This is the ultimate in Wisconsin's local neighborhood tavern. The service was spectacular. The bartender was top notch, with over 25 years experience running the show, ans was very attentive to everyone in the place. The selections of sauces for the food was extensive, and all were very flavorful, particularly the mango habeñero sauce.

The Bou's ambience. Great. Winslow's drinks and food? Top notch. But that is all relative to W's high quality bartending and supreme caretaking, purely complemented by his wife's warmth & laughs. A certain highlight of our trips to Madison, now and in the future

A local legend. Friendly folk fine fare and plenty of libations to please any palate. This was my favorite bar in the city when I lived here and I'm glad to see it hasn't lost any of its charm.

Service was slow terrible wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone! The servers were underpaid and malnutritioned! The cook was terrible!

terrible service, rude staff who encouraged fighting between customers and engaged in extremely toxic behavior, used to be good but has taken a dive

This is the kind of joint you want to lie about so other humans won’t find it and eventually ruin it or at least my “it”. Cool little neighborhood spot to be you at. Great staff, reasonable prices and a burger your mouth will water for. The Caribou Tavern is a bar first but if you came to eat remember they have a strict dress code, reservations aren’t accepted and bring your A game if ya have one. As a bonus you can do a load of whites nexts door. The gentle cycle will keep ‘em white longer except for those blood stains and whatever else that is……I’ll be back because gems like these are few and far between. Enjoy….
