    Very impressive stop on a night out with friends.  Excellent selection of alcohol behind the bar and a reasonable tap beer selection.  The drinks aren’t cheap, but the modern, chic atmosphere is worth the stop to experience.  The service was slow, but likely due to how busy they were at the time.

    My wife found this place while we were in Madison for a wedding and boy are we glad that we went!  In addition to the good beer selection, the food was fantastic and the service was good, albeit slow due to how busy it was.

    My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Burrito (see picture) and I ordered the Rip Rip Cheesy Mac (see pictures).  Both were delicious – juicy, rich and flavorful.  I really liked the Rip Rip Chicken on top of the macaroni and cheese, so if I went back I would probably try that by itself.

    This place is definitely worth a stop when you are downtown in Madison.

    We stopped in LeMars for the Blue Bunny ice cream visitor center, then learned of Wise I as the location for Theology on Tap during Mass.  We couldn’t leave town without sampling another of my favorite things on my Birthday…

    There was nothing spectacular about the exterior, but the selection of beer was great as was the service.

    If you are in town for the ice cream, be sure to stop for some great beer also!
