    My only complaint was that they don't serve food:( The staff was really nice and you get plenty of time to throw. The facilities are nice and clean and they have other games you can play to chill and socialize. They have coolers where you can purchase drinks.

    I came for my birthday celebration not knowing what to expect. I was greeted promptly by a fun casual group of staff that was helpful in getting us started. While they do offer food at Madison Axe you are more than welcome to carry in FOOD. They do have a decent selection of canned adult beverages available, in addition to a few coke products and liquid death water. Once you get your lane. You have a staff member show you the ropes, walk you through the games, axe safety, and of course general throwing techniques. Your time slot on the lane is 75 minutes. And now the rest of the story... aka. My personal findings and tip.... - If you sign up online, save yourself time, and fill out your release waiver ONLINE (Less you have to do when you get there, especially if you or a member of your party is running late) - While you can have up to 6 throwers in a lane you can have more in your party, it just isn't the best experience, but it is allowed. -while you are allowed to have food delivered, timing is everything, save yourself, bring it with you. Now my observations..... if you call it that. - This may be picky on my part, and I get it, space is a precious thing, but it would have been nice if the lane tables were staggered rather than perfectly aligned with eachother. Makes for a crowded situation when all the lanes are full. - The swag area.... Maybe I was missing it, but show me the prices!!! CLEARLY! I don't want to hunt for the price of a tshirt or a can koosie. If the prices are marked I don't have to stop staff from doing something just to tell me how much something is. -On check out, where's the upsell? No one asked if I WANTED any swag, no one asked me if I WANTED to book another time ( Not to say I won't come back... which I TOTALLY will) We had an amazing time, the staff was helpful, and accommodating. While even though the policy is to no go long we were able to go a couple extra minutes since our party was so late getting together. THANK YOU staff! You rock!

    We had such an amazing time! Emily and Jenna were amazing, they provided great service! They helped you work on your throw, explain all of the game options, and they do it all with a smile! Couldn't ask for a better time, will be coming back!

    A group of friends and I decided to give axe throwing a shot. We weren't quite sure what to expect on this adventure! Madison Ace staff are so friendly and welcoming. They make sure you feel comfortable from start to finish and even have a dedicated person there to go over the rules and safety measures as well as coach you along the way. Each lane can have up to 6 people but I would say that is a bit crowded. Our group was at that max and know knowing the space a little better, I would recommend booking two lanes next to each other and splitting it up. This allows for more playing time and space. The mere are varying digital game boards to choose from for axe throwing too. They have a traditional target that moves the bullseye, duck hunter, candy crush, tic tax toe and others. Before or when you are done with axe throwing they have several other games to choose from including lawn shuffle boards, bags, lawn beer pong and other games. My favorite part was that you can order or bring food in. They even offered to put up a separate table for us. This is a wonderful spot to go for a date, birthday, other events or a fun night out. I would go back...even though I wasn't that good!

    A variety of challenging games made it even more fun!

    The instructors/bar tenders helped me go from being a horrible axe thrower to successfully nailing the throw.

Tried the (only on Friday) perch. My order came with four nice-sized perch pieces, potato choice, roll and coleslaw. The beer-battered perch was out-of-this-world outstanding! Incredibly fresh and tender, with a nicely seasoned crust. So good! A+++

The patio is perfect in the summer, and the inside is warm and cozy in the winter. The food is consistently excellent. Their rotating specials are a huge highlight. Last night I had their fried chicken and it was outstanding -- the breading was crisp, light, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they put care into everything they serve. Their other specials like the Nashville chicken sandwich, ribs, and Friday fish fry are always worth checking out too. Desserts are always a win here, so I try to save room. Drinks are solid as well with plenty of beer and cocktail options. The only downside is parking. The lot fills up fast, so you may end up on the street if you arrive later. But honestly, the food and atmosphere make it more than worth it. Easily one of my favorite spots in Madison.

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.

There are plenty of to go options in the cooler and they often have events like trivia. The indoor space is cute with an open concept surrounding their brewing equipment and hanging plants with cozy dim lighting, and the outdoor patio is nice in the summer especially to bring dogs. They have slowly been improving their food offerings over time. I usually get one of their crunch wraps but tried the chicken club this time and it was delicious, as were the fries! It did get a little messy at the end since there is a lot in between the bread, but it was worth it. There could have been more aioli on the sandwich but I just asked for a side of it and used it for both that and my fries which was perfect. The background music has always been great and the staff have always been lovely.
