Killer beer, fab food, fun atmosphere...a must on the Madison beer scene! Don't judge this book by it's cover (or facade)...yes it's in a strip mall type building but it's the original Ale Asylum space so there's good juju going on here.
Their food is fantastic and not your typical fried bar food. Their deviled egg sampler is genius as are their pretzel styx. The beer is of course also outstanding...I'm currently in love with their seasonal Champagne Tortoise. If you're a real beer fanatic ask them about their Drinktank Growlers...we bought one recently from them and they are way cool! They fill it, you take it home and charge with with CO2, and then you have Karben 4 in your fridge with a mini tapper for much longer than the traditional growlers (I posted a picture...check it out).
