Great service, fun vibe on the eastside of Madison with outdoor seating. Happy hour is 3-6 which is too early, most Madison happy hours are 4-7pm or even 8pm. Great variety of tap beer but too expensive. Happy hour brings in the crowd! Nightly special would be a great addition like Taco Tuesdays! read more

This place is great all around! The beer selection here is awesome and I love ordering their Jalapeño Popper Burger which is flavorful and the perfect amount of spice. Their pub grub chips or fries are dangerously delicious! So incredibly good tastings. I highly recommend trying them. They have trivia on Monday's which is always fun. Great place to visit to eat a burger and have a beer while playing some trivia. read more

All places have a vibe. Sometimes, that vibe is what you're looking for. Sometimes, that vibe is not what you're looking for. I stopped in to Mr Brews Taphouse looking for my "end of the day" hangout and after a couple of minutes, decided that this was not the place I wanted. Aside from the lack of power outlets at any of the tables, the music was overly loud and uncomfortable. Yeah, maybe I'm old. But I'm old enough to know that if I'm not happy here, there is probably somewhere else I will be happy. On the positive sides, there is plenty of parking, they have a decent outside patio area and the restroom was clean. [Review 20682 overall - 252 in Wisconsin - 1663 of 2023.] read more

The food here was so good. Excellent Philly cheesesteak and sweet potato fries that melted in my mouth. The Mac and cheese was amazing and their beer list was extensive. Good prices and good service. Definitely recommend! read more

We love Mr Brews. The best burgers, beer and service! So sad they closed the one in Monona!

The Kentucky Bourbon Classic Cheeseburger with Cajun chips was delicious! I also thoroughly enjoyed each of the Red Ales and Amber Lagers that they had on tap. The service was excellent and the environment was what you would expect from a family-friendly Taphouse. I will be back! read more

Grossly overpriced. $6 for McUltra. Food was tasteless. I have no idea why people go here.

I've been to a few Mr. Brews Taphouses in my day and this one is my least favorite. The food is fine, just like the other locations and I enjoy that the beer menu at this location is slightly different than other ones. However the group of regulars here are often yelling at the bar, obnoxious and kind of disgusting when it comes to their topics of conversation. I wish this was my only experience like that. Also, it's really cool that this location scored 4 different bourbon county stouts but the sign that calls out "No Spillage, No Exceptions" is kind of aggressive and should just be a training conversation with staff as opposed to something a customer should be able to read. It shows that management clearly either doesn't hire quality staff, doesn't trust them or doesn't train them. It's off-putting. read more

This is a great place to try if you're looking for something new to try on tap! There are tons of different beers & ciders to choose from on tap, as well as a full bar for those that aren't beer lovers. I wasn't exactly sure what to try so I asked our server Allie if I could try a couple samples of their fruity beer to help make my decision. Allie was amazing and she knew her beers! All of the samples I tried were amazing and ended up going with the Dogfish Mango Mandarin Crush - dude I HIGHLY recommend if you like fruity beers!!! It has a lightly sweet, hazy-gold brew with a citrusy tart flavor. Thank you for the recommendations Allie - you rock! read more

Mr Brews Taphouse - Dogfish Mango Mandarin Crush for the win!!! - Burgers Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Wow! This place is awesome. My husband and I came in late Sunday afternoon to give Mr Brews Tap-house a try after seeing their dog friendly patio sign a few weeks back. I had the Pineapple Hula cider and was pleasantly surprised by how great this tasted! You have to give this a try if you like ciders. Our waiter, Dustin, was absolutely amazing. He was kind, fast, and personable. Best service we have had in a long time. He even brought out ice water for our dog! We got lucky and had the patio to ourselves which made for such a relaxing close to the weekend (or start of the week). The food came out hot and fast and was fantastic. The cheese curds were fresh and delicious and deserve a shoutout. We will definitely be returning and recommending this restaurant to all of our friends. read more

Very nice place. Great service. Nice location. I absolutely love the ambiance will be back many times

Would have loved to write a review - however we were not given the opportunity to sit. Party of 6 on a Friday...multiple open tables. Told there was a big party coming in later, which they already had laid out but they wouldn't take us. read more

My wife and I each had a salad. The salads were good. The service was exceptional and fast. The gentleman who waited on us i think was the manager and he did an excellent job. We will go back. read more

