I think I'll hold all Irish pubs to this standard. I had an excellent time, and an excellent dinner of bangers and mash. Excellent decor... it felt historic. Great service, and the other patrons (looked like it attracted many of the suit-wearing capitol types) weren't loud or obnoxious on a Wednesday night. I know I'd stop in there at least a few times per year if I still lived in Madison. It's in a pretty convenient location downtown.
