  • After reading a few of the Yelp reviews and seeing the menu when I first arrived I was concerned that this would be a menu driven cocktail lounge lacking any real creativity. Boy, was I wrong, and am I ever glad I was! The decor is urban chic with a soundtrack to match that ranged from hip hop to acid jazz and many alternative formats in between. As I scanned the booze behind the bar I saw what I thought were too many flavored vodkas, but then, who doesn't have too many flavored vodkas these days? The menu was also full of what sound like fruity, girly drinks and, my pet peeve, is called a martini menu (a martini is a cocktail, and this was a cocktail menu!). Fortunately, Marilyn, the bartender on duty, came to the rescue and patiently demonstrated that she and Opus have real cocktail chops. I ended up sampling three of the menu items, the Dill Collins, an interesting riff on the classic Tom Collins which was very refreshing on a warm summer evening, Next was the Royal Highness featuring Plantation rum and egg white among its ingredients. Yes, I said egg white, and when a bar is mixing cocktails with egg white they get my full attention! This drink evoked visions of tiki torches and tropical beaches for me. The third menu item was the Pimm'd Up Bondurant. Only the second cocktail I've seen anywhere using the venerable Pimm's No. 1 and it was delicious. I finished the night with an off menu drink from Marilyn that featured Laphroiag scotch, ginger and lemon flavors. Again, a homerun that has me wishing I had written down the recipe - but unfortunately, didn't. Bottom line is that if you're looking for good cocktails in Madison, look no further than Opus Lounge.
