    Buffalo fried cauliflower and loaded totchos
    Olivia B.

    I finally got around to Starkweather brewing co and it did not disappoint! I tried their hopnivore IPA and it was smooth, hazy, and light. It was perfectly balanced and oh so tasty. I also tried their loaded totchos and Buffalo cauliflower wings and everything tasted amazing! I was so impressed by how many vegetarian and gluten free options their menu had. Their beer menu was also very diverse and featured a good number of stouts as well as IPA's and lagers, they even had gluten free beers. The service was quick and efficient and everyone we spoke to at the bar was so lovely. The restaurant/brewery itself has ample seating, clean restrooms, and it was nice and toasty in there for a chilly afternoon. I will most definitely be returning so I can try more of their amazing beer/food.

    Tator tots and cheese curds

    My friend reserved a room and table here for her birthday. The staff was super nice and prompt. Everything was set up nicely and a couple minutes early. They had buffet style of chicken fingers, Tator tots, cheese curds, chicken wings, and pizza. The wings had 4 flavor sauces - ranch, bbq, sweet chili, and buffalo. The pizzas flavors included cheese, sausage, pepperoni, and more. My favorite was the garlic chicken! It was amazing. The room fill probably 16 people. There was also several more big tables outside the room. They had 3 IPAs- one orange, one Belgian, one hazy. The only stout was a nitro. They had 2 saisons and a sour. They also do $1 off kick the keg specials.

    Cauliflower wings and bingo!

    This spot has music bingo on Thursdays, and it is always such a fun time. They have a great selection of food, and a lot of on Thursdays. They have free music, bingo, and it is always a full house. I've also heard amazing things of their in-house cheesecake, but I haven't tried it yet. Great vibes, great staff, and always a great time!

    We visited last night with some friends to celebrate the brewery's two year anniversary. They had a special going on with ten guest stouts on top, so we went specifically for this event. I hadn't visited since April 2022 and was pleasantly surprised to find new offerings including delicious food! Our group ordered multiple items including the tatchos (aka nachos with tater tots instead of chips...yes please), cauliflower 'wings' aka fried cauliflower, and the chicken tenders. I could not believe how good all of it was! The chicken tenders came with one of the best sauces I've ever had, and the cauliflower was the perfect consistency. So many times I've had them overcooked and soggy, but not here!! All of the bartenders and food servers were super nice. Our table didn't have napkins on it, though, so we had to ask the bar for some which was a little strange. I'd think either have them on every table or at least offer them to customers that order food. Not a big deal, of course, just something I noticed. The guest beers were delicious, while their own beers were just okay. There were only five of them on tap because of this event, and I was told that when it is over they will go back to having 15 of their own beers on, so I'd like to visit then to give more of them a try. I do love that you can order a flight so you can try multiple things. They also have some seltzers and N/A options for non-beer and N/A drinkers. I really enjoyed the atmosphere as well, the decor is cute and I also like the large water jug in the corner. They currently do music bingo on Thursday nights so it got a little loud when that started, so we ended our evening shortly after that began. The parking lot in the back seems like a little bit of a free for all which was stressful in leaving as I was nearly parked in from all the bingo customers, so just beware of that if you use the lot!

    This unassuming building hides a chill local bar with a wide range of in-house brews and friendly service. They have a good variety of seating and TVs to catch the game. Also offered is a selction of bar bites and pizza while I wasn't hungry this visit the beers I tried were wort the trip.

    Nice place to stop in for some beers and food. The servers were friendly and welcoming. The brew their own beer and have a variety of offerings. My husband tried some of their beers and I had a seltzer. We also tried their cheese curds and cauliflower wings with the Sweet Thai Chili Sauce. Both were good, but the cauliflower wings were very good. Good experience.

    Orange seltzer - tasty.

    Finally stopped in after doing business at two nearby shops. ALERT - they have snacky thingies! I did not know this. Fried cheese curds and accompanying ranch dressing were lovely. And their seltzers have substance. Great vibe, nice staff. More food coming but there is something for everyone on their "small bar plate" (my term) menu.

    This is a newer spot but they know what they're doing. Cheese curds are really good. They're served with ranch but they have different sauces if round ask -- ask for jalapeño ranch! They brew their own beer and it was good! Menu actually has a lot of items on it but we only tried the curds during this trip.

    Great location, decent warm vibe. Middle of the road beers for my taste, really disliked the pizza.

    Great selection of beer and a quiet brewery. The outdoor area is really nice…read moreStaff is friendly Very clean bathrooms

    Wisconsin Brewing Company was founded in 2013 while my family was still living in Madison, and…read morerecently underwent a change to be called Lake Louie Brewing. My wife and I stopped in for dinner, and found it to be a good experience. An original founder was Kirby Nelson, who had become very well known in the area (during a time when craft brewing was just starting out), spending many years as head brew master at nearby Capital Brewery (a brewery I knew very very well, considering I worked nearby and had many work related events at their seasonal biergarten). I distinctly remember when they were building this location out in the middle of nowhere, and stopped in multiple times in the early years. In 2019, it merged with with Lake Louie Brewing (another smaller brewery whose beers I really liked). In 2023, it consolidated all of its beers under the Lake Louie moniker, including renaming this location. I hadn't stopped by since that had happened, so was looking forward to visiting for dinner during our second night of our Midwest road trip. They have a large outdoor dining areas, with nice views of the pond and some people were taking advantage. But it was dusk, and the mosquitos were out, so we chose inside seating. It was Wednesday, which meant they had $12 pitchers of any draft beers (which is a great deal). Instead, we ordered a flight ($12 for 4 pours) letting the bartender choose: Kiss the Lips, Badger Club, Warped Speed, Oktoberfest. Warped Speed was my favorite beer (Scotch ale) from the original Lake Louie before it got bought, and it didn't disappoint. The Wednesday special is a $12 small cheese and pepperoni pizza from JonnyO's (located in Belleville which isn't that close), and it's a decent size (enough for two people). We had to try it, but I wouldn't do it again. The price is outstanding, but the time to wait is too long. It is ordered and paid via kiosk. Basically, it's delivery and took exactly 1 hour for the pizza to be delivered. The pizza was OK, and would have been good if served fresh...but it tasted like a pizza that had been made 45 minutes ago and delivered. Definitely better when busier...my guess is that they waited for my pizza until the last possible minute for other orders to come in, and when it didn't, delivered it to meet the 1 hour promise time. I also got a pint of the Tart Lime Twist ($6) which went great with the pizza. We really liked the Tart Lime so got a 4 pack of that ($6) and my favorite (Warped Speed for $6), to bring back to California. The service was good throughout, and they used Square for their payment processing.

    A nice little local spot that's a bit hidden. MadisonTap is classy without being pretentious…read more Disclaimer: I did not order food here so my review may be a bit biased. 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.

    This was a fun find for us while we were in town. It was a bit hard to locate - we heard live music…read morebut couldn't tell if we could enter from the back. 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.
