Unique brewery and distillery. It's self serve in the main area. You start a tab and are given a card to activate the... taps. You pay by the ounce, not by glass. They have local brews as well as guest taps. They have beer, wine, seltzer and mixed drinks. They also sell carry out moonshine. Unfortunately, they have an extremely limited food menu. They only had a pulled pork sandwich, and they were out by late afternoon when I got there.read more

Had the pulled pork sandwiches on the patio with a few beers. Zach helped me pick out just the right beer. Did I... mention the moonshine? Oh yeah. You need to try this. The only thing missing was more food choices on the menu.read more

Lance and I visited for our anniversary. We had lots of the delicious craft beer and enjoyed a romantic carriage ride... through historic downtown Madison. The cozy atmosphere made us feel warm and welcome. We can’t wait to return again next year as we will be celebrating 3 year’s together. A lust that began at the beach has bloomed into the love that we share now.read more

Came here from out of town as I heard great things about their pizza & beer.I'll say the beer was fantastic but they... didn't have any pizza. They only had a generic BBQ sandwich which wasn't terrible but wasn't great either & I was still hungry after.Maybe I just had too high of expectations since I had heard the food was so good?Either way, with the beer being as good as it is, hopefully they can get some better food to go along with it.read more

So much fun. Great place. They make it clear the establishment isn't built for kids but we still brought our 3 and 6... year old and sat outside no problem. Just kept them entertained so they weren't running around. The outside seating area is really nice, the inside is huge and unique. Was very sad to hear the uncommon pizza is going away as it was quite delicious.read more

I sang with Joe Perkinson Friday at the Mad Paddle and had a blast! I loved the place, the beer was awesome, and thanks... to all you that came out to hear us! Jerry Wade is a awesome guy, and is doing a great job promoting the awesome musicians we have in Madison, and elsewhere! If you want to have a great time, go to the Mad Paddle! Their house band is made up of some of Madisons finest musicians! I've played music with a few of them, and they are great people! I definitely give the Mad Paddle 5 stars! Frank Pearsonread more

Historic building and cool venue for craft brewing. Ales, IPAs and fruited beers. We had a cream ale, blueberry ale,... stout, APA and IPA. Nothing too complex but they do these beers real well, crisp and clean with great flavor. Good pizza menu as well. Live music on certain nights. Close to the riverfront in beautiful downtown Madison.read more

We love the Mad Paddle experience - great beer, great atmosphere, consistently great live music, and adult friendly. ... The service is great when you order a beer, clearing glasses and tables, and/or delivering a craft pizza to your table from the on-site Uncommon Pizza venue. Very friendly and attentive staff.My wife and I are from Cincinnati and regularly visit Madison. The Mad Paddle brewery competes in all aspects with the best breweries in Cincinnati and beyond. We visit Mad Paddle each time we visit.You must experience the Mad Paddle when visiting Madison. A great asset to the town and community and a true gem.Keep up the great guest experiences Mad Paddle.read more

Mad paddle has quickly become the ultimate place to be in Madison. We’ve been a handful of times to enjoy some of the... delicious beer and enjoy live music. Last night my wife and friends surprised me with a little birthday party and rented out the back room for us. I HIGHLY recommend looking in to checking this out for your party’s or get togethers. The back room area is huge, plenty of tables, a couple of couches and a tv, bathrooms right there. I wish I’d taken pictures but we were so caught up in just having a great time. The staff is incredible. They popped in from time to time and made sure we had everything we needed. We probably wound up ordering 4 different pizzas through the night and they were all among some of the best pizzas any of us have ever had. The beer was plentiful and they staff made sure we weren’t thirsty at any point. This was the most fun I’ve had in a VERY long time. Mad paddle is such an incredible addition to Madison and I’m looking forward to spending many more amazing nights here!read more

We stopped by for a beer after hiking at Clifty Falls. Loved the outdoor patio and music. The only disappointment was... the beer I had on our previous trip was a guest tap. I tried something else this time and it didn't live up to the previous beer. That's not Mad Paddle's fault.read more

Loved the Blood orange Blonde and they had some guest tap that was Vanilla bourbon barrel aged cream ale?? Both were... life changing. The patio is great, perfect place to bring your takeout. We really enjoyed this place. Service was a bit slow, but these beers were worth waiting for. Wish we could have gotten a growler of the blood orange but they ran outread more

Stood in line for several minutes, and watched two other people get waited on before us. One couple actually came in... after us and got waited on before us. Another was sitting at bar already drinking and was waited on before us. We were there waiting for a drink way before these two parties. Poor directional and flow of order point. You don't know where to go to order. BUT, server should have known we were there first. Guy with couple even stood wayback, and let him get waited on before us. Very disappointed. Took our business elsewhere.read more

Always a good time at the Mad Paddle in Madison, IN!read more

I thought Indianapolis was the land of craft beer but I was wrong. After a random trip to Madison for the weekend, we... decided to check out some local places. My host for the weekend suggested here and I’m glad she did!Located in historic Madison on a corner you’ll find mad paddle brewery, they had a food truck on the outside which I always love then brewery’s have that as an option.The inside is simply decorated and clean, you can sit at the bar or different tables as options.The bar tenders are very friendly! I enjoyed the conversations I had with each and the recommendations that they gave.I tried all the in house beers and each were delicious! I love that they had what I consider short pours so you can enjoy all of the flavor but not get tanked.Mad paddle also has a ton of games! I actually learned how to play dominos.Make sure to check out the hard copy of the menu, it offers a loving tribute to Indiana alcohol lawsread more

Planned a special Birthday get away for my husbands birthday. He loves breweries and I wanted a new place for him to... try. The reviews are promising and the atmosphere is great. However, our 1 year old daughter accompanied us. Apparently this is where we went wrong. We are from out of state and have made a hobby of visiting dozens of breweries and having a baby has never been a problem prior. I stepped away to the bathroom, thankfully, and my husband went to the bar to order his IPA. They poured his drink and immediately a female bartender told him he couldn’t be in here with our daughter. Not an apologetic, friendly, sorry no babies or no children just a flat out you can’t be in here. If I had been at the bar with him I would have slid the beer right back and left then, he knew better than to tell me of the incident. The other bartenders laughed it off and said, “No man, you’re fine.” So he didn’t think much of it but he noticed the other bartender immediately dash off to the back. About 10 minutes later we were approached by her and told he could finish his beer but then we needed to leave. Now, if this is the law in Indiana, I understand, or if there is another beer license they need to apply for then whatever, but to me in the world of small business, how you treat the customer says everything. We immediately left the brewery, sadly the only one in the area and headed back to KY. Unfortunately, this one incident ruined it for us. I thought I had planned a nice afternoon for my husband but this one individual ruined it for him. His English IPA wasn’t great but he did get to try another Mad Paddle IPA in town at another business with a much friendlier bartender and did enjoy. However, we won’t be making the trip back.read more
