Why Come to Bierock?

We could find hundreds of reasons to come to Bierock. Here’s a few…

(Please note that some of these have been impacted by COVID-19 and a return to normal operations is anticipated.)

  • Come enjoy a Volga-German family recipe that goes back generations. You’re not going to find bierocks anywhere else in Madison, perhaps even Wisconsin. Freshly baked savory meat pies each served with a unique house-made dipping sauce.
  • Appreciate food that is made from scratch. Fresh meat and produce are used by our cooks to prepare a meal that is both healthy and tasty. Nothing is deep fried and yet, the food is still delicious.
  • Want something vegetarian? How about something gluten-sensitive? We’ve got your dietary wants and needs covered.
  • Our vegetarian options include our Tofu & Kimchi bierock, mushroom stroganoff, potato wedges, pretzels, popcorn & kettle chips and dip.
  • Our red cabbage and apple slaw is totally vegan as well as our sauteed Tofu & Kimchi. So are our kettle chips minus the dip and popcorn minus the butter.
  • All of our bierocks are available in an optional gluten-sensitive version pastry dough.
  • We partner with local vendors to source our ingredients. They include Indian Farm Mushrooms and Hops, Rural Route 1 Popcorn, Jenifer Street Market, Penzeys Spices, Carr Valley Cheese, Beef Butter BBQ, Fizzeology and RE Golden for fresh produce.
  • We have 24 constantly rotating lines of craft beer. Find what’s on tap here.
  • There’s something for everyone. Whether you like light beer, dark beer, hoppy beer, malty beer, sour beer, barrel-aged beer or something in between, you’ll sure to find something you like.
  • We fill growlers! And howlers!
  • Not in the mood for beer? There’s a full selection of liquor and wine as well, including a cocktail menu and gluten-free options like cider.
  • We encourage you find a better restaurant-made pretzel in Madison than the one we make. You won’t.
  • We serve arguably the best under-the-radar burgers in Madison.
  • The most underrated Happy Hour in Madison. We have discounted drinks and even half off appetizers.
  • We’re proud members of the Sherman Neighborhood Association and Madison’s Northside in general.

  • We are “Madison’s Baseball Bar” for a reason. Across the street from Warner Park, we’re the closest bar to the Mallards stadium. We show Milwaukee Brewers games and host “Euchre with Uecker” tournaments. And our owner is the author of the book “It’s Just a Game.”

  • Bierock is an official Packers bar, recognized by the Green Bay Packers.
