The Great Dane

My friend, Greg, from "home" has been visiting here in Madison for the past few days.  We've been out and about, hitting a number of different spots for food and drinks.

On Friday, one of the places we went was The Great Dane, which is a restaurant and microbrewery.  Here is a picture of the bar area.

Their menu is like a newspaper. 

I'm not a big fan of microbrews, but I like the atmosphere in The Great Dane and I think the food there is pretty good. It's nothing fancy; just pub food. But I happen to like pub food.

Anyone who comes from out of state to visit has to have cheese curds at some point while they are here.  Cheese curds are a Wisconsin tradition.  It's a tradition usually met with trepidation.  The name doesn't really make one go, "Oh yum!  Curds-- that sounds delicious!"  In spite of the name, cheese curds are tasty.  I have had them at a number of restaurants around Madison, but I think The Great Dane's are some of the best.  As a matter of fact, we had one order that we polished off so we ordered another.  Hey, no one will accuse us of making healthy choices.

The following poster was on the wall behind the table where we were sitting.
 

 
Unfortunately the caption for Great Dane Beer Soaps didn't show very well.  It reads: 
 
Get
CLEAN
but not necessarily
SOBER
 
Right on.  No one will accuse us of making healthy choices or being sober.
