"From the vintage restored back bar to the Adirondack chairs and picnic tables on the cement patio, the Malt House has that small-town Wisconsin energy but an address right next to a growing mixed-use development on Madison’s east side. Owner Bill Rogers has been in the Madison drinks scene for decades and runs a no-frills bar with thoughtfully curated taps and blue ribbon brown liquor, whether you spell whisky with or without the “E.” Come to think of it, those are some pretty great frills." - Kyle Nabilcy
