Bos Mead Hall — Restaurant in Madison

Update: went with some friends, and caught the tail end of a wedding party. Bar staff was different, and service was prompt and as snappy as can be at a busy bar. Only waited about 4 or 5 minutes, and part of that was my friends getting in the way. I looked down the list, and stopped at Hammer Smash Cherry. Just, that name. Flavor was spot on, price for the full bottle made that a pretty easy choice as well.

(Original review) The Mead was delicious, and well finished. The bar itself was made up like a Mead Hall as the name suggests. The big drawback here was service. There were only two bartenders there, and while one was busy helping a band set up on the stage, the other one leisurely conversed with a single group of of customers, ignoring the ever growing line of patrons looking for a drink.

Seating is spacious, bar offers drinks at reasonable prices, and artwork present is a delight for...

The Mead was very good, and the variety was amazing. The space seemed confused ... they have a chunk of a large building ... if you enter where google-maps says "you've arrived" then you wander thru the halls looking at weird art for sale ... once you find the meadery, it's like this odd live music hall with picnic tables (totally inside, and not the nice/open slide-in ones, but the all wood, climb over the bar kind).

Also no indication that there's no table service ... its fend for yourself at the bar, which is tiny for they space, and almost in its own corner.

BTW, they do have their own entry/exit door, but you have to know...
