A great bar to meet friends at, enjoy good food, or play some fun bar games and trivia. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff is helpful. It's clean, the bar is well stocked and the food is good quality bar food.

Best day ever at the Shamrock!!!! Aaron from Mankato and sweet Jake were amazing to us! Wonderful drinks..... Great friendly atmosphere... But the best part was the people who work there! We regretted having to leave to go to our prior engagement.... Will be back for more!!!!

Our gay version of Cheers. Longtime anchor in Madison. Welcoming staff. Good food, brunch on the weekend, bar food evenings, fish fry on Fridays. Comfy place. Two crowds. Early happy hour. Then around 10 pm kids arrive. Former is quieter (unless RuPaul is on), latter had a DJ and can be fairly loud. Both are fun!

The bartender was super nice and made us these delicious mimosas that he described as "Like a mimosa long island", very good and refreshing. Everyone we encountered was friendly and conversational.

Not a good first experience. That bartender with beard is not friendly. I am the one who paid and gave tip and yet he said thanks to my partner but not me. He’s snoopy. I ordered old fashioned and he asked me what kind. Oh well I just looked at him. Clearly I didn’t know so don’t assume that everyone is from Wisconsin. Instead of looking at me with a disappointed look, just explain the varieties. That’s your job. But the place is nice and the old fashioned (brandy) tasted good.

This bar sucks, this one guy that came up to me, Julio César started touching his balls WHILE SERVING A DRINK! What type of nasty person does that?! I understand that this bar is that type but this is beyond nasty, you never know if you’ll be drinking this guys STD’s, 1/10

Under new ownership, this place no longer has annual problems with its liquor license. The mixed drinks are strong, but up cocktails are pricy, and not always good. Really good bar food, though... They make their own corned beef, and do a wonderful brunch on the weekends. Flirting with the wait staff has never been more fun!

Awesome bar with awesome people and very awesome staff including the owner highly recommend this place!

The food here is wonderful for brunch and the grill is open late. They do a good bar burger. The drinks are always well-made and never light on the alcohol. I've never gone and left unsatisfied.

I've been hearing a lot of interesting things about management from community members lately that are alarming. Aside from that, this is a fun queer spot with a good variety of people coming in. Oftentimes it smells horrible, but after one of their strong drinks or two you get used to it.

Terrible costumer service the bartender Aj does not know how to respectfully communicate with people, especially people who first language is not English, are trans POC etc

Horrible treatment by one of the bartenders too a group of Latinx people not worth going believe me

A PLACE WITH VERY RUDE BARTENDERS WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ONE IN SPECIFIC IS VERY RUDE NOT COMING BACK AGAIN

Love this hole in the wall gay trans friendly bar

Smells like VOMIT… how can anyone get 6 feet in the door?!!
