They even have all sorts of the building's history up on the walls! They have a TON of martini options on their menu, but they do have all the bells and whistles of a normal bar too. The only thing missing is the bar food option, but they do have chips and such if you really need a snack! They also have the most friendly dog that hangs out, Ellie. She is just the sweetest thing!

I love the bars I've discovered since I moved to Milwaukee. Most with a classic feel, slightly dim with quirky decor. This bar is no different. There is always something new to check out and explore. I loved that my drink had a doily as a coaster. A very good cocktail menu. I found something quickly. It was relatively quiet since we arrived kind of at an off time. but there was a small talkative group of regulars (seemed to be?) at the other end of the bar. The service was somewhat sluggish. The bartender chatted with the regulars and overlooked when we finished our drinks. I never want to be that people who yell at a bartender or is aggressive about having a drink now. Did we waited longer than usual? Yes. But nothing major. And the exceptional cocktails were worth the wait!

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!

This is a local bar with local people. And most of the people in this bar rarely leave it. And then…read moreyou get the occasional tourists who wander in off the street and half the time, wander right back out. The atmosphere of the Ideal is... not the most desirable. Unflattering lighting, tile floor, uncomfortable bar stools, and it usually smells like bad breath and stale beer. Positives about the inside are the festive decorations behind the bar, the AMAZING juke box (kind of old school, flip through the CD covers deal), and they just installed two large windows in the front which helps IMMENSELY, and they always have a sweet pinball machine which rotates out every once in awhile. The bartenders are ALL top notch. Seriously. The best, nicest, most down to Earth people. Great service. They are always on top of their game and no matter how busy it is you won't have to wait long for a drink. This is a place where friends go. Everyone knows everyone, for the most part, and if you live in the 'hood, you can show up by yourself and know you'll find a friend drinking there too. Despite it's downfalls, the Ideal is a great place for neighborhood people to get together. Out-of-towners may want to avoid it and just go across the street to the brewery because chances are someone at the Ideal will scare you or ask you to buy them a beer. The Ideal is the only bar in Madison where all your dreams come true.

Two pool tables, music from a cd jukebox, games etc. I ordered a Gin Rickey and the bartender was peeved like how dare you order a drink that I can't make and I explain to him how to make it, he's the guy from Iowa with glasses that starts with A. So he thinks he's clever and calls it a gin Richard, ie d#ck is slang for Richard. Now he thinks he funny and called me Richard the whole time while I was there, basically calling me a d#ck every chance he got.

As would be expected, the drinks are cheap: two Spotted Cows and a PBR tallboy came to $9.25.
