A nice spot with good food and a friendly, hard working staff.
Downtown Madison has a lot of choices, but Argus has always been consistently good.
Keep up the great work!

We had an absolute blast throwing a private party here. Staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We contacted many establishments before throwing our murder mystery party, and Argus was by far the most approachable and reasonable. Food was great too!

Stopped in at Argus for Great Taste eve. The big beers were extremely overpriced even for what they were serving – dark lord, variants. I’m sure they are just making their margin on what three Floyd charge them but maybe it’s time to reassess. The beers seemed much more reasonably priced. What I like about Argus is it has a nice pub atmosphere and great rock music. I knew I was in a place that I would like when flight of Icarus by iron maiden was playing as I walked in boom. Did not eat.

The best bar. Food. Owner. Drink. Bartenders. Cold beer. Atmosphere in Madison. 10 stars.

Came here for my daughter’s 21st birthday, and it was an incredibly friendly environment. Bar tender and server were welcoming and super attentive. Everyone had great food and drinks everything was great! Thanks for making the night great!

Stopped in here by chance on a Friday night, they were absolutely slammed but the service was impeccable. We sat at the bar and Nico served us. Despite having a full house he took our drink and food order almost as soon as we sat down. He even made the time to check in on how our food was tasting and checking in when we needed refills. He absolutely killed it tonight. Food was absolutely delicious as well!

By far my favorite bar in Madison. The food and drinks are great and reasonably priced but the best part is the friendly and attentive staff. My friends and I always have a great time. They keep food and drinks coming quickly even when they’re busy.

Neighborhood watering hole with bar food, ample bar seating, and additional bar with seating downstairs. The happy hour menu is a good value and I’ve enjoyed their burgers in the past. Pretty standard pricing and drink selections. Their lemon bombs seem popular to the night crowd.

It’s one of my buddies’ favorite bars in Madison! Normally I would give this place a 5/5 all night long, but there were just a couple things that occurred during my latest visit that will probably make me think twice before hitting up Argus again.
This spot definitely earns its title. My brother and I stopped in for a quick brewski, and I decided to ball out a little and try their signature Friday Fish Fry. I was served by Nico, who usually sports some fresh designer glasses, and his mother. It sounds like this is a family-run establishment, which makes it sting even more having to dig it a couple of stars.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to enjoy my meal before my bro called it a night. Luckily, Nico said he’d save my spot for me so I could get him home safe and return for one last beer + finally munch on that Fish Fry.
Upon my return, I found my spot was overwhelmed with patrons (not a bad problem for a bar on a Friday night at shift change [22:00]). No big deal, I’d rather accommodate them and move to where I wouldn’t be in their way. The Mother recommended I moved to the corner of the bar to eat, which I happily obliged.
The patrons around me were incredibly friendly, but the staff less so as the night went on. As soon as I finished what I could and packed up the rest, The Mother asked what I was up to. I returned “Like here tonight, or just Life in general?”. She seemed extraordinary suspicious of me for some reason, which gave me the feeling that I was no longer welcome. I packed up my belongings and asked where Nico ran off to so I could say Goodbye before heading off to the next one.
She told me Nico was busy working the back door, implying that I should leave him be and let him focus on work. Okay, fair enough. I went back for one last word and to check out the basement, which I had never explored before then. As soon as I made my way down, I found she wasn’t far behind me. There’s a bar in the basement as well, and I noticed her talking to the bartender, looking in my direction as I explored and got a read of the place.
I don’t like to be singled out and monitored, especially when I’ve been nothing but friendly and kind to the staff. If you go to Argus, expect all eyes to be on you at all times. I have no issue with keeping a close watch on suspicious customers, but please allow the new faces who come through a chance to explore without feeling unwelcome. Ultimately, I will probably pick a new spot next time I find myself in Madison.
(Their T-Shirts are some of the coolest in Madison, so if you do enjoy your time there, please consider picking one up & supporting the Brick+Mortar).
