venue Lucky's Bar & Grille

Lucky’s is one of the major hangouts for beer before, during, and after Badger football games. It’s no wonder, as it emphasizes game-day favorites like cheese curds, chili-cheese fries, and Buffalo wings. They’re a perfect, salty match with the bar’s 20 tap and 36 bottled beers, including domestics, imports, and microbrews. Bigger appetites will find satisfaction in the lengthy burger menu, including a Mexicali burger mixed with green chilies and topped with nacho cheese and grilled onions, and the Maui Waui burger with pineapple, American cheese, teriyaki sauce, and ham. There’s also an equally lengthy sandwich menu and build-your-own pizza, all of which are well-suited to soaking up a full day’s worth of beer.
