First thing is they have touch tunes so you can set your own vibes for the night. The decor and lighting is perfect. A lot of velvet seating and gold accents. It is a dog friendly space which is kind of random for a cocktail bar but I don't mind it. I pet 4 dogs. The bartenders were super nice. I ordered the "Yes you can buy me love" which was Espolon Tequila, Strawberry, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Coconut Milk, Mint, Sugar Rim. It was really good. I also tried my husband's "Stuck in a Snowbank" which was state line coffee liqueur, bourbon cream, frangelico, cold brew. It basically tasted like a coffee that was a little sweeter. All the cocktails were great. Again I'm so glad we stumbled across this stop because even the bar goers were super nice.

The lounge has a moody vibe that you really wouldn't guess from the outside. It's the perfect place to escape the cold and warm up with a cozy cocktail. They also change their cocktail menu seasonally, offering something a little fun for each season. It's evident the owners care about the community, as they are frequently offering events to support local providers (River Valley Food Pantry on the night we were there), and have specials for those who we couldn't be without (hello nurses and teachers). They're also dog friendly!

From start to end, we could not have asked for a better experience! The interior was super cute and gave Golden Girls vibes. They didn't take reservations, so most times you can expect a wait. We waited an hour but didn't mind, as we simply hung out at the fantastic cocktail bar upstairs (looking at you, The Perch!). They specialize in small plates, so I recommend coming hungry with a group so you can try as many dishes as possible. We split the biscuit, cauliflower, charred cabbage, calamarata, rigatoni, mortadella pizzetta, and Berkshire pork chops. All of the plates arrived as they were ready, so everything was very fresh. The biscuit was super buttery and an absolute must-order! I loved the unique sweet and savory combination from the garlic butter and honey. The cauliflower had a savory sauce that was perfectly rounded out by sweet raisins and crispy cheese. The cabbage was slightly crispy and served atop a smoky, creamy dip that reminded me of muhamarra. I would highly recommend both! Next, we tried the pizzetta, which had a thin, crispy Neapolitan style crust that made the dish not too heavy. With high quality mortadella contrasted by a honey drizzle and crunchy pistachios, this was truly an ideal pizza for me. The tomato sauce was one of the most flavorful I've had in awhile. The rigatoni was well cooked and liked, but given the stardom of the other dishes, fell a bit flat comparatively. The only miss for us was the calamarata pasta. It was extremely briny from the minced olives and had a super sharp cheese in the sauce that left a very strong, unpleasant aftertaste. I think this would take a specific palette to enjoy. It wasn't enough to ruin the meal for us overall, though, since everything else was amazing. We rounded out the meal with the pork chops and frites, which was decidedly the highlight. The pork was among the most tender I've ever had, and was perfectly complemented by a flavorful cherry sauce that didn't overwhelm the meat. The fries were also super crispy and addictive. We left absolutely stuffed and in high spirits, unanimously deciding that this was one of the best meals we've had in recent history. I highly recommend paying a visit and would absolutely return next time I'm in Madison!
