    Broccolini soup
    Angela S.

    Quaint little corner-ish bar in the middle of downtown Regent street. Got the sour cream and chive potato wedges for an app, which came out piping HOT and fast. Great seasoning! Ordered the soup and half sandwich special for $6!!! Soup was good flavor but the consistency was chalky, you can tell it was on too hot and milk had split. Sandwich was perfectly grilled and served with a pickle. Nice portions for how extremely reasonable. Servers were helpful and quick, they both helped each other and had a good time behind the bar.

    Went for the $6 soup and half sandwich & it did not disappoint. I do think that it might only be on Sunday's since it was on the separate Sunday menu. I had the broccoli cheddar and it was amazing. My BF got the chicken chili. He said it was good just a lot of large chunks of tomato so if your a fan of that, it's for you. The parking situation wasn't the best. They do have about 8/9 parking spots on property but it is very, very hard to get out. The drink selection is pretty small for a "pub", but what they have is affordable.

    Cajun walleye with potato pancake

    I was there for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The place was busy and noisy. But there were plenty of seats available. I went with a cajun walleye with potato pancakes. Cajun walleye was a lot less flavorful than I would like. I think next time, I would go for cod or bluegil. Potato pancakes were good. I went for a clam chowder soup. This is the best clam chowder I had in Madison. It was thick and flavorful.

    Chicken chili with half turkey sandwich

    My rating is for the food. We came for a weekday lunch. My suggestion is get there early! There are a few off-street parking spots to grab (but only if you're early). Big row of cozy booths make you almost forget you're in a college bar. They have daily food specials, so check them out on their website. I ordered the half sandwich and soup combo for only $6.00. Their chicken chili was surprisingly spicy. I would say Medium+ spicy, not mild. I tried the turkey half sandwich toasted. It was fine. Next time I will also add a side salad when ordering this combo. My husband adored the smoked brisket and cheese sandwich! It was super big and very tasty! He definitely would order it again and again. His side of Pub chips were addicting as well. Yum!

    My husband & I keep going back to Jordan's Big Ten Pub yet to be disappointed! :) Parking is not the greatest with limited parking but continues to be a great local WI neighborhood sports bar! Nothing fancy but it is a phenomenal place for great food, great drink specials, friendly staff, & fun times! We came back & tried their Cajun dusted shrimp popcorn as an appetizer which was absolutely delicious being crispy & nicely seasoned with Cajun seasoning. My husband & I were play fighting over who would get the last handful of popcorn shrimp! Jordan's Big Ten Pub garlic ribeye steak sandwich with a side garden salad! The sandwich was excellent being topped with fried onions, mushrooms, garlic aioli, greens on a french roll with me adding cheese on it! They were able to cook the ribeye steak medium well for me. I was worried steak would be dry but it was cooked perfectly and was super tender and juicy! Jordan's Big Ten Pub is now one of our favorite sports bars in Madison!

    Some of the driest wings I've ever had! Even others who got sauce agreed they were over cooked and not enjoyable.

    Fish fry with wild rice

    Been trying to move my many possessions out of my place these past few weeks, and after several sweaty back breaking hours we always find ourselves at none other than Jordan's Big Ten Pub. This is your quintessential Wisco Pub: complete with sports bar, outdoor patio and cozy booths. Maybe it's missing that random sand volleyball court but, hey--it's got quality food to make up for it. First time we went on a Sunday. They had a sandwich and soup special for $5.25 and it was a very decent meal. I went with turkey and Swiss with chicken chili and my mom went with the chicken and rice. Both soups and sandwiches were great. Exactly what you'd expect and you can't beat the price. Next time was on a Friday which means Fish Fry. We got the Beer Battered Cod and Cajun Buttered Peel N Eat Shrimp. Both excellent- reign supreme. And the soup that comes with is Clam Chowder which also reigns supreme. Like this is some real good hefty seafood. We had a different server each time we went but they were both so friendly and attentive. TLDR: you won't forget this fish fry. Really all their specials seem unbeatable but the fish fry tho. Or really any of their other food.

