Tipsy Cow is located on the square in downtown Madison and serves both food and beer. Michael and Allison both agree they have the best cheese curds around (Allison suggests the goat cheese curds)!

Hop Haus is where Michael and Allison went on their first date. They have a wide selection of craft beers, food, and seating available. Note that the Verona location is smaller with a minimal menu.

Michael and Allison think the cheese curds at Craftsman Table & Tap are a close second to the curds at Tipsy Cow. They are award-winning, so we aren't alone!

Grumpy Troll is a local favorite in Mount Horeb, located only 5 minutes from our venue The Eloise. They have classic pub food and beer with a rotating burger of the month.
