Fun atmosphere- tons of TVs, pinball, darts and pool tables. Food is good! Highly recommend the nachos, they're huge. Gym in building too for league sports.

This place has some potential but needs a lot of care and updates. We didn’t order any food, saw online they had a Caesar salad so we went there for that and to shoot some darts. Menu has changed no Caesar salad. Need to update the web. The place is very dirty…. Needs a major cleaning. The glass doors look like closing time at Chuck E Cheese. There’s a whole colony of dust bunnies hanging from each pendant, flag and jersey. Played some darts after pulling seven broken tips out of the board. There’s still at least ten in each board. Need to have those serviced. Pool tables need to be leveled and cleaned. Shuffle board is broken. Bartenders are crabby (except one really nice older gentleman with white hair). Played a couple songs on TouchTunes because it said it was available….. someone came over and paused that during first song. At least I’m only out two songs but if you don’t want people playing it pause it asap.

One of my favorite sports bars. Don't live on that side of town anymore, so getting there while the car was in the shop nearby was a treat for me.

The service was great, and the atmosphere is super cool for watching a game. There are lots of games to play including pool, basketball, volleyball, and cornhole. We ordered a quesadilla as an appetizer, and had a couple burgers for dinner. The food was fresh and hot, but we were disappointed about the lack of flavor (for everything). The burgers, fries, and quesadilla— they all just tasted really plain. We wouldn’t ever eat there again, but would consider having drinks for a game.

A Madison area sports fan institution. An incredible collection of old sports artifacts, decent beer selection, good food, and a handful of quality pinball tables. A perfect place for NFL Sundays to watch every game.

Great place for an extended family gathering. They were very attentive to us and reserving the game room was helpful so we had activities. The guys said the chicken wings were awesome.

If you love sports and have kids, this is a great place to eat and have the kids entertained. They have a basketball gym I believe is for booking, so lots for the kids to do. Food is great and beer selection is nice as well. Service is always on point and the radio always has good music playing. Never too loud or too low. Always the biggest hits.
