| - I consider myself lucky to live within walking distance of one of my favorite bars in Madison. Coincidence? Oddly enough, not. The ambiance is great for catching up with friends or for a cozy date night. Dimly lit but not dark, lively enough but not obnoxious. You don't have to worry about your barmates getting distracted by tv's, but they certainly could be by the eclectic decor. Every time I'm in here I notice something I didn't see before, the colorful paint can lids hanging from a branch, neckties as wall art, a bobbing lil' head that rises and falls when the bathroom door opens. You know, the usual stuff. The staff is friendly and knowedgable, they have a very nice scotch & bourbon list and are able to offer great recommendations. If you roll in here around 10pm on a weekend you'll be hard pressed to find a seat and there's not a ton of standing-around room. I'm definitely looking forward to the summer when their outdoor back patio opens up (although I believe they also close it up on the early side, perhaps 10pm, due to being in a residential area).
BOTTOM LINE: Great service, drinks & ambiance. Even if I didn't live around the corner, It would be a safe bet that you could find me here.
