This is both a great bar and restaurant. The food and drinks are good, but even more awesome is the atmosphere. They have a full menu until bar close too, which makes this place perfect for drinks, board games with friends, and late night eats.

This courtyard includes 3 different establishments. The first is A-OK coffee house, a bright little coffee shop that's great for coffee, breakfast and brunch and brews locally roasted KinKin Coffee. The second is Julep, a southern inspired restaurant. Finally, there is Barolo, a wine bar. The most awesome part is that they all share the beautiful courtyard, making it the perfect place for a summer morning, day, or night.

We love this park, located just a half-block away from our backyard. The beach is pretty clean and there is a play structure for kids. Great view of the lake, and perfect place to go if you'd like to watch the sunrise.

Entertainment & Activities

If you're here on a Saturday morning, we highly recommend the farmers market, located on the capitol square all morning long. Pick up some fresh produce, flowers, or grab a delicious homemade pastry or famous Stella's Spicy Cheese Bread. This is also a great place to people watch or check out some of the art stands.

The memorial terrace is a favorite Madison hangout spot. You can rent a kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard here. They also regularly have live music, open mike nights, and other such entertainment. They also have great classic Wisconsin food, ice cream, and beer. Awesome place to hang out near the lake in the afternoon or evening.
