Possibly my favorite bar in Madison..because it's so much more than a bar. It can really be whatever you'd like it to be. Want to get trashed? Go for it. Want to meet new people? Go for it. Want to bring a group of friends? Go for it. It has great events all the time from karaoke to live music! It's not a dive bar so you're not going to find super cheap drinks here but its worth paying a little more to actually have fun with live music and usually friendly staff and customers. Noise level REALLY varies here depending on what is going on but because the venue is so big, you can even go upstairs and hear someone talk in most situations. It even has pool and darts.
