They have a beautiful outdoor venue, on the lake! We went to the Memorial Day event to listen to The Jimmy's. Had one of the best char grilled hamburgers I've ever eaten!
Wonderful club right on the lake with good food. Great music and outdoor Tiki Bar that has a wonderful view of the capital!
It was a bit chilly, but it was great to be outside by the tiki hut with a tropical drink in hand and to listen to live music by the waterfront.
This place is unique in Madison. It feels homey and familiar, like you're back home in your small town and all of these people know your parents or your siblings or went to school with your cousin. Get a coconut rum cocktail in a plastic cup and sit on the grass on the lakeshore watching the sunset create a silhouette of the capital dome. It's heaven. No photo can do it justice, but here's mine anyway.
Super fun; great staff; great place to host an event. I went to a fundraiser for Primates Inc., which is a great nonprofit you must check out when you get a chance! Went off without a hitch!
So great to have these fun outdoor venues for music and hanging out with friends. Basic food truck food with beer, wine, seltzer drink options.
Visited as part of a work party, I get the feeling that the karaoke and raffle was on the more rowdy end of the events they host. The building has a very refined feel to it, and is clearly proud of its history, with dozens of photographs lining the entry. The upper floor had a small open bar near the back, and boasts a truly gorgeous view of the lake at sundown. I doubt I'll be back as an individual, but I'd definitely consider it for a medium-sized formal event.
Went to an Ecuadorean graduation party last night at The East Side Club and the place was hopping. The Club has always been a great venue for events from weddings to passings and celebrations of all sorts. The beautiful setting on Lake Monona is now being used to it's full potential with music nights hosted by the outdoor Tiki Bar. Last night every inch of lawn was taken up by bocce ball enthusiasts.
