    Fraboni's Cheese Pizza
    Liz C.

    Really cool venue, nicely furnished, with a chill atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Limited food menu, but the Batch Bakehouse pretzels and Fraboni's pizza were great, and you can bring your own food in if you wish. Fun trivia night on Tuesday. I'll be back!

    This is an amazing, chill space with a fantastic beer selection and variety of sizes & form factors to fit your needs at the particular moment. Good sours, milkshake IPAs, and other fine brews of many varieties are at your fingertips. The vibe is super low key, you can easily carry on a conversation or play a board game here. Doesn't get too crowded most of the time.

    Beautiful space, good beer selection, but just lacks the variety of food. They have pizza, pretzels, and chips, but were out of pretzels when we came :( so a bigger food selection would definitely put them up there. Granted on Monroe there is plenty to eat, but if we're talking exclusively this place, bring some other food or eat before just incase. There are board game and a nice outdoor section to sit at, overall cute place that if I'm near will be back again. Oh and trivia on Tuesdays! Happy drinking!

    Tasty snacks at Garth's Brew Bar.

    Went to Garth's for the first time on a Friday and it was cool. Lots of space there at 4:30, cool games to play, and nice snacks for the kiddos. They even had drinks suitable for kids. Their beer selection on tap and in the bottle and can shop was great! Unfortunately I don't like beer, but the bartender was so kind and helped me find something I'd like. They do have some ciders in bottles and cans to buy, but I dinged one star only for no options on tap for ciders, mead, or other pub drinks besides beer.

    Fun spot to grab drinks after dinner, though they do close a bit early (9pm). They have a rotating list of 16 drafts on tap, and an entire refrigerator wall of fairly unique selections, which can be a little pricey. They sell Fraboni's pizza and some other snacks, and you are welcome to bring whatever carry-in food you'd like. They have a decent selection of board games and the atmosphere inside is cozy and modern. There is a medium sized area to sit indoors (could seat 50ish people). Wonderful place to bring friends!

    Peanut butter milk stout. Juice Cloud IPA

    Cozy, modern atmosphere. Great beer selection! My boyfriend had a peanut butter milk stout and a banana sour - I was a bit hesitant to try his beers as sometimes I feel these flavors can be a bit artificial tasting but I was very pleasantly surprised - both tasted delicious. I had 2 New England IPAs (Unsettled and Juice Cloud) - both were fantastic. For those wanting a bite, they do serve pizza and pretzels. They also allow carry-in food! Overall, enjoyable place with great beers - looking forward to going back!

    Plenty of seating, cozy atmosphere.

The ribs are fall off the bone tender served with a really good Asian slaw and fries. Note, ketchup is served in a small cup. The pot roast is excellent. Tender with a red wine sauce served with carrots, spinach, asparagus and mashed potatoes. So yummy. The grilled Caesar salad didn't have any char or grill marks. The brandy old fashions are the best in Madison. Now, the less than stellar part of tonight's dinner. It's date night. I research menu's online before picking our spot. Bonfyre had a shrimp and scallops ceviche on their menu. A deal maker as this is one of my husband's favorite appetizers. We ordered it along with cheese curds as they are the best curds in Madison. We were told the ceviche was a no go. Oops, sorry. we suggested they update their website. My husband displayed his displeasure by saying this is why we chose this restaurant for dinner. Strike one. We enjoyed our drinks. A while later our server came out with our entrees and salad. What? Is this a cafeteria where all food is dumped in front of you at once? Weren't we here to dine? Where was our appetizer? We canceled the cheese curds as it was apparent the order wasn't put in. Sad as I was really looking forward to them. I showed my dismay that we didn't get our appetizer and that the salad was served with the entree. Kinda put a damper on our date night. The server apologized and realized she screwed up. Service after that was tentative. I expect it was a learning experience for her. We will give other restaurants a try for a bit as this was a less than stellar experience on an early Wednesday night dinner reservation.

There are plenty of to go options in the cooler and they often have events like trivia. The indoor space is cute with an open concept surrounding their brewing equipment and hanging plants with cozy dim lighting, and the outdoor patio is nice in the summer especially to bring dogs. They have slowly been improving their food offerings over time. I usually get one of their crunch wraps but tried the chicken club this time and it was delicious, as were the fries! It did get a little messy at the end since there is a lot in between the bread, but it was worth it. There could have been more aioli on the sandwich but I just asked for a side of it and used it for both that and my fries which was perfect. The background music has always been great and the staff have always been lovely.

On a very hot Saturday afternoon we made our way to this location not too far off the Beltline. Fortunately there was just enough shade outside that the tables and chairs were out of the sun to watch the band. Delta doesn't have a very attractive outdoor space but that is not unlike other small microbreweries around here. They had quite a few beers to choose from though most were not my taste. I did settle on their German pils which was quite good. My wife opted for a kombucha that she liked. They do have a number of non-alcoholic choices too and even a few mixed drinks... Given it was their version of Octoberfest they had a food vendor outside and I understand they often have food trucks because I am not sure what other food choices they have beyond a tombstone-like pizza I saw someone eating. We didn't spend anytime inside but it looked like a typical microbrewery with high top tables and lots of games.
