cool place if you like calm, and not crowded. The bartender was very nice. The people (aka guest) very nice. Small bit enjoyable. A place for awesome communication, worth partying in small groups, or alone. Rather than party scenes that are over crowded, ect“

“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.“
“Have been in here more than a time or two. First time having food here was tonight and it is something to write home about. Josh cooked us some well spiced chicken tenders and wings. House made garlic herb ranch is perfect for the fresh made pub chips!
Beer specials pretty much every night great pool table and occasionally there’s a golden retriever around! Definitely stop by and say “Hi” to Josh (bartender) and Legend (dog).“

“I love this bar! Unpretentious and occasionally uproarious, this is where you meet the real Waunakee. It may not be to everyone's taste but if you love a good Wisconsin tavern you have got to visit Ripp's! "Ripp's Bar, where the winners are!"“
