Chaser's all in all definitely isn't one of my favorite bars in Madison. The cheaper "specials" are served in tiny plastic cups, and rather than using a normal 16oz glass for taps, they use a skinny glass with their logo on it and charge you the same thing. When you order a burger, they nickel-and-dime you by asking you to "upgrade" for the cost of lettuce, tomato, and fries. Shady business practices like that makes me want to never come back.
However, I was so impressed by the last burger I had here. It was the first bacon cheeseburger I had ordered in perhaps ever where I could actually taste the bacon - and it was so good. The burger was also so huge that I couldn't finish it all in one sitting. This was some of the most expensive bar food I'd ever had, but at least I feel like I almost got my money's worth.
Chaser's has a lot of space and decent music, which really improves the atmosphere and sets it just a cut above a lot of the surrounding campus bars. It's just a shame they think we're all idiots.
