The Argus is another on the list of fine bars near Wisconsin's Capitol. As is seemingly is the norm in Madison, there is a good selection of local beer on tap. Hopalicious was my choice of beer on this visit.

The interior of Argus was mix of glass, metal and wood; modern and classic combined under the low light of the tavern. At the back is a dart board and a little room to move. The bar is fishhook shaped, but with ridged angles. There was a generally hip feel about the Argus.

The Argus featured some tasty sandwiches. I had sub with beef and gorgonzola, and some very tasty fries. It's pub food, well done.

I wouldn't call the Argus a destination type beer bar. It's another good Madison spot, just a short walk from Maduro and Local Option.
