I don't really hang out at bars a whole lot, but that being said; Mickey's is my favorite bar in Madison to hang out at. On nights that there isn't live music it is fairly low key and generally full of friendly (and attractive) people. The service is good, the food is really tasty (especially the coleslaw and sexy fries), the atmosphere is great, and they have just enough beers that it doesn't take me forever to decide what I want. The best part about the place really is the atmosphere though. The decor, the couches, the back patio, the lighting; it all just works.