    Fun times!

    Who else had a great Fourth of July weekend?. This is been one of the more fun Fourth of July me and my family got to spend some time together and then I went out with my brothers to Jordan's Big Ten pub. I'm definitely recommended if you were a out of town or or something in the area and you wanted to go to the place where you could watch some sports and drink some beers. This is definitely the spot. I wouldn't recommend it if they didn't sell my favorite Budweiser I really wouldn't go to any bar that doesn't have Budweiser. I'd spend more time describing it, but I am running to work now and I just remembered because I walked by it on my way to McDonald's. Plenty of parking the staff is nice. I mean the food is delicious too prices are fair and that's about it.

    House Burger
    Ericka B.

    Went here for lunch on a Wednesday for Burger Week. There was a pretty good lunch crowd on the day, but we were still able to pick our own seats. The waiters/waitresses were super prompt to come get drink orders and food orders. We ended up getting the house burger and the special Old Fashioned Burger. The house burger comes with red onions, Muenster, pickles, and a house sweet red chili aioli. All the components made for a well-balanced burger that I would definitely order again. They all grilled it to the perfect medium. The special burger had house cured brandy and orange bacon, brie cheese, and a branded cherry compote. It was a tasty burger, but I could have used a little more punch of old fashioned. Maybe a little more cherry compote would have done the trick. I was impressed that you did get some of the orange flavor from the bacon though. Overall tasty food and good atmosphere. They know what they're doing on the grill.

    The Coopers Tavern is a local pub-style restaurant in downtown Madison that has the neighborhood…read morevibe combined with a rustic-almost European energy, which makes sense when you learn the owner is from Ireland! The menu is filled with elevated pub food, a few classics and then a few twists on those very classics. Come hinge, because the menu is carb-driven, so be ready to eat! To start, we went with the poutine, because why not! The fries were crispy, gravy was velvety and the curds were firm, yet melty enough for a good cheese pull! For our mains, we both went sandwiches. I went with the Celtic Burger, which is their standard burger with added caramel iced onion, whiskey bacon jam, Irish cheddar and a garlic aioli. The burger was good and cooked well, but it was less impressive than I expected given all the goods they added to it. While the aforementioned additions sound like a flavor bomb, it was still fairly one note in overall flavor. It was still tasty, but again, not as expected. My buddy went with the corned beef sandwich. He enjoyed it, no major issues! I did appreciate that exchanging fries with fried curds was an option, especially after loaded up on fries as a starter. The curds were well fried, pillowy and quite tasty. Perfect side for sure! In addition to the food, they are known for their bar offerings so you know we had to grab a few cocktails! I went with the Golden Dew and my buddy the Old Fashioned. Golden Dew was delightful, however the old fashioned was a bit sweet, but that's possibly the brandy. Service was great. We walked in and hit the wait list, however was able to scoop up a few seats at the bar before our table was ready. The bartenders were friendly, helpful and an overall joy to interact with. Overall, definitely a fan of The Coopers Tavern! When back in Madison, I would certainly swing by again!

I Yelped bourbon bars, and found Erin's Snug just down the street from our hotel. I had hoped to have corned beef and cabbage, but was told they were out. Ugh. So I settled for a Reuben. (I looked at him quizzically when he told me they could still make this, but he said the corned beef was prepared a different way. It was kind of shredded.) This wasn't optimal for my low-carb diet, but I pulled off most of the bread and went with it. It was okay, but not great. Kind of disappointing. My Maker's Mark Manhattan, on the other hand, was quite tasty. My husband had the stew, and said it was very good. It came with a large piece of bread on top, maybe soda bread, and was served in a large bowl, Other than the bartender making a joke about how they wouldn't put the Bears game on because this was Packers country (as it turns out, he's from Buffalo), and being oddly out of corned beef and cabbage, the evening was nice.
