Outdoor seating
Noah L.

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.

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!

Outdoor seating with variable pours of the beer selection

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
Irene C.

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.

While we were very happy with our enormous half-pretzel and my partner said Prost made the best beer cheese sauce she'd ever tasted, our mains were kinda lackluster. My partner remarked that the Beyond Bratwurst merely tasted like breakfast sausage. The sauerbraten was just some plain pulled pork with a scant drizzle of sauerbraten gravy, nothing like the well-marinated real deal. The potato pancake wasn't really pancake-y, more like some glorified shredded hash browns. The red cabbage was kinda bland. The pickled veg that accompanied the sausage plate looked and tasted fresh and crisp, with a nice hint of warm spice present in the carrots. The space is a pleasing reuse of an old deconsecrated church, with the requisite beer hall-style dining benches. Sports play on the televisions in the main dining hall and above the bar. In summary, I guess you gotta know what Prost!'s strengths are. Their pretzel is epic, but most everything else seemed to fall short. If you're there just for the beer, you can't go wrong.

Took while for our drinks (our waiter was nowhere to be found). Our food came out fairly fast but never received our fried pickles, asked for them again and received them when we finished our meal.

All the other wait staff and bartender were attentive to their tables and helpful when we needed boxes and our bill (yes, we had to ask other wait staff for this along with silverwar The decor was atmosphere was fun and enjoyable. It's kid friendly and would also be fun on a night out on the town

We stopped into Tipsy Cow while visiting Madison, and while there were definitely some highlights,…read morethe food ended up being a bit of a mixed experience. We started with an order of cheese curds and a couple of Spotted Cow beers, and this was easily the best part of our visit. The cheese curds were excellent! Lightly battered with a flavorful coating and a wonderfully smooth, almost velvety cheese inside. The ranch was also fantastic and paired perfectly with them. Exactly what I was hoping for while back in Wisconsin! Unfortunately, things went downhill a bit from there. We ordered the tomato soup and chili, and neither really impressed us. The tomato soup had an unusual sweetness that almost tasted artificial, along with a surprising amount of spice. It was quite different from the traditional tomato soup flavor we were expecting, and it just didn't work for us. The chili was better, although still pretty spicy, and we actually found two whole bay leaves in it. What disappointed me most was that both soups arrived barely lukewarm, which really took away from the experience. We also tried the walleye fingers, which were good. The fish was cooked well, and the accompanying sauce was very dill forward. Nothing particularly memorable, but certainly not bad either. On a positive note, the service was good throughout our visit. Our drinks stayed full, and we had no issues with the staff. The restaurant was dark wood and very cozy. Overall, Tipsy Cow seems like a great place to grab a cold Wisconsin beer and some genuinely excellent cheese curds. Those alone would bring me back! Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't quite live up to that strong start. I'd be willing to give it another shot, but next time I'll probably try a different entrée and hope it lives up to the appetizers.

I had the pleasure of visiting Lakeside Street Coffee House yesterday. Overall a great experience…read morefrom friendly customer service, beautiful outdoor seating, and good food and coffee for a total of 35.87. We ordered the Pesto melt and the Chipotle melt with side salads along with an iced mocha and house coffee that were served up fairly promptly. The sandwiches were great and the side salad too has a special maple vinaigrette. We sat outside and enjoyed a nice view of the late and the patio is dog friendly so we got to see plenty of cute pups too!

The word I would use to describe this place is eclectic. Theres a lot going on with this place…read more There's five different places to sit at, two of which are outside. You can sit inside at the main room or head downstairs where it's more private and comfy and then there's the quiet wine bar off to the side. Lots of mismatched new and antique furniture with old wooden plank floors. Parking is limited as there are only four spots behind the place and street parking otherwise. No drive up window either. They do offer some breakfast sandwich choices, but there were no croissants or other pastries to choose from besides one scone. I got the ham and cheese sandwich and enjoyed the crunchy ciabatta roll it came on. The coffee here is as good or better than Starbucks, so they get that important part of the formula right. When you finish your order and run your credit card, the tip screen will be waiting for you or add to the tip jar. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly with free Wi-Fi. This is a nice place to sit and visit, but not if you're in a morning rush. On some weekends they actually have some live music. Ten informative photos for more insight.
