Pitcher's Pub, Madison

the food was good, the happy hour prices were good and the staff was friendly. will definitely return.

great steak sandwich!

Weird location, off frontage road in an industrial area, set even further back and down a fairly steep paved decline. Their sign was really washed away too which made it seemed more sketch. , I was a little iffy before I even got there. Inside, I felt like a mole under fluorescent lighting. All in all, pretty mediocre food. I had high hopes on eating some previously undiscovered awesome bar burger. The burgers were really disappointing - dry, thin. The guy that took our orders was really friendly and helpful, however. He gave me a sample of their signature cocktail, "Swamp Water," which consists primarily of liquor, liquor, and more liquor (I was told one cocktail = 5 shots). It tastes as bad as the hangover you know you'll get if you were to drink one of those. Honestly, I felt sorry for the bartender, wondering how much natural light he deprives himself of because he works at Pitcher's Pub. I started imagining all the people at the bar as long time residents of this gigantically huge soul-less bar. We had fun playing darts, and all in all, it made us all eat dinner together at a table as a family and talk which was worth more than the promised Groupon value.

Very good food, bartender friendly, great service.
