      Wilson's Bar is a great place to watch a game! An extensive tap menu with cheap drink prices all around.There's a large hodge podge of televisions varying in different sizes. The mini screens by each table is a nice addition. There's no bad angle in this bar. The massive "beer garden" is perfect for comfortable summer nights. Two sets of pool tables and darts as well. There's not much to complain about when it comes to Wilson's.

      Saturday night is prime rib night. My order of a 12 oz prime rib was nearly inedible. It was ~75% fat. I complained but was still charged full price. Service was ok. Juke box was turned up so loud that you had to yell, which added to the noise.

      Such great food, Friday fish is amazing and prime rib on Saturday is great. The atmosphere is a sports bar but family friendly and we always have good service. We drive an hour most Fridays just for the fish, from Spring Green.

      The most amazing bartender ever, she had a full bar and it was just herself.. and the food was great too, it is on Atwood Ave so parking might be crazy but you got to come try this bar out... Deanna was the greatest bartender ever

      Great sports bar with lots of space. Bartenders have always been awesome when I've been there.

      Would recommend they start replacing some of the small outdated tv's. Larger TV's with better quality would be an absolute game changer.

      Our Brandy Old Fashioned drinks were weak, and it took an hour to get our food. Service from waitress was good, and food was good.

      I used to be regular at this bar for Sunday football and brunch. We had a bad experience 10 years ago where regulars were given peferential treatment, our friends got kicked our for calling them on it, and haven't been there since, until today. Well, it hasn't improved. We came in as a group. The bartender pointedly ignored us until we said something. A pitcher of Spotted Cow was $20, which is significantly more than all the bars in the area. When we mentioned this, we were told to go somewhere else if we don't like the prices. That's what I call "horse brutality". This is THE LAST TIME I enter this bar unless it changes ownership AND attitude. I may be picky, but I DON'T NEED THIS CRAP!

      We were driving thru Madison and stopped by Wilson's to watch the Browns game on NFL Sunday Ticket. Sports dive bar with tons of TV's. A huge perk is having individual TV's at each table, and the bartenders were able to put the Browns game on just ours which was very helpful. Pretty cheap drinks with most domestic beers and seltzers available. We got some food that was all deep fried. The mozzarella sticks were ok and hit the spot for something to munch on during a game. The inferno wings were a dry rub that had a spicy finish to it. Wings were very deep fried and offer multiple dipping sauces if you want.

      Overall a very good experience. If we are in Madison again and need a place with Sunday Ticket I would definitely return.Food was average bar food with good service, although you have to go up and order.

      Great place to watch a game. It's been pretty crowded on the weekends when I've gone. Food is good and pretty cheap for what you get. My only complaint is that they charge an extra fee to use your credit card which is just one of my pet peeves - either take cards or not, but don't make me pay your fee. You don't pay my credit card fee or my gas to get there. I'd rather you raise the prices. Unfortunately, the servers are the ones who get hit on this whether they are supposed to or not. But, soapbox....still a great place and friendly staff.

      I came here with some coworkers for Sunday breakfast after work. It's always a challenge to find breakfast places open earlier on a Sunday morning so were very grateful we could pop in. It was everything we needed at the perfect time. We arrived right as they opened, which I think was 8am? The bar was still quiet, and our server was an absolute joy. They had plenty of beer and other alcohol options, the breakfast menu was simple but also had all of the usual fixings you could want, and everything tasted amazing.
