fun place when its not overcrowded. came to the place a while back when it was still pretty new. they used to give locals a discount based on their zip of their credit card. got really really poplular so we ran for the hills. went back not so long ago and although its not what it was its pretty cool. still good tunes and a alot of people watching but when it gets crowded jam. it will not clear out so dont hold out hope that it will.…
New ownership, look, and vibe.
I've lived in the neighborhood for years and Madrone used to be a weird mix of art lounge / free wireless location with with a total mash of "interesting" art. But the place totally changed when
they got new ownership last Spring. They totally revamped the bar selection too, with dozens of new rare alcohols, and local beers on tap like Watermelon Wheat.
In the last year I've been here to see live piano players, jazz bands, hiphop & reggae dj's, and even a video-mixing mashup party. It's one of the only spots in the area where people get their dance on with a pretty mixed crowd. Def worth a look.…
What you'll get for your cover charge. Have you ever been to a poor town in Mexico and you walk by a bar and say to your friend "Hey, let's stop in. This place seems jumpin'" just to find a bored bartender and a couple of bruised up prostitutes leaning against the ear-damaging, blown out, all bass speakers? Oh and of course a group of shady coke heads piling out of the bathroom. SAVE YOUR MONEY!…
Disgusting!!!. So I went there with a friend of mine the other night and this place is disgusting. My friend kept getting touched and groped by a bunch of thugged out dudes that seemed like regulars that OWN the bar. Turns out the actual owner was there (an acquaintance pointed her out) and she was either friends with them or trying to go home with them. We paid our 16 bucks for two glasses of "infused" Seagrams vodka (how cheap is that). On top of all of that some idiot stole my jacket. I have no idea why anyone would support such an awful place when there are so many other great places in the neighborhood.…
Overpriced, underwhelmed. I'm sorry, this neighborhood needs a good local bar, and Madrone just ain't cuttin' it. Niether is Waziema or the Page. Madrone is the worst of the lot. No neighborhood vibe, overpriced and way too crowded.…
