Monk's Bar & Grill was a fun bar and grill to visit on a Friday night. I came out to stay a night…read morein Madison, WI, to break up my road trip and this looked like a great spot to watch hockey playoffs. It wasn't crazy busy at 7pm and the staff looked like they were enjoying their guests and time. They had all kinds of sports on, and had the Brewers baseball game playing overhead. There was a good crowd of people in good spirits. I ordered a blackened chicken cilantro lime rice bowl and later ordered some fried pickle spears. Great food! The rice bowl had a lot of flavor. With the lime squeezed over the top and added salsa, it was extremely tasty. The pickle spears were seasoned in the batter and the spicy ranch it came with was really good. I'd recommend Monk's to a sports fan looking for some quick bar food and games to watch. I'd come back to try a famous burger or some wings!

The vibe is trendy and fresh. It was busy when we first arrived, so we waited a little to use the bays, but we just ponied up to the bar and enjoyed a beverage while catching up with old friends. Once our bay opened up, we headed over and started warming up. The bartenders were very friendly, and they checked on us often. We hadn't had dinner, so we ordered the giant pretzel and the ultimate nachos. Both were delicious! The pretzel was very good - it came with beer cheese and mustard that had a slight cinnamon taste to it that made it really tasty. We enjoyed a few moscow mules with our appetizers. Long green couches line the ends of the hitting bays, as well as a coffee table and some high top tables and chairs. There is plenty of room for your party, and the only complaint I have is that it would be nice if there were bag stands - I felt like all of our golf bags were in the way a bit. Otherwise it's very spacious and open! When you step up to hit the ball, there are easy to use buttons that mechanically put the ball on the tee for you. You can then knock it down if you want to hit off the mat and/or putt. I like that there are also buttons if you want to move the tee up and down, and you can use the computer screen to aim when putting to take into account any break. It really is simple to use and very fun! Next time I will probably check out the Middleton location instead, as it's closer to me, but overall this is in a great area and I highly recommend it!

Went here for fish fry last week…read more Now, it's a bowling alley in Wisconsin. Even at their worst, Wisco bowling alleys' fish frys are usually pretty good, and Prairie Lanes is no exception. The service was quick. The fish fry was standard Wisco fare--no complaints. My daughter got one of their sandwiches, and while it won't knock your socks off, there was nothing wrong with it at all. My only real knock was the beer. I ordered my standard, go-to beer--Blue Moon (stop judging me, I like it)--and it was not great. The tap ratio was off, and it came out more like a beer-tasting water than an actual beer. It wasn't bad enough to make me complain, but it wasn't great. It might have just been an off-night for that tap. I'm not sure. I'll definitely go back to Prairie Lanes, though. Nothing wrong with it. It is a good, solid, standard Wisconsin bowling alley bar/restaurant.

Loved the slaw, the curds were so yummy and the cinnamon roll was awesome. I don't believe this was USDA choice ribeye, huge fat stripe in 2 and medium rare was light pink and hot. I didn't complain but didn't eat any of the first ribeye and the waitress noticed I didn't eat any or want to take it to go. She said they want to make it right, but the next one was super thin, medium well, and full of huge stripes of fat. I wanted to really love this place.
