I've been waiting for a while to try 1847 and the opportunity presented itself when I was going to meet a girlfriend for drinks and she lives in Middleton so perfect! It was too cold to sit outside so we headed to the upstairs bar. I immediately liked the atmosphere...the old farmhouse vibe and decor was very welcoming. We had some drinks- I stuck with beer and they had good choices on tap. My friend opted for a few types of mixed drinks which she said were just ok. I saw a lot of good looking dishes come out of the kitchen but opted for the burger. It was delicious- one of the best I've had since moving to Madison. I would definitely recommend this place and will def be back!
