“We LOVED the domes! The actual bar and restaurant area were awesome, and the bathroom was very clean, but we spent the bulk of our time in our dome.The food, drinks, fast and friendly service, partnered with an awesome winter atmosphere made for an awesome girls' night.“
“Great neighborhood bar. Not a lot of bars like this place in Madison. Most nights have something going on. Bingo, trivia and they almost always have some kind of food truck offering. The bartenders are friendly and very personable and make coming to this bar a treat every week.“

“Good beer, actually one of the best in town. Nice, strong, intense beer styles, some quite rare, no wimpy Mexican lagers or session IPAs in sight. Good, unobtrusive service, unlike some downtown pubs. No blaring TVs which is rare these days - a nice spot to enjoy beer, talk, or think.“
“Micheal the sales rep actually took the time to try to call the distributor and find this wonderful gluten free nector of the gods for my other half. What an awesome thing to call and actually have a human… and a kind one… on top of it she loved the Beer! Let us know if you want to open an alt up in Neenah !“
“Not a bad house beer in the bunch. Great vibe, pinball machines are a plus. The focus here is on tart, funky blended beers. And he execution of those is phenomenal. Great and friendly staff. If sours or pinball are your thing, this is a must go in Madison.“
“I had a surprise 70th birthday party for my wife and about 30 people. Tom, the owner, provided a small room with an additional area where we could expand and helped me decide how much food was needed.The staff was fantastic, food and beer tasty, and a fine was had by all!“
“I just stopped in for one beer. I saw it on their online menu and wanted to try it. "This Guy Fishes." My favorite beers are Doppelbock, and I've never heard of a "Helles" (light) colored Doppelbock. It is very good. I'm glad that I stopped in.“
“There is no question that this brewery is different, like their beer. Right when you walk up you'll know that this place is weird with a unique vibe. It has more of a warehouse/industrial atmosphere. A good space and bartender was friendly. The beers were good and they have a good tap list. They had a lot of unique interpretations on styles of beer. It's not a commercial mass appeal brewery but really feels like a place run by people who really love beer. We wish we had more time to sample more of their beers.“
“The Vintage provided a private room for a work function that had plenty of seating and standing tables. The food was great and our host was actively checking in to make sure we had everything we needed at all times. The private bar was a bonus. Everyone enjoyed themselves and I would highly recommend the Vintage for any gathering.“
“My mom and I had a wonderful experience here last night before a concert! The wait was a tad long, but that could have been avoided if I made reservations. The Hosts were super friendly & the server was also very kind and attentive! Even with a packed house our food came out very fast and was delicious! If I ever come back to Madison, I will definitely return here!“
“An awesome brewery with a great beer selection! Open all year, but especially attractive in the warmer months where they have a HUGE outdoor seating area complete with a stage where they have regular live music! Food trucks also frequently visit in the summer! A great spot to hang out.“
“We love Octopi. Great beer, food is pretty good. MOST of the staff is friendly and helpful but that brings me to the 4 stars instead of 5. The last handful of times we’ve gone, there’s a couple particular staff members that are pretty rude for no apparent reason. I assumed with the first negative experience that they just were just having a bad day, but at this point just consistently cranky. Kind of ruins the experience. We’ve started going a lot less because of it.In a nutshell, beer and food is good but there’s a good chance you could get some hostile service.“
