Pizza Night!!!!

When we want the best pizza in Madison we head to the basement of the Italian Labors Hall to Greenbush Bar. They serve the best super thin crust with just the right amount of toppings and have a stellar wine list too. Last night was Monday night an evening that is usually a slow one but with the Lady Badgers playing and everyone out because the temps were warmer it was a zoo!!! We chose not to wait for a table but bellied up to the bar and had a glass of wine while we waited for our delicious pizza - a large with sausage, mushroom and banana peppers - yum! The pizza here is not super filling so you can share a whoel pie and not feel stuffed but really satisfied with the flavors and texture. It was so busy that they had run out of Cabernet, Tempranillo and Zinfandel - wow we settled for a Shiraz that was very nice just right with dinner. One of the best things about the Greenbush is that they serve until late - 11 PM they are part of our late night dining club ..more on that in another post. Service is usually friendly and prompt -even on a busy night the bartender did a very good job of keeping everyone happy! So if you wan to try the best thin crust in Madison - head over to the Greenbush Bar - open after 4 PM - except on Sundays they are closed.

In a special side note - Greenbush Bar has one of the best and most affordable selections of Scotch & Irish Whiskys and Bourbons in Madison. If you can't find it here it is not in the city of Madison. And the prices - pretty unbelievable too.....go have a drink and relax!

Happy Hour at Broccah

If you love Scotch and Irish whisky like we do then do not want to miss happy hour at Broccah. When we get the chance we love to get there to enjoy half price, yes half price premium whisky and half price pints of Guiness. They have this daily M-F 4-6pm and it is just a great place especially when the temps have dropped outside and you are looking for a treat to warm your cockles. The service is always friendly and professional at the bar where as you know by now we prefer to be in most establishments. Looking at the spirits list here gives you a chance to try many wonderful whiskys at reasonable prices - even Middleton rare is only $11 for a 2 ounce pour during the happy hour. We tend to stick to favorites on the scotch side, Oban 14 yr and on the Irish whisky side it is Tellamoredew or Knapouge Castle both yummy. We hope you get a chance to get by for a pint and a sip of some tasty whisky. We will be there this winter on occasion to enjoy the warm atmosphere and good music.
