Whiskey Jacks Saloon - Madison

I was there last night with my husband and a friend. We had our coats over the VIP railing (which was dead) for a couple of hours at this point. We watched one of the workers angrily pick all of our coats up and throw them into a corner. We would have complied just fine with moving our coats, but they had been there for hours and no one seemed to mind. Clearly he was having a bad night or woke up on the wrong side of the bed. When we told him it wasn’t necessary to do that so hastily , he proceeded to say “you don’t want to go to jail” and begun pushing my friend out. While walking through the bar to the exit, I stayed in the middle as the worker and now one of his buddies continued to reach over to my friend in front of me who was walking out. They wanted to continue pushing him when there was no need. I attempted to stop them from pushing my friend when they responded “you don’t want to do this.” What is up with these kids? Interestingly, we saw another group get kicked out right after us who were baffled as well. This guy walked outside, arms crossed like he was so big and bad and continued staring us down, your job was done pal. These guys need to relax. They are a walking liability to the business and need to learn some emotional Intelligence. So unprofessional and left a bad impression on this place. Disappointing

Bouncer didn’t let a homeless dude in purely because he was homeless. We asked him if there was anything we could do and he just denied it.

This was one of the rare occasions where I was not the problem. Hell, I was in the zone at the arcade basketball game. Sure I tried to ride the mechanical bull backwards and gagged up a little into a cup. However, my friend was the one who got kicked out for not being able to stand straight. We were visiting him for the weekend and bought him shot after shot after shot. It was a struggle getting him back to the apartment and into bed. By the end of the night (and into the next morning), two loads of laundry were done and the apartment reeked of vomit. I knew it wasn’t going to smell great with seven of us staying there, but the vomit exacerbated things. Still, it was a great success.

Great place for having some drinks. The bartender and other staff members so nice and responsible. They are looking professional and have great knowledge of different drinks. I ordered a cocktail and the flavours were awesome.

Favorite Madison bar and been coming here for years, but got kicked out because I called a younger girl out for being too into herself and she didn’t like it. Fun college vibe, but just wish they let me tell my side before kicking me out instead of her.