There was a new bartender that hasn't been there long. She was good and working hard. This other person was drinking and not doing anything on the shift and ignoring people. Management handle your staff!! read more

Two screaming small children literally sitting at the bar with mom's drinking and oblivious to how the rest of the customers felt. The staff didnt care that I and a couple of other customers were out of town and just wanted to chill. Will not go back to this place next time I'm in town. David read more

I wanted to love this place. The service at 2:00 on a Monday was eh. The silverware was rusted. The food was ok. The beer selection was phenomenal... just not enough to make me want to go back. read more

Delicious burgers, I got the Mr. Brews Peanut Buster, one of the best pairings of condiments/toppings I've had. Mr. Brews special peanut butter, bacon, and Habanero Jack cheese. I also got the cheese curds when I was here, those. I'm unsure if they were undercooked or just a style I wasn't used to, but they had a rubbery, string cheese texture with each bite. read more

This place is ok, I had a coke but this seems to be a great bar for beers. Got a American cheese burger with tots. They didn't ask me how I wanted it cooked, it came WELL, ok burger. Bad reception for phones, hard to txt. Clean place, may be I'll go back when I'm drinking. read more

Mr. Brews has a wide selection of on tap beers/hard ciders. I love their Peanutbuster Burger too!

The food is actually pretty decent. But if you're visiting from out of town, the service is sure to disappoint. When I first started coming here earlier this year the bar was mainly staffed by a couple of guys who were very attentive to service. Lately it's been a couple of women who primarily tend to the regulars, when they aren't checking their phones. Honestly won't make the mistake of going back again. read more

This place has the greatest food and with 60 craft taps, who can ask for more? Rachel and Gregg are such a cute couple! They keep it fresh by flirting to show their love and exciting love life! It's so romantic! Everyone loves their long time love and open affection towards each other! Such an alive and healthy relationship! The customers are awesome and the employees work really hard to make the experience wonderful! ​ read more

Passing through on my way to Wisconsin dells and stopped here for lunch. The place is really good, decorated nicely. The waitress made good recommendations for different burgers and we really enjoyed our food. This is a cool place to come- so glad I found it on yelp! The beer selection is really large, you could try something new every time you come. read more

Second Sunday visit to Mr. Brews. A high end dive bar atmosphere with a great selection of taps. Ran out of my first pick. Why don't they xxx out that selection on the electronic board? Bartender on both days was interested in their phone and chatting with a regular. I'd go back though, for the Kentucky bourbon pumpkin ale While they have it. read more

I like beer! The beer list is constantly changing. This place is right down the road from my work and it makes it easy to pop in after work for a delicious beer or two. Food is burgers, fresh cut fries, fresh cut chips, you can sub chicken breast in place of the burger. I think they have a salad or two on the menu and they just introduced soups. There are some unique burgers on the menu like the Peanut Buster (A MUST TRY) its a peanut butter burger. I mean it sounds horrible but wrong! It's delicious. I am torn between ordering their fresh cut fries or chips. I love pub chips but I feel like they sometimes cook these too long. 4 Stars! I like it! read more

Nobody is ever there -very quiet. Food is average. Servers are either really good or horrible. The one supervisor was so unprofessional - constantly dropping Fbombs, complaining about staff, etc. The younger staff are great. But they lack for business - very slow. So, if you want quiet, this is your place. Food was average. read more

This place delivers exactly what they advertise. Beer, beer and more beer! There Brew selection is obviously going to be over the top. Pretty much any kind of frosty malted libation you could even think of is in their menu. The only reason they are not getting five stars is their menu selection is extremely limited. Pretty much just burgers and fries and a couple other options. Completely understand their focus is on the beer, but you need to be able to have enough of a selection of food to tide people over otherwise they get too drunk too fast. Small word of guidance: The atmosphere in this Place is loud and energetic and uplifting and boisterous. Be aware of that before going. If you don't like noisy places, this is not the place for you. If you enjoy a high-energy, you will love this place read more

