| - Gotta love the 'Za. It's like an up north dive bar in the heart of Madison. :) It has ugly old paintings on the wood-paneled walls, uncomfortable non-matching chairs, cracked floor tiling, horrendous bathrooms, and a deer hunting arcade game. And it's fabulous.
They have cheap pitchers, good drink specials and great cheese curds (the Plaza Burger is also supposed to be delicious, but I've never tried it--blasphemy, I know). This place introduced me to Catdaddy Moonshine, which the waitress described as tasting "like Christmas." She meant that it tastes like eggnog, and boy, was she ever right. If I remember the Plaza for anything, it will be for introducing me to this amazing, highly-alcoholic and wonderfully tasty liquor!
Anecdotally, one time a group of us were sitting at one of the booths, drinking our weight in liquor. The group of bartenders toasted our deep pockets by heralding us from the bar and doing a shot with us in our honor. Nice.
I don't like this place later at night. By 11 or 12 Thursday-Saturday, it randomly becomes filled with douchebags. Where did they come from?! Before then, though, it's excellent.
