Focaccia pizza – fire. Apple pie shots for dessert (and complimentary) – lovely. Wonderful little dive bar right off the square. Say less – get in here next time you’re around. You won’t regret it!

If you’re looking for Queer Entertainment in Madison, this is your spot! There’s no better hangover cure than a drag show, and the Saturday brunches at The Rigby are some of the best local shows in the state. So much energy from each and every performer, the host keeps the crowd engaged, and the food is fantastic too! Cannot overstate what a gem The Rigby is to the community!

Went to see James the Magician. We had a rueben and fries before the show. The food was very good. The staff was very friendly. The magic show was in the event space upstairs. The show was very good. I would definitely return to this establishment.

I’ve always enjoyed stopping in when I was on tour or seeing a show in Madison. Friday was a chance to bring a new friend I made since I moved here permanently. I picked her up from work and I had her at “best Apple pie shots ever”
She’s a huge music/Brit Invasion fan (as am I) so she was pumped when I told her about the place. We’re all planning to get a little group of us together and go to the Riot Grrl burlesque show coming up.
Definitely one of my favorite places in Madison.

We came for a girls weekend. Saw they had the Iowa game on so we stopped in and Terry the bartender was more than welcoming to us. We had a great time!!!

Cozy little bar with great vibes! They were open on Thanksgiving and had a delicious meal to offer too! Definitely make this a rotation in your Madison bar crawl-it’s wholesome environment for all and open late!

I organized a four-day event that ended with a Good-bye brunch at the Rigby. The staff was so helpful and friendly getting everything arranged with us before the brunch! The food was fantastic and exceeded my expectations! I would definitely book the Rigby’s private accessable event space again! Great job Rigby Staff!
