Best Cocktails in Madison

State Line Distillery

My favorite is the Smoke Show (right)! Other recommendations are southside (left), or anything with the coffee liquer. They have drag bingo on the first Wednesday of the month which is a BLAST! Dogs are allowed and there is a patio and games. The bartenders are the BEST!

Eno Vino-Downtown

I love the “beauty and the peach.” Don’t forget to also get the truffled fries with the dipping sauces!

Gibs

This one is not a favorite of mine, but my friends enjoy it so its high on the list. I do like the vibe and the bartenders are great at what they do. The 77 Kelvin is a favorite of my friends, I like the “hey whats up? hello”

Bar Taco

Iv’e talked about this place in the best tacos post, but I love their drinks. The reviver, Paloma, margs are all amazing

Lucille

Cocktails can be hit or miss since they change them seasonally, but food is good. Often time service takes a while, so be prepared. The bank vault downstairs is super fun!

Garver Feed Mill Lounge

I have only been here once for a work event, but i very much enjoyed the drinks I had!

Plain Spoke

Good place to stop on the square! Young Blood Beer Co right beneath it is a great spot for beer.

Robin Room

On East Johnson, it has a great vibe and great drinks. Love to stop here after a Forward Madison game or after a day at James Madison Park.

Oz by Oz

I personally think the only good drink here is the espresso martini (left), and since I can’t have coffee its not one of my go to spots. When I do come I get the old fashioned (right) and its decent.

Doundrins Distilling

Great to sit outside on a nice day and they allow dogs! Bring your own chair. Drinks are average.

Imaginary Factory

The vibes were weird and the drinks were only ok.
