Why Fans Keep This Place in the Mix

A Capitol Square institution celebrating Wisconsin's supper club tradition with legendary cheese curds, Friday fish fry, and an all-Wisconsin beer list. Before and after Badgers games at Camp Randall, the bar is packed with fans in red — and the brandy old fashioned is mandatory.
