Cozy place with wine by the glass or bottle and a full bar. Live music on some days. Great cheese boards and friendly staff.

Atomic Koi Cocktail Lounge in Fitchburg, WI has potential to improve if they had the right staff! I…read morehave gone there on more than one occasion where their bartenders were rude, unprofessional, and ruined the overall experience. My husband still loves coming to Atomic Koi Cocktail Lounge because it's a laid back lounge away from the rowdier young local college students bar atmosphere that's still vibrant with an eclectic vibe with illuminated fish tanks and a fun cozy ambiance. The crowd is mostly young working professionals near the area mid 20s-30s on up that are looking to unwind and have fun with their family/friends. Atomic Koi is a fun lounge that has games like a giant Connect Four, a pool table, shuffle board, and darts. They also have a good diverse cocktail menu that has something satisfying for everyone from martinis, tropical drinks, mojitos, beer, and more. Recently, my husband suggested the Atomic Koi to show our friends and family from out of town a good time in the Madison area. I ordered a cocktail and the bartender claimed they didn't have the ingredients to make the drink which didn't bother me but I have gone to Atomic Koi more than once trying to order a cocktail on their menu and the bartenders claimed they were unable to make it or didn't have the ingredients or maybe they just didn't feel like making it like some of their ice cream drinks and it wasn't busy in the moment. I then ordered the Golden Colada which is a fun pineapple tropical flavored drink! If they are unable to make a specific drink but the drink is advertised on their menu they should be able to make it consistently if requested otherwise take it off the cocktail menu permanently because patrons expect to be able to order a specific drink if its on the menu. My husband, friends, and family were having a good time. A back corner nook opened up where some people left and we wanted to sit there as a group however there was super sticky drinks on the floor under the table nook. One of my family members asked one of the bartenders if she could please mop up the sticky floor or find another staff that could. The bartender was super rude to my family member and said she wasn't going to mop it up until closing time at 1am. Then my family member asked if she would at least get someone to pull the mop out from the back and he would mop it up himself and she refused. She should have politely told my family member "sorry I am unable to leave the bar area but I will find another staff to mop it up when they are able to" but it was her rude don't care entitled attitude which didn't leave a good impression on my family members from out of town. I went back up to the bar and spoke to a different bartender who wasn't busy tending the bar and told him the situation. He did fix the situation and mopped up the sticky floor when he was able to which I appreciated but he looked over it like he didn't really want to be there not really friendly. If Atomic Koi could consistently recruit/ retain more professional, trained, personable, friendly bartenders and actually follow through in making cocktails actually advertised in their cocktail menu , its a great spot to go to for a great drink and a fun place to unwind!

I'll say first that the drinks were good here and should get five stars. They had a huge menu for…read morefun cocktails. However, the vibe here was not comfortable and that's a huge part of a bar experience in my view. The booth we sat in was ackward height and the lighting was terrible inside. The sun was blasting in on one end and the other end was pitch black so it was just hard to see. I also couldn't tell what the decor and theme was supposed to be. One plus is that they did have a cute indoor electric fire which would be nice to sit by in cozy season. I would go back in the summer to sit on the outdoor patio and try an alcoholic ice cream drink! I do also wish they had food options... even just apps or to partner with a restaurant nearby to have their menu available for delivery to the bar. I've seen that at other bars before and appreciate that convenience.

The food was ok nothing special and the wine were ok, I wish the wines had more body And the…read morewines were more complex and not so simple

So I've been waffling on updating my review, but this has come up in conversation with multiple…read morefriends SO MANY TIMES that it must be updated. I still contend that this place is fantastic, the wine is good, and the pizzas are excellent. Staff is still super friendly and relatively attentive. They slightly modified their Wednesday special, but it's pretty similar. However, it doesn't really matter if you're never able to enjoy or take advantage of said wine, food, or deals. Their hours are entirely not conducive to the average human being. They close at 8pm, and every time I've come here we are essentially "kicked out" (they never actually kick us out per se, just indicate that they're closed/closing and bring us our check). By the time you get off work, get home to take care of any pets/children/family etc, you're already crunched for time before they close. Heaven forbid you actually have a class or appointment in the afternoon first. In the past two months alone, we've wanted to come to Cambridge Winery but had to opt for a different option THREE TIMES because people's schedules couldn't get them out until 6:30 pm ish. And this has happened multiple times throughout 2022 as well. AND this is not just with one or two friends, but with multiple different friend/co-worker groups. It's a rare occasion we can all get our schedules to fit with Cambridge Winery's limited schedule. Alas, this is the reason for my downgrade in review. It's not accessible, so all the good it has to offer is rendered moot. That said, if you can get to the winery early, I still highly recommend it.
