| - This is easily one of my favorite places in the Atwood-Schenck neighborhood.
Sevex is delicious, and they've run out a couple times- try it if you're there and it's available. My first visit I tried a flight of four beers and Wilbur and Sevex stood out . They come out with seasonal beers regularly and aren't afraid to experiment. If you're coming with a group that includes patrons not so keen on beer, don't worry - there's a long enough wine list and cocktail menu to keep everyone happy.
Anytime I've come to NDB, one of the founder is behind the bar, and more than happy to chat with you about NDB's origins, the ideas behind the beers, and their excitement about upcoming additions. Their passion is palpable without being intimidating if you don't know the difference between malt and hops (they'll happily give you a mini-lecture if it's not too busy). The wait staff is very friendly, and can answer any questions you have about the menu, which brings me to my next point.
Most breweries skimp on food. You get beer, and then some peanuts/pretzels/chips, with a burger or sandwich option if you're lucky. Not so with NDB. The menu is updated regularly, but I've tried the pickle jar, fish fritters, mix-and-match skewers, and veggie tostada. The pickles have good variety (I'm a pickle fanatic, so I was very pleased). The fish fritters are crispy and crunchy on the outside, hot and tender on the inside - a good option for comfort food on a Friday or any colder night. The skewers have some fun variety (chicken hearts anyone?) We tried all three options and enjoyed, though the hearts were a tad dry. The sausage was juicy and succulent. The mushrooms are a nice light contrast.
The space has a decent amount of chairs at the bar, standing room, and tables table/booths similar to something you might see in a tapas bar (as in, you might end up sharing a table with some other people), all in a warm wood. The ceiling is a little lower than most bars and gives the impression that you're in your childhood friend's rec room in the basement. Plenty of TVs for sports games, but they cover them when there's nothing on. I appreciate this because there's no conversation killer like a TV show with no sound.
I've had a couple friends visit from Milwaukee and always take them here. They always want to go back on their next visit to Madison. This is a great addition to the co
