Madison, WI 53703
Located at lake level in the historic Langdon Building, The Boathouse is part of a long Wisconsin tradition of casual waterfront spots where people meet from land and lake to enjoy great company with burgers, brats, classic fish fry, and the best selection of cold craft beers. The two-floor restaurant and bar also celebrates life on the water with outdoor eating and drinking on The Boathouse Deck right at Lake Mendota's shore. Those arriving by boat can tie up on the pier directly in front of The Boathouse.
