1. Madhatter's used to be in the old University Square complex, but has been gone for years after it was torn down to start the construction of the Lucky Apartments complex, which is a huge monstrosity by comparison (pretty much when contrasted with any buildings in campus area). Madhatter's is now re-opening up today at 328 West Gorham St.
   
   Madhatter's is also the name of the University of Wisconsin men's a cappella group.

2. Madhatters is a play on the term "mad hatter" or "mad as a hatter", which were used in the hat industry to describe the effects of mercury on hat makers. Top hats were often cured with mercury. The fumes would poison the workers, causing irregular mannerisms, and sometimes even death.
   
   In Madison, Madhatters is a bar that uses a logo of a top hat with legs coming out the bottom. Madhatters is also a University of Wisconsin male a capella group.

3. A bar that was a relatively frat-supported bar in the old University Square strip mall complex. The University Square area (University Avenue and Lake Street) is now occupied by a huge residential and commercial development to be completed in 2008.

4. No longer open, Madhatters was a bar on the Madison campus that was known for long lines out the door and many underage drinkers. Madhatter's was located in the now defunct University Square Mall. The Mall was demolished in 2007 to make way for the new Lucky Apartments, university offices and new retail establishments.
