    Just a nice older neighborhood restaurant and bar with friendly patrons and staff. Good burgers and apps served quickly! Just off of University Avenue with there own parking lot, great place for lunch! We had the fried pickle and mushrooms with 3 dipping sauces, ranch, dill, garlic aioli all tasty.

    Great service. Great food. Great prices. Pool table is gone. Ski ball and all other pinball machines are wiped out. So disappointing!!! We came here as a family to wait out the rain for a concert nearby and ONLY chose this place based on our past experience here playing games upstairs while waiting for our food. I really want to give this place 4 stars for their reasonable food options -- but they need to take on some major TLC, repairs and REPLACE gaming equipment that it advertised to be there.

    Love the beer selection at this place! This is a local hotspot in Madison and it's clear to see why. It's location is ideal because it's near WVDL and the UW hospital. The hours here accommodate both locations so you get a lot of nursing people and lab techs that stop by here. The beer selection is really great and the place is clean and well kept. However, I am not really a fan of their food items which are bland tasting. A better food selection would definitely bring more people in. Still a great place to grab a beer.

    Awesome dive bar that never disappoints. It's typically packed, and they have limited capacity but get through people pretty quickly. The burger was a solid beef patty that was cooked well and the bun had a nice fluff to it and wasn't too dry. Who doesn't love waffle fries?!

    Came to Madison for a work trip and we arrived late in the evening, this bar and grill was located across the street from our hotel. We had to try their cheese curds, I think I just got a grilled cheese and a cider because it was so late. Fairly priced, my boss got his wine and a salad. We saw that they have a fish fry for lunch so we came back during the week for lunch. They didn't have walleye though but service is quick, they have an upstairs and downstairs, along with outside seating. I had so many cheese curds during this trip. Food was decent.

    Stopped by on a beautiful summer weeknight and snagged a table out along the curb. They also have a bigger seating area on the side in the parking lot. We had heard from friends that this was THE place for burgers and curds (another of the many neighborhood joints like this around town) so we gave it a try. Our waiter seemed new (very common these days) because while prompt he was forgetful. We had to ask multiple time for different items. We started with the curds - they were typical for around here - nothing special. I tried the bacon cheeseburger while tasty it was overcooked. I asked for medium rare and it was medium well and a bit dry (could have been worse). The toasted bun was very good. My mate ordered the sockeye salmon sandwich and she gave it a big thumbs up. She asked for medium rare and it was medium rare. One out of two... Prices were reasonable esp the $2.50 for a Blatz (OK that maybe too high!). They now take credit cards which I understand was not true in the past - supposedly a positive change due to Covid.

    If I order a burger for takeout with bacon. And I pay for bacon. I expect bacon. Food is typically good bacon or not.

    Came here for my birthday with the girls and had a fun time! The space was clean, trendy and open…read more There are a total of 6 simulators (1 in a private room) and many sports options, to my surprise! The simulator rate is $20/hour (weeknight rate). Plenty of seating at the bar--along with a lounge'y space with a cute backdrop for photo-ops! I recall four beers on tap, and no drink specials. However, the menu did have a variety of "upscale" bar food! We ordered a fair amount but I only remember eating the curds (3/5) and fried green beans (5/5), which was my fave! PROS: I loved that we were able to try a variety of activities at our own pace! Each area had seating, enough for 6-7 people (sofas or bar stool/counter). Alcohol wipes were available. Music level was good and lighting slightly dimmed--great ambience! We got to chat with Collin (the owner) about his vision and learned that the simulators can pretty much play anything! This means events held here can be both adult AND kid-friendly--woo hoo! Just try not to bring a stroller here, as it's on the second floor with steep steps. Looking forward to more events here...and to what becomes of the outdoor space! CONS: We came on a Tuesday, so there was only one person working the bar + kitchen. Service was a slow as it got busy, and later into the night. There are only two private restrooms (which were nice and clean!). I can see this being a problem, especially for a place that can hold 100+ people. Will be back for more indoor fun!

We've booked a simulator for several birthdays and other special occasions. They have tons of games to choose from on the simulators; golf, baseball, basketball, zombie dodgeball, soccer, and more! It is so much fun when you get a good simulators! We've noticed that some simulators don't work as well or maybe aren't aligned. Some of the equipment they provide is faulty as well. When everything is working well, it's a 5/5 star experience! They also have food and drinks you can purchase while you are playing. I've only tried one of the appetizers but I haven't tried the rest of the food. The appetizer my group got was delicious and the drinks are always good as well. The bartenders and servers are wonderful as well. They are alway super helpful and friendly. They do have happy hour and other specials as well so keep an eye out for those. Overall, if they make sure the simulators are working properly and replace the broken equipment, 7 Iron would be a consistent 5/5 experience in my opinion.

Players Sports Bar & Grill is a fun, casual, cash ONLY, typical Wisconsin neighborhood dive bar nestled in the Atwood neighborhood of Madison, WI.

It seemed to be a diverse crowd of neighborhood locals, blue collar, younger folks, and just people having a great time! It's a great place when you are craving greasy, fried, delicious bar food, and snacks! They serve not only burgers, but cheese curds, wings, and lighter far like salads. They need a round of applause for coming up with some of the tastiest unique burger creations ever such as their Poker Ho Burger, Lotza Motza Burger, and Players Burger. My husband and I were blown away by the burgers! My favorite is their Big Daddy Burger with a side of onion rings and my husband's favorite is their Lotza Motza Burger with fries! The Big Daddy Burger is made with Bacon, Ham, Swiss & American Cheese with spicy garlic mayo. It is served hot, made fresh, juicy, made with a huge 1/2 pound well seasoned patty! The side of onion rings takes it to the next level being fried hard, crispy, golden brown, and hot out the grease! The Lotza Motza burger which is a super fun burger made with Deep Fried Mozzarella Sticks, Vito's garlic sauce, pepperoni & Mozzarella Cheese. Its like eating an appetizer and burger all in one! Players Sports Bar is your casual dive bar hooking you up with delicious bar food but don't expect sit down type of service or what you would expect for service at a restaurant. You have to order at the bar. Players Sport Bar is a great option if you are looking for a fun, casual dive bar serving up delicious rememberable burgers!

I know it's a dive bar, technically, but their website emphasizes the availability of cocktails. I was thrilled about the prospect of being able to order such a drink at a bar in Madison in general.

First pour looked like a pint they'd serve you in Dublin -- bartender poured it, let it rest, topped it off. Outcome: unblemished white foam, domed above the rim of the 20 oz., G-split-friendly Guinness glass, stopping above the harp. First sip smooth, not a hint of bitterness, drank easy all the way down, light foam coating most of the empty glass. Just how you'd draw it up. Fluke? Had to find out, so I ordered a second, same as above. Heat check? Got a third (stopping back in after the game to wait out traffic), and it was same as above. Sláinte! One visit to a new place does not make it the king of pours in town -- maintaining the lines, having enough staff to know the proper pour, etc., but Jay's is off to a solid start toward finally getting us a proper pour on the campus side of downtown.
