Great local spot in Madison, WI downtown. Owners are nice and welcoming. Fresh italian food next door too!

This is a gay classic! A definite must visit. Friendly bar staff, fun accessories in "the cage" and they have a underwear night. This is a gay bar in the traditional sense. Not the place to bring your girl BFF. If you catch my drift. They ha e darts and pool most nights too.

I was there Monday evening for underwear night with some friends from work. There were about ten of us there. We invited another friend, Ross, to join us and when he walked in he was immediately told to leave and that he was not welcome there. It was so random. Clearly the bartender has some mental issues. We all decided to leave and will never be back. Ross informed us of why he was banned and I feel for him. He was not treated fairly or with respect. We initially had a great time but after the way the bartender Austin treated our friend, we will not be back. Not a good place to go. Austin is very acerbic, disrespectful and toxic. I would recommend another gay bar.
