Your typical small town vibe dive bar. The bar is a bit small and has about 12 seats and three bar tables on the side. Free pool on Monday's and $1 off drafts. They also have pizza for sale if you get a little hungry. Nice bartenders, friendly people hanging out, and a couple of televisions to watch the game on. There's also a bulletin board by the door with local community events and ads.

Bierock - Jalapeño Poppers

Bierock

Few people know what a bierock is. I saw the sign as soon as we pulled into the parking lot and…read moreknew we had to investigate. I left hubby with no option other than stopping for lunch or at least ordering some food to go. I lived in Kansas as a teenager and fondly remember discovering bierocks and later making them for my own family. I wish we were locals because not only are the bierocks good, but this place has a fun vibe that would definitely bring us back. It was a game day when we stopped, and there was a fair crowd cheering on their favorite Wisconsin team. We ordered a Classic with Bavarian seasoning and a Rosemary Lamb Bierock to go along with some jalapeño poppers. I really enjoyed the Classic with the additional seasoning. It gave it an added boost of flavor. My husband was pleased with the Rosemary Lamb. Each came with chips and a pickle. Next time, I hope we can stop in and stay for a cocktail or craft beer as well.

Place was not busy and our order was messed up -- ingredients and sides weren't correct or were missing -- which is the reason for 3 stars. We did get comped one meal due to the fact that an entire meal for our son wasn't made and we had to wait another 15 minutes for it to be cooked. Overall, I'd like to try this place again to see if it can regain some stars and my confidence in the service.

I really liked the music (The Killers) and vibe on the bar side when we stopped in around 8 pm on a…read moreFriday night recently. We had a blast playing with a baby at the bar and my Coke was great. From the bar we entered the dining area- just past the bar- and since there was no one there to sit us we just sat down. We joined a table of friends who were finishing their meal, as there were open chairs at their table which was next to an open table for two. The waitress came over. We said "hi" and asked to place our dinner order, start a separate check so our friends could cash out. We offered to move to the nearby separate table for two, as this sounded upsetting to the staffer as she said she was getting off and couldn't take our order. We said that was fine and she could send over another staffer, we wanted to make things easy. But she just left, and was clearly angry at us. Eventually someone else came to take our order. Took quite a while to get the food and drinks, but they were good, especially the french fries. But then we were told we could not pay for our order, as it had been added to our friends' tab and they had unknowingly already paid for us when they cashed out. It was weird. We are sorry to have upset the waitress, but not sure what we could have done differently, as there was no one there to seat us and we thought we could sit at an open table or join our friends. Neither seemed to work for her that night. I would return for another visit. I like the neighborhood feel and free street parking.

Northside Lounge - Classic Old Fashioned served up and a pup-tini.

What a new gem for the north side of town! I had an appointment in the area and had my dog with me,…read moreand this place had been recommended by another dog-lover friend. I'd heard mixed reviews from various people who had gone right when they opened, and I was very happy with the place. We were celebrating my pup's 12th birthday, and the bartender offered him a "Pup-tini." Wow, how sweet and it was the cutest, most thoughtful pup treat I've seen in quite some time. The bartender was super nice and accommodating for my un-Wisconsin request of a classic old fashioned served up. And omg it was delicious -- it's hit or miss at cocktail bars how it ends up, and this is officially one of my favorites. While tiny, the inside is really cutely decorated and has these amazing lush emerald green chairs. They're so comfortable! I'm already planning to come back here with some friends. It's size means it probably will be packed at peak drinking times, but I came on a weekday afternoon close to when they opened. There were still a decent amount of people here, but there was a nice outdoor patio type space as well. Consider this one of my new favorite places in Madison. Highly recommend.

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.
