Best music venue in Madison (it's a low bar, but hey...) They've done a great job of making the space flexible, so I imagine it would be dramatically different depending on the kind of event you go to (seated show, standing room, dance floor...).
My experience at the more low-key events: finally, a place I can go to actually hear the music, rather than people shouting over the music. Good sound, comfortable seating, great lines of sight throughout. They even have wait staff who can bring you drinks so you don't have to climb through a crowd.
The enormous balcony is comfortable (bench seating and tables), and the huge upstairs bar is convenient -- this is where the folks not as interested in the show can hang out and chat!
Great experience with the owners/managers too, they really seem to have their act together in terms of communication and marketing.
A couple of quibbles:
- I'd love to see a better selection of beers on tap (but the Goose Island IPA, in bottles, is outstanding!)
- Please please please quit serving drinks in plastic cups. Seriously, you're going to dump my top-shelf scotch into a plastic cup? For the taste, for the aesthetics, for the environment -- knock it off!
