Small town dive bar heaven! Walk in to a shot gun room that goes waaaay back, a long dark wooded bar that goes about 3/4 of the waaaaay back, old copper ceiling tiles, dark brick walls, a flat top grill & deep fryer behind the bar, a jukebox and a gosh darned popcorn machine. This place is perfect. Not to mention the cheap beer & drinks. And, they serve one of the best bar burgers in the universe. We ALWAYS hit Shipley's when we're in Madison. Alas, they still allow smoking, but the place itself is clean including the restrooms.
