The Corral Room is perhaps downtown Madison's best kept secret. It's cocktail lounge beneath the Tornado Room that only opens after 9pm. The menu is mostly small plates and drinks. The lighting is intimate and the decor relies heavily on dark corners and draped curtains. The place simply oozes atmosphere and looks like something straight out of a David Lynch movie. It's hard to categorize the Corral Room Bar. It straddles the line of both divy and classy. Both seedy and romantic. If you're on a date and you REALLY want to impress someone, take them to the Corral Room.
P.S. I'm pretty sure this is the only place in madison where you can order escargot.
