| - I'm a sucker for nostalgia. That's why I make sure to hit the Nitty on every visit to Madtown. I celebrated many a birthday here as a Badger and have definitely indulged my fair share of Power Hours. Like many of Madison's eateries, the Nitty has a vast tap selection with an emphasis on local breweries like Ale Asylum and New Glarus. If you're a beer fan--and if you're reading this in WI, you probably are--you gotta go.
While many come here just for power hour, the eats are really as good as it gets in terms of pub food. The deep fried cheese curds are always a hit, and even the nachos are stellar. Oh, and while many would be quick to disagree with me, I think the Nitty might do the best burgers in Madison. Better than Dottie's, Brickhouse, or even The Old Fashioned. The Nitty's burgers are always juicy, and there are maybe twenty of them to choose from. My personal favorite is the Pretzel Bender, which comes topped with a godly slice of Wisconsin cheddar, homemade pretzel mustard, and a massive onion ring. Whatever burger you get though, make sure to get a side of Nitty Sauce with it. It's essentially a creamier, fattier Thousand Island. So bad for you..but so good.
A trip to Madison isn't complete without a stop at the Nitty Gritty. Eating there will make you feel like you're in college all over again.
