Ended up taking 12 bags of curds with us back home. Staff were super friendly and enjoyed interacting with customers. Definitely go back when in Madison, Wi.

Stop reading this review now and USE UAL FOR YOUR WEDDING. I had spent so many hours figuring out…read morewhat to purchase, who to use, and what to buy, when what I should have done is go to Herb in the first place. Herb is AMAZING at what he does, he provided clear and concise emails that helped me figure out the kegs I wanted to use for my wedding, the wine, and he even provided other items such as ice, tubs, soda, and water. He was great to communicate with, wonderful to work with, and such a nice person. After all of the stress from other vendors and my venue it was such a relief to speak with him and receive amazing informative emails with all of the information and options laid out so it was easy to choose. Please use UAL for your wedding or party needs. (he also picks up and delivers which was a great help)

Last year, I…read morevisited to grab a bottle of wine from one of my favorite rock 'n' rollers' brand, and the store had it in stock. This year, I called ahead to ask about wine and beverage cups, and was pleasantly surprised to speak to a real, live person who not only confirmed they had what I was looking for but also told me exactly which aisle it was in. It's refreshing to get that kind of personal touch, especially in a place that might seem like just another big-box store. Located on the south side of West Towne Mall, it's easy to find, well-stocked, and the service goes above and beyond. I'll definitely keep coming back!

Riley's is my choice of Madison-based liquor stores. There's nothing wrong with others, and I…read morepatronize several, but RIley's is hard to beat. Aside from their incredible selection, they bring in a lot of private barrels of whiskey that you're unable to get anywhere else. The prices are very fair, not the cheapest in town, not the most expensive. The staff is very friendly. One of the great things about Riley's is their allocated lottery system. You don't have to be "in the know" to get hard-to-find whiskeys. You sign up on their email list, they email you when an allocated item is in stock, and you choose if you're interested or not. If you're interested, you're entered into a draw, and if you win, you get to buy it. This is a much more fair deal than other stores, where I've simply been told, "We have some long-time customers who will get that, you won't." Located a few blocks from the UW, this is a must-visit store. Don't forget what many do - there's an upstairs with a lot more than what's on the main floor. Cheers!

The entire staff was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely seemed happy we were there. Terry was especially fantastic--super engaging, took the time to chat with us, and made us feel like regulars instead of travelers just passing through. The beer is just as solid as the food. They poured a fantastic hazy IPA that was so good I ended up taking a crowler home on day one of our trip! The burgers were excellent too--great flavor, cooked perfectly, and exactly what we needed after a long day on the road. The beer, food, atmosphere, and service all came together to make this a memorable stop. If you're in the Madison area, don't miss this place. We'll definitely be back the next time our adventures bring us through!

I stopped in to Cork N' Bottle while visiting Madison on a weekend getaway and I will say I was…read moreinitially very impressed. They have a great stock and I believe the employee who was working the day I stopped in genuinely care about me as a customer and my business. I am looking a a specific, rare spirit. Cork N' Bottle's website boasts: "We were established in 1960, so if you're interested in it, we've probably seen it-- whether it's a rare bourbon, limited-edition run from an obscure brewery, or a small-production wine from a tiny appellation in the middle of nowhere. We're passionate about what we sell, and we're dedicated to curating an interesting rotating selection of delicious and sometimes hard-to-find beverages of all sorts. Want a special order? We're your store." So I decided to stop in and when I did, the employee I spoke to was very kind and gave me some tips about how I might find it and suggested that I call on Monday to speak to the employee who handles purchasing for this type of spirit. When I did, the employee I spoke to on the phone was incredibly condescending. It doesn't bother me that the store doesn't have the spirit in stock or the ability to specifically make sure I get a bottle. What bothers me is that the man I spoke to on the phone made me feel stupid for even asking if they may have some come in stock. I understand certain spirits are really hard to come by and it can be frustrating dealing with these type of requests if it's something that is in high demand, but it is exceptionally poor customer service to ridicule someone for asking a question when the website specifically boasts of the business' ability to help find rare bottles. All that being said, they do have a nice selection and the employee I dealt with in the store was delightful. I would consider going back for simple shopping as there didn't seem to be high mark up on things that tend to be harder to come by, but I would not ever ask for assistance from staff again.

While we were very happy with our enormous half-pretzel and my partner said Prost made the best beer cheese sauce she'd ever tasted, our mains were kinda lackluster. My partner remarked that the Beyond Bratwurst merely tasted like breakfast sausage. The sauerbraten was just some plain pulled pork with a scant drizzle of sauerbraten gravy, nothing like the well-marinated real deal. The potato pancake wasn't really pancake-y, more like some glorified shredded hash browns. The red cabbage was kinda bland. The pickled veg that accompanied the sausage plate looked and tasted fresh and crisp, with a nice hint of warm spice present in the carrots. The space is a pleasing reuse of an old deconsecrated church, with the requisite beer hall-style dining benches. Sports play on the televisions in the main dining hall and above the bar. In summary, I guess you gotta know what Prost!'s strengths are. Their pretzel is epic, but most everything else seemed to fall short. If you're there just for the beer, you can't go wrong.
