Description

On this homepage, you will find the complete menu of Madison Lighthouse from Madison. Currently, there are 17 dishes and drinks available.

Perched on a barge along the Ohio River in Madison, IN, this updated, cash-only riverfront spot pairs panoramic water views and live music with hearty, well-priced bar fare—think generous fish-and-chips, fried combos and cold beers. Friendly staff and a boat-in dock make it a popular daytrip and weekend hangout, though service can be slow when busy and some guests report flat soda and missing condiments on carryout orders. Note: smoking is permitted at tables and the place is seasonal and subject to river conditions.

My son and I enjoy taking drives together, so I came across a website called Daytrip Cincinnati and decided to explore some options for a leisurely Sunday outing. While browsing the western region recommendations, I stumbled upon a discussion about Madison, IN. Although I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, I was intrigued...

If you're lucky, Marley will be your bartender—she's fantastic! We make it a point to visit the Lighthouse every time we're in Madison during their seasonal hours. The food is incredible, the view is stunning, and the drinks are delicious!

The food was delicious and the view of the river was breathtaking. We came for a starter and stayed for hours enjoying the company and ambience. The staff was so incredibly friendly and accommodating. We were supported by Chelsea and Amy at the bar. If you stay in Madison area, this is a local jewel!

All about the view, it is about the view of the Ohio River. The service staff is friendly and short staffed. Be patient. The food was tasty, served up quickly and the fish and chips came with three large filets. The soup of the day was a mildly spicey creamy chicken soup. Ice cold beers. They are closing soon for the winter, glad to have found this spot floaring on the barge and enjoying the view and good food with family.

I love the view of the river and the food is all good. I HATE HATE HATE the cigarette smoking. It should never be allowed. I would give this a five star review except for the hideous ashtrays on every table. Please ban the smoking in your establishment. It hurts everyone including your wait staff.
