Both Crystal Corner and Mickey’s are what I’d classify as neighborhood hangouts. They’ve got a laid back atmosphere, sometimes a diverse crowd, …

Ricky and Justin provided the best service of any bar I visited in Madison. Although I’m far from my true home they made me feel completely at home and part of the community. Unexpectedly the best experience I had in Madison. There are actual real people at the Crystal Corner unlike the rest of the city.

Best bar in Madison by far. Been coming here for 15 years. My home away from home. I keep coming back because of the bartenders and (compared to most Madison bars) fairly cheap drinks. Highly recommend coming by for Jeopardy every weekday at 4:30. It’s a really good time, and if you answer Final Jeopardy correctly, you win a prize.

We visited Crystal Corner bar for the first time this weekend. I really wanted to like the bar but the bartenders had the worst attitudes. They were unfriendly, cold, and didn’t even finish taking our order before walking away. The woman who took the first half of our order never even came back to collect our payment… our interaction with her was just a very odd exchange.
For such a cool and divey atmosphere, it would be cool to have good service too. Oh well.

Cool place. Fun atmosphere. The night we went they had awesome music. Just a pinch louder than I’d like although it went well with the crowd.

What a gem – I love a good neighborhood dive, and this fits the bill. Warm, cozy, friendly, appeared to be well supported by locals, attentive bartenders, and straightforward drinks.

I am very disappointed with the way I was treated on Halloween night. After giving the server a $20 bill for two Captain and Cokes (totaling $11), I waited for my change. When I asked where it was, I was accused of pocketing $8, even though I received nothing back. I explained that I have a criminal justice degree and have no interest in taking $8, but she dismissed me, saying, “What does that have to do with this?”
She later claimed she had given me $8, which not only didn’t happen but also didn’t make sense as the correct change would have been $9. Her attitude was insulting, and I feel humiliated being accused of something so unfounded. While I eventually got the money back, I believe an apology is owed for how poorly this was handled.
If cameras are available, I encourage you to review the footage from that night. I don’t appreciate being treated as a thief, and I doubt anyone else would either.

The only food is pizza, chips, candy bars, & popcorn (complimentary). But you can carry-in or order-in food if you like. Great bar staff. Popular place to watch the games (Packers, Brewers, Badgers).

Stopped on for drinks around 4:30 pm on a Friday.
Was starting to get busy a little after we arrived.
My wife and I were on our way to dinner at a different establishment and we decided to stop in and have an “appetizer” i.e. a pre-drink before our dinner.
This place looks cool, and there is seating for approximately 80, a large oval-shaped bar! Nostalgic photos of musicians who no doubt performed at one time or another in the last.
The bar itself is old school or “vintage” if you prefer. Has a great vibe in a nice neighborhood, and is close to the bike trail.
Not even sure if they serve food, I know they serve music
The Brandy old fashioned drinks were pricey at $8 dollars per drink…we have had many old fashioned drinks ranging from $5 to $8….from many other establishments, this place was on the higher end.
