Unmanageably overcrowded despite the large space with mediocre bar food and a large selection of beers. We waited for 20 minutes for a table Saturday night. Our server was well meaning but clearly not trained to be professional, it took over 10 minutes for her to stop by our table and ask what we wanted (and she never came back to ask if we wanted more drinks later). Many of the beers on the menu were unavailable ("we had a busy night"). I had a recommended porter but it was way too watery for me. The shared quesadilla was below average, ingredients carelessly thrown together. This was my first fried cheese curd for which Madison is famous but it was nothing to write home about, just greasy fried cheese with rather too thick and hard batter. Wings were average.
This is the sort of place that gives bar food a bad rep. Use if you don't care about food but only drinks.
