Dilapidated wooden shingles hanging over the bar lend The Paradise Lounge the air of a working man's Paradise. A treehouse of love where young and old come together to grab beers in mason jars and rock out to punk rock on the jukebox. A bartender compared it to the Creature Cantina\ from ""Star Wars"" where anyone–from state senators to hipsters–can have a good time.
The ""Dise"" isn't a huge bar, but its coziness works to its advantage–the bar's many regulars get up close and personal while enjoying super-popular Tuesday $1.50 rail mixers. Twelve beers on tap and some of the best cheese curds in town–served late–also keep the Paradise on the short list of many of Madison's bar hoppers.
