| - Tonight, I was down on state street and I googled "reuben sandwich Madison, WI." What came up first? The Cooper's Tavern. And let me tell you, the divine direction of the Google gods did not disappoint this girl.
I ordered the reuben sandwich with Belgian frites on the side and magner's apple cider on tap. The reuben is as good as they say. The flavors of corned beef, swiss, sauerkraut, and dressing blend to perfectly proportioned perfection. It's mellow, smokey, heaven on toasted rye bread.
Here's the clincher: the sauerkraut is marinated in scotch. That's what sets the flavors over the top.
I don't think I'll order the Magner's again. Just not a fan.
On ambiance: it's long, narrow, warmly lit with candles. Everyone is seated close together. Due to the sandwich being so yummy, I'm sufficiently distracted from the guy at the bar yelling like a caveman at the Reds game.
