I really enjoyed this place. The whole place is a mix of 1950s space lounge with leather high chairs, chrome dining tables, nice retro adverts. The menu looks very nice with upscale comfort foods, decently priced. The beers are solid, 14 taps, 8 guest taps and 10-15 bottles, very friendly service, good music. A must in Madison. 1.50$ to 2$ per sampler.

Terrific brewpub! 13 house taps, 7 guest taps, 2 beer engines, and 10+ bottles. Growlers and flights available. The bartender was great - he let me try all 13 house beers in half-sample sizes (so I could get through more!) and downsized my bill accordingly - much appreciated! Nice classy vibe in suburbia, wood bar, aquarium in the middle of the bar, high def TVs, and blues & croner music! Love this place.

Reincarnated from JT Whitney’s only because they occupied the same building. I can’t rave enough about this place. The food has been incredible all three times I’ve eaten here and the service was right in line. Probably 15 house beers on tap at any one time and they rotate often, so there’s always something new and interesting to try. The beers is pretty damn good too. The interior is vintage as well, with old school brewerania and chairs right out of happy days. The only drawback I can see is that it’s not closer to my home. I’ll be back often as this is easily my favorite brewpub in the state!

Located in a strip mall parking lot. Big central bar with seating all around, fairly clean and well kept. We had great service, very friendly and pretty knowledgeable about the beer. Selection was very good, more than a dozen beers and a nice variety. Food was great typical pub food. Value was very good especially on the beer sampler. Overall a nice place with lots of beer and decent food. Worth a stop.

Judge the first round of the NHC here and gotta say, pretty neat place. Pretty chill vibe with a nice big bar to belly up to. Food is solid and the beer selection is pretty broad. A little bit of everything and pretty well brewed. I’ll be back.

Visited a little while back. Had an interesting sports bar/brew pub feel to it with a large fish tank in the middle of a large bar with multiple flat screens. I had a bowl of the chili which I enjoyed. Had 20ish taps with 15 of their own available. Samplers were decently priced. Beer was solid but not remarkable. Service was similar.

Nice, hip looking place, perhaps a bit dim, but very nice.

Our waiter was very kind, knew the beers, what was available, and also knew the menu.

The selection is good. They have a lot of their beers on tap, 2 casks, and a long list of guest drafts as well. It doesn’t get much better than that. Try the Better Off Red if you have to make a choice. It’s awesome.

I had a special burger of some sort and it was tasty!

The food is a tidbit pricey for me, but the portions are large and the food is definitely tasty.

Overall, this is definitely somewhere I will be heading back to when I visit family in the Madison area!

Everything about this place is a step up from JT Whitney’s (the former tenant). Unfortunately that includes the prices too but if you want great food, beer, and atmosphere it is worth a few more dollars. I wish this had been here a few years ago.

The first thing I noticed was the extensive list of local taps. Ten beers brewed on premises are available ranging from a pale ale to a heavy Belgian (10%). If that is not enough a couple more taps give you the option of sampling other local breweries like Ale Asylum or Rush River. This is a place that caters to everyone. Don’t come in expecting just your basic line up of standard beers.

The beers lived up to all my expectations and then some. If this level of quality can be maintained Vintage could give Ale Asylum and Great Dane a run for their money. The food is top notch, our waitress was very helpful, and a five ounce sample was only $1.50. Once you get a sense of which beers you like the full pints are fairly priced as well. I have no idea if there are any happy hour specials though it would not surprise me. If you are traveling through Madison make this a "must stop" destination on the way to or from Steve’s Wine.

The place was about to be celebrating the holidays with an employee party when I stopped in, so the kitchen was closed. The beer flowed, however. The bartender was personable and nice. Gave me a couple samples to help out making a choice. She was a great and attentive bartender. The beer was pretty decent, but the sinage made it hard to see when all I knew that it was an approximate location. I would go back during normal operations and see how it fares.

Food is excellent. Beers are way above average, some borderline excellent. Service was good. Good beer experience.
