There was some street parking around but most were filled, we found a spot about a block away. Bartenders were awesome and made for a great time!

They allow you to bring your own food and alcohol which is rare among venues in our area and they have a ton of amenities, including an AV system, table cloth rental, an outdoor fire pit, and a ton of beautiful outdoor spaces for photographs. They were also much more affordable than every other venue we looked at in our area.

The most recent visit, a few weeks ago, was to see a band play out on their lawn. It was a beautiful evening so it was a great setting. We did get a few drinks at both their upstairs bar and the one set up downstairs for this event. The drinks were good but not as cheap as I recall from years ago. Hard to believe they ran out of tonic, the crowd really wasn't that big! They did have brats and burgers. I got a brat and it was pretty good. That was it for food. Best feature of this place is the location.

After dining next door, we wanted to have a night cap nearby and Madison Local Motive, which is a…read moretrain car turned bar, was highly recommended, so we popped over. The space is two cars, with one set up as a full-time bar, and the other a mixed space that was a dance club on the night we visited. The bar car was super cute and quaint, but also tight and cramped, especially with a crowd. The car is set up with a single person bar towards the back, and lounge seating along one side leaving small space for folks to walk and wait for the bar. The other car had the bar up front and the dance floor and seating in the back. This car had a cover, so we just did cocktails and lounged a bit in the bar car. The single bartender, while he was friendly and made a good cocktail, created a backlog of folks waiting for drinks. We waited 10 minutes in a single file line for our cocktails. I went with the espresso martini, and my pal got an old fashioned. Both tasty, but the glassware was wayyyyy too small. The line never cleared, so we did one and done unfortunately. The concept is great, but execution is lacking. I know there is limited space, but the current layout and function is not the greatest, especially on the cocktail car side of things. Overall, it was cool to experience and now we can say we have done it.

You walk in and you have a huge bar area on the left to grab a drink, then you can walk down a few steps and it's a huge area right in front of the stage. We got standing only tickets so that's where we stood. It was awesome because you could get so close to the stage. They do have a second floor with an additional bar and paid seating that looked really nice. The sound was great, everything was clean, air conditioned, the bar staff were efficient, and the prices weren't insane. There were a lot of people there but you still had your own standing space, it wasn't a packed sardines situation at all. Even leaving was easy, it wasn't a stampede. Overall an awesome somewhat more intimate experience for a concert. They do have a parking garage for $15. We went to dinner on Willy Street before and had street parking there so we didn't need to move our car. Only a few block walk, super convenient! I can't wait to see another concert at The Sylvee!
