I, for one, have spent way too much time in Wando's...drowning in fish bowls, consuming free bacon on Tuesdays (with $1 PBR's, natch), and generally overindulging myself. This is all in my college years. However, even when I get back to Madison once per year, I still make a stop at Wando's. Why?
1) To reminisce about the above. It's still the same bar but now there are heat lamps outside when you wait in a long line.
2) Fish bowls. One sip will probably do now. Those things are lethal and will leave you with the worst.hangover.ever.
3) Cheap drinks. Although you can likely get these anywhere.
The bartenders range from polite to surly and the crowd can completely vary, mostly depending on game nights. It's a bar, not a country club.
