I cannot even tell you how much we love this place! Their tacos are amazing! They are small unique combination tacos on corn tortillas. The unique flavor combinations in these tacos are delicious and memorable. And their Sunday hot dog brunch is just so much fun. Hot dog brunch and mimosas, what better way to spend a Sunday morning? The place has such a relaxed welcoming atmosphere and the staff is always so nice and friendly. It is just an absolutely perfect little local bar.

Excellent tacos and a good tap beer selection. Patio and curbside seating available. On a Sunday night the menu was a little more sparse after a busy weekend.

The Ohio Tavern in Madison, WI. Their tacos, street corn and oysters were delicious! My favorite street corn is the Kona: crema, pineapple salsa, bacon and cilantro! Soooo good and unique. Oysters tasted fresh and I love the sauce that comes with it. And the tacos were all full of flavor.

You’ll be sorry if you miss out on hotdog brunch on Sundays. Sooooo good! I will definitely be back to try all the other flavor combinations and the tacos – which I’ve heard (and seen on Instagram) are equally amazing. Definitely recommend this spot! Cute little patio. Cash only.

Go for the tacos, stay for the music and entertainment!
Ok having said that, don’t go super hungry, the wait for tacos is a eternity divided by 4… you will be easily 2 drinks down and loopy before the tacos show up. This data point is based on more than a dozen visits and others report the same when I ask about the experience. In any case, go well prepared and this should not be an issue. Once they arrive, the tacos are pretty amazing – i rate them among the top3 best tacos in town (and there are a loooot of taco shops in town). Live music scene is great; this is a small cozy authentic venue, so on a busy night finding a seat might be a challange. Parking; limited street parking nearby. Back to music – check out the karaoke nights; whether you are singing or watching it go down… its a heck of a good time!
Covid19 Update: still great pick-up tacos! good window setup with minimal touch points. Well done.

Ohio Tavern might be one of the best kept secrets in Madison, but those who know will tell you it is fantastic. They have a huge array of beers and cocktails (like you’d expect any good bar to have). Where they stand out from the throng is their selection of tacos. They’re not exactly cheap ($5 per taco or 3 for $13), but they are heaping tacos that you can easily make a meal of. They offer a wide set of choices that includes carnitas, chicken, beef, (shrimp and battered fish on Fridays), and a vegan lentil taco (called the Lenny). Parking is a bit tricky to find, but it’s right off the Atwood bike path, so ride over and stay a while.

One of the few good places left in town! Hits the spot every time!

A classic Madison watering hole with yummy tacos! Some of the standards but I always prefer their more interesting concoctions, like a recent curry chicken taco w/amazing mango chutney!
It’s on a side street, so the sidewalk patio is relatively quiet & gets nice shade in the afternoon.
I don’t actually drink booze, so cannot comment on that aspect.

Fun suprise. The Diablo corn was fantastic. Also grabbed an order of the brisket nachos. Also really good. Was not able to finish the nachos. All while having a frosty beverage from the tap. Going to stop again really soon. Sat out on the sidewalk at a table. Side Street was not overly busy and was shaded.
