Dexter's Pub

Dexter's Pub is a neighborhood bar on Madison's east side known for a rotating tap list of microbrews, local and imported craft beers and ciders, with 24 lines of draft. The kitchen serves slow cooked meats, fresh ground burgers, soups and salads, and the Friday fish fry is the pub's best-known meal, voted Madison's best fish fry. Menus change seasonally, and the kitchen sources from local providers such as area butchers, bakeries and farms.

The tap list is tracked on digital pour screens, and a companion app shows real-time keg levels and new tappings. Dexter's hosts tap takeovers and brewery events, and it has plenty of TVs for watching Wisconsin sports. Kitchen closes one hour before the bar most nights. Friday parties are limited to 8 guests at a table. The pub sits at North and Johnson streets, and gift cards are available.
