Reviews for Bear & Bottle in Madison, WI
Great place to get a bite to eat and have a drink. Wonderful beer selection. Place was clean staff was friendly. Would... definitely be back. Read more
I ordered the "BIG Sandwich", and my picture doesn't quite do it justice because there's a whole strip steak hidden between the... bread. Every part of the sandwich was delicious and the sweet potato fries were nice and crispy (but could have used a littlemore salt). The beer menu here is high quality with a wide selection. Overall, my meal was upscale steak & potatos & beer for adecent price and I recommend eating here or hanging out at the bar. Read more
Bear & Bottle is more than just the average neighborhood bar. The bar caught my eye with the large patio, open garage doors and... a west coast look and feel. The space sounds a bit "canny" due to the wood and steel interior but conversations are muffled bythe many screens broadcasting sports. Had the opportunity to down a few pints and the recommended appetizers from our server wasa hit. Nachos are tasty without the fuss, large portion with enough chips to share, same with their farm fresh salads. Thekitchen knows how to fire the meats and fish. Local Craft brews from the surrounding area makes the stop worthwhile. There'ssomething familiar with the menu and kids will certainly enjoy their burgers and tacos. Bear & Bottle missed a five star due tothe limited staff, which on a weekend contributed to longer service times on the patio. We're not discouraged and willdefinitely be back for some of the west coast IPAs. Read more
I went there for lunch, but on Saturday & Sunday 10a-2p they serve brunch. It has a good variety of dishes and drinks. I had... pigs in a blanket with eggs and hashbrowns. It was good and I go back. Bear & Bottle has a great atmosphere and friendlyservice. Great neighborhood place. Read more
Fridays are way much more than fish fries. Pescatarian options are abundant, unique, and delicious on Fridays. The regular menu... is also incredibly versatile that caters to many different tastes. Very consistent kitchen. Staff here is always superfriendly and the place has a really nice vibe. Try the deviled eggs to start off, and make sure you save room for dessert onthe weekends. Read more
We have passed by this place many times, and decided to finally give it a try on Christmas Eve. It was a good choice. The server... was friendly and the food and drinks were very tasty. We skipped over the appetizers because they seemed pricey and notinteresting to us, but our sandwich selections were excellent and they came with sides, which doesn't seem common these days. Wewere very satisfied with our meals. Read more
A lovely selection of cocktails, a small menu of all great food. Friday fish fry was delicious. I also love the pride and trans... flag they have flying on their patio. Read more
So good! I had the Mexican Street Corn Chicken Tacos (lots of lime and a perfectly seasoned sauce). He had the Slammin' Salmon... Cobb Salad (with seared and blackened salmon, huge pieces of crunchy bacon, etc). Really yummy! Roller doors to bring theoutside in. Casual but classy atmosphere. Better than what you expect for pub food. Nice representation of craft brews. Serverwas attentive, knowledgeable, sweet. We'll be back. Read more
