It's a great place when you are craving greasy, fried, delicious bar food, and snacks! They serve not only burgers, but cheese curds, wings, and lighter far like salads.

We had some old fashioneds before ordering food, and I thought they were good. Service was super attentive, especially as we delayed ordering to enjoy drinks and an appetizer for a bit. I ordered the beer battered cod fish fry (my staple), and overall it was yummy to eat. The two pieces that came out were enormous and a bit wonky shaped... made me wonder what on earth this fish looked like in its swimming days. The batter was quite tasty, crunchy but not too crunchy/hard, but it was so incredibly think I'm not sure I got fish in every bite. I took one piece home and give the fish part to my pup as a meal topper, and the ratio of breading I had to pull off compared to fish was a bit (quite a bit) much. Still, everything I ate was tasty. I got the salad with my dinner, and was so happy that it came out with quality greens instead of a chunk of iceberg type lettuce. Overall, I'd come back again if others wanted, but wasn't wild about the batter to fish ratio.

I didn't order food, but friends said the burgers and personal pizzas were solid, with a special shout out to the onion rings. There is a deck in the back which was nice to be able to step outside for fresh air between sets. Plenty of lot parking, which is free, but the lot was full when I arrived so I just parked on the street and that was also free and safe. Loved the vibe here. Loved the bartender. Just $15 at the door to see a super-fab two-set show by an amazing Madison band! I'll definitely be back. Often!! And I'll order those onion rings next time!

4.5 First off let me…read moresay this is a really cool, intriguing space. Right on State Street, but once you walk up into the space you wouldn't be able to tell. Not to turn anyone off from checking it out, but think bougie club house. Exposed brick and wood paneling, bar and high top seating, a few little coves with couches and golf/football/soccer (strong golf theme) simulators ($45/hour) and a private area with another simulator ($100 room fee, $200 food/drink minimum). We came for drinks, but we did order the Bacon Wrapped Dates (not stuffed with cheese but comes with a delicious red pepper purée) and Buffalo Chicken Dip (served with bread & tortilla chips for those of you who are gluten sensitive/free). Fair prices and decent food, which is the opinion of myself and two other foodies. A lot of potential, but they're just starting out. I'm excited to see what the future holds for them. Also, if you get a chance, grab a chat with Adam!

Came here for my birthday with the girls and had a fun time! The space was clean, trendy and open…read more There are a total of 6 simulators (1 in a private room) and many sports options, to my surprise! The simulator rate is $20/hour (weeknight rate). Plenty of seating at the bar--along with a lounge'y space with a cute backdrop for photo-ops! I recall four beers on tap, and no drink specials. However, the menu did have a variety of "upscale" bar food! We ordered a fair amount but I only remember eating the curds (3/5) and fried green beans (5/5), which was my fave! PROS: I loved that we were able to try a variety of activities at our own pace! Each area had seating, enough for 6-7 people (sofas or bar stool/counter). Alcohol wipes were available. Music level was good and lighting slightly dimmed--great ambience! We got to chat with Collin (the owner) about his vision and learned that the simulators can pretty much play anything! This means events held here can be both adult AND kid-friendly--woo hoo! Just try not to bring a stroller here, as it's on the second floor with steep steps. Looking forward to more events here...and to what becomes of the outdoor space! CONS: We came on a Tuesday, so there was only one person working the bar + kitchen. Service was a slow as it got busy, and later into the night. There are only two private restrooms (which were nice and clean!). I can see this being a problem, especially for a place that can hold 100+ people. Will be back for more indoor fun!

We enjoyed the baked cod dinner with homemade coleslaw, and fries. (Their fries are always good.) Another family member enjoyed the Reuben, also with fries. The menu offers several burger or grilled chicken options, which is great -- we enjoyed a chicken sandwich with avocado, bacon and cheese with an upgrade to the sweet potato fries. (Their sweet potato fries are also delicious.) Only criticism is the bacon was very fatty and not crispy. This is a nice sit-down option for families, and a great alternative to the fast food places in town. One of our favorites in Whitewater.
