I can always count on Echo Tap for a good meal and beer when I visit Madison. I use to go here with coworkers during a summer internship. It has changed a bunch since the last time I was here. More TVs playing multiple sportsball games, more items on the menu, and they have outdoor seating.
I got myself the Deluxe Grilled Cheese, which is just a grilled cheese with onions, tomatoes, and guac. YUM! That definitely hit the spot. The chili also caught my eye. It was good, but a little spicy for me, which means it's fine for any normal person. That took me a little while to finish. After living in Green Bay for several years, I've realized how much I like noodles in my chili (it's a Northeastern, WI thing)...kind of missed it while eating my chili.
Two thumbs up for the beer selection here. All really good craft beers on tap. I'm jealous that Madison bars are more likely to have Lake Louie on tap. I enjoyed a wonderful Warped Speed scotch ale. (gulp) AHH!
