One of the places we miss the most since we left Madison. You could say it's a little out of the way if you're hanging out downtown, but it's really easy to get to and more than worth it if you love beer, or just enjoy a cozy, friendly, usually quiet place to hang out and actually talk to friends instead of being packed into a crowd of college kids who love bad music and are total a-holes when you're waiting to get a drink.
Allegedly residing at the location of the oldest watering hole in the state, the ambiance here is just a bonus. Nice and warm inside during the long winters, and a nice outdoor space for the beautiful Wisconsin summers. The beer and whiskey selection is mind-blowing, with tons of bottles to choose from as well as a regularly rotating selection of taps from just down the street or across the globe.
