  1. Yeah, yeah. The burger is good and something to go see, if you're a tourist.

    But once you become familiar with the Plaza you realize what its real beauty is.

    This is hands down the best drinker's bar in town. If you haven't visited here and raged it with the regulars, you haven't truly been to Madison.

    The bartenders pour free drinks if you are extra "nice" or amuse them. Hell, they'll even take a shot with you (or 4).

    I knew an employee there who would take bets with customers over whether they could outchug him. I never saw him lose.

    The food is basic and delicious, the bar staff and waitresses have, um, personality, and the owner is ridiculous.

    Plenty of attitude and cheap booze make this one of the few places in town you can spend all night. Just don't ask for a margherita. Or piss off the bouncer. Posted by: blackdog on Jul 15, 2008 (4) (0)
