I absolutely liked their dishes and customer service, excellent location next to my residence. The workers are always very friendly. Will visit here again.

I've been enjoying the beer here since the doors opened in 1994. I've always been able to find a beer that well-suited my thirst the day I went for it, and my standard is their Scotch Ale. A friend of mine stopped by my place, and after sitting around chewing the fat for a while, suggested we have dinner together. Various options were discussed when I thought of The Great Dane, which I hadn't been to recently, as I'd been living quite far away from it. We agreed to drive up and either have a beer while waiting for a take-out order, or eat at the Pub is the noise level and table room suited us. It did, and we ordered and ate and drank at the main bar. My friend had a glass of German Pilsner and enjoyed it. I had my usual Scotch Ale, and found that the recipe had clearly changed since I'd last had it, but was still a knockout. My friend's New London Bridge Fish Fry was fine, and my Porchetta was pretty darned good.

My server, Maggie, was wonderful, attentive but not intrusive.The garden patio lounge is pleasant & non-smoking. Music wasn't so loud that we had to "yell" to conversate.I enjoyed watching the wind move across the wall of ivy.The sweet potato fries & fried plantains were very tasty. There's a beer for every palate.I highly recommend this place to celebrate any occasion.

Great food and excellent staff. Love coming g here to watch any sports games or just play a game of pool. The downstairs is a nice hidden area to go to if the upstairs is busy.

The service was excellent. We were seated right away and the food came quite fast. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere very nice. It waspeaceful enough that you could actually talk! And this was during their busy time! 😀

Old Glory is one of, if not *the* best beers in the state. The other beers are very good as well. The food here is always excellent, and the service great. I've been going to The Great Dane (this one, not the others) at least once a year since 1994 and have only been disappointed once, three years ago: I gave my phone number to be called when a table was available. I was never called, despite reminding them that I had been waiting, three times. Mind you, this was only a problem for my wife, as I didn't mind waiting at the bar for a few hours! When we finally were seated, we were given an apology and a steep discount.

Our waiter ignored us. She didn't listen to us when we were asking questions about the items on the menu. She told us she would be right back and took 2 tables orders who came in after us.

Seriously. Go here. Great beer. 5 star food at 2 star prices. Super friendly staff. I cannot say enough great things for this place. If you go to Madison and don't visit you will be sorry. Glad I came here on my first visit. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Madison whether for work or pleasure.

The menu is diverse enough to find something for everyone. The seasonal featured drinks are always delicious too. The staff are well trained and it helps make every visit to The Great Dane a great one!

Ready good beer and atmosphere but not so good food. This was a great place to watch a football game. There were big TVs everywhere and they were nice about changing the channel for our game. We got Jamaican wings and poutine. They both tasted kind of bad. The prices were fair and the location is really good.