Limited variety on the menu and general more of a pub/bar feel than a restaurant so probably not ideal for small children. We had a very friendly and helpful waitress. She recommended the pulled pork sandwich which hubby had. Besides the pulled pork and one salad, everything else is burgers. I didn't notice immediately but you can substitute a chicken or bean patty on the sandwiches so that increases the options. I opted for chicken on my Kentucky Bourbon sandwich. It was okay -- a standard chicken patty with bacon, cheese, onion and bbq sauce. Kind of messy, I should have requested a fork. Hubby wasn't thrilled with his pulled pork sandwich saying it was a bit fattier than he preferred and it was more chunks than pulled pork strings so the whole thing didn't hold together well for him. Also sandwiches don't include a side though they seemed priced like a "basket meal". We weren't too excited about fries or chips so we got the cheese curd appetizer to share. At $6.50 it seemed like a small portion, but I suppose that kept us honest about our caloric intake. I don't see us rushing back here anytime soon though nothing really would prevent us from going if it was something that would work for us in the moment. read more

Burger week to try their Kentucky Burbon Classic. Very good and juicy, the sauce seem to be a mayo base. The string onion were a good crunch. The place is bright and open, friendly staff and great selection of beer. Overall I'd come back for happy hour. read more

My first visit to Mr Brews and it was just ok. The place is wide and open and doesn't feel that cozy. When I sat down service was quick with 2 samples and my beverage. I asked for a menu and it took the bar tender a few mins to find one. The menu is very limited with just burgers. I then sat there for 15 minutes with the menu in a position like I was about to order and nothing. They were too busy doing there other things to serve me.My beverage was done so I just asked for the check and left. My first visit was so lame lame it maybe my last. read more

Very friendly environment and great bar food! They have a pet friendly patio too. Great stop!

Came in to this location last night for an appetizer and a couple drinks. I really like the spot! The building itself is nice, new, seemed very cleaned. Parking was limited for the immediate lot, however the large furniture store next door has a ton of parking so I doubt it would ever be an issue. Our server was very attentive and speedy. Beer selection was great. The beer list was delivered on an iPad. Not really sure how I feel about this. The server dropped off the iPad and after ordering he took it back. I would have liked to have a paper copy that I could casually browse at my own pace instead of feeling rushed. Other locations I've been in have had paper copies. I get it that it's much easier to update the iPad list as new beers come and go, but I still think paper is the way to go. Ordered the french fries with beer cheese and bacon crumbles appetizer. It was good, but man on man did they slather on the cheese. It might sound odd, but really there was just too much of the beer cheese on top. We ended up only getting through about half because the cheese was just too overpowering. I felt like I was eating mush (the fries had of course gotten soggy with all the cheese covering them). The flavor was good, and the crispy fries were wonderful. Just need to ease up on that cheese. Overall, not a super amazing experience, but not a bad one either. I will go back again in the future. read more

Ordered 2 fish fries and a basket of cajun shoe strings fries. Received 1.5 orders of Fish Fry and Sweet potato fries. Complained. No refund, no discount on next order, nothing. I see zero reason to help this place stay in business in this pandemic. On top of it, breading for the fish was rock hard. I have yet to find any place in Dane Cty that can do a fish fry properly. read more

If you're needing a quick burger while you're passing through Wisconsin, this place is great. Quick service, good food, lots of beer. My traveling companion and I each got burgers - I got a burger but with beer cheese sauce on the side, and your regular lettuce, onion, tomato and pickles. I was disappointed they don't cook the burgers to order, and I think the burger patty could have been a little bigger - the raw onion rings on top were thicker than the patty. But it was all still good, and that beer cheese is fantastic - dark, indulgent, thick and cheesy. My companion got their house-made kettle chips which were plentiful and crunchy. Our server actively rolled her eyes at us a few times, which was rude and we couldn't figure out why; we didn't know what we wanted within two minutes of sitting down but it's not like we hemmed and hawed or anything? And they weren't that busy, even for a Friday night. It's also super cold in there! Make sure you check if you've got an air vent above you, because if you do, you'll need to wear your zipped up coat. On a better note, they have the cutest little bulldog on the back patio who lets you pet him while he "guards" the place. read more

Struggling to give them a 3. Read the very first review. Deja vu. Servers standing behind the bar not doing much. Finally the bar keep noticed me sitting at a table without a beer and sent a girl over. Sat for 5 or 10 minutes before the pretty blond waitress came over. She brought my beer dropped a menu then left, another 5 or 10 minutes before she returned to get my order. Food selection very limited, but good flavor. Awesome beer selection. Very clean. Wish the service was better. read more
