Things To Do
Dane County Farmer's Market
Check out the famous Farmer's Market that takes place every Saturday morning from 6:15am to 1:45pm on the Capitol Square. You can buy fresh produce, enjoy snacks, and check out local vendors.
Marigold Kitchen
Great place for breakfast or brunch. Want somewhere a little more fancy for brunch? Sardine Want a fun/popular spot? Bassett Street Brunch Club Want a quirky/low key brunch spot? Mickey's Tavern on Willy St Want a family friendly spot? Vintage Brewing Capitol East
Genna's Lounge
Everyone loves grabbing a drink from Genna's - it's a classic right on the Capitol Square. Want a drink with great views? Eno Vino Downtown (in the AC Hotel) Want a speakeasy? I don't think we have one...but Nattspil is a hidden gem Want a cocktail with the best music vibes in town? Lola's Hi/Lo Lounge on the north side
Colectivo On the Square
Fuel your day here! Other coffee spots nearby: Cargo Coffee, Cafe Domestique, Wonderstate
Memorial Union
Quintessential Madison place - get a beer, eat some Babcock Ice Cream, sit on the sunburst chairs, and enjoy views of Lake Mendota. Looking for a way to get a workout in while you're here? Rent a bike and do the "Lake Loop" or check out the awesome bike trail system in town
Public Parking Bar
Fun cocktails/fun vibes! Want another cocktail nearby? Robin Room Want a cocktail near the Square? Merchant Want a cocktail with a view? Graze
Camp Randall Stadium
The Badger football team doesn't play in July, but you can go and look at it, I suppose?
LJ's Sports Tavern & Grill
It's a typical sports bar with fun bartenders (we love this place) and is probably the unofficial firefighter bar in Madison. Watch out - they pour heavy! :)
Tornado Steak House
The Tornado Room is a classic spot for a wonderful dinner - they also have a late night menu! Want that "Wisconsin Supper Club Friday Fish Fry" Experience? Toby's Supper Club Want seafood instead of steak? Tempest Oyster Bar Want an amazing meal with a French vibe and cool digs? Sardine
Paradise Lounge
This is a classic Wisconsin "dive bar". It's not fancy, folks. The "Dise" is cozy, it's hella cheap (especially happy hour) - grab a double tall drink or a high life, open some pull tabs, and have a great time. Oh - bring cash! Other dive bars in the area: Caribou Tavern aka "The Bou", Up North Bar Want to check out dives outside of downtown? Le Tigre Lounge (so many tigers - don't cuss), Player's Sports Bar
