For over 70 years the Echo Tap has refreshed travelers and locals alike with cool drinks and good food. At a place of convergence of upscale condominiums, student apartments, downtown offices, and bus travelers, the tavern caters to no single group, but instead provides a friendly gathering place for all who live in the neighborhood or have cause to visit.

The Echo Tap is located downtown Madison at the corner of Bedford and Main Street just 5 blocks southwest of the State Capitol,and an easy walk from the Kohl Center.

The interior is paneled with more than a mile of box car timber, a reminder of the neighborhood's ties to the west rail corridore.

Known for the best soups in Madison, the Echo serves a tempting menu that features a daily food special,including the reliable Friday fish fry.

The Echo has one of the largest selections of tap beers in the city (19) and of course a full spirits bar to fix your favorite cocktail. For sports fans, the Echo has 11 TVs including a big screen HD plasma, so you will see every minute of the game.
