    Such a fun place to hangout. They had a great playlist and so many fun cocktails to try. The bartenders were great and the atmosphere is funky.

    Totally Whimsical! My partner came here for a drink before our last date night. Such a fun spot with eclectic decor! Madison needs more places like this! The vibes are spectacular, and make you just want to sink in and read a good book. I love this part of Madison!! The only thing to keep in mind, is that the drinks are a tad on the pricey side. Expect $12 plus for a small cocktail. They are definitely worth it, stop in, have a drink, then go out for dinner.

    Really cool little bar in Madison, WI. Had great fun drinks & great bartenders. Its very retro & cool. Nice quiet place for a drink with friends. I even tried to duplicate a yummy drink they serve with gin, elderflower liquor & orgeat (almond)

    Vibe.

    This place fills the void to a small but lovely extent left behind by the Barber's Closet that disappeared in the Hotel Washington fire so many years ago. The drinkmasters are really into their thing. A perfect place to have a thoughtful beverage with people you enjoy.

    I love this place. Right next to Settle Down, it's a cute quirky spot with amazing drinks, good vibes, and fun snacks! The Honey Coffee Martini and the House of Gucci Mane are two of my favorite drinks. A delicious espresso martini and a sweet brandy cocktail, respectively. Definitely recommend trying this place for a pre-dinner drink or after dinner night cap!

    If your junk drawer was the place where all your creative notions went to wait for that next dopamine spike, this is the party everything in that drawer is having. I was expecting the vibe to be disjointed, but it's totally on point. It's moody, it's fun, it's curious. Easy snacks, potent drinks, and friendly staff to throw around a joke or two, this could be my new hangout.

    I was in the area for something near the Majestic and came across this fun otter cozy spot. They have some freest unique twists on classic cocktails. I really enjoyed my old fashioned and if you don't see what you like just ask. They are more than willing to make you something not on the menu. Some snacks options available too. Super friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. Many of the ingredients are local and fresh. The basil was picked for their garden the same morning!

    Oz by Oz is a new downtown bar located next door from the Majestic Theatre. It's a small little bar that gives off a New Orleans vibe. I ordered three House of Gucci Manes which includes Amaro, Raspberry, Fino Sherry, pineapple juice, and lime. The service was amazing and I plan to frequent here more often.

    I was very impressed with the service and quality of beverages. I went to Oz with my girlfriend last week and the venue was completed booked on seating. The amiable waiter told us we could grab drinks at a nearby venue and he would notify us when seats were available. The waiter did follow through and provided us with lovely seats to enjoy some very unique cocktails. I really appreciated that level of service. The drinks were affordable priced ($10-$15 dollars per cocktail) and were pretty strong/flavorful (bang for your buck!). Overall, would recommend because of the service, chill/dim ambiance, and strong drinks.

    My favorite cocktails in in downtown Madison. Their freezer bloody mary is stunning and quite strong.

    Delicious Cocktails, cool atmosphere and amazing bartender, Erin! It's my first time in Madison and she took the time to give me awesome ideas of things to do and places to go around town! I will def be back into Oz by Oz!

    Yes! This is a fantastic cocktail bar. I let the server pick a drink for me. It was great. This is exactly what Madison needs! Go here!

    Very good craft cocktails and great atmosphere. The Oz was my favorite, popcorn was delicious and candles set the vibe.

    I was out and about, exploring Madison, and Merchant looked like a cool place to stop for happy…read morehour. I sat at the bar, and Mi took great care of me. I had dinner plans, so I just wanted to stop in for a drink and snack. They have some really good offers for HH and their cheese curds are half off. I had never had one, so it sounded like the perfect time to try. I got a glass of wine and the curds. They came out quickly, hot and fresh. It was a big bowl of fried cheese. They come with ranch and hot honey, and apparently they recently won best cheese curd at the cheese curd crawl. They were super tasty. Well seasoned, perfectly fried, and kind of chewy. I am not on the hot honey frenzy train, but I tried it and thought it paired well, just wasn't for me. The ranch was tasty though. Even the happy hour portion was hefty and I couldn't put down half. A little wine and cheese on a beautiful day, just makes for a good experience. They were making some pretty interesting cocktails behind the bar, and it is definitely worth coming back to try out their other options.

    Wanted to sit outside for dinner and came across Merchant. Waitress was quick to come over with…read moremenus and water. We started with the cheese board for $32.00. Let's say not the best board I've ever had. Very light on the cheese for the price. Wouldn't order again. Cheese curds were tasty. My husband at the steak which came rare had to return to cook more. The fries were over cooked. My son had the Mac n cheese with chicken that he enjoyed. We also ordered a salad which was fresh and tasty. The menu was small but a nice place to come and have a drink after work then move in for dinner.
