Travel Board - Seeking Recommendations for Madison, WI

That link should help. In general, though, downtown Madison and campus are pretty intertwined. Everything is walking distance and State Street is what separates Capitol Square (and those bars, which are more young professionals) from campus (college bars, obviously). On gameday, add in Regent Street - a lot of bars have outdoor beer gardens, and that is where you'll want to be before the game. After the game is when you'll want to head back to bars on/around State Street and Capitol Square.

A Kwik Trip at some point during your trip and get some glazers and a Cafe Karuba.

catch the UW game.


Wonder how the crowd will be... Student section is notoriously late, both because of partying and the process for getting them into the stands is embarrassingly bad. Anyway, crowd for first two games was top-notch. How Wisconsin dominated team stats and lost against Wazzu, though, was quite the gut punch. Wouldn't shock me if it took some time for the student section to fill this weekend.

In any case, enjoy the game! Camp Randall has a pretty unique setting as it stands in the middle of a neighborhood.

Make sure to grab a pitcher of Spotted Cow at the Terrace (Memorial Union along Lake Mendota, not Monona Terrace).

I have nothing to add other than I was in Madison last weekend and it's an absolutely awesome city. I'd hate to be there in another month or so, but can't beat it in September.

We stayed where a lot of WSU fans were staying downtown. They were having a blast. Not so much the Wiscy travelers. 2 cases of Spotted Cow in the car home with me!

Madison is a great trip for a game.

The state stret area is definitely full of bars. Wandos is usually a giant party from the last few times.

Some stuff downtown I enjoyed was Great Dane brewpub.
