    Been to eight shows over the past three months, and this feels like a very different vibe than 2023. They're bringing incredible groups in every month, staff is friendly, place feels safe. The music quality is awesome. There are plenty of places to park around the neighborhood, and shows start on time. Really appreciate the acts that they're booking. It's become a Madison meme to complain about live nation/FPC stranglehold on five big venues: Breese Stevens, Sylvie, Orpheum, Majestic, high noon. I give one star for the ticket fees and the high drink costs. But I'm not gonna hold that against this venue.

    I went to a New Year's Eve concert here and had an amazing time. The venue itself is pretty modern with kiosks to pay digitally for drinks at the bar. This really helped with ordering and paying during a loud concert. The sound was great, the band was great, and we would be thrilled to come back to another concert at this venue.

    Believe they're called whiskey pig

    Great spot As a smaller venue for bands, employees are pretty lay back crowds are usually quite cool. Have an excellent time when I saw Faith Hills Have Eyes, release album, and a Nirvana Tribute evening was pretty cool. Parking is a bit of a bitch though.

    I've been seeing shows at the High Noon since before I lived here in Madison. The sound is always great, fitting the space perfectly. As someone with pain issues I should note that getting there early can be beneficial if you'd like to sit--they do have tables in the back and in the upstairs balcony area (by, II believe, a spate of arcade games, which I appreciate). I've seen one of my favorite bands Low here twice. I had a great time with family one afternoon at a winter craft fair kinda thing. It has a rad patio/beergarden area adjacent to a bar & restaurant. All this gives it about four stars anyways but I'm writing this review now because last weekend Gaelynn Lea performed there & it was a spiritual experience. Not only was she amazing, it was really awesome to see Disability Pride Madison put it together and the artist went out of her way to thank High Noon Saloon for securing and installing a ramp for her to get onstage in her chair. "Not many folks do this," she said, or something to that effect. The show was so good. I'm not thrilled that most of the venues in town seem owned or booked by the same conglomerate but I'm pretty sure I'll keep going to the High Noon. Amazing space. Staff are super friendly, too. Also, thank goodness, the Native American statue(s) have long since been removed as decor, those were problematic at best. Great to see change/responsiveness.

    Yes, yes and more yes! I came here to see Andy Frasco this past Sunday. Well worth the drive from Green Bay. This venue has two bars flanking a small stage. They have taken the time to make sure the acoustics are good in here. The space is mostly standing only with a small balcony that has maybe 50 seats. The bathrooms were clean and the drinks decent in price. The extra plus is they have a nice outdoor patio for cooling down if you get to hot dancing. I would come back here for sure.

    Ask the Community - High Noon Saloon

    Is there any seating for concerts, or is it strictly standing?

    Do people tend to line up outside for concerts? If so how early? I know it probably varies on the band but was just curious as I like to up front for shows.

    I have gone to many many shows there and cannot recall there being a line outside.

    Can anyone recommend nearby hotels that aren't crazy expensive? Under $200 preferably. Driving up for a concert and just need a quick place to crash afterwards.

    The hotels downtown can be pretty expensive, but Uber is relatively cheap transportation and there are hotels/Airbnbs that aren't so expensive just outside of downtown. Hope it works out!

The bartender assured us that their vegan options were incredible. MadisonTap features many local Wisconsin beers on tap. They seem to often rotate the beers and keep a solid selection. MadisonTap was spacious with bar seats, tables, and booths available. The design and decor were well thought out. The crowd seems to be young professionals in their mid-20s to early 30s. I don't recall the beers I got here but I do remember prices being ~$7-10 range mark. The bartender and owner place special emphasis on being vegetarian and vegan friendly. Even one of the cocktails used vegan butter. There was a single bartender when I visited but it was a bit slow. We had a great conversation and watched Christmas movies on the projectors. Overall, solid experience. 5/5. Favorited in Madison, WI.

We entered from the front of the building. It looks like they feature a different brewery every month. The interior of the bar was pretty classy and new. Their patio was very cool and spacious. A great patio for evening drinks! The live music was pretty good too. Can't speak to the food however, since we didn't eat there.

Alas, we have so few, and I'm so excited this concept opened! I came on a fall/winter evening, but definitely would love to come back in sunny outdoor weather. On the top floor of the Moxy hotel, Atico serves up a really lovely array of Mexican and Mexican-themed foods. They've got some really elevated entree options, but also have a host of street tacos. While their menu is a bit pricey (some were actually outrageous), the happy hour specials they had listed on the table were a great deal -- definitely would love to come back here for happy hour. I ordered 2 al pastor street tacos and a carne asada street taco. They're nicely sized and are decently full with meat. Onion and cilantro tops them off just like a street taco should be. I thought they were pretty tasty. I didn't love that the pineapple in the al pastor was chopped on top and was served cold (the pineapple, not the meat), but I still ate every ounce of both my tacos, so take my complaint with a grain of salt. My margarita was also good, I appreciated that they were willing to make it "up" instead of "on the rocks." Our server was very accommodating and able to answer questions. Overall, I don't know that the food is worth the price, but it would definitely be worth it on a rare occasion to enjoy the rooftop ambiance. The happy hour also solves for this conundrum. So, I'd certainly like to be back to Atico.

My coworker and I got there at the end of the brunch hour (2 pm) and settled on the things we ordered. After we put our order in they gave us new menus.... They could've gave us a heads up as the lunch menu had more items and more of what we really wanted so that we were a bit frustrated with the staff because of that. Place was cool as it was game day for foot ball so it had people in there cheering and giving the place to life.
