Badger's Pub

Came in for thanksgiving and got the king treatment from Trent and Morgan. Couldn't have asked for better service.

Left $1 tip for each draft beer we bought (which any moron/jackass could serve within 25 seconds). Bartender offered a free drink because she messed up on something and then rescinded on the offer stating, "I can't add this on comp tab". Not a big deal. When we closed out she became emotionally reactive, verbally volatile, and attacted us for "not leaving 20% tip" by yelling across the bar, "10%, they only left a 10% tip!!" so everyone around could hear --which under basic 2nd grade math was not true. She subsequently came up to us and yelled in our face about the tip amount.We felt very uncomfortable and left our drinks half full. She showed behaviors that indicated that she was high off a "substance" that may have triggered the aggression.

Badgers is an awesome laid back bar that's great for a Friday night if your trying to avoid the rambunctious club crowds and grab a drink with friends. The door guy was super funny and personable the whole night. He was a great sport and participated in our stupid drunk jokes. Come here for a fun chill night!

Strolled in here on a night out at South Broadway. On a night without a significant Wisconsin sporting event still a nice scene, the kind of place where you can spend a significant amount of time and feel welcomed. Coors Banquet on tap which is a plus and served cold! Would highly recommend.

Wow, this place used to be fun.... What happened? My friends and I were treated to a less than friendly experience by the apparently new manager tonight. Savannah is the new sheriff in town and quickly realized why all her deputies have quit their jobs.... It's unfortunate that this spot has been a favorite of so many of us... especially after Covid restrictions finally let us get out and have some fun, the atmosphere was less than inviting and felt stale similar to the drinks we were served. We felt ignored and less than welcome due to the way the place is being managed. Keep in mind I have never met the manager before but witnessed the way she spoke to one of her bartenders and felt compelled to write a review so the business doesn't completely get ran into the ground. When staff is leaving and it's not because of lack of hours but due to management, it should be a sign to fix the problem not the people. Cheers!

go to hell with your doorguy But your bartender she was great but the guy at the door had no involvement on me talking about hunting animals I am a registered both Concealed Hunter I was talking to a customer in there and I got asked to leave that's some bullshit

I went to this bar on the night of my 21st and as soon as I walked in and pulled out my ID, the bartender who was working (12 AM on June 27) immediately stated how she refused to serve me. I did not even say one word. She then went on to talk to me in a condescending and demeaning tone. She completely ruined my outlook on bars as this was the first bar I intended to go to on my 21st because I love the Wisconsin Badgers. Very horrible experience, especially since I was so excited for this pub! Very unfortunate.

Maybe I'm naive, but I didn't know open racism like this still existed in major cities. Jamie and "Tall" refused to serve me. I was a little frustrated watching everyone to my left and right be served repeatedly while I was skipped over and over, but I didn't at all think it was racial.But another patron at the bar, a friend of a regular, actually told me, "hey man it sucks but some people in this city are just racist." And after spending 30 minutes in that bar literally unable to get a drink while everyone else (all white) was served repeatedly, I don't know what else to attribute it to. All I know is I won't be coming back!

Steve was the best person I've Met at badgers! Gave us the best best tequila shots 5/5 stars !

the doorman (Bam, I think was his name?) was very polite and was very on top of checking EVERY ID (we watched him). haha also the bartenders were kicking ass (Morgan and another guy) and it was packed in here due to a memorial, and that was great to see the comradere at this local bar for the sad loss of a local.
