The malt house is definitely my favorite place to drink a few beers in Madison. They have such a wide selection of craft brews that's never disappointing. There are no TVs, pool tablse, or any entertainment because the place is suppose to give off an old school vibe, but it's a great place to have a conversation and relax.
The bartenders are very friendly and can answer any questions about the beers, which is impressive because of their huge selection.
