We tried their recommendation for beer and were super happy with our choice. The Lake Loop was my favorite as someone who likes light, crisp drinks. The food was also surprisingly good for a bar. Especially the tater tots, probably some of the best I've had in Madison!! We tried mesquite BBQ wings also which came with 3 house-made sauces (Jalapeño Ranch, Honey Habanero Buffalo, and regular ranch). Space was pretty large and had seating for larger groups.

If you like beer (and I mean GOOD beer, not Budweiser), you need to check this place out…read more While househunting in the area, my boyfriend and I became curious about the little bar on the corner with no signage. We ended up buying a house within stumbling distance, and needless to say, the Malt House has become a favorite neighborhood hangout. The bartenders are friendly, and if you have questions about any of the beers in their gigantic selection, they will gladly tell you what they know with no beer snobbery whatsoever. They occasionally have live music, but it's acoustic, so it doesn't get too loud in the tiny space. It's far enough away from downtown that it doesn't get obnoxiously crowded. They don't have food, but you can order delivery or bring your own in with you. I LOVE this bar. Period.

Maybe it was just the groups who had taken over this particular day weren't my vibe. The drinks were amazing though. Creative, fresh, loved them. I had one with blended mint and gin. We tried the jell o shot of the day which had pop rocks and was salty and fruity. Seriously one of the most interesting concoctions and was fun. Very worth the stop.

We were trying to go to another bar in the area on valentines and it was already full so we…read morestumbled over here and we were not disappointed. First thing is they have touch tunes so you can set your own vibes for the night. The decor and lighting is perfect. A lot of velvet seating and gold accents. It is a dog friendly space which is kind of random for a cocktail bar but I don't mind it. I pet 4 dogs. The bartenders were super nice. I ordered the "Yes you can buy me love" which was Espolon Tequila, Strawberry, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Coconut Milk, Mint, Sugar Rim. It was really good. I also tried my husband's "Stuck in a Snowbank" which was state line coffee liqueur, bourbon cream, frangelico, cold brew. It basically tasted like a coffee that was a little sweeter. All the cocktails were great. Again I'm so glad we stumbled across this stop because even the bar goers were super nice.

The lounge has a moody vibe that you really wouldn't guess from the outside. It's the perfect place to escape the cold and warm up with a cozy cocktail. They also change their cocktail menu seasonally, offering something a little fun for each season. It's evident the owners care about the community, as they are frequently offering events to support local providers (River Valley Food Pantry on the night we were there), and have specials for those who we couldn't be without (hello nurses and teachers). They're also dog friendly!

A true Wisconsin dive bar--nothing fancy, just what it is…read more We came to Dive Inn thanks to a pub pass, and it's exactly what the name suggests. It's a local hangout with that classic dive bar vibe: friends chatting at the bar, a lonely guy playing slots in the corner, and no pretense whatsoever. The atmosphere is very "Wisconsin dive," and if you're not a local, it's easy to feel out of place. The drinks are standard, nothing special, and the food is nothing to write home about. It's cozy in a low-key way, but don't expect anything fancy. For locals looking for a casual spot to grab a drink, it works, but outsiders might not feel the same warmth.
