This speakeasy in the basement of the old Italian Workers Club was such a fun spot! The wedge salad was great with the mustard seed, dill, blue cheese, and nuts. We also got their tavern style pizza with mushrooms, shallots, and basil, which was delicious. It had a little flop but was overall very good. For dessert, the tiramisu was very creamy and tasty. I prefer a heavily coffee soaked base, and while this one did have a coffee soaked bottom, it could have been soaked more. This was a fun spot, and I would definitely go back!

Sometimes when you go to a place so highly recommended, it can’t disappoint because the expectations are so high. This was not the case, it was better than expected. This is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. And I’ve had them all over the country. The ambiance was amazing. Service was also amazing. Just a unique and wonderful place to visit, and come back, and come back again.

A cozy & funky vibe in this lower level restaurant/bar. You won’t go wrong if you order one of their thin crispy crust pizzas. Very flavorful and the best one you’ll find in Central Wisconsin.

We got here early because we hear that it fills up pretty quick, and they do not take reservations.
I remembered to take pictures!
Love that you go down in order to get in.
We went there for the pizza, and it did not disappoint. Thin crust, tavern style, and outstanding. The bread/garlic bread was nothing to write home about, but I did appreciate the boat dish of olive oil and garlic, which is also pictured.
I will absolutely be back. One of my favorite places to go in Madison.

Have I had better? Yes. But you don’t go there to have the best pizza. Although all be it, pizza was good! Tavern style just means you’re getting a thin crust pizza, but again I repeat; this was GOOD! This is a cute little spot for a first date. Atmosphere is giving 1920’s Italian mob with the dark basement vibes. Hidden gem. Highly recommend visiting!

My wife and I stopped in with another couple on a Wednesday night before a Badgers basketball game. As soon as we walked in, we knew we were in for a memorable dining experience – the ambiance and the menu immediately stood out. They provided an accurate estimate for the wait, which we appreciated.
We had the Gorgonzola Romaine Wedge salad and The Alberici Pie, and both were delicious. We truly enjoyed the entire experience.
They don’t take reservations, so plan ahead. The wait is made easier by a great bar serving delicious drinks.

Greenbush Bar is amazing! The martinis are spot-on, the service is fast and friendly, and the food is incredibly fresh and delicious — especially the pizza, stromboli, and garlic bread. The atmosphere has a warm, cozy vibe that makes it perfect for date nights, casual cocktails, or hanging out with friends. One of the best spots in town. Highly recommend for cocktails and great Italian comfort food!

Very happy with my experience overall.
Crowded on a Wednesday night at 545. That’s a good sign. Drinks and starters were delicious. Pizza came out cold but our kind server remedied the issue and I’m very happy we asked them to heat it up again because it was AWESOME .
I will be back for sure.
