Stopped back in again to OBT while in town for work... Good, but not as good as the last time…read morearound. OBT still has that same cool laid back small town watering hole vibes... The service was alright (not bad, but nothing special this go), the food was good except the wings that were very rubbery, and they have a great tap and bottled beer selection. It was Taco Tuesday ($2.50 tacos), so I think every local schooner in Madison was there for dinner. Apparently a bunch of restaurants in town are closed on Tuesdays, but OBT is not one of them. Overall, good but not great... Cool place though, so I'll come back again when in town.

I did half a glass of the 2-a-days lemon IPA (this beer is sooo refreshing & perfect for the summer) and I had the rest of the glass of the Mangonero IPA which has just a tiny kick of spice that adds a nice flavor without overdoing it. The Morning Workout Coffee Stout was also sooo good!! They have a nice little courtyard if you want to hang outside, games, and a small kitchen (we didn't get food as the kitchen was closed). Overall, I would recommend & wish I was closer because the beer was

The fruited flavors are blond beers, and not those nasty tart beers. Our food selection of pretzels bits and crab Rangoon were delicious too. Get an order of their ranch sauce, it's good on anything. Food was ready in less than ten minutes after ordering, staff is nice. They have daily/weekly events.

We tried a couple glasses of wine and were very impressed! Both the sweet and dry wine we got…read morewere fantastic! The charcuterie board was very tasty and we loved the dragon cheese (I forget the full name of it lol). We liked the other two cheeses as well, especially when one of them warmed to room tamp. The bread was good and the salami was very tasty. I liked the spicy one the most! The atmosphere was super nice and tavern like, I know they have live music which is cool. There was even things to keep our toddler busy and I loved the section with the church pews that allowed us to keep him in a someone controlled area.

Stopped by here to see what a Thursday was like at OLOPH…read more They were having a pinball tournament going on. They say that's a weekly Thursday event and many die hard fans. Just hung out a bit and had a brew. The Octoberfest was brewed there and was really good. One of the best I've had locally so far. Lexi was our barmaid and was an absolute delight to have wait on us. We had some good conversations as we visited and had a brew. Being so hot as it was they had it breezy inside making the visit comfortable. Ended up taking a growler of Octoberfest home with us.

Do not pass go, and get your $200 ready because if you enjoying trying new bourbons, you will want to go here and try EVERYRHING. Mad props to the Bartender for an innovative The Colonel Old Fashion. I never once felt awkward here - in fact, the regulars were super welcoming (it felt a bit like a bourbon twist on Cheers). This place is quaint and fun with a speakeasy ambiance and a selection of spirits that will make any Bourbon lover drool

Stopped by Atrium Brewery in Norton Commons and had a solid experience. The location is really nice…read moreand easy to get to, which makes it a great spot to hang out. I liked that they have TVs upstairs, gives you a good place to catch a game or just relax for a bit. The space is a little on the smaller side, so it can get crowded pretty quickly, especially during busier times. That said, the overall vibe is still good and the crowd adds some energy. Drinks were reasonably priced too, I paid $6 for a pint which felt fair. Overall a great place to stop in for a drink, just be ready for a tighter space when it fills up.

The bourbon salmon ($24.99) was fine, just a little dry. I liked the flavor of the mashed potatoes, but they were only luke warm. I substituted roasted carrots for the collard greens, but got charged 0.99 for it apparently. Service was fine. We arrived a bit early for our reservation and they said we would have to wait a bit, but then we were seated within a minute. Server was attentive to our table. She did notice after she brought my wife's wine to the table that it was incorrect. She left it and promptly got the correct one. Ambiance was fine. It's a large venue and the outdoor campus is pretty cool. We were seated in a booth. The booth itself seemed a tad worn. They also have a lot of glass on the west wall, which allowed the sun to shine in, but also made it a tad blinding when turning that direction. Overall, it was good, but not amazing. It is conveniently located to the music venue that is just a bit south of it across the highway.

Same beautiful drive up to the restaurant/distillery, but the positive ends there. Went on Friday afternoon for lunch and the deck was closed, we think because it was drizzling, which was unfortunate because you want to enjoy the scenery. The menu was lackluster and so was our food and service. I see the allure of coming here, it seemingly offers so much. Not this time. We will skip next time we are in town.
