Lovely time every visit! When we’re looking for live music events crystal corner is always checked first! Great shows offered + great beer prices = fun fun!
A Madison institution - a cornerstone. The charm of this place is that it’s been here and as is for the longest time. Beats to its own rhythm, has its own regulars, hosts good live bands like VO5. Cash only but they have a cash machine inside. If you are not into legends, local flavor, and dives this may not be for you - but for the rest of us it’s a gold mine! Service is solid and fairly prompt for how packed it gets in there. If you want to snag a seat, get there a bit early otherwise it is standing room only. A Wisco cultural heritage spot - go and enjoy!
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.
