| - I spend a lot of time in Union South, and I've eaten at The Sett several times. The burgers are pretty good, as is the catfish sandwich. Each sandwich is made to order, so there's often a wait to get your food - definitely not outlandish, by any means. Try the garlic fries with Sett sauce on the side - so simple, but so addictive! The bar has a pretty expansive selection of tap beers, too. There's three tiers of beers (for price differentiation) with a pretty good representation of Wisconsin craft beers. Try one by Capital Brewery (Middleton, WI) or New Glarus (New Glarus, WI) for a taste of something local.
The Sett is also a fun spot to hang out - there's plenty of seating (booths, tables, high tops) and lots to watch. You can watch people climb up a rock wall, play some pool, and listen to live bands, depending on the time of day. There's more pool, the entrance to the rock wall, and bowling lanes downstairs for the adventurous/active set.
When it's nice outside, take your burger and beer to one of the tables just outside The Sett - it's a nice way to enjoy the outdoor side of Union South and a great way to people watch! One of my favorite places to pass the time in Madison.
