We stopped here for a drink after spending the day in downtown Madison. Dexter's is definitely a neighborhood joint, but the drinks and food are way above par. I would go out of my way to stop here even if I didn't live in the area. The beer menu is extensive and they usually have a few drafts on special. The food menu is your typical bar food but turned up a notch. You can tell the ingredients are real rather than frozen from a bag.
We ordered the large old world pretzel, which comes with three sauces/mustards. We tried the stoneground, deuseldorf, honey mustard and beer cheese sauce. My favorite was the deuseldorf and stoneground, but I'm a mustard girl.
Word on the street is that their Friday fish fry is out of this world, which I have yet to try, but it is on my bucket list.
