Reviews for Wando's in Madison, WI
Cool little joint! It was our nightly go to spot for the week. We're not from Madison but apparently it's a local hot spot with... a cool history. Bartender said the owner was there a lot but out of town at the moment. Hate we didn't get to have a beer withhim.???? Awesome atmosphere and the staff was friendly and attentive! If we ever make it back up from Georgia definitely willconsume more beverages there!???? JUMP AROUND!! IYKYK!!???? Read more
Good drinks, service and a central stop for UW games.
It was just kind of a disappointing time for me. They were playing Hannah Montana music which kind of threw off my vibe. The... ?iconic? fish bow was mainly ice and Gatorade didn?t taste any alcohol. And for $16 for a smaller, watered down drink, I think Ihave a right to feel disappointed. The bouncers were nice though! Spent the rest of my night at state street brats instead! Read more
It is a great place if your looking to go out and have fun friends, but I wouldn't recommend going by yourself. The security... there is god awful and dont care if your phone is stolen or getting robbed by a group of people on the 3rd floor or bathroom.Always crowded and the bouncers never pay attention up stairs.

Great service and UNDERRATED FOOD. the food and drink menu is very extensive. The best college sports atmosphere downtown. The... staff is friendly, run a tight ship, and are engaging and have quick service compared to the other bars in the area. Familyfriendly on the first two floors, and a dance floor on the third. Wandos has something for everyone. Nora is the bestbartender. Read more
Stopped with a small bachelorette party of four, we were greeted immediately and instructed where to sit, the bartenders were... able to take an idea (fruity shot, not picky) and get us something we would all drink. We only stayed for the one drink, buteveryone was friendly, the atmosphere accommodating and fun. Heads up there are a good amount of stairs, not sure if there arealternate accommodations. Read more
Classic college bar, but fine place for drinks during the day. Downstairs and upstairs areas. Fine drink prices and specials.... Bartender was a little distant despite a small crowd, but the other staff members were friendly. Good place to watch a game.Haven't heard many good things about the night life, but have not had motivation to come back and experience it myself. Overall,it's okay during the day, but I wouldn't stay here too long. Read more
Terrible bar. They charge you TO DANCE. Had to pay $45 for 4 people after I spent so much money on their terrible drinks.... Bartenders are less than competent. They throw drinks together that always end up tasting like rubbing alcohol. DJ is average.Nothing special at all. Very cramped space and not worth any money to dance in their tiny establishment.
