Jon highly recommends Octopi brewing as it is also home to Untitled Art, a shared favorite for Jon and Zoë with delicious stouts, IPA's, craft seltzers, and everything in between.
You might recognize this familiar favorite as it served as one of the locations for Jon and Zoë's engagement photos! Located in the heart of downtown Madison with an amazing vibe and a beautiful interior, we highly recommend stopping by for a beer or taking some to go!
The beer recommendations continue with a recent new favorite in Hop Haus. Located outside the city, it is well worth the drive for the delicious beer and great food!
Memorial Union is a great spot and a place Zoë's parents spent a lot of time at in college! Hang out on the terrace at sunset and enjoy our gorgeous lake and a beer! Don't forget some of the famous Babcock Ice Cream!
We would be remiss not to include the Wisconsin staple, New Glarus Brewing Co. While it is not located in the city, it is approximately a 39 minute drive and if you're not coming the state, it may be your only chance to check out this exclusively Wisconsin brewery!
How often do you get to go to a free zoo?! If you have kids the zoo is a must! And did we mention it's free!
Enjoy a lovely walk and beautiful gardens!
Visit the popular Dane County Farmers Market on Saturday morning on the Capital Square. One of Zoë's favorite stops is for Stella's spicy cheese bread!
Take a quick 15 minute walk to the end of the Picnic Point peninsula. You'll get a pretty awesome view of Madison that you won't get anywhere else. This is also where Zoë's bridesmaid Savannah and her husband got engaged!
Eno Vino is a rooftop bar that overlooks the Capitol Square. Head here for a tasty happy hour with fantastic views. If you booked a room at the AC hotel, then your in luck, this is right in your hotel! Located on the top floor.
