The Nitty Gritty

The one and only birthday bar! We want to know why people in other cities even bother celebrating their 21st birthday, because without a Nitty Gritty Birthday Bar what fun is it? Now there are many, many reasons why the Nitty Gritty is one of Madison’s favorite bars, but were going to go out on a limb and say that what makes this place so popular is the free beer you get on your birthday! As if this place didn’t already give you enough, they also happen to make some of the best food you can find in the Madison area, were not kidding.Though the Nitty Gritty is famous for its multiple award winning Gritty burger, smothered in the famous gritty sauce, pretty much everything they offer on the menu is out of this world. From soups to sandwiches, salads to sides, every Nitty Gritty menu item can compete with the best of them. Now with two locations (the original in the heart of downtown Madison, and the other in Middleton) the Nitty Gritty can extend its Birthday love to even more people looking for good times, great drinks, and amazing food.
