From its eclectic look to great prices and very cool, pleasant customers and bartenders this old tavern is the place to be. Check out the jukebox! We didn't have food but the menu is bar food and I heard it's good. It's the 2nd oldest longstanding bar in Madison. A day of Arboretum and hotel stay in the city and dinner out made us happy and the short hike from Pewaukee was a mini vacation getaway. Don't miss it- they have weekend bands too!

When I found out that we were going to have brunch and a bar (you know, take the preggo to another bar) I guess that's only in Madison ha ha, I was a little disappointed. It's no fun to be around other people drinking when you can't. However, Mickey's definitely exceeded expectations. The food was really good. I had the scramble of the day which was bacon, chèvre, tomatoes, and sunflower sprouts. My son had a half order of biscuits and gravy. My scramble was so good-I ate every single bite. My son ate about half of his biscuits and gravy, so we took the rest home and shared it for breakfast the next day. I love that they do half portions of some items and that they have a bottomless coffee and tea bar. Our waitress was really friendly and it was a fun environment. I would definitely like to come back sometime when I am able to have a breakfast cocktail too!

Fun spot to stop for live music, drinks, and food. Have visited a lot but never actually tried the food. Their Mac and cheese is probably in my top 5! Also loved the fries. Bartenders and staff are what makes Mickey's to great. They are wonderful and so friendly. Sitting on the patio is great in the summer, inside is a chill vibe too. Drinks are always great and strong. Not pictured is the Bloody Mary which is also one of my favorites in Madison. Comes with good amount of pickled veggies. Overall, I think everything is super reasonably priced for the great food it is.

Best brunch & staff. Patio vibes immaculate. For the love of god, stock a bottle of cherry doctor for cherry bombs though :)

Sweet spot to stop in for a quick bite. Old Madison meets New Madison. You can count on anything and everything on being delicious! Fabulous Reuben, sexy fries and slaw. They should have won the WORT chili cook off 2024 #rigged! Great bubbly staff!

I'm a fan of Mickey's Tavern, but it's mostly for the vibe. The location is great, especially if you're near willy street and looking for a casual place to eat and drink, or even just start/end your night. I will say though, outside of the vibe the food is just fine and same with the drinks. Nothing super wowed me, but the entire experience was still a 4 just for the entire once more, vibe that I experienced. Casual, inviting, and overall just a good place to catch up with friends.

My husband and I visited Mickey's Tavern for the first time yesterday and were pleasantly surprised with it! As we walked up to the door, there was a sign that said ''when you're here, you're not at Olive Garden''. We got a good laugh out of it and could tell this would be our type of place. I've heard good things about Mickey's Tavern from my aunt, but always assumed it was a dive bar. That was definitely not the case! The ambiance is really nice. It's dimly lit with neon lights, feminist signs (yes!!!), a cozy bar, a pool table in the back area. We love a good bar and this one was so cute and fun! I ordered a classic Wisconsin Old Fashioned to drink and we ordered ''Sexy Fries''. The fries were thin cut potato slices with truffle oil, Parmesan, crushed red pepper, and salt. They were so flavorful and crispy! We loved them and would definitely order them again. We can't wait to come back and try more things!

I loved the atmosphere when I got into the bar, it was pretty busy but it was the regulars that ate there for happy hour. I just loved the feel of the atmosphere here.

Was pretty excited to try the brunch, had heard it was spectacular! We sat down at 11:20, and ordered at 11:30. Our food came out at 1:15. It wasn't our waiters fault, and I'm sure they were short staffed or something, but we were starving. The food was pretty good, a standard Belgian waffle with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. Friend said the biscuits and gravy were delicious. The food was decent. Outside there were a million flies, gnats, and other bugs, and normally I don't really notice them in outdoor restaurants, but every minute I had to swat a few off my leg and hand, which definitely also was not fun, but also not their fault. Would definitely go back, and the staff was super friendly, but there was a long wait and I would probably sit inside next time if possible.
