Mickey's Tavern

Music is on point and a good volume for a Sunday pick me up! Add to it a really great Bloody Mary with all the fixin's and just the right kick. Suffering Fool is a gone mule with added brandy. Never knew how fine Brandy was until she met Gin! Bartenders work well together cleaning in between serving drinks. No food for a chunk of time in the afternoon, but with a chill vibe like this-- I could be here for house!

Mickey's is such a fun brunch spot! Hell - Mickey's is good any time of day! The food is always superb, no matter what you order it's gonna be great! Strong coffee, strong drinks if you wish & the best-lit patio in town! What are you waiting for, Mickey? lolAlso very cozy & cool when it's winter or other inclement weather! GO NOW! You're gonna love it!!!!

When I found out that we were going to have brunch and a bar (you know, take the preggo to another bar) I guess that's only in Madison ha ha, I was a little disappointed. It's no fun to be around other people drinking when you can't. However, Mickey's definitely exceeded expectations. The food was really good. I had the scramble of the day which was bacon, chèvre, tomatoes, and sunflower sprouts. My son had a half order of biscuits and gravy. My scramble was so good-I ate every single bite. My son ate about half of his biscuits and gravy, so we took the rest home and shared it for breakfast the next day. I love that they do half portions of some items and that they have a bottomless coffee and tea bar. Our waitress was really friendly and it was a fun environment. I would definitely like to come back sometime when I am able to have a breakfast cocktail too!

Fun spot to stop for live music, drinks, and food. Have visited a lot but never actually tried the food. Their Mac and cheese is probably in my top 5! Also loved the fries.Bartenders and staff are what makes Mickey's to great. They are wonderful and so friendly. Sitting on the patio is great in the summer, inside is a chill vibe too.Drinks are always great and strong. Not pictured is the Bloody Mary which is also one of my favorites in Madison. Comes with good amount of pickled veggies. Overall, I think everything is super reasonably priced for the great food it is.

My girlfriend and I went for brunch last Sunday. They open at nine and we arrived at about 10:50 AM. They were completely packed already. We were about to leave and go somewhere else in the neighborhood, but then two stools opened up at the bar just as we're about to leave. We quickly swoop them up!. We were both very excited for bloody Mary's. I really did not like mine. I can't describe the flavor. I really wanted to like it, but there was just something about it I didn't care for. Fortunately my girlfriend really liked her bloody Mary so she took my second one. I had the champagne cocktail Instead, and it was very great old school style loved it.. I had the breakfast burrito with potatoes, which was very good and my girlfriend had the eggs Benedict with potatoes. We were happy with the meals. The atmosphere is amazing very old school. It is definitely a neighborhood bar with a hipster/old-school punk rock feel. Awesome and I super recommend if that is the vibe you were into..

From its eclectic look to great prices and very cool, pleasant customers and bartenders this old tavern is the place to be. Check out the jukebox! We didn't have food but the menu is bar food and I heard it's good. It's the 2nd oldest longstanding bar in Madison. A day of Arboretum and hotel stay in the city and dinner out made us happy and the short hike from Pewaukee was a mini vacation getaway. Don't miss it- they have weekend bands too!

Sweet spot to stop in for a quick bite. Old Madison meets New Madison. You can count on anything and everything on being delicious! Fabulous Reuben, sexy fries and slaw. They should have won the WORT chili cook off 2024 #rigged! Great bubbly staff!

I'm a fan of Mickey's Tavern, but it's mostly for the vibe. The location is great, especially if you're near willy street and looking for a casual place to eat and drink, or even just start/end your night. I will say though, outside of the vibe the food is just fine and same with the drinks. Nothing super wowed me, but the entire experience was still a 4 just for the entire once more, vibe that I experienced. Casual, inviting, and overall just a good place to catch up with friends.

My husband and I visited Mickey's Tavern for the first time yesterday and were pleasantly surprised with it! As we walked up to the door, there was a sign that said ''when you're here, you're not at Olive Garden''. We got a good laugh out of it and could tell this would be our type of place. I've heard good things about Mickey's Tavern from my aunt, but always assumed it was a dive bar. That was definitely not the case! The ambiance is really nice. It's dimly lit with neon lights, feminist signs (yes!!!), a cozy bar, a pool table in the back area. We love a good bar and this one was so cute and fun! I ordered a classic Wisconsin Old Fashioned to drink and we ordered ''Sexy Fries''. The fries were thin cut potato slices with truffle oil, Parmesan, crushed red pepper, and salt. They were so flavorful and crispy! We loved them and would definitely order them again.We can't wait to come back and try more things!

Best brunch & staff. Patio vibes immaculate.For the love of god, stock a bottle of cherry doctor for cherry bombs though :)
