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.

Stopped in to catch-up with a friend on a Wednesday night and was shocked at how busy they were!…read moreTurns out they had a cheese raffle that evening. How fun! 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!

This was delish!

All of it was super yum! I wish that the burger had some more flavor, however. I also got a delicious bloody mary, perhaps my favorite one I've ever had! Our server was amazing! She was very attentive, helpful, and kind. The restaurant interior is also beautiful and is probably a wonderful place for a night out!

The Stuffed Olive has ENDLESS flavors of martinis!!! Some of the flavors were a bit strange, like…read moremashed potato or birthday cake. They all seem very interesting! I can't wait to come back and try more. We ordered the spinach artichoke flatbread which was super salty, but that wasn't a problem for me since I love a good salty snack paired with a super sugary drink! This place is suuuper cute and it's right next to I/O the arcade bar. Loved the vibes and had a great time. Thanks!

I lost track of what all we tried but: fae nectar, hurrican't even, cheeky devil, fiesta bear, and tea and tendril. Everything was delicious, went down easy, and reasonable prices. The food was also good - chips & queso, chicken tenders, and pretzel. The pretzel was INSANE - enough to go around for 4 people. Riley was a fabulous bar tender. He was super knowledgeable on all the spirits and cocktails. We had great banter and he was welcoming on our first visit. I loved the variety of seating options inside and out. The patio is great but the bees scared us back inside. Everything was decorated so cute for Halloween - it must have taken forever to decorate!! Definitely will be back again next time I'm in the Madison area!

Also I love that they have real food so you aren't just drinking on an empty stomach. Extra shout out to the ramen vending machine and spices and hot sauces collection.

The place has a relaxed, comfortable vibe that worked well for a casual hour. Glou Glou had a partnered food truck outside, from which I grabbed dinner. Made things easy and I appreciate the local business supporting local business supporting local business thing going on among the three entities. I ordered wine based on the owner/operator's recommendation. The service felt personal and I suspect people that know about wine (not me) could have good conversation at the bar with her about such. Overall, it was a simple but enjoyable night, and the kind of spot I'd return to when I want something low-key but well done.

I wish this place was closer to Madison!…read more Stumbled upon this gem while meeting some friends in Lodi for dinner on a Friday night. As soon as we sat down, the owner (Kathy) was there and asked us what kind of wine we liked. I told her cabs; the hubs, whites. Within a few minutes she was back with an arm full of wines and began pouring us tastings and did not stop until each of us found something. Not just something we liked, something we LOVED. I've never been to any wine establishment that took such time and lengths to ensure you had the greatest experience. If you're anywhere near the Lodi area, go visit Kathy and Mark. They are fantastic people who run a business they very clearly love.

They felt like part of our party. We were able to bring in food, and the staff regularly came around to clean up plates and collect empty glasses. We were also able to play our own music, which was a lot of fun for the group. Restrooms were clean, the space was warm and cozy (even on a cold winter day- there's a fireplace!), and it would be a great relaxing anytime space for a fun, unpretentious visit. Thank you!
