    Absolutely love Wednesday dancing and socials with Luis Armacanqui…read more Wednesday beginner Latin dance lessons and intermediate dance lessons now run simultaneously at 7:30 pm typically alternating salsa & bachata. Wednesday March 20, 2024 was Bachata, Wednesday March 27, 2024 will be Salsa Sometimes Luis will mix it up but it's always posted on his capitol social Facebook page There are three dance floors to choose from. Near the bar, in front of the DJ booth which has a great location, and a little behind the DJ booth. The bar floor is typically sticky & often has tiny pieces of glass that drag on the shoe so don't wear your favorite shoes. There tile and wooden floors usually aren't sticky and usually do not have glass on them but anything can happen. The front door men are great. The bartenders are great. The ladies room has been in good shape each time I've gone. We appreciate them greatly for helping Capitol Social host their weekly dance lessons.

    The manager "Sean" (name given by employee) was very unprofessional and terrible to us . We waited…read morein line at the FRONT for 1hr in a thunder/lightning storm. I understand being at capacity but there was no communication. After we were finally let in after 1hr, my boyfriend expressed to ME in our OWN PERSONAL conversation that this was not done well and management should've dome better. Sean, the manager, stated "if you don't like our management, leave.". This is absolutely unacceptable for a manager. If you hear your guests having a bad experience, the managerial and professional thing to do is make it right. We love sottos but this response was so unprofessional. After my boyfriend spoke to her and let her know it's nothing personal, it was just disappointing, Sean FLICKED her MIDDLE FINGER at him. I've never experienced something so unprofessional. I voiced my concerns to a female employee (Hispanic with frizzy hair) and asked to speak with the manager and was met with a laugh. We will not be back after this experience and we will spread awareness on your treatment to paying customers.

    As far as bars go, it was decent. It had plenty of room, the music wasn't overpowering and the…read moredrinks were not overladen with alcohol (some gay bars are 90% alcohol, 10% soda or whatever. It would have been nice to have 2 bartenders working the main room during the WI Leather Pride event I'm not sure what happened but the bartender they had was literally running the whole time trying to keep up. The parking lot is a mess. I mean, literally a mess. The pavement was uneven, broken and needs some maintenance. I hope they have that on their future improvements. It might sound I didn't enjoy FIVE but I did. I kind of wish we had more of these in the Twin Cities.

    I REALLY LOVE THE FAMILY FRIENDLY DRAG SHOWS!!! They hold them once a month, usually on a weekend…read morefrom 7-9pm. And politely ask for families to close tabs & exit for the next adult drag show to start at 9:30pm. I really want this place to continue its offerings so hear me out (below) on why I chose a low star review). Drinks are super reasonable, just as other review posted. And bar staff (and everyone else there for that matter) are extremely friendly and respectful. They offer free popcorn on the backside of the bar (help yourself)! And pizza for the late night cravings. The reason for my 3 stars (should really be 2 but I truly want to promote this place in hopes they keep it going and can pay for a deep cleaning... lol). I get it's a late night spot, but I'm very conscious when it comes to bathrooms. I don't think these have been cleaned in years. If they weren't half as bad as they were at 7pm -- I'd be willing to give it 3.5 stars. Clean them up right and I'd give it an EASY 5 stars. I hope the owners/managers hear me out on this one!

Looks like it would be a fun place to hang out unfortunately that wasn't our experiences. Sharing Son's Review... We went to have some drinks but they refused to let me in saying my ID didn't look like me, they took my ID and refused to give it back. I called the next day and they still refused to return it. Two weeks later I decided to try again, Before I went we called law enforcement to find out the best way to go about getting my ID back, the police officer called The Reef to see if they had it, they did. I went to get it and the manager had an aditude and was trying to justify (contradicting herself while doing so) taking and keeping my ID instead of just giving it back. Even after we told her if an ID isn't returned with in 48 hours to the owner or law enforcement it's considered stealing, still with an aditude she finally went back and got it. Seriously didn't need to hear all her rambling. Just wanted my ID back.

    A nice little local spot that's a bit hidden. MadisonTap is classy without being pretentious…read more Disclaimer: I did not order food here so my review may be a bit biased. The bartender assured us that their vegan options were incredible. MadisonTap features many local Wisconsin beers on tap. They seem to often rotate the beers and keep a solid selection. MadisonTap was spacious with bar seats, tables, and booths available. The design and decor were well thought out. The crowd seems to be young professionals in their mid-20s to early 30s. I don't recall the beers I got here but I do remember prices being ~$7-10 range mark. The bartender and owner place special emphasis on being vegetarian and vegan friendly. Even one of the cocktails used vegan butter. There was a single bartender when I visited but it was a bit slow. We had a great conversation and watched Christmas movies on the projectors. Overall, solid experience. 5/5. Favorited in Madison, WI.

We entered from the front of the building. It looks like they feature a different brewery every month. The interior of the bar was pretty classy and new. Their patio was very cool and spacious. A great patio for evening drinks! The live music was pretty good too. Can't speak to the food however, since we didn't eat there.
