What you need to know

  • Live Music is a Must – We feature local bands and the occasional rogue musician Monday thru Friday evenings with styles ranging from bluegrass to funk.

  • A Great Atmosphere – Our bar and deck are filled with friendly folks who hang out on a regular basis, and we always look forward to seeing new faces.

  • Location is Key – We are located on the isthmus between Lake Monona and Lake Mendota. Plus, we’re within walking distance of the Capital Square, State Street and UW-Madison campus.
