It's a very unique place. It's not high tempo , very low key, chill, chess & checkers vibe. I got tequila lemonade and that was good. One bartender was short with us, one was very informative and friendly. It did have live music and at a good volume.
First time at Cafe Coda, and loved it! Very welcoming. Appreciate the incredible talent and innovation of musicians tonight! Beautiful. Thank you for bringing us all together on Willy Street.
The music here is simply incredible! Excellent band! Unfortunately the acoustics were not good, and the cocktails might just have been the worst I’ve ever had in Madison. I’d come again, but I’ll stick to beer next time 🍺 Edit: I came back a year later and the cocktails were much improved 😀 and the show was really fabulous with the incredible Tani Diakite. Everyone was up and dancing and enjoying the music.
If you are looking for a great first date spot, or a chill place to work during the afternoon, this is the place! At night it becomes a really fun bar, often with live music! I went there with my partner to enjoy a fun Salsa/Soul band, and they even had free Salsa lessons beforehand. The team did an awesome job adding energy to the atmosphere, so it never felt awkward on the dance floor. The drinks were well made, and even the Old Fashioned tasted good! (I'm particularly picky about them, so this was a nice plus.) They have frequent fun events like Spoken Word nights, vinyl nights, and during the day they are a full blown café with coffee and great seating. 10/10 would bring my girlfriend here again for date night.
Really fun and cozy place to hang out. Wednesday karaoke has become a weekly event for me!
