During a weekend trip to Madison last month, we were told we absolutely had to stop in at The Old Fashioned while we were there. We drove well out of our way to do so on a Sunday morning, but I can say that it was well worth the effort.
Despite it only being ten in the morning, and subsequently me feeling like an alcoholic, I had to try one of their many tap beer options. I chose a local brewery, one from just outside the city limits, but that which I cannot remember the name. At any rate, it perfectly complimented my omelet and home fries. I left there feeling very satisfied, wishing there was an Old Fashioned in the Twin Cities somewhere. C'est la vie, I guess. Also, the decor was amazing, a wonderful collection of beer signs and cool vintage artwork/posters. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the part of town and the university being nearby.
