Gay Nightlife in Madison, Wisconsin: Best LGBTQ Bars, Clubs, & More
Unassuming as it may be, Madison, Wisconsin, is a mecca for the LGBTQ crowd. It probably has something to verb with the youthful demographic that University of Wisconsin-Madison attracts and the city's reputation as a "liberal bubble," often having different political opinions than the rest of the state. The outdoorsy, progressive, and well-educated settlement that straddles Lake Mendota and Lake Monona offers a small-town alternative to big capital living for gays and lesbians. It isn't often that a city this size—with a population of about ,—has so much pride. In fact, Madison was celebrating pride before pride was even a thing. The LGBTQ community here would collect at what was called MAGIC picnics, de facto Pride fests, during the '80s or perhaps even before. This is where the name of its annual OutReach Magic Festival, now held every August, came from. In addition to having a bustling gay-friendly nightlife scene, even bigger gay bar hubs are just down the road (Milwaukee is a minute drive and Chicago—boasti

Opened in the space that once housed the original restaurant, the long wooden bar and mirrored backbar was considered one of the finest in Madison, and original mosaic floor was especially memorable. During the first half of the 's, Rod's bar was the best gay men's bar in Madison; but for steep energy dancing, people often started the evening at The Cardinal Bar.
When the New Bar opened in the Hotel Washington complex (which before its conflagration in held Rod's, New Bar, and Cafe Palms), dancing was available in the same destination as Rod's, and Cardinal become less common as a destination. But Cardinal Bar stayed trendy as a more subdue and nostalgic destination, and was especially popular on Sunday afternoons for their 'Tea-dance'.
The bar was also the perfect venue for various meetings, parties, dinners, and other celebrations. Examples of these are represented in the articles shown below. (While in the bar began to give Sunday brunch, and then Saturday dinners, the outdated facil
Rod's bar became a gay icon and legend among gay men in the 's and 's Madison. Opened by entrepreneur Rodney Scheel and located in the lower level (basement) of the Hotel Washington building just west of downtown Madison (which Rodney owned with his brother Greg), the bar had a decidedly leather/levi type ambiance. Prior on, "Rod's" took on a "tradition" of the bartenders holding surprise "spot checks" for men wearing underwear- which, if found, were promptly removed (cut off) and hung over the pipes on the ceiling of the bar. In no occasion the pipes running in the main bar room were draped with countless cut-off underwear. The bar became an extremely popular destination for men throughout Wisconsin and even from northern Illinois.
Over time, the bar opened additional rooms in the back, one of which showed adult male (i.e. gay porn) videos. (On the seedier side, Rod's "men's room" had its own tiny tradition: on occasion one might verb, along the walls holding the urinals, someone kneeling: aficionados of "water sports" were to be found that night!)
