Menu

The restaurant from Madison offers 13 different menus and drinks on the menu for an average price of $5.1.

Church Key Bar presents a lively atmosphere perfect for gathering with friends, especially after a Badgers win. Booths and bars fill the space, which can get cramped, particularly when the crowd swells. While the $1 corn dog and drink deals on Tuesdays are a hit, service issues mar the experience. Customers have reported long waits and perceived favoritism from bartenders. However, commendations pour in for the delicious dishes and impressive drink specialties. With a blend of diving bar charm and club energy, Church Key remains a popular choice, albeit with a few service improvements needed for an optimal visit.

Was Brock Blue at Churchkey Bar and Grill a mag?
Pretty fun place to crack a few cold boys after a badgers win. Food was a little bland, but better to have something in your stomach before a long night of boozing. Definitely will stop again. View all feedback.

What Briana Mueller dislikes about Churchkey Bar and Grill:
Corn dog deals on Tuesdays are killer $1 PBRs with a side of free corn dogs). Space is very narrow and sort of hard to navigate, staff make drinks sort of recklessly when it's busy, a double might be a little weak. Really nice atmosphere, great spot for getting drunk w/ friends View all feedback.

Two weeks ago I was here and had the worst food I've ever had at a bar.

A five dollar cover at the door? I sure hope this church loses its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Three stars.

Staff is awesome, good food, drinks and music is usually decent. Gets busy but not too stupid. One of our favorite spots to chill after work.

Fantastic service with great drink specials. It generally has a very laid back atmosphere, perfect for hanging out with friends. Church Key Bar is, in my opinion, the best bar in Madison!
