Don't have the Friday fish here. I tried the stab it with a knife trick and the hard shell coating made it slide around the plate.

This is a classic dive bar, a refreshing trip to the past for this jaded gen xer who grew up frequenting similar establishments in the 1980s and 90s in Madison , very welcoming diverse crowd, nice to see younger people appreciating the ambiance and the reasonably priced drinks. Staff was very

The food is amazing. Pretty much on par with the wisco. Brocci Bites, Brocci Bites, Brocci Bites.For as much as I love this place, there are a few things that should be mentioned.I have seen more guns outside of this place than a gun show. People kinda just tend to flash them here. Which is weird because it is less than a block away from several cop related shops.Bringing a girl here usually gets a large Samoan man very angry at me. He yells spit into my face about how women love him, and not me. It'd be funny if it weren't so gross.The people who work here are pretty awesome except for one person.I have talked to the other staff about them, and they all seem to know this guy, and seem to back him up (when he's there), but have no idea why he doesn't like me. I have a good time when I don't see himThis happens at any bar I see him at. Either i see him before i walk in, or he sees me and says "Nope. Get out. You took a beer"I uh, have offered to pay for said beer. Several times. Come in during the day to inquire about it. Nothing.So if you look out for large angry Somoans, guns, and douches in backwards hats and mustaches; this place is pretty great

Great bar food.... their tendies are fantastic!Great bartenders... when we walk in, they already are working on our drinks!Lots of great people and they have a curbside seating/smoking areaIt might be a downtown bar but it's one of my favorite local bars!

My tab came to $9 and some change for a few pints of beer on 10/17/23. Tipped $4. When the charge came through on my debit card, they gouged me for $23 and some change. Beware of using a debit card at this establishment. Check the receipt.
The bartenders could be more sillyBut the grilled cheese did slap

Paradise Lounge could be a bar anywhere in small-town WI, but it is right near the Capitol building. Great place, friendly people, cheap prices. The only thing missing was a moving Hamm's beer sign.
