Hentge's Favorite Memory

“During one of the first weeks that we were open, the sun was coming through the front windows just right, we had a baseball game up on our TVs, and nobody was buried in their phones. Everyone was boisterously laughing and communicating. It reminded me of growing up in Madison and just watching people entertain themselves by interacting with one another.”

Stepping inside feels like stepping into a bygone era with a wood-paneled wall, vintage beer signs, mounted deer heads, and a classic jukebox. Additionally, Hentges and Oppold designed the space with hand-selected and tasteful finishes to create a quaint environment. A 14-seat bar with vinyl bar stools lines the middle of the pub, while exterior booths invite guests to settle in and relax. “There’s a lot of nostalgia here, and that’s intentional, as is with everything here,” stated Hentges. The co-owner adds that the absence of bottled liquor enhances the overall vibe he and Oppold aimed for. “We just wanted a friendly neighborhood bar,” said Hentges.
