State Line Distillery

Distillery

👍👍 Some of the best crafted drinks we have had in Madison. We loved the ambience of the bar area. It had a mixture of rustic and natural (some live plants decorating the interior). Can't wait to come back!

Tasting Room

Lounge

👍👍 The Tasting Room is a wonderful cigar lounge. The indoor space is close in and richly comfortable. The walk-in humidor has an amazing cigar selection, and the bar is well stocked with great whiskey. The outside patio is so lovely and relaxing... Great for the good weather months! Regulars can rent...

Jardin

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 I was tempted to write that this was the “best vegan food” we’ve had, but I think that would do it a disservice. It really was some of the “best food” we’ve had, vegan or not. We had the garden salad (see photo), the yuba salad (see photo), the lobster mushroom pasta dish, and the warm oat cookie wi...

Imaginary Factory

Distillery

👍👍 Very good, creative cocktails. And fun cute space! Garage doors in the back and front open up on nice days making it semi open air. And they have a ping pong table which is very fun. 10/10 would recommend for a chill drink in the willy street area.

Cafe CODA

Jazz club

👍👍 The music here is simply incredible! Excellent band! Unfortunately the acoustics were not good, and the cocktails might just have been the worst I’ve ever had in Madison. I’d come again, but I’ll stick to beer next time 🍺 Edit: I came back a year later and the cocktails were much improved 😀 and t...

Buck & Honey's - Monona

Restaurant

😐 We decided to stop by since I heard it was a great patio. I enjoyed the ambiance and the boats, at first the service was good, host was very kind and got us seated right away. We had the bartender as a server downstairs. It dropped off almost completely after we ordered. We never received any refill...
