I would put Brocach's fish fry in my top 5 favorites in Madison. It wasn't too soggy and I like their tartar sauce, which had a lot of flavor. There's a generous portion of fries to go with the fish, and the coleslaw is not your average coleslaw. I had a Dublin mule to go with my meal and was not disappointed with the size or strength of the drink.
My date for the night had the bangers and mash. While she hadn't had bangers and mash before, she left saying that because of Brocach's, she'll have high standards going forward! She also appreciated that they served non-alcoholic beer.
When we went on a Friday night, they had live Irish music which was a nice touch to our evening. We were far enough away from the band that we could still have a conversation. That, along with people watching in the window, made for an enjoyable date night indeed, and all for a very reasonable price!
