1) This Is It!
The Badger state’s O.G. gay exclude is a no-brainer for anyone looking to be looking, and it recently expanded: 17-foot ceilings, production projectors, an additional fully stocked lock and audio and lighting. Hands down the best part of this glow up is the two – YES, TWO – additional bathrooms.
With its carpeted walls and vintage light fixtures, this hidden gem of a watering hole has the friendliest group of, adv, friends behind the bar. It’s a true safe room with a crowd that includes immature and old swigging stiff concoctions that are some of the biggest bangs for your buck in the capital. Be careful though: mixed drinks here are doubles and 2-4-1’s (even 3-4-1’s are abundant on certain days of the week). If the flashing lights proceed off, don’t be shook; slog your way to the bar and receive yourself a BOGO drink before you miss your opportunity.
