We also ordered the pretzel for the first time and it was one of the best pretzels I've ever had.

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.

They were efficient with the flow of people, most not having to wait. They offer self-serve coffee ($3)/water, and can order other drinks - I thought the coffee was well brewed. Our server was kind, attentive, and our food came out fast. We went with the carnitas verdes and the rooster. Both were decent, good portion size, and good value. We preferred the rooster a bit more - like a breakfast blt - super flavorful sauce on it and good bacon! The carnitas just didn't hit for us, lacked the flavor we were looking for but the meat was well cooked. Loved the ambiance and vibes here, felt like an old school small town spot where everyone hangs!

If you like beer (and I mean GOOD beer, not Budweiser), you need to check this place out…read more While househunting in the area, my boyfriend and I became curious about the little bar on the corner with no signage. We ended up buying a house within stumbling distance, and needless to say, the Malt House has become a favorite neighborhood hangout. The bartenders are friendly, and if you have questions about any of the beers in their gigantic selection, they will gladly tell you what they know with no beer snobbery whatsoever. They occasionally have live music, but it's acoustic, so it doesn't get too loud in the tiny space. It's far enough away from downtown that it doesn't get obnoxiously crowded. They don't have food, but you can order delivery or bring your own in with you. I LOVE this bar. Period.

I like that you can sit outside on the patio with dogs. Young Blood even gave us a small water bowl for our dog on our last visit. Definitely a chill place to sit inside too as it is nice and pretty spacious, although no dogs inside. Giving four stars because parking can be a challenge when they have events going on.

And again I got only a blunt, "I can only make an Americano". No, "Sorry, we can only do Americanos." And no offer to charge me the price of a basic coffee (no basic coffee...at a coffeshop, imagine that!). And then when we recieved out cofee, no, "Thanks for stopping in". Noting but a, "Here's your coffee, this one has cream". If you want a sterile hipster atmosphere without any cozy, then this is the place for you!

It's a fun hang out spot with decent service and a cute vibe, with lots of long bench tables.

**July 2025: Late Morning Visit**…read more Spotted Cow! The city of New Glarus is basically a Spotted Cow destination! Wherever you go most restaurants will serve this beer, which is very malty. This beer is only available in Wisconsin but if you want the seasonal stuff visiting the New Glarus Gift shop will give you the most options Tuesday-Saturday: 10am-5pm I think the tasting option is $8 for 3 pours. It's a good way to try out all the different options before deciding on which bottles (or cans) you want to buy. The Stone Soup (Seasonal) was my favorite, but you can't go wrong with the original Spotted Cow. I think the majority of the seasonal beers were in bottles. I think they come in packs of either 4 or 6. The prices here are pretty comparable to if you buy them from a Wisconsin Target, but the big box stores have less variety. Since I was doing a big cross country roadtrip my weight allowance could not' accommodate everything I wanted *cries* and they don't ship their booze *cries* Next time I come back I'll make sure to make bring an empty suitcase! If you're visiting New Glarus your trip won't be complete without a visit to the factory (gift shop)!

An Unexpected Hidden Gem! What an unexpected surprise! I was…read morejust driving through the area with no intention of stopping at a brewery when I stumbled across this place. I've been to a lot of craft breweries, and I have to say this is now one of my all-time favorites. The concept is simple but awesome this isn't your typical bar. There's no indoor seating, but there's plenty of outdoor space on the other side of the parking lot. You come inside, pay $8 for a beer, and get to keep the glass. Or you can sample three beers for $8, keep the glass, and get a coin for a free beer in town. They also sell beer to go and other fun merch with their logo. The staff was super nice and friendly, and the vibe was relaxed and welcoming. I tried the Oktoberfest, the Pilsner, and the totally naked. All were fantastic! If you're anywhere near the area, definitely stop by you won't regret it.
