Madison, WI 53703

The Wisco is a beloved neighborhood dive bar in Madison, WI, established in 1989, that offers great food, cold beer, and a welcoming atmosphere. Known for its lively volleyball games and community garden, this melting pot of a bar prides itself on being a safe space for everyone to enjoy a beverage in the beer garden.

With a self-proclaimed title of having the best burger on the east side since 1998, The Wisco uses fresh ground chuck from Jenifer Street Market to create their hand-pattied burgers. Additionally, they offer live music shows, although booking is currently limited, and patrons can browse through their merchandise or check out the vibrant volleyball photos that capture the fun-filled spirit of The Wisco.
