Food was good. Not a place to watch sports though if you actually want to hear the game.

The food was quite good, and we all enjoyed our burgers. However, I wouldn't recommend the fried pickle spears; they just didn’t appeal to me. The service was a bit slow for the type of restaurant it is.

This place is a fantastic little food and drink spot located just off the main street. The staff was wonderful, and the service was excellent. It’s known as the oldest bar in Madison...
