What can I say that hasn't been said? My wife and I recently spent the weekend in Madison and I had quite a list of places I wanted to try, all of which were located in the downtown area. Once my wife told me she wanted to stop at Trader Joe's on the way home, I did some research on any establishments worth visiting in the area.
We could not have been happier. As far as food, all we had were the frites, and they were delicious! I did scan the menu and it looked great. Their Belgium and Trippel selection was wonderful and the quality of all their beer was fantastic.
Service was a little lackluster. It was a little after lunch and the girl who served us, while she was very sweet and polite, wasn't very attentive. I had to wait about 5 minutes until I could get her attention to order a second beer. I understand that if it's busy, but it was not. I ordered a Kwak, however, and she poured it quite nicely, so bonus points there.
All in all, great experience, this is a must visit for us every time we visit Madison from here on out.

Had meal on business trip on 5/7. I was considering a few different beers to accompany with my dinner and mentioned to bartender. He made a selection and explained reason for decision. I think he was right on with recommendation. ... Bartender was awesome making recommendations to others at bar based on conversations with other patrons. ... Saw some bottled imports I haven't seen before. ... Definitely would return if in Madison.

This place is great. The beer is very good, of course. It's a nice mix of Belgians, Wisconsin beers, and beers from the Midwest, Oregon, Colorado, etc. Even Tennessee.
The food was as good as the beer, which often is not the case. The cheese plate selections were exceptional. The service was friendly and fairly efficient.
The vibe is friendly restaurant. It's not a raucous party bar. You can actually talk to your companion ... just think of that!!

Visited Great Taste Eve 2015. Prennial tap takeover, but I was solo and able to find a seat at the bar. Besides the fantastic Perennial list the overall selection was incredible, as was the food. Service at the bar was spot on. I hope to be able to go back here everytime I visit Madison. I made it to a lot of places GT Eve and this place stood out as the best.

along with the wine and hop shop, Monroe St is now a beer incubator destination!

This place is kinda small. It can certainly get crowded. Some bright colors and closely confined tables. Good service that knows their beer. Great list, too. Lots of local taps. The food is really good.
