| - Descriptive phrase: Regent Street's neighborhood bar.
Jordan's Big Ten Pub will always hold a special place in my heart, and my gut. I've been here more times than I could count over the years. It's an unassuming bar from the street, but it's pretty large inside and holds prime real estate.
Friday fish frys are great, pub food is standard, and I'm partial to their chili. The clientele can vary greatly day to day, even hour to hour. Weekends can be packed with the boomers reliving their Badger glory days, weeknights see college kids throwing them back, and football gamedays...try to smoosh in the parking lot through the thousands of other people there.
The bartenders are always friendly and accomodating, and are eager to get on a first-name basis for regulars. The beer is always cheap and the other specials are worthwhile.
There are TV's everywhere, even in some booths. I love that they have a small pool table ($1.50) and two dart boards ($1/person).
Jordan's is exactly what a bar should be: inviting, friendly, and cheap. Is it a destination bar? No. But if you're a local and want a place to hang out with friends, Jordan's has you covered. Hands down my favorite bar in Madison.
